Examples

  1. In their eagerness to put pressure on the CSKA strikers higher up the pitch, the [Parma]TEAM backline committed countless fouls in the first half, but the Russian side were never able to capitalise and test Sébastien Frey - who had replaced Bucci on 20 minutes - in the Parma goal. [80789 / p7]
  2. Monaco's frustration grew as the [Liverpool]TEAM backline resisted their attacks with ease, and the English team almost registered a goal on the counterattack in the 32nd minute, Igor Bišcan sliding a pass through for John Arne Riise, whose control gave Flavio Roma time to race off his line and save at the Norwegian's feet. [1077209 / p6]
  3. Suddenly [Roma’s]TEAM backline, which has not kept a clean sheet in Europe since February 2003, looked shaky. [1077212 / p9]
