Video Bayern Munich 2 - 0 TSG Hoffenheim

0 nhận xét

Bayern Munich started 2010 as they finished 2009 to go top of the Bundesliga table for the first time since May 2008.
Martin Demichelis slid home the first against Hoffenheim in the 35th minute before Miroslav Klose wrapped up victory four minutes from time to give Louis van Gaal's men their fifth straight league win.

It lifted them a point clear of Bayer Leverkusen, who have a game in hand.

Hoffenheim had the first sight of goal in the sixth minute as Demba Ba stretched to reach Boris Vukcevic's cross from the left, but could not get any direction on his effort and it went over.

Bayern, though, were looking fluent in possession, only to be let down on a couple of occasions by a poor final ball.

Bastian Schweinsteiger's free-kick narrowly missed the far post as no Bayern player managed to get a telling touch on the ball.

At the other end, Vedad Ibisevic's shot was parried away by Hans-Jorg Butt and Franco Zuculini could not react quick enough to pounce on the loose ball.

Bayern went ahead in the 35th minute as Schweinsteiger's cross from the left skipped off the top of a defender's head and dropped to Demichelis, who slid in to guide his shot across Timo Hildebrand and into the far corner.

Sejad Salihovic headed into the side netting for Hoffenheim three minutes later before Bayern took control after the break.

Gomez fired over after a parry from Hildebrand, who then beat away a left-footed shot from Thomas Muller after the Bayern man cut in from the right.

Ba was denied by Butt in the 72nd minute on a rare Hoffenheim attack in the second half.

Gomez shot wide from Arjen Robben's cut-back as the hosts continued to threaten a second, and it duly arrived in the 86th minute as Klose diverted home a shot from Mark van Bommel.

Gomez fired against the post in the final minute of normal time, but Bayern were already home and dry.

Black Stars blown away by 10-man Elephants


Gervinho, Siaka Chico Tiene and Didier Drogba were on target as tournament favourites Ivory Coast secured their first victory of the African Nations Cup with a 3-1 win over Ghana in Cabinda.

Gervinho finished off a fluid counter-attacking move after 23 minutes to give Ivory Coast the lead, but they were reduced to 10 men after 55 minutes when Emmanuel Eboue was shown a straight red card for a reckless two-footed tackle.

Matthew Amoah struck a post as Ghana came close to an equaliser before Tiene netted a stunning left-footed free-kick after 66 minutes and Didier Drogba headed in a 90th-minute third.

Asamoah Gyan converted a penalty with the last kick of the game, but it was not enough to prevent the Elephants from progressing to the quarter-finals.

Ghana must beat Burkina Faso next Tuesday to join Ivory Coast in the last eight.

The Black Stars were playing in their first game of the contest after their scheduled opening fixture did not take place following Togo's withdrawal from the competition in the wake of last week's terrorist attack on the team bus.

And they looked lethargic throughout and were cut apart as Ivory Coast turned defence into attack to take the lead.

The Elephants successfully defended a corner and burst forward at pace.

Yaya Toure threaded the ball through to Salomon Kalou on the right and the Chelsea forward centred for Gervinho to tap in.

A fantastic effort from Kwadwo Asamoah almost brought Ghana level.

He received the ball with his back to goal 20 yards out, but turned and unleashed a fierce left-footed shot which appeared destined for the top corner until Barry Boubacar Copa palmed the ball clear.

Michael Essien, who began the match on the bench after recent hamstring struggle, was introduced at half-time and Ghana's chances increased when Eboue was dismissed for a senseless two-footed lunge on Agyemang Opoku, who was deep in his own half.

Ghana immediately went on the attack and Amoah pounced on a loose ball just inside the penalty area, striking a left-foot volley which hit the base of the post.

But Ivory Coast soon doubled their lead when Tiene hit a free-kick from wide on the right which curled into the top corner.

Drogba headed in a third at the back post after persistent play and a pin-point cross from substitute Abdulkader Keita, before a soft penalty was awarded in stoppage time and Gyan sent Boubacar Copa the wrong way.

Angola 2 - 0 Malawi : Hosts in pole position

0 nhận xét
Hosts Angola atoned for throwing away a four-goal lead against Mali in their opening game by beating Malawi 2-0 on Thursday to move top of Group A in the African Nations Cup.


Two quick goals early in the second half from strikers Flavio and Manucho settled the contest.Flavio scored his third of the tournament in the 48th minute while Manucho followed six minutes later with an opportunistic effort.Flavio scored with a trademark header at the end of a storming run and cross from left back Mabina.Manucho's strong physical presence proved vital as he stripped Malawi captain Peter Mponda of the ball on the edge of the Malawi penalty area and cracked home a powerful shot to make it 2-0.Angola, who conceded four late goals to draw 4-4 with Mali on Sunday, head the group by a point from Algeria and Malawi and look well placed to take first place and stay in the capital for next week's quarter-finals.The hosts, with a hard running approach, set out quickly to overwhelm their Malawian opponents, who enjoyed a surprise 3-0 win over Algeria in their first group game on Monday.But only Djalma and Manucho had chances in the first half, thwarted by a lack of accuracy and a save by Malawi goalkeeper Swadick Sanudi.A cheeky back heel almost saw Malawi go into the lead in the 41st minute but Victor Nyirenda's audacious effort was saved.Angola's success will be tempered by concern over injury to key players Gilberto and Flavio, who both had to leave the game.There were no late jitters this time as Angola comfortably held on their lead.Their next game is against Algeria in Luanda on Monday.
