05 Nov 2009: NK Dinamo Zagreb - Ajax

[Cedric]

This was a real elbow in a the face of Suarez... Red card !

[Orange14]

DZ just lost a player on a Red card. Elbow to the back of Suarez's head. Deserved.

[Cedric]

And Zagreb just failed to score...

SopCast 74174 is the only one I can find. Good picture today.

Unfortunately, I can't get SopCast "because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “sop:""

Anything else? Or is there a workaround for this? (Sorry to be such a dummy. )

[Orange14]

and we got lucky that they missed a good shot at Stek's net on some bonehead midfield play!

[gordonvandekamp]

I think we're looking pretty good. Getting back and winning the balls in midfield and lots of space for the attacks. Enoh just got stopped on a good one on one with the keeper. Reminding me of last weekend.

[Orange14]

#2 to Demy DeZeeuw from a nice cross from Luis-Luis!

[Orange14]

2-0 at the half. Decent play for the most part. A couple of bad passes in the midfield caused some danger but ultimately DZ couldn't put it away. Need a good start in the 2nd half and then park the bus.

[Van basten]

We're in the next round!

[SPL]

great so far but we have let them have a couple of chances. 7 of the team from our youth academy which is good to see.

Make it 8 now. Donald on for Enoh

[gordonvandekamp]

2nd yellow for Calello, against 9 men for the 2nd straight game.

[Orange14]

Back to 7 now as Suleijmani comes on for Urby.

[Orange14]

Oleguer on for Vertonghen

[gordonvandekamp]

Rest them for Sunday now.

In the other group game, Anderlecht is up 3-1.

Also see Maduro scored for Valencia, he seemed to disappear completely the last year or so.

Maduro has been playing central defense and doing quite well at it. I've been thinking he should get a run with the NT as that is where we need some depth.

[SPL]

very comfortable in , should have scored more goals but we are now in the next round. will be nice to finish top.As has been said Donald made it 8 on the pitch from the academy which really pleased me , mind you Suarez and de Zeeuw are still are best players .

[Cedric]

We're not qualified yet, but I think Anderlecht is (can I say that even if there's 2 games left? ). Well, Timisoara will have to win their 2 games and Ajax lose everything. It will be tough to miss that.

[Kowalczyk]

Jeezz, this was good...

Now we have to come out strong in the big test on Sunday!!

Uefa.com:

'Complete performance'
Emanuelson will be no doubt delighted to hear the assessment of Dinamo's former Croatian international Robert Kovač, who admitted the best team won on the night regardless of the red cards. "Congratulations to Ajax, they deserved to win," he said. "It was the most complete performance by an away team here."

[Kowalczyk]

Highlights!
