    Commentators curse.

    Just as Alistair Mann is praising JB Gill in the Allstars goal, there's nothing he can do as Deportivo go 5-1 up.

    There's some debate about the last effort that's put Deportivo 4-1 up now.

    We've got a few different people taking charge of the matches for the 12 hours.

    At the moment it's former Premier League referee Phil Dowd.

    As far as the rules for today - whatever he says!

    "48 from his half century - that's what Michael Vaughan will be thinking. He'll be taking it session by session."

    Joe from Deportivo fires low into the corner to put them 2-0 up but Vaughan put a lovely left-foot effort in from 10 yards out to give the Allstars hope.

    And the Deportivo team number seven is having a special day as well.

    "A really nice finish from Mark from Deportivo to put them 1-0 up."

    "It's a better performance in this second game from the Allstars. Gallagher is giving them more width and Savage is keeping it simple."

  8. Nice finishpublished at 11:45 GMT 23 March 2018

    If you missed it earlier, here was the first goal the Allstars scored - Michael Vaughan neatly directing a cross past the goalkeeper.

    "Peter Reid does not look happy, but he's now organising the team photo. That's a forced smile because Peter won't like losing."

    "I have to say the man-of-the-match for me is Ben Bowers. He's been beaten twice but he's almost into double figures for the goals he's saved."

    It finishes 4-2 to Theologians United.

    "And Robbie has been nutmegged again. That's the second and we're going to keep a tally."

    Nowhere to hide.

    Darius from Theologians reminds the commentators that he's scored his hat-trick as he puts his side 4-1.

    The be-spectacled goalkeeper Ben Bowers has had a blinder at the other end, but Rachel Yankey is in the right place to sneak the second Allstars goal past them.

    And he's not impressed the commentators either!

    "It's been a very anonymous first 10 minutes for Robbie Savage but he's growing into the game."

    Ouch!

    Oh my, Robbie's caught a stray Theologians pass right where it hurts.

    But it's not easy for the Allstars, who are just finding how to play together.

    Darius from Theoligians gives Allstars goalkeeper JB Gill the eyes top put them 2-1 up.

    SPECTACULAR GOAL!

    Well, maybe not in the 'spectacular' category - but it is our first of the day!

    Michael Vaughan puts the Allstars 1-0 up.

    There are some questions of 'goal-hanging' from the commentators.

    "I've faced my fair share of penalty takers in my career but to do it solidly for 12 hours takes on a whole new dimension."
