I thought so as well. Lowered his shoulder right into Viduka's back. Really surprised it wasn't called.
Fulltime... finally Middlesbrough 0-4 Sevilla 0-1 : Luis Fabiano 26' 0-2 : Maresca 78' 0-3 : Maresca 84' 0-4 : Kanoute 89'
Overall, a deserved win for the Spanish side, but the denied penalty claim could very well have been the turning point as Boro looked good for an equalizer before the onslaught began. Disappointing way to end the season for Boro. But great memories provided with their run up to Eindhoven.
Hard luck Borough fans i was pulling for ya la's . The result did not deserve that and i thought there was a def . penalty claim. It's shame Viduka couldn't get that one in as you lot were putting on the pressure early 2nd half. congrats to getting to the final as you have done England proud. Cheers from Liverpool fan.
Tough luck Boro. I thought you had something going early in the second half. Definite penalty denied.
Lo everyone. Bit of a sad but kinda glitzy post this one, as I'm typing this in an internet cafe in LV (with New York, New York infront of me and MGM Grand behind me. ) Devasted by the result, I thought 4-0 was harsh on us, but overall I can't bemoan the Spanish side the win - they were better than us on the day and deserved the win. We were just poor and never got going... Good luck to Sevilla - I'm gutted, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Boro fans should rejoice at getting this far, for a club our size, and for one that almost went bust 20 years ago - its a mammoth achievement. Let's be positive about this...
Wonderful effort Boro. Exciting game to watch (For 78 minutes anyway) at the start of the second half the game could have changed. Blocked shot from Viduka and a penalty denied, either of these could have changed the tempo and the outcome. Great cup run to get there. Well done.
