SLB vs Juve (Europa Cup)

[dangerousdave]

Atmosphere in Lisbon is picking up.

Benfica have had a huge week. Beating Porto 3-1 with 10 men to move on to the Portuguese Cup final AND securing the Championship... They have nothing left to lose (or win) and will throw everything at Juve. My guess is 2-1 but would love to see Juve miss out on the away goal.

2-1 was spot on.

Shame we don't have a dedicated Europa League thread. The quality of the teams and the matches has been quite good this year.

Seville also win their fist leg.

Benfica hold out for 0-0 and Sevilla score in the 94th minute for 3-3 aggregate and away goals progression Sevilla vs Benfica should be a good final.

Embarrassing antics by Benfica in the last 10 minutes though. Mark Clattenberg is a woeful official too.

Lichsteiner not controlling the cross while escaping the defence was a huge moment. He really should have done better.

Amazing Sevilla have made it given they were the beneficiaries of some Spanish clubs failing FFP and being disqualified from Europe (they're small clubs so UEFA had the balls to kick them out).

Incredible 12 months from Seville considering the fire sale they had.

Good stuff lads.

What happened? Did they just pass the ball around their back 4 for 10 minutes?

Really entertaining final for a 0-all. Now down to the lottery.

SBS dropped out for the majority of the second half. (it did for me and a few my mates on the southside of Brisbane anyway.) So ended up sticking with the U21s final.

Is it worth watching the replay?

Shoot Out went 4-2 to Seville FC.

Great work boys

The curse continues.

Oscar Cardozo's penalty was woeful, he wanted nothing to do with it.

The curse continues.

8 straight. They're like the NSW of European finals :lol:
