Highlights from Week 2 in the CL
By: Rob | October 1st, 2009So a big week of Champions League has been and gone, and it threw up a few surprises. And a few games went as expected. So here are the most interesting highlights, that I could find.
The two biggest upsets came from Italy. Above, misfiring Milan suffered a shock defeat after a beautiful finish from Zurich defender Hannu Tihinen enough to win the game 1-0. Milan are now in all kinds of trouble with the start of the season they’ve had.
Elsewhere in Italy and to Florence, where La Viola gave Serie A a reason to smile, as they beat Liverpool. After the defeat they suffered in Matrch Day 1 against Lyon, Fiorentina needed a result here, and it makes that group very interesting indeed.
Fiorentina’s first goal by the way, a perfectly brilliant abuse of the “interfering with play” rule, and indeed, proof that you should play to the whistle.
Man United looked like they might join Liverpool in terms of teams beaten, after they went 1-0 to German Champions Wolfsburg, but a freak Giggs Free-kick (his 150th Man United goal) and a Carrick winner meant United won the game 2-1
For awhile it looked like OM would get a result against Real Madrid, an even first hour fell to pieces for the French side, when a preventable opener for Ronaldo, a penalty for Kaká and a second Ronaldo goal in ten minutes spelt game over for Marseille.
