Best of the best - Review of Round 2 (Season 1)
Matchday 2 – Review
Division 1
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
