Champions League Results – Bad night for English Football
Champions League Results 2012 – Round of 16
In tonight’s Champions League results we were treated to the delights of 2 top quality games both of which produced plenty of drama. All 4 teams in action tonight were fully aware that any slip ups tonight would mean that they will be out of this years Champions League competition. Tonight’s games were between Chelsea and Napoli and Real Madrid and CSKA Moskow.
The first game we will look at tonight is the game between Chelsea and Napoli. From a English perspective Chelsea were left firmly holding the English flag after the disappointing display from Arsenal last week, could Chelsea improve on English Champions League results. As things turned out Chelsea made a good start to this game and Juan Mata got the vital first goal in this game, even more important it was a vital Away goal. This goal would of been fantastic for Chelsea if their leaky defence wasn’t so very poor, Napoli got an equalizer in the 39th Minute from Ezequiel Lavezzi. Then in the 2nd minute of added time of the first half Edinson Cavani pushed Napoli into the lead and Chelsea’s world began tumbling down. Their defeat was compounded when Lavezzi scored Napoli’s third and final goal in the 65th minute. This defeat will undoubtedly start the footballing word expecting Andre Villas Boas to depart the London club, however I am more concerned about the poor Champions League results of English clubs in this seasons Champions League in general.
Champions League Results – Any new Favorites?
Of course with the English clubs now out of the running we look to the other contenders from the other Champions League results from the remaining games in this round of 16. So to complete tonight’s Champions League results we look to Moscow to see if Real Madrid can keep pace with Barcelona. After 28 Minutes Cristiano looked to be doing a good job of taking his team into the 2nd leg with a healthy away lead. All looked well for Real until the 3rd minutes of added time at the end of the 2nd half Pontus Wernbloom scored the vital equaliser for CSKA.
More Champions League results will follow tomorrow night and we hope to bring you news of those games tomorrow as well as future Champions League results from the remainder of the competition.
FA Cup scores – Saturday 18th February 2012
FA Cup Scores 2012 – 5th Round
In todays FA Cup matches we saw action from 5 games with the potential for upsets high on every ones radar. As each of todays games progressed it became clear todays FA Cup scores would not dissapoint in delivering some surprising scorelines.
We start todays FA cup scores report with the game at Stamford Bridge where Chelsea met Birmingham, Birmingham are performing well in The Championship whilst Chelsea continue to falter at vital moments in the current season. Chelsea further fluffed their lines when after 20 minutes shambolic defending meant that Birmingham took the lead when David Murphy scores for the Brummie Blues. Did I hear someone mention an upset, well thankfully for you Chelsea Fans in the 62nd Minute Daniel Sturridge headed in to level things up. Birmingham however did not lay down and deservedly will pull Chelsea back to Saint Andrews for the replay after the game ended 1-1.
Our next game from todays FA Cup scores selection took place at the Stadium of Light for the match between Sunderland and Arsenal. It was hard to ignore the mid week game between Arsenal and AC Milan, could Sunderland add to the London Clubs misery. Darn straight they could although on current form this is’nt really an upset todays 2-0 victory for Sunderland underlines what will be another trophyless season from Arsenal. Sunderland scored first in the 40th Minute from Kieran Richardson and their second came by virtue of an own goal from Alex Oxlaid-Chamberlain. This leaves Arsenal needing to ensure their league scores do not mirror their FA cup scores.
FA Cup Scores – Any Upsets ?
The remaining games making up todays FA cup scores all saw teams from different divisions meaning a real upset was a strong possibility, so FA cup upset of the day goes to the game between Norwich City and Leicester City. The foxes of Leicester turned up a 2-1 upset as the away team at Carrow Road, Leicester’s first goal came early in the 4th minute from Sean St. Ledger. Norwich looked to save face before half time with an equaliser from Wes Hoolahan in the 22nd minute. The upset was complete once David Nugent struck in the 70th minute, this gives us the upset of the day on our FA cup scores report.
Sorry to have removed your anticipation for the remaining games but in the final 2 games no upset was managed. Everton beat Blackpool 2-0 with goals from Drenthe before even a minute met the clock, then Stracqualursi completed the scoreline less than 5 minutes later. Then the final game from todays FA cup scores came from the game at The Den where Bolton were convincing 2-0 winners over Millwall Miyaichi opened the scoring in the 3rd minute and David Ngog sealed victory after 58 minutes.
So that concludes this FA cup scores round up from todays games and as always please like us on facebook or Google + us we really appreciate your support. Check back in the future for more FA cup scores news written by real sports fans on Real Sporting news.
Europa League 2012 – Manchester Clubs results
Europa League Results – Thursday 16th February 2012
In tonight’s Europa League games we saw action from 14 separate matches, these matches were made up from the teams that missed out on qualification to the Champions League knock out rounds.
Amongst these teams were 2 English clubs that were fancied for great things in this years Champions League competition. These were Manchester United and Manchester City, in tonight’s UEFA Europa League summary these are the first 2 games I will cover.
Manchester United travelled to the Netherlands to meet AJAX in Amsterdam for this Europa League 1st leg, these 2 clubs have a great history of matches against each other and many may consider it a bitter rivalry. Reports before the game suggested numerous AJAX supporters had been arrested after trying to start trouble with the United supporters. As for the game itself I thought the first half was very disappointing from United’s side, granted they are way from home but at times their build up seemed to lack any real venom which left them vulnerable to the famous AJAX total football approach. This stalemate meant the game was goalless at half time. Fortunately the Second half was more fruitful for United as they took the lead in the 59th Minute with a goal from Ashley Young before sealing victory in the 85th minute with a goal from Hernandez. Manchester United Boss Alex Ferguson will be pleased to take a 2 goal cushion in to the 2nd leg at Old Trafford, with things looking good for Europa League progression.
Europa League Result – Man City V Porto
Manchester City on the other hand looked to make their 2012 Europa League 1st leg tie against Porto even more difficult, after the Portugese home team took the lead mid way through the first half this goal from Varela meant Porto held the lead at Half Time. In the second half City had it all to do but managed to take control of the game and mount an outstanding comeback. Pereira turned the ball into his own net after 55 minutes, this was a mistake that would prove very costly for his teams Europa League campaign. After mounting pressure from Man City they took the lead after Aguero scored in the 85th minute after coming on from the bench. This means the current Europa league holders are 1 goal behind going into the 2nd leg, will the 2 away goals prove vital.
As fort the remaining 12 Europa League games might I suggest heading over to the UEFA website for full match reports and Europa League scores.
Champions League Results Tuesday 13th February 2012
Champions League – Its Back !
Finally the Champions League is back for this years round of 16, granted there are some notable absentees who will begin their Europa league campaigns later this week. However many top teams including the current holders are still going strong as they continue their Champions League campaigns tonight.
In fact tonights first game we take a look at the current UEFA Champions League holders Barcelona, the Catalan outfit travelled to Leverkusen this evening in the first leg of the round of 16. Barcelona took first blood this evening with Alexis Sanchez giving Barcelona the lead in the 41st minute, giving Barca the lead going into the break. Leverkusen struck back however in the 52nd minute when Michal Kadlec headed the ball into the net, the even score sheet was however shot lived when Sanchez doubled his UEFA Champions League goal tally with a 2nd goal in the 55th minute showing Barcelona had never lost a grip of the game. Their performance was capped off with none other than Lionel Messi who scored his teams 3rd goal with 2 minutes of normal time remaining. Barcelona ended up winning 3-1 with many wondering how many more goals they will grab in the 2nd leg.
Champions League Results – Lyon V APOEL
Our final game tonight was played at the Stade de Gerland in Lyon where the home team met with surprise qualifiers APOEL. Well this game was to contain many fewer goals than the Barcelona game with only 6 shots on target from both teams for the whole of the game, in fact this was the Cypriat teams main problem only managing one shot on target all game. This meant it was Lyon who scored the games only goal with Alexandre Lacazette continuing his stunning scoring form even though the shot was deflected into the net. APOEL are not out of this years Champions league yet however and are fully capable of over turning a one goal deficit.
Here at Real Sporting News we will continue to cover the remaining Champions league games this week and next, we will also follow this weeks games from the Europa league games. Remember to like and +1 our articles sports fans.
