Igor Denisov’s 72nd-minute goal broke Rangers’ stubborn resistence as Zenit St Petersburg ground out a 2-0 victory in a predictably tight UEFA Cup final at the City of Manchester Stadium.
Denisov slotted past Neil Alexander with 18 minutes to go to break the hearts of Walter Smith’s men and the estimated 100,000 fans they [...]
A Manchester, la squadra di San Pietroburgo conquista il primo trofeo continentale della sua storia: i gol di Denisov e Zyrianov, nella ripresa, gelano gli scozzesi. Vittoria meritata per i russi, che hanno punito l'eccessivo difensivismo degli avversari.

Cocente beffa per i viola, che dominano gli scozzesi nei tempi regolamentari e anche nei supplementari ma vengono superati dal dischetto. Di Vieri e Liverani gli errori decisivi. A Manchester il 14 maggio finale Uefa tra Gers e Zenit San Pietroburgo.
Daca intrebai inaintea disputarii semifinalelor, 'Care va fi finala?', majoritatea oamenilor ti-ar fi spus Bayern - Fiorentina. Insa, fotbalul ne-a oferit o zi plina de surprize. Dupa ce Zenit a spulberat-o pe Bayern cu 4-0, Fiorentina a fost si ea eliminata din competitie de Rangers. Dupa 180 de minute fara gol + inca 30 de prelungiri, s-a ajuns la loteria penalty-urilor. Si aici Fiorentina pornea favorita tinand cont de terenul propriu, experienta jucatorilor si, mai ales, a portarul Frey. Meciul, in sine, a fost unul destul de plictisitor, cu o echipa Fiorentina care a atacat fara sa riste si un Rangers ce s-a aparat cu toate liniile. Vorba comentatorului, 'Rangers nu a jucat nimic 180 de minute plus cele 30 de prelungiri, dar va juca in finala'. La penalty-uri se parea ca se va face dr
Nella prima semifinale di coppa Uefa i russi travolgono i bavaresi a San Pietroburgo dopo l'1-1 dell'andata. Segnano Pogrebnyak (doppietta), Zyrianov e Fayzulin. Tedeschi deludenti, Toni, poco servito, stavolta resta a secco.
Cine se astepta la inceputul sezonului ca Zenit St. Petersburg sa ajunga in finala Cupei UEFA? Cred ca nici cel mai infocat suporter al rusilor nu se astepta la o asemenea performanta, tinand cont de ce echipe a elimat Zenit in parcursul catre finala. Am ramas impresionat in aceasta seara de forta echipei rusesti care a umilit pur si simplu viitoarea campioana a Germaniei. Zenit a intrat in Cupa UEFA, in turul II preliminar, acolo unde a eliminat echipa slovaca FC Vion Zlate Moravce dupa o dubla victorie 2-0, in deplasare si 3-0, acasa. In primul tur al Cupei UEFA a eliminat, proaspata campioana a Belgiei, Standard Liege, dupa o victorie in Rusia, 3-0, si un egal la Liege, 1-1.Calficata in grupe, Zenit s-a calificat de pe locul 3, cu doar 5 pct obtinute intr-o grupa extrem de grea, alaturi

I felt sorry for Spanish team Getafe last night, after they held Bayern Munich to one all draw in Germany in the first leg, they must have fancied their chances in the home tie.

Champions Zenit St. Petersburg continued a patchy opening to the season with a 2-2 draw at struggling Shinnik Yaroslavl on Sunday that left them in the bottom half of the table.It was a downbeat conclusion to a busy week for the team that saw a 4-1 rout over Bayer Leverkusen that puts it to the brink of a place in the UEFA Cup semi-finals for the first time. Striker Andrei Arshavin, who scored the opening goal in Germany on Thursday, also ran in the Olympic Torch relay through St. Petersburg on Saturday and celebrated the birth of a baby daughter earlier in the week. In other weekend matches in the Premier League, Rubin Kazan stretched their perfect start to four matches after goals from defender Dato Kvirkvelia and Sergei Semak helped them to a 2-1 home win over Tomsk.Dynamo Moscow stayed
Nell'andata dei quarti di coppa Uefa grande impegno e grinta della Fiorentina, che nella ripresa diventa anche potente con il tridente Pazzini-Vieri-Mutu.

Bolton manager Gary Megson showed where his teams priorities lie, by leaving out seven first team regulars for the visit to Sporting Lisbon. Clearly he feels Premiership survival is more important to the club than the progressing to the last eight of the UEFA cup.

Tip For Tonight: Sporting to beat BoltonPick From UEFA Cup, last, 16 2nd Leg (1:1 in the first)After the drama we have seen yesterday in the same tournament with penalties shootout decided a couple of clashes it looks like we have a pretty safety bets tonight and I will choose Sporting as Werder - Rangers game still have few questions not answered yet.Sporting have a contrasting form in the domestic league compared to the European trip of the team. The squad is struggling at home and have been dropped down to 5th in the league standings in Portugal. But I will tell you it is a totally different story when they come to compete in Europe, specially at the home ground. Adding some good news for the coach as Liedsen back in the group I will consider Sporting as huge favorite to win this one.I
La sfida di ritorno degli ottavi termina 4-4 dopo i calci di rigore (2-0 per l'Everton dopo 120'). Inglesi a segno con Johnson e Arteta, la squadra di Prandelli in sofferenza fino alla fine, poi implacabile dal dischetto. Frey protagonista assoluto.
Marseille - ZenitPick From UEFA Cup, Round of 16, 1st LegIt is almost impossible to find a kind of safety bet today when the last 16 teams in UEFA Cup tournament will fight for a breath ahead of the second leg. But I am being tempted to put my finger on the game in France as Marseille look like the top form team at the moment. After a disaster start in the domestic league Marseille improved a lot and started to gain points and confidence. Cisse is doing a great job in front and reminds us for his best years in football.The two sides were drawn together at the same stage in the 2005/06 competition with the Russians managed to go through, so, the French side has everything to play for if does not want to repeat the history. Marseille look strong on the records as have played nine games again
Slavia Prague vs Tottenham 1.90 3/4 : 0 2.00There is no reason why Spurs cannot dominate in this away fixture. Woodgates seems to be settling in just nicely which in fact solved much of Spurs' defensive problems. With defence settled, attack has never been Spurs' problem so expect them to take this fixture easily.Take Spurs at -3/4Bet: SGD200
It's three games and three losses for Argentine clubs in the 2008 Copa Libertadores, as River Plate went down to Peru's Universidad San Martin this afternoon. River Plate lost to a college team? Nah, they're just called that. The Lima side are full-on professionals. Yesterday, Estudiantes and San Lorenzo came up short in their opening games in the group stage and today River were put to the sword, 2-0, with the second goal scored by a 33 year-old Argentine journeyman named Jose Luis Diaz (the same thing happened yesterday). I'm not sure where today's upset ranks, but San Martin were probably the weakest team in what some have called the Group of Death of this tournament (the other teams are Mexico City's Club America and Santiago's Universidad Catolica). The Argies have plenty of chances
Tottenham Hotspur advanced to the UEFA Cup Round of 32 after Dimitar Berbatov converted a 71st minute penalty kick equalizer to earn a crucial point from Spurs' trip to Anderlecht earlier today. Three minutes earlier, Bart Goor had put the hosts in front. The North London side now have seven points from four games and are temporarily in first place in Group G (the group's four other teams all have a game in hand).Leverkusen and Spartak Moscow also used today's games to advance to the knockout stage of the tournament. Yesterday, more than half a dozen teams did so. All told, 13 teams have booked their tickets to the Round of 32: the trio mentioned here, Everton, Villareal, FC Zürich, Panathinaoikos, Atletico Madrid, Hamburg, Basel, Bordeaux and Helsingborg. Eleven spots are still up for grabs. The eight third placed teams from the Champions League will then fill out the first knockout round, to be drawn Dec. 21.Bolton did everything they needed to today, beating the team formerly kn
Big clubs from England, Spain and Germany made strides in yesterday's UEFA Cup match-day as Everton, Atletico Madrid, Villareal and Hamburg SV all notched clear wins that put them through to the Round of 32. Ten of the elimination round spots have now been decided, with most teams left with a game or two on their group stage schedule.The most impressive of yesterday's victories for me was Hamburg's 2-0 win at Dynamo Zagreb. Both goals came at the very end of the game. Zagreb now have one measly point from three games and have no chance of advancing to the next round. Atletico also won on the road, beating F.C. Copenhagen, 2-0. Villareal made quick work of visiting Elfborg by the same margin, with Jon Dahl Tomasson notching a brace to put his fellow Scandinavians out of their misery. The Swedish side have completed their four games, with a final tally of one point (which they earned against AEK Athens, if you must know). It was a big day for Greek clubs as well, with Panathinaikos a
Villarreal vs Elfsborg1.975 0 : 2 1.925Don't get me wrong, i do not have a habit of picking big handicaps to overcover for my sure win tips but signs are there that Villarreal may go all the way to win this year's UEFA Cup. With Elfsborg having virtually no chance of qualifying, there is no better chance for Villarreal to grab a decisive win at home.Take Villarreal at -2Bet: SGD66.25
A semblance of order is beginning to emerge in the group stage of the UEFA Cup after today's match day. With three teams advancing from each five team group, I figure that a final tally of six points from the four games will be enough to do the trick. Right now seven squads have reached that threshold: Everton, F.C. Zurich, Tottenham, Panathinaikos, Hamburg, Helsingborg and Bordeaux. Everton, Zurich, Panathinaikos and HSV have only played twice.Also in good shape are teams with five points (Zenit St. Petersburg, Fiorentina and Bayern Munich), as well as those with four points from two games (AZ Alkmaar, Villareal, Spartak Moscow, Anderlecht, Atletico Madrid, F.C. Basle and Aris Thessaloniki).On the opposite end of the spectrum, Larissa and Toulouse both have zero points from three games and are mathematically eliminated already. On life support are Aberdeen, Elfsborg and Rennes, with one point each from three games. Besides winning their last game, these three sides are going to need
