MOTM: CSKA Schennikov

CS: CSKA Akinfeev

This game was a lot of fun. Tight defensive battle that saw both teams only get a combined 3 shots on target in the entire first half. The pace seemed to pick up a little bit in the 2nd half but neither team was really able to generate many clear chances. Both teams keepers made huge saves when finally called upon, diving every which way to keep the ball out of their respective nets. CSKA would break the deadlock at the 53' minute mark when Doumbia converted on a corner kick. Grenier had a great chance to tie it up in the 63rd minute but Akinfeev got his gloves to the shot to knock it out for a corner kick. On the ensuing corner, Gomis came within inches of netting the equalizer but the header went just wide.

GG BESHIKTAS and GL the rest of the way.​

Stuttgart took the three points necessary to have any chance of making it out of this difficult group. Die Roten will have to hope for an upset or scrap for a point against superior clubs from here on out, and hope they inflict sufficient damage on each other.

Stuttgart did manage two fine goals, although the first somewhat defies explanation - my striker passes from a deep midfield position to my CDM, who was inexplicably far upfield.



The second was more conventional, but still nice as Cacau rolled it back through the box, Martin Harnik dummied the ball and allowed it to roll to Didavi, who one-timed it to the far corner, just a minute after pitt4life21 had drawn level. What looked like a certain draw turned into a victory for the German visitors.

gg krtgolfing

A double save from the Bilbao keeper wasn't enough, as the 3rd time was the charm and Hernandez slotted home the parry from the left side of the 6 yard box. Bony had the goal of the day as he took a pass from the wing, dipped inside the defender and smashed home the finish from just inside the 18 yard box. Lamah was the beneficiary of a Bony blast that the Bilbao keeper did well to deflect, unfortunately right to Lamah for the open-net finish. Michu added a counter-attack goal late, as Bilbao attempted to get on the score sheet.​

Hamburg Jump Out To Early Lead In 1-0 Victory
After 11 seasons, Broncos218 and RedAL925 had yet to ever meet in a cup match. Drawn into the same group this season, they finally got their first shot at each other in the Coppa. PSV came in needing some points after dropping all three to Gremio, but Hamburg came out of the gates early with a 6th minute goal from Lasogga. PSV then built an offensive attack around high possession, but the Dutch club was ultimately unable to find the back of the net. "When you play a RedAL side, you know possession won't be in your favor," said Coach Bronc. "You have to capitalize on your few chances, and with the early goal, it gave us some breathing room for the remainder of the match." Rene Adler held on for the clean sheet in denying all 5 shots on target from PSV. With 3 points in Group E, Hamburg's next match against VfB Stuttgart will determine who moves into first place.

MOTM: V. Mannone (9.1)

CS: V. Mannone (9 saves)

This game was a lot more physical and pounding compared to the 2-2 shootout the two clubs played in Serie B action earlier this week.

Miniero saw most of the best chances in the 1st half, as Sunderland didn't even get a shot off until the final breaths of the half.

The lone goal of the match came via a rebound by substitute Andy Johnson on basically the only clear counter-attack for his team in the match.

MOTM: Morgan Schneiderlin (Southampton)​

Southampton got out on the front foot in the 17th minute as Pablo Osvaldo was able to head home a cross from Gaston Ramirez, and just ten minutes later the home team was able to double their lead as Rickie Lambert pounced on a rebound following a save from Osvaldo's effort. The two goals in the first 30 minutes would be it for the day as Sevilla wouldn't let any more through, but Southampton stayed strong defensively to make the lead count and get an important group stage win in the fabled "Group of Death."

Good game bbrech0610 and good luck in rest of the games
