ontd_football | Europa League Round-Up (bundesliga-style) (Reply)

Though it wasn't mentioned yet, the Europa League had over 30 qualifying matches played today.

And as evidence in the picture above shows, both Werder Bremen and Aktobe Lento played drunk, with sleep-deprivation and klosed eyes.

Needless to say it was not an easy day for Mr. Schaaf.

Oh, here's the score. I don't even have to put it in big font!

SCORING SUMMARY

Werder Bremen	Aktobe Lento
Sebastian Boenisch (16)	Sergei Strukov (22)
Mesut Ozil (28)	Sergei Strukov (32)
Ronaldo Aparecido Rodrigues Naldo (36)	Samat Smakov (87)
Hugo Almeida (60)
Ronaldo Aparecido Rodrigues Naldo (76)
Mesut Ozil (pen 68)

And despite what the scoreline suggests there for a while there it was a looking a little worrisome for Bremen in the first half. By the end of the second half they were looking much better, and I somehow managed to miss three of the goals while I was making a sandwich.

I didn't miss this one though:

(NALDO GOAL : 36')

I also managed to view some fabulous goal keeping by Wiese.

And by fabulous, I mean that he is directly responsible for all the goals Aktobe scored. After all he is:

Thank you

bismarcksotto for your insight. In the meantime, happy pictures!

GET ON IT!

Brøndby 2 - 1 Hertha Berlin

SCORING SUMMARY

Brøndby	Hertha Berlin
Mikkel Bischoff (51)	Valeri Domovchiyski (53)
Nemanja Pejcinovic (og 70)

Apparently, Hertha Berlin did not pay poorly as I assumed, rather they were very very unlucky. Highlights can be viewed here.

And a picture of Valeri's goal, 'cuz I'd slaughter his last name:

Guingamp 1 - 5 Hamburg SV

SCORING SUMMARY

Guingamp	Hamburg SV
Wolfgang Hesl (og 88)	José Paolo Guerrero (7)
	Mladen Petric (11)
	Mladen Petric (26)
	Marcus Berg (51)
	Mladen Petric (86)

Alas no highlights again. However full match to anyone who would like to watch a royal stomping.

And some pictures, although their quality leaves something to be desired.

Curse you AP!

Oh right, so make sure to tune in within the following days whilst these fierce players continue to play for an unnamed trophy as of now.

You go UEFA!
