FT: Benetton 9-19 Glasgow Warriors 

16:48

Player of the Match: Stafford McDowall 

79

Glasgow penalty

Ben Afshar comes on at scrum half. Dobie moves to the wing and Weir puts Glasgow on the Benetton 22 for a line out penalty and final chance to attack.
76

Glasgow scrum

Just five minutes to play and  Glasgow win another scrum, following an unforced error knocked on from another Dobie kick.
74

Glasgow try

Jamie Dobie has slotted a number of chips over the top of the Benetton defensive line, and they have not all come off. But, this time. It bounces perfectly for Stafford McDowall, he breaks away from his opposite men, and has Tom Jordan in support who dives in under the posts. Try number three for Glasgow. And, the extras added by Duncan Weir.
73

Umaga scores

We're now in a three-point contest with Umaga's third goal attempt going over.
72

Benetton penalty

Glasgow penalised at the breakdown once again, in front of the posts, in their own half. This is a straight shot at goal.
70

Sordoni returns

Glasgow do well to not concede any points during the sin bin period.
69

Chip and chase

Jamie Dobie finds space to chip over the Benetton defensive line, but the bounce goes awry as Sebastian Cancelliere runs on to it.
67

Glasgow scrum

From the drop out Glasgow then force a knock on and win a ten metre scrum in Benetton's half.
66

Benetton penalty

The Glasgow scrum is overturned again and Benetton kick for touch. However, the ball goes dead and Glasgow can drop out from the 22.
64

Replacements

Miller for Ferrie Manjezi for Samuel Weir for Thompson
63

Relief for Glasgow

A breakaway maul looks like an inevitable try for Benetton, but with the lock ahead of the ball and blocking defenders the referee awards Glasgow a penalty. Thompson kicks the ball well clear and the pressure is back off for now.
62

Benetton penalty

Glasgow are just not able to get a clean scrum and after a number of attempts the referee blows for a Benetton penalty. They kick to within ten metres of the whitewash, and Glasgow are now under pressure to hold on to their lead.
61

Replacements

Kebble for Cordero Hiddleston for Matthews Dell for McBeth
60

Glasgow scrum

Euan Ferrie and Thomas Gordon work really hard to turnover a Benetton maul, which wins the visitor's the ball and eases the pressure momentarily, while down a man.
60

Sordoni sin binned

Lucio Sordoni is sent marching after an elbow blow to his opposite man, without the ball.
56

Glasgow penalty

After a short kicking battle, Glasgow win a penalty and advance right up to Benetton's 22 mark.
56

Glasgow restart

Another deep restart from Thompson is returned by Alessandro Garbisi, which sets Glasgow up with a line out on halfway.
16:17

Benetton add points

Full back Umaga adds another three points to the home team's tally.
53

Benetton penalty

The sustained pressure works against Glasgow though, giving away a penalty at the ruck. Winger Onisi Ratave takes a quick tap and gains ground fast.
52

Glasgow drive Benetton back

Glasgow are slowly pushing Benetton back from their 22. Good tackling and effective counter rucking is edging the hosts back.

Kick out on the full

Glasgow win the ball back, stealing the Benetton line out. However, the clearance kick from centre Stafford McDowall goes out on the full and Benetton win another penalty, right on Glasgow's 22.
48

Benetton pressurise

After a handful of phases back-and-forth, Benetton find a way to pin Glasgow back and start attacking their 22. With that, the noise around the stadium rises significantly with the locals getting behind their team. They haven't managed to breach the Glasgow defence and gain points yet though.
45

Benetton penalty

The hosts add their first points on the board, with full back Jacob Umaga slotting his first penalty kick attempt.
43

Benetton penalty

Benetton win the ball back, forcing a penalty and the ruck. They kick the ball deep, win a line out and then another penalty, now in Glasgow's half, and in front of the posts.
42

Starting on the front foot

Glasgow quickly win the ball back, in Benetton territory. They opt to play a close quarters kicking game, with Jamie Dobie chipping and gathering his own kick to gain a handful of yards. In the next phase, Thompson pins Benetton back again and sets up a goal line drop out for Glasgow to gather once again.
41

36'

TRY GLASGOW

Clinical! It's the kicking game again that forces the error, as Dobie's chip and Cordero's pressure leads to a Benetton spill. McDowall shows great skill to dribble the ball forward and dive over for the score, Thompson adding the extra two for good measure!
34'

Great work from Cordero! The wingernot only keeps the ball in play from the penalty, he finds a 50-22 for good measure!

24'

Penalty Benetton

Benetton react quickly from the lineout and break through Fekitoa - Cancelliere goes for the turnover but the ref adjudges him to have gone off feet, and Albornoz finds touch on the Glasgow 22.
23'

Benetton ball

Great pressure again from Glasgow, as Alex Samuel goes charging through. Cancelliere and Dobie combine down the blindside to turn the defence.
20'

Benetton ball

Chance! Cordero's pressure forces the high ball to be spilled, and McDowall hacks through. The centre claims he was pulled back in the chase, but nothing from the referee - Glasgow lineout 35m out after Garbisi clears.
19'

Glasgow ball

Nice work from Cancelliere down the blindside as he makes 15 metres, before chasing Dobie's kick well to take down Ratave.
16'

Still Benetton ball but Glasgow's defence is resolute. A great read from Jordan and McDowall forces the knock on from Marco Zanon, and Glasgow have the scrum 30m from their own line.
15'

13'

Penalty Benetton

Pettinelli gets over the ball at the breakdown, and referee Cross awards the penalty. Albornoz finds touch just outside the Glasgow 22.
11'

Glasgow ball

Thompson has the ball on a string at the moment, forcing Garbisi to scramble. The scrum-half finds touch just inside his own half, giving Glasgow the lineout.
9'

Missed conversion

Thompson can't add the extras from out wide, so it remains 5-0 to the Warriors.
8'

TRY GLASGOW

It doesn't matter! Benetton overthrow the lineout and it lands right in the hands of the arch-poacher, as Matthews dives over from two metres out for his 11th try of the season!
7'

Benetton lineout

Close! Glasgow go through the phases before the ball is eventually spun wide, but Benetton scramble Cordero into touch just a metre from the line
6'

Penalty Glasgow

Ratave is in fact penalised for jumping into contact, and Thompson finds touch seven metres from the Benetton line.
5'

Glasgow ball

The original call was in fact a Benetton scrum, but after a bit of kick tennis Glasgow regain possession courtesy of Cordero. Onisi Ratave acrobatically claims the kick from Thompson, but his attempted offload goes forward and Glasgow have the scrum.
4'

Alessandro Garbisi's box-kick swirls in the wind and misses everyone, but Benetton knock on as they look to regather. Glasgow scrum on the Benetton 10m line.
