Tight first half Kashima Antler created little. Kashima Yokohama F･Marinos looked the better team.

Not seen Independient play that well for a long time. Outplayed Lanus from start to finish and 2nd half goals from Abaldo and Avalos were richely deserved.

Abaldo nice finish and Independiente deserved lead

All Independient that half, Lanus constantly on the back foot, but Losada inever really had a save to make

2-1. Brilliant from Volendam. They worked so hard and deserved the win. Organised, defended well and scored two great goals.

That is one hell of a stike. Volendam realy hope they pull this off

Excellent first half from volendam. Need just as good a 2nd half if they are to hold PSV at bay. Saibari rested big loss for PSV.

2-0 Al Ettifaq improved in the 2nd half but the game was done at half time. Al Hilal got it done early.

Al Ettifaq game plan broken after 12 mins and it has been coming

Perfect Friday

Perfect Friday

Argentinos Juniors deserved the win. Said after the disaster which was 2025 Gallardo should not have been given a new contract. Five games into the Apertura and not seen anything so far to make me think differentl

Nice finish from Lopez and ideserved HT lead for Argentinos. over River. Gallardo red as hew acts sarcastically, and Acuna yet again showing he is a player whose sell by date has well and truly gone.

Nice finish from Lopez and it looked like it was coming for Argentinos

4-2. Graham goal at the death deflated Ipswich. Dominated extra time. Robert with the killer goal and a freak own goal. Graham came good late on and in extra time. Pita was food throughout

3-2 Graham sets up Roberts

2-2 Graham great goal get us out of jail at the death. do we deserve it, proabably not. Extra time.

Great start agone in a matter of seconds 1-1

Wednesday smile

Lucas Moura pen has Sao Paulo in front. Luciano really should have scored in the last min of the half to make it 2.

Motherwell really do play nice football. Deserved the point

Wednesday smile

Big game this for ulsan. 3 points needed.

Some goal that from Muto but Seoul sorry you have to close him down

JDT need to get something here

Thats 90 mins of life I cant get back. Shabab Al Ahli and Al Hilal decided to play a game were virtually nothing happened.

Al Duhail vs Sharjah big game this. winner will almost certainly be through to the knockout stage

Caicedo hoal wins it. San Lorenzo never looked like scoring after going behind

Always love the Hurican v San Lorennzo classic

5- 1 Bayern but tge harsh award of a pen, not one for me, and thd red for Akpoguma had a clear bearing on the result

Really harsh ending to the half for Hoffenheim

1 1 Hoffenheim have been so good sincevthe red

This is the big test for Hoffenheim

1-1 Fitz Jim last min header got Ajax out of jail. Godts stand out always does. AZ the better team second half. Was hoping Ichihara would hve got on for his debut late on as it was only 1-0. Ichihara to AZ, Ryan to Bournemouth I continue to weep!

Godts as always standing out but that AZ v Ajax first half was dull.

0 2 ipressive this so far from Tigrr

Not the best start from River

The way every week should start

Matchday pic

0-0. Defences on top although think we were slightly the better team. Some nice flashes from Olayiwola. Pickford was the standout

If you having trouble sith the under 21s link seems not tobe working yoyu can sign up to arsenal TV and watch

There has been some speculation about how teams will approach this half season competiton. If V-Varen Nagasaki vs Sanfrecce Hiroshima is anything to go by it ewill be a treat. Great game. 1-3 to Sanfrecce

Nice goal from Shuto. Been coming Sanfrecce have been getting on top
