    Benfica isn't really doing anything, while FCK is committing to an all out attack, as indeed they must. Benfica is mostly content to just waste time dribbling around in midfield and occasionally sending up long balls, but they aren't supporting the attacks very strongly and are mostly sitting back.

    Benfica take long range shot off target.

    Man this is a great game.

    another FCK freekick coming about 30 yards out.

    Hutchison should have scored it!

    You're going to be disappointed.

    Or the two teams are pretty slow.

    Freekick in a dangerous spot @ the 36'

    RIGHT ON THE KEEPER! But deflected up and out, just past the foot of the onrushing FCK! So close!

    Clumsy clear by a FCK defender leads to a Benfica shot on goal in the 38', but it tamely rolls to the keeper.

    yes, he was left alone free in front, and couldn't get a touch on it to redirect it from just a few yards out.

    yes, but i only watched di maria 2/3 games ever.

    couldnt properly judge.

    but right onw di maria is lightyears ahead in terms of intelligence, positioning..and when adu failed all his dribbles vs fck alst game, di maria is suceeding and making superb passes.

    di maria almsot scored again, damn the danish absterds are massive.

    we need more midfield possesion, petit is a destroyer, and rui costa is 35.

    38th: Copenhagen defenders fail to clear in their own box. Benfica shot deflects off of another Benfica player, saving Copenhagen blushes.

    38' Di Maria has a shot on goal right at the keeper.

    We have no one else tyo put on, so adu it is as bergessio simply sucks.

    Adu will probably do alot better then last time, as hes more settled now and knows what to expect.

    Cardozo getting frustrated, gomes is a no show yet again.

    And we are so lucky, how did they miss that.

    Very close chance for FCK! A little give in go in the corner leads to a short cross from the corner of hte box. Header goes just wide of the goal!

    41st: Copenhagen should have scored! Beautiful cross with an open header just outside the 6yd box. Bad miss wide off the head.

    Well you do have to consider that Adu played in a very different game than this one. Copehagen bunkered for most of the match during the first leg, and Adu always struggles a lot when he doesn't have space to work with. On the other hand, Copenhagen is attacking all out today and leaving plenty of space for Di Maria. If Adu makes an appearance today and looks just as incompetent, I'll concede that he isn't as ready as Di Maria yet.

    with an open game like this, i would love to see both Adu and Coentrao in the second half..with speed and quick feet, you're going to keep the opposing defense's honest and should neutralize their attack
