Palermo v Inter 1-1 20 Mar 2010

Forgot to write about Palermo - Inter match I saw a while ago.

What catched my attencion was not Julio Cesar, who didn't have too much work to do in this match. What I found quite surprising was the moment when penalty for Inter was about to be scored. Palermo's goalkeeper Sirigu didn't look too self-confident. Have a look at 0:56 in the highlights.



I'm used to seeing quite the different picture. Ricardo, Quim, Dudek, Casillas... or Buffon despite the fact that defending penalties isn't his strong side. All those goalkeepers looks so confident when it comes to defending penalties. Sirigu made quite different impression.

Few photos of the match.





The green spot on Julio Cesar's head is a laser beam. Looks awkward but it was the only match picture with him except for the team photo.

At Sunday Benfica defended the title and won Calsberg Cup second time in the row!



A picspam of the match. Unfortunately, couldn't find photos of the goalkeepers. It was not their show this time...

Lopes and Martins. Lopes was given a yellow card for a bad foul on Quim. Lopes behaviour was pretty nasty to be honest.

Martins scores. The goalkeeper Nuno in the orange outfit can be visible in the background. His fatal mistake cost FC Porto a lost goal at the very beginning of the match.

This time Nuno Gomes spent the whole match on the bench.



As well as the goalkeeper Beto. Pity. I have a felling he would done better than Nuno.









That was not their day. Raul Meireles, Rolando and Bruno Alves.

FC Porto players warm up before the match.



There was some fuss during the match. Flares were thrown on the pitch and one damaged the net of the one of the goals. The second half was delayed because some spectators in FC Porto's section got mad and were throwing things on the pitch, including the seats, torn out from the bleachers. One landed on Quim's goal.



Fortunately most people came to enjoy the match and support their teams.



And favorite players.
