Santos took a little trip to Columbia to battle Once Caldas. Santos came away with a huge 1-0 win in the first leg of quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores.

Alan Patrick ripped the twines for Peixe in the 42^nd minute.

In the other Copa quarterfinals match up saw Penarol defeated Universidad Catolica 2-0 in Montevideo, Uruguay.

Penarol now has to go Catolica’s house in Santiago, Chile next week.

UOL wrote this about the Santos win-A ausência de Paulo Henrique Ganso não foi sentida pelo Santos graças ao bom desempenho de Alan Patrick. O substituto do lesionado camisa 10 garantiu a vitória do Santos contra o Once Caldas, na noite desta quarta-feira, em pleno estádio Palogrande, em Manizales, na Colômbia, na partida de ida pelas quartas de final da Libertadores, ao marcar o gol do triunfo por 1 a 0.
O gol foi marcado aos 42 minutos do primeiro tempo após Alan Patrick receber belo passe de Neymar e finalizar com calma e categoria, fazendo lembrar Ganso.
“Foi uma boa finalização do Alan. Acho que ele pode me dar 30% do gol”, disse

Neymar, em entrevista ao Sportv.

UOL said this about the Uruguayan sides win at their house in Montevideo- O Peñarol contou mais uma vez com o apoio de sua fanática torcida na noite desta quarta-feira para conquistar uma vitória importante na Copa Libertadores. Pelo jogo de ida das quartas de final diante da Universidad Católica, o time uruguaio recebeu a equipe chilena no Estádio Centenário, em Montevidéu. Empurrado pelo bom público, o algoz do Internacional venceu por 2 a 0.Em uma partida movimentada, mas sem grandes chances de gol, o Peñarol aproveitou as falhas do goleiro Garcés. A primeira veio aos 36 minutos do primeiro tempo, quando Urretaviscaya, grande destaque do time urugaio no jogo, iniciou a jogada pela esquerda. Mesmo marcado por dois adversários, ele gingou e encontrou espaço para o cruzamento. Garcés foi tentar encaixar, soltou a bola e Oliveira não desperdiçou, empurrando para o gol.

 Brasileiros sides were almost shut out of the quarterfinals.  Defending chump, I mean champ Internacional, Gremio, Fluminense, and Cruzeiro stunk the joint out when they blew sizeable first leg leads.

Way to go garoto snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Flamenguista for life.

This is it from The De Futebol Zone.

Flamengo started out their match against Universidad Catolica with a dud. Mengao player Williams was given the heave-hoe in the second minute of the match. I guess Williams decided he didn’t like Martinez’s face so Williams gave it a little rearranging.

This was a no-no.

Bamo just like that we are one man down.

Up stepped Leo Moura who gave Rubro-Negro the lift we needed. He stopped. He popped and nailed the winner in the 10^th minute to give us 1-0 lead.

Not to be out done in stupidity Catolica returned the red card favor in the 42^nd minute. Diaz fired a wicked shot on goal. Clank the ball bounds off the cross bar. His mate Mirosevic didn’t like it so he decided to take out his frustration on Mengao player Toro.

I guess Mirosevic thought he was in the WWF so he stomped on his gut. He was given the you are outta here by the ref in the 42^nd minute.

Now we are all even Steven at ten men.

Flamengo made em pay in the 58^th minute. Leo Moura fed a perfect ball to Adriano. The Emperor rattled the cages to give us the 2-0 lead.

Vagner Love had a chance to make 3-0 but he wore the choke collar when he missed the gimmie PK late in the 82^nd minute.

A chance do terceiro gol saiu após passe de Adriano para Love. O Artilheiro do Amor foi puxado na área e, após consultar o bandeirinha, Amarilla marcou pênalti. Porém, o atacante cobrou mal, por cima do travessão. 

This win snapped our winless schnid of opening round matches in the Copa at nine.  This was our first win on opening day since 1984.

A huge shout out to the guys and way to go garoto.

UOL www.uol.com.br wrote about it this way: O primeiro tempo não foi dos melhores, mas, com uma grande atuação de Léo Moura e com considerável melhora no segundo tempo, o Flamengo não teve grandes dificuldades para vencer o Universidad Católica por 2 a 0, nesta quarta-feira, no Maracanã, na estreia do time na Copa Libertadores da América. Com o resultado, o time brasileiro chegou aos três pontos no Grupo 8 da competição. Léo Moura e Adriano marcaram para o time da casa. Foi o segundo triunfo do clube carioca em estreias na competição. A primeira foi em 1984 quando bateu o Santos.

Yes, a win is a win but Adriano and the guys were just not quite all there. There were many holes in the Flamengo “D”. Globo Esporte wrote it this way: Para dificultar ainda mais as ações ofensivas do time brasileiro, Adriano não estava em noite inspirada. Mal posicionado, foi presa fácil para a marcação adversária. Aos 34, Fuentes subiu sozinho após cobrança de escanteio e cabeceou com muito perigo.

The Chilean side had their chances but they missed it by that much. O gol dos chilenos ficou ainda mais perto quando Díaz bateu falta no travessão , aos 42 minutos. Só que, na volta, Mirosevic perdeu a cabeça e pisou na barriga de Toró. O árbitro o expulsou e igualou as equipes com dez em campo.

I am happy with the win but jeez, guys we really have to improve immensely if we are going to make it out of the Group stage.

Corinthians and Cruzeiro had hot dates in the Copa as well.

Corinthians took care of business by doubling up on Racing-Uruguay 2-1.

Cruzeiro clobbered Colo-Colo 4-1.   

Kleber hit the daily double for Raposa.

Chelsea and Inter battled it out in the first round of the knockout stage of the Champions League. Ex-Blues boss Jose Mourinho is the Inter headman. Ex AC Milan headman Carlo Ancelotti is Chelsea’s main man.

Let’s talk about this barnburner of a match. Inter drew first blood in the 3^rd minute. Alberto Diego Milito did a little side step action to the left. This slick move set up this strike that beat keeper Petr Cech to the short post left.

John Terry played horrible “D” on the play.

Chelsea discovered the answer in the 51^st minute. Salomon Kalou was just outside the top of the box. He fired a weak shot that bounced past keepers Julio Cesar’s outstretched left paw. This should have been an easy stop. But no, Cesar flat out blew it.

The match is knotted at one all.

Inter began to apply the pressure on the Blues “D”.

Esteban Cambiasso fired a wicked shot but Didier Drogba blocked it. Rebound. Shot. Score Cambiasso in the 55^th minute.

Inter is up 2-1.

Oh yes, we have a fight on our hands in Internazionale’s house.

Neither side is playing it safe. Chelsea and Inter are playing fast break, racehorse style futebol. I love it.

We have non-stop end-to-end action.

Both sides have had some great scoring opportunities but neither the Blues nor Inter have yet to pull the trigger.

It is all done. Inter defeated Chelsea 2-1.

The Blues picked up the all-important away goal.

Advantage Inter as we head back to Stamford Bridge for the second part of the story. The return match should be another nail bitter.

Lots of Copa Libertadores action on Wednesday.

Flamengo has a hot date with Universidad Catolica at Maracana. The Chilean side is currently in 11^th place in the Chilean Apertura. Catolica has seven points. They are 2-1-3.

Mengao needs to flat out take it to Catolica.

Adriano and Love need to rip the twines.

Bruno will be out with a pulled adductor muscle in his right thigh. Youngster Marcelo Lomba will in goal. I sure hope this doesn’t kill us. This is the grand daddy of em all in South America-The Copa Libertadores.

Rubro-Negro opens the Copa at home then we are on the road for the next two matches.

Mengao travels to Chile to battle Universidad de Chile and Caracas, Venezuela.

Mengao has not tasted victory in first round play of Copa since 1984.

Flamengo needs to stop this schnid now.

Mengao has six draws and two losses in their previous eight Copa openers.

Not good garoto.

Flamenguistas needs a win.

In fifth round FA Cup replay action, Tottenham took it to Bolton 4-0. Super Russian Roman Pavlyuchenko hit for the daily double in the 23^rd and 87^th minute. The Wanderers hit the daily double own goal in the 35^th and 47^th minute.

Please say it ain’t so Joe.

It is. 

Spurs are on to the next round of the FA cup.

Aston Villa beat Crystal Palace 3-1 to advance to the next round of the FA Cup.

Reading defeated West Brom 3-2.

Reading’s Brian Howard tied this baby up at two all in 90^th minute to send this guy into thirty minutes of extra time.

Gylfi Sigurdsson hit the match winner in the 95^th minute to send West Brom packing.

Stoke City needed the full 120 minutes to stifle City 3-1. This loss sure puts a damper Man City’s season.

Ryan Shawcross scored in the 95^th minute.

Tuncay Sanli fired home the winner in the 99^th minute to put this sucker out of reach.

City is sent packing as well.

Oh what a crazy day in the futebol world.
