    Had to step away from the feed. Was it Donovan's loss of possession that led to the counter attack goal?

    al-Wehda with some pressure...first a free kick, now a corner...

    ...ball deflected out to the top of the box on the corner. al Wehda player hits a laser of a half-volley that goes just over the bar.

    Two separate incidents...actually it was a pass by maybe Lell that set up the counter.

    Free kick for FCB results in a header off of the cross bar. Didn't see who headed it. Now in 60'.

    Wasn't donovan...nevermind...but it was his defender who headed it off the bar.

    Donovan hit the bar. It's very clear in the replay.

    It was donovan's defender...almost an own goal. At least that's what I saw on the replay.

    FCB tries to counter to Donovan...ball is behind him and is tackled out for a corner. That's one of the first times his team has looked for him this half (that I've seen).

    Additionally, the commentators never mentioned donovan's name, but they did mention the defender's name on the replay.

    A better ball there and Lando is free behind. His teammates need to trust his speed.

    Donovan with an inadvertant handball...wins a corner...

    ...short corner - ball comes back to LD who plays a cross that is cleared.

    LD muffs a shot. A tough bouncing ball though.

    Klose in the box lays off to Donovan who either tried to rip a volley and wanked it really bad or who tried to fake the rip and chip the keeper but just hit it a little soft...either way, Klose claps for him.

    ooh...a through ball there sets up Donovan with a 1 v. 1 with the 'keeper...FCB turns it over instead. 67'.

    BM look like they want to 'Arsenal' (ie walk) the ball into the back of the net at times.

    Lahm fouls RM about 40 yds out for a free kick. 69'.

    FCB has had trouble defending the flanks...I'm not sure who the players, but the guy with the afro and the goalscorer for al-Wehda aren't bad.

    Wow - Lahm plays a ball off of a counter back to his 'keeper, who bangs it off of an al-Wehda player. Player was offside.

    Another nice piece of skill by #26 to set up the counter.
