Wednesday night saw action from 2 more Champions League 2012 matches, Again these matches represented games from this years Champions League round of 16. Winners from last nights games are set to progress through to the highly prized Champions League 2012 Quarter Finals.
In the first game we were treated to we saw Champions League 2012 action from the GSP Stadium in Nicosia where trailing APOEL played hosts to Lyon who lead the match up 1-0 following the first game. Many neutrals were behind APOEL in this match hoping for their Champions League 2012 campaign to continue, well lets think about this for a minute the Champions league is’nt usually the place for fairy tales.
More than usual the Champions League plays host to broken and shattered dreams, the problem being the gulf in quality between many of the teams. However APOEL began to believe when in the 9th minute they took the l
ead to level the scores on Aggregate, it was Gustavo Manduca who hit the net after drilling the ball into the net with his first touch following a pinpoint cross. Neither team could make any further impact during the remainder of normal time, in fact neither team made a goal during extra time either. This left honors even after 240 minutes of regular play time, meaning Penalties would be the deciding factor in this encounter.
Well for all you underdog lovers out there I can happily report that it was APOEL who performed the best and won penalties 4-3, meaning their Champions League 2012 fairytale will continue.
