    Could've been a penalty there...FCB RB goes for ball from behind inside the box but misses the ball...

    FCB gives up a free kick just outside of the box...straight at the 'keeper. 44'.

    42' Toni flubs another perfect cross by Oddo. Oddo has had some great crosses this half and I have to say Toni looks rusty. He might score still but he has had about 7 chances so far.

    The player subbed out is not part of Al-Wehda now (Hatem Khaimi, #9). He is a former player playing in a tribute match. The sub was to get an ovation from the crowd which would have been lost if it was a halftime sub.


    In fact, all of Al-Wehda's starting midfield is not currently on the team, with 3 former Al-Wehda players and an Egyptian guest player (Mohamed Aboutrika).

    Who is their No. 9, anyone know? Is it his farewell match or something?

    edit: Never mind. I just read Giffenbone's post. Thanks for the info.

    Makes sense...when I saw the sub being made, it didn't, but it does now.

    The half comes after possibly the longest two minutes of stoppage time EVER!

    HT 2-0 FCB. Decent half for der Mannschaft. I thought Oddo and Ribery were the best FCB players on the field. Toni looked rusty although he got himself into position to score a bunch of times. Klose was invisible and Altintop was all over the pitch, but he kept making some bad decisions (with his passes) and he had a horrific attempt on goal. Lucio was the worst on the pitch by far for me. He just seemed like he did not want to be out there and there were about three chances for AW the could have been his fault.

    Bayern have to get these moments of shambolic defending out of their system by the time they get back to the BL.

    Judging by the leadup to the game, it should be a nice lengthy halftime, with several jet flyovers, a parachute landing, a rock concert and some fireworks.

    I wonder if they're going to do starting line-ups and gifts for the second half...

    Goal al-Wehda...nice switch on the counter.

    Goal scorer splits the help, rounds another defender, then slots it by the 'keeper. Nice individual effort.

    2-1 54'.
