Best of the best - Review of Round 2 (Season 1)

Matchday 2 – Review

Division 1


Madrid 1 – 3 Stuttgart
A shock at the Bernabeu as Kev’s Madrid go down at home to Yuri’s Stuttgart. Midfielder Juan Veron got the opening goal on 12 minutes, and defender Fernando Meira made it 2-0 before the half-hour mark. Tevez pulled a goal back to give Real hope, but a goal 3 minutes later by Delpierre settled the match to give Stuttgart the 3 points.

Celtic 0 – 1 Inter
Dave Leigh’s Inter took 3 points from Celtic Park, as Nav’s Scots weren’t strong enough to even get a point. A solitary goal from Dejan Stankovic on 28 minutes, sealed the 3 points for the Italians.

Reading 0 – 2 Porto
Roscoee’s Porto took on unmanaged Reading, at the Madejski, on a cold and blustery Thursday night. Striker Helder Postiga put the Portuguese one up on 34 minutes, after a goalmouth scramble. The second half was lit up in the 77th minute when defender and MOM Pepe, scored to give Porto the 3 points.

Man United 2 – 0 Guadalajara
No upsets here as Herby’s Man United beat Paul’s Guadalajara 2-0. Ex-Barcelona defender Rafa Marquez put United 1-0 up on 37 minutes. Veteran Ryan Giggs made it two just before the hour mark, and the score stayed like that until the end.

Lyon 1 – 0 PSV
One goal settled this match at de Gerland. Teje’s Lyon got their first win of the season, courtesy of a Fred goal. Brazilian hitman Fred struck in the 18th minute. His curling shot proved to be enough to send Colin Barker’s PSV back to Holland unhappy.
