8 NOVEMBER 2000

HAMBURG			1-1			DEPORTIVO
Mahdavikia 10						Makaay 58

Mahdavikia scored via a wicked deflection. Hamburg were punished for failing
to take several chances in the first half when Makaay tapped in after Butt
twice saved from Cesar Sampaio.


PANATHINAIKOS			3-1			JUVENTUS
Sousa 6							Inzaghi 24
Basina 58 (Pen)
Warzycha 65

Not for the first time Paulo Sousa got one over on his former club, curling
an awesome free kick past Van der Sar. Inzaghi scored his typical poachers
goal when Kovacevic's shot took a deflection off the 'keeper.  Van der Sar
was given a second yellow card when Liberopoulos threw himself over his legs,
sweet justice given the number of times Inzaghi and Del Piero have pulled
the same trick. Basina sent Rampulla the wrong way, Warzycha then sent Juve
out with a shot inside the post from a superb Liberopoulos pass. Kovacevic
put the icing on the cake, earning himself a second yellow card for mouthing
off at the ref.

Assists : Karagounis, Liberopoulos (X2)


24 OCTOBER 2000

DEPORTIVO			1-0			PANATHINAIKOS
Pandiani 82

Fernando skipped Saric's challenge and picked out Pandiani who headed Depor
into Phase 2.

Assist : Fernando


JUVENTUS			1-3			HAMBURG
Kovacevic 56						Prager 24
							Yeboah 48
							Panadic 62

Ferrara should have headed Juve into the lead. Hamburg were lucky not to
conceded a penalty when Hoogma actually fouled Inzaghi in the box. Van Der
Sar tipped Tofting's powerful shot onto the post, Babarez blew an open goal.
Tofting stung Van der Sar's palms again with another wrist snapping strike
but this time Hamburg put away the rebound, Prager heading high into the
net. Zidane was sent off for head butting Kientz in retaliation for a love tap
on the backside. UEFA were very lenient with Zidane following his last
suspension for an equally shameful piece of thuggery this time he should be
hit hard. Davids was given a second yellow for hacking Tofting. Yeboah lost
his balance when through on goal, Iuliano made a mess of the clearance,
Yeboah sent him on his arse with a deft dummy and tapped into an empty net,
great goal! Kovacevic got a slight touch on Del Piero's free kick. Van der
Sar punched out Mahdavikia's cross, for some reason Paramatti put the ball
back into the box and Panadic headed into the net.

Hamburg are at home to Deportivo who have already qualified. Juve face a
nightmare away trip to Panathinaikos who are also in with a chance of getting
second place.

Assist : Del Piero
Red Cards : Zidane 28 (Juventus), Davids 33 (Juventus)


18 OCTOBER 2000

DEPORTIVO			1-1			JUVENTUS
Victor 12							Inzaghi 10

Molina tipped Iuliano's brilliantly struck volley onto the crossbar but
Inzaghi was on hand to whack in the rebound. Van Der Sar attempted to clear
a cross, missed, Turu Flores fired the ball back across goal and Victor
tapped in.

Assist : Turu Flores


PANATHINAIKOS			0-0			HAMBURG

Liberopoulos wasted the best chance of the match when clean through on goal.


26 SEPTEMBER 2000

							Nasiopoulos 36

Nasiopoulos ran unchallenged from the left flank, cut inside the box, committed
Butt and tapped into an empty net.

Assist : Liberopoulos


JUVENTUS			0-0			DEPORTIVO

Deportivo had the best of this tie. Ferrara made a brilliant headed clearance
off the line and Van der Sar made an awesome save from Tudor's nightmare
clearance. Zidane walked for a stupid flying kick at Emerson. O'Neill should
get his chance to impress during Zidane's ban.

Red Card : Zidane 67


19 SEPTEMBER 2000

DEPORTIVO			2-1			HAMBURG
Pandiani 44						Barbarez 53

Pandiani turned in the loose ball. Naybet tried to shepard a ball out for a
goal-kick, Mahdavikia nipped in and lofted a cross into the box for Barbarez
to head in the equaliser. Donato back heeled Mauro Silva's pass to Scaloni
who blasted a low shot past Butt.

HAMBURG			4-4			JUVENTUS
Yeboah 17						Tudor 6
Mahdavikia 65						Inzaghi 36, 52, 
Butt 72 (Pen)						88 (Pen)
Kovac 82

Tudor headed in Juve's first when the Germans made a slack clearance from a
corner. The Juve defence ball watched as old man Yeboah headed in Cardoso's 
free kick. Inzaghi got Juve back in front from a, shock horror, Zidane assist!
Ferrara stuck a ball over the top for Inzaghi, he controlled the ball on his chest,
took another touch before blasting past Butt, brilliant strike. Ketelaer whipped in
a cross, Van der Sar punched it straight to Tudor, he screwed up and Mahdavikia
scrambled the ball over the line. Ferrara then fouled Mahdavikia in the box and
Butt beat fellow 'keeper Van der Sar with ease. More tragic defended from a set
piece gave Hamburg the lead, Kovac directing Mahdavikia's cross past Van der
Sar but Barbarez threw away the points by fouling Inzaghi in the box, yes it was
a foul, and he converted to complete his hat-trick. Juve concede four goals for the
second consecutive match in European competition.

Assists : Cardoso, Zidane, Ferrara, Mahdavikia (x2), Inzaghi

overhead kick back into the box and Naybet (!) smacked in the equaliser.
