It was the Obafemi show in Sao Paulo, as the Nigerian put away 4 class goals, starting with a flying volley on a full run and finishing with a cheeky chip from outside the box. The performance left his manager scratching his head. "7 goals in 7 games in the league, but he can't stop scoring in Coppa. I'll take 'em when I can get 'em, but it would be nice if this team could show up in season."

Selvy9 who got the Sao Paulo goal/assist?

Shit. I think Osvaldo? juanchoCT14 ?

GG, krtgolfing. I'd do a longer write-up, but the match was played a week ago, and my brain was turned to mush in Florida for a week. I do remember it being your proverbial match of two halves, where you had only one shot on target in the first half, but really turned it on in the second. Good luck in the tourney and Serie B, my fellow Charlottean!

The most unlikely scorer with a ridiculous spin around shot off the inside of the post and in. A statue will be erected for Romao by tomorrow!

my first solid shot to win a group and I laid an egg. Pabon just ate me up cutting in off the wing. Great touch on those goals too. Changed tactics and formation and the end and was finally able to link some play. Too little too late. Good game and good luck in the knock-out round.

​

In a game that was limited in terms of goalscoring chances, it was the French side who would get the vital goal at the death to escape Wales with a semifinals berth. Marseille started brightly as a shot from distance by Thauvin was smartly saved by Vorm in the 2nd minute. The ensuing corner would be cleared but right into the path of Thauvin, who really should have done better when his shot from 12 yards out went wide of the post. That would be all the chances in the 1st half for Marseille as Swansea would have a couple good chances of their own, but Mandanda stood tall, especially in the 18th minute when Bony thought he had scored with a header off a corner.

The second half was more of the same as both teams had trouble unlocking the opposing defense. In a game that looked increasingly likely to be heading into extra time, a poor clearance off a corner found Fanni at the edge of the box, and his shot rocketed off a sprawling Swansea defender and right into the path of Cheyrou, who was able to sneak it under Vorm for the only goal of the game.

​

heart breaker as the dream run in my final Coppa comes to an end. Good game... very Italian feel to it. If it has to go through me Zikry I hope it brings you another trophy.

PSV Eindhoven advance to the TFS Coppa semifinals with a 3-1 win over Shakhtar in rainy Holland. The home side were on the board first with a headed goal by J. Bruma (his 3rd of the tournament) from the 1st corner of the match. From then on it was an even affair, capped off by Shakhtar's equalizer...a near-post shot by Taison. Eindhoven would not go quietly, however, and after a throw in an advanced position, G. Wijnaldum's deep cross was met by B. Ruiz for the go-ahead goal. T. Matavz added a stoppage-time insurance goal to put the result beyond a doubt.

Very competitive match today as Sevilla seemed in control during the first half but the Seattle Sounders turned up the heat in the second half. It was one of Sevilla's best-played matches of the season, and in the end, the result reflected their good effort.

The second half was very tense after some poor defending and power by Pineda led to an equalizer in the 70th minute. Both teams traded opportunities in the final 20 minutes, but Sevilla scored the decisive goal on a loose ball scrum off a corner kick. The ball found its way to Iborra away from the pack, and he was able to nestle it into the right corner of the net to send the home crowd in a frenzy.

Great game Selvy9.

On a quite miserable day in the Netherlands it would be the visitors who would be partying deep into the night as Marseille were able to beat their arch-rivals thanks to 2 1st half goals. The game started off tame as both teams sat back, not wanting to make the first mistake. However, with the game's first real chance, Marseille took the lead as Gignac was able to dribble around near the edge of the box before delivering a strike past the hapless Eindhoven keeper. 5 minutes later a shell-shocked home side conceded another as a corner was poorly cleared and fell on the left boot of Ayew, who smacked it into the net to send the away fans into euphoria. The home fans would have hope renewed as 3 minutes later a poor clearance off a lob attempt was headed in by Narsingh; however, Marseille would survive the PSV onslaught in the 2nd half and eek into the final, as RedAL925 was clearly crestfallen as the final whistle blew.

Parma Book Trip To Confederazione Final
With a trip to the Coppa Confederazione Final on the line, Parma travelled to Stuttgart for a game with the Serie B side. The game was 0-0 for most of the first half, but Amauri finally broke through for the Italian club to give them a 1-0 lead just before the end of the half. And just two minutes into the second half, Marchionni doubled the lead. Parma's defense then stood strong for the remainder of the match, limiting Stuttgart's opportunites and earning a clean sheet in the process. "Very pleased with our performance today," said Coach Bronc following his team's win. "We played outstnading on both ends of the pitch all night and these lads certainly earned their trip to the Final tonight." Parma will face either Cruz Azul or Sao Paulo in the Final. "We were certainly disappointed to fail to qualify for the Coppa Tradizione based on tiebreakers, but we're making the best out of the situation at hand," the coach went on to say. "Now we'll wait and see who our last game will be against and try to bring some silverware back to Parma!"

GG bbrech0610 tale of 2 halves in this one. Your attack broke down my defense nicely in the first half and then the D tightened up the rest of the way. Luckily that chip shot had enough power behind it. I pulled the trigger on that shot early. Doumbia carried the team on his shoulders in this one. GG again.​

Really wished it was against someone else for a change...

shiftee

I really need an earlier window than 8. Thats 3am here now with the time change. Do you work 7 days a week? If not can we please try to schedule on your day(s) off.

Zikry I'll see what I can do about playing during the day. I work a lot during the week, and with 2 kids and a lot of events coming up I'm not usually home during the day on weekends.

If I can manage to make some time in the day for this then I will. But I'd also need you to be able to commit enough time to get this game as well as the 2 serie games played one after another.

shiftee

Make the time between noon and 5est and I'll play all 3. (Except on Saturday since CL final is on)
