The second match on Tuesday was even more fun. Here and there were more goals and passions higher. And most importantly - in this pair played the current holder of the trophy.

And after 17 minutes Diego Milito shot Neuer no chance after a neat discounts from Cambiasso.









But even before the end of the first half, the visitors leveled the score. Brazilian Edu second attempt to leveling the score with one touch.





A key turning point was the goal, and Raul in the 53rd minute when left-back, "Inter" did not have time to get out of the "zone" and Raul nobody covered. As a result, Spanish goalscorer was left alone in the center of the penalty area. Earn the ball, Signor Gonzalez struck Julio Cesar.













A 4 minutes Ranokkya (probably the worst player of the match) cut the ball into his own net. 2: 4





After 5 minutes, the Romanian Chivu received his second yellow card and left the hosts in the minority. Schalke's nothing to do but to finish off an opponent. And he did it the Brazilian Edu, apply for a double. Probably the second semi-finalist is already known to us, too.
