Europa League final: "Atletico" - "Fulham" Bashny.Net

Yesterday in Hamburg, Germany, was the final of the Europa League Cup.





In the final battle came together two coaches who had previously never became winners of the European Cup as a coach. Quique Flores (Quique Sanchez Flores) and his "Atletico" countered Roy Hodgson (Roy Hodgson) and "Fulham».





The match is not rife with plenty of scoring chances. The teams played collected, but my nerves sometimes play pranks then one, then the other. Unfortunately, "truckers" failed to fully open one of the best attacking duo this season Bobby Zamora (Bobby Zamora) - Zoltan Gera (Zoltan Gera). It's all about Bobby, who played a match on injections.







Another thing Sergio Aguero (Sergio Aguero) - Diego Forlan (Diego Forlan), which became the real heroes of the match.





The first moment came at the gates, "Fulham" Dickson Etuhu after a mistake in midfield. The ball is quickly turned from "Kun", which moved the ball on for Diego Forlán, looming in the penalty area. Uruguayan kick hit the post.



Very good match showed for "mattress" Portuguese Simao (Simao), literally "ate" on the wing Baird.





However, the first goal was scored by the fault of the center of the defense of the British. Sergio "Kun" Aguero curled in and shot, but the ball fell at the feet of Diego Forlan, who easily and gracefully beat Schwarzer.







But the defense of the Spaniards yesterday was much weaker than his attacking line. Allowing "cottagers" perepasovyvayutsya quietly in his own penalty, "mattress" missed after billiard perepasovki Zamora - Duff - Gera - Davis. It happened in the 37th minute of the match. After some six minutes after a missed goal.









In the second half, the team began to play more cautiously. The advantage of almost all the second 45 minutes owned wards Roy Hodgson. That the English and appeared very real chance to snatch victory. But the blow of the same Davis young goalkeeper of "mattress" managed to parry. The key problem "Truckers" still was the injury Bobby Zamora, who left the field after ten minutes into the second half.
So we play the game until overtime ... Where it proved luckier Spaniards. Newly hung Aguero and Forlan struck again Schwarzer. This happened 4 minutes before the end of the second overtime. "Summer People" by that time had already sour. "Atletico" (Madrid) - the first winner of the Europa League!
