Stabaek (Norway) 1 -
Deportivo 0 Played on Tuesday night to accommodate Real Madrid who play
Depor on Saturday, the Gallician side were surprised by a stronger than
expected Norwegian team. The only goal was scored by Finstad when Songo'o
failed to hold on to his strong shot. Deportivo are used to this situation; in
four European ties they have always lost the first leg, and in three of the
four they have recovered at home in the second leg.
Atlético de Madrid
3 - Ankaragucu (Turkey) 0 Atleti recorded their first win of the season
against a week Turkish side. With two international goalkeepers in his side,
Ranieri decided to play Toni in the league and Molina in the cup competitions.
Gamarra and Hasselbaink both scored their first official goals for their club
in a three minute period just before half time, the first a header from
Capdevila's cross, and the second a shot after a pass from Aguilera. The tie
was effectively over in the 57th minute when Paunovic added the third after
good work from Hasselbaink.
Lausanne (Switzerland) 3
- Celta 2 After an hour of play Celta were to all effects and purposes
out of the UEFA cup with a 3-0 scoreline against them, Lausanne scoring through
Kuzba and Mazzoni (2). However Revivo put Celta back in with a chance with two
moments of magic in five minutes. At first he somehow reached a ball which
seemed to be going out to flick it past the keeper from an impossible angle,
and he then produced a pass to McCarthy which left the defence with no option
but to bring the South African forward down for a penalty. Karpin scored from
the spot kick.
Sigma Olomouc (Czech Rep)
1 Mallorca 3 New manager Fernando Vázquez made his debut in
Europe with a good victory against the Czech side. The first goal came in the
twelfth minute when Engonga followed up on Stankovic's corner. Diego
Tristán scored the second in the second half from a cross from veteran
full back Miguel Soler. Olomouc pulled one back through Kobylik, but Mallorca
re-established the two goal margin thirteen minutes from time with a direct
free kick from Stankovic. Mallorc's eccentric goalkeeper 'Mono' Burgos
entertained the crowd with his antics. |
