Phase 2
UEFA Cup


30 OCTOBER 2001

GALATASARAY			2-0			PSV
Sergen 26
Arif 50

Sergen volleyed Karan's clever flick on past Lodewijks. Sas played a
one-two with Sergen, ran into the box and resisted attempts to go down
after Ooijer foolishly tried to elbow him, his centre was turned in at
the far post by Arif.

Assists : Karan, Sas


NANTES				1-0			LAZIO
Andre 72

Andre sent Lazio out of Europe and Nantes into Phase 2 with a superb
looping header.

Assist :  Laspalles


24 OCTOBER 2001

LAZIO				1-0			GALATASARAY
Stankovic 76

Stankovic won the match and kept Lazio's hopes of a Phase 2 place alive with
an excellent individual goal. He picked up the ball on the half way line, ran
50yds and smashed it past Mondragon. Judging on previous seasons Stankovic
will score ONE more great goal this season and do absolutely nothing for the
remainder of it.


PSV				0-0			NANTES

Rubbish.


16 OCTOBER 2001

GALATASARAY			0-0			NANTES

Yawn.


LAZIO				2-1			PSV
Fiore 39							Kezman 56
Lopez 55 (Pen)

Fiore let Mendieta's chipped cross bounced twice before cracked a half
volley into the bottom corner from a tight angle. Lopez smashed home
a penalty won by guess who? Yep Inzaghi Jr. Kezman tapped in from
close range a minute later.

Assists : Mendieta, Inzaghi, Heintze


26 SEPTEMBER 2001

NANTES				0-1			GALATASARAY
							Sergen 79
		

Nantes wasted about 10 chances to clear the ball from a cross and Sergen
eventually punished them.


PSV				1-0			LAZIO
Hoflund 40

Hoflund scored after the Lazio defence failed to clear a corner. In particular
Couto was guilty of a half arsed challenge. Lazio (and Portugal) should have
realised his ban was a blessing in disguise.


19 SEPTEMBER 2001

LAZIO				1-3			NANTES
Couto 7							Fabbri 3
							Armaud 63
							Ziani 86

Two headed goals in the opening minutes. Fabbri punished Lazio for taking
three hours to clear a corner. Couto, who shouldn't have been playing (one
rule for Davids & Couto another for Maradona) from Fiore's free kick. Defender
Armaud scored the goal of the tournament so far. He ran 50yds, cut inside
Favalli and placed the ball into the top corner. Armaud was also involved in
the third. His pass found Ziani who scored at the second attempt. 1-3, bye
bye Dino Zoff.

"We have decided to hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss what has happened
and try to explain the situation we are in and then we will decide. We want
to discuss things in a calm manner." - Sergio Cragnotti

"I would like to thank the fans who cheered and supported me. We started
really badly. Things got better when it went 1-1 but the players were just not
motivated and it got worse and worse. I was particularly disappointed with
Hernan Crespo and Claudio Lopez." - Dino Zoff

Assists : Armaud, Fiore


PSV				3-1			GALATASARAY
Bruggink 38						Umit 68
Faber 53
Kezman 94

Bruggink took out his marker with a great dummy, spun round onto Kezman's pass
and lifted the ball over the 'keeper. Faber headed Van Bommel's free kick past
Mondragon. Umit's shot deflected in off Faber. Kezman scored a tap in on the
counter attack.

Assists : Kezman, Van Bommel, Lucius


11 SEPTEMBER 2001

GALATASARAY			1-0			LAZIO
Umit 79

Umit scored the only goal following patient build-up from a counter attack.

Assist : Yalcin


NANTES				4-1			PSV
Andre 5							John de Jong 90
Quint 10 (Pen)
Dalmat 44
Vahirua 75

Andre ran between two defenders onto Armaud's diagonal ball and shot weakly
at Waterreus who somehow managed to let the ball slip through his fingers.
Quint made it 2-0 from the spot following a foul on Armaud. Wilfred Dalmat
skipped past Nikiforov's pathetic challenge, flew past Waterreus and tapped
into an empty net. Vahirua volleyed Ziani's cross past poor Waterreus who 
was devoid of any protection all night from his so called defence. The
usually awesome Italian TV managed to miss the PSV goal. Apparently it was
stunning 25yd drive.

Assists : Armaud (x2), Ziani (x2), Fabbri
