In the group G of UEFA Champions League Benfica beat Spartak Moskva.2:0 was the score. At the second half on of the player of Benfica was replaced by Oscar Cardozo. He scored both the goal for the Benfica. This the first win for the Benfica in the last four attempts.
Oscar Cardozo was the hero of that match. He got opportunity at the second half and he made the most of it by scoring two consecutive goals for the Benfica. Within the first ten minutes of the second half he broke the barrier .He played the match with his 100% effort.
For the entire game both teams had played well. But Benfica’s team spirit was something special that day. Both the teams failed to score at the first half of the match. In the first half Spartak Moskva missed some genuine goal scoring opportunities. K.Kombarov from Spartak Moskva was penalized red card during the game. So playing with a man short in a team was really disadvantageous for the team.
The Coach of Benfica, Jorge Jesus said in the press conference at the end of the match that they tried to utilize the ball better after giving a lead of 2-0. As soon as one of the opponent players got red card. It should have become very easy for them and they should have scored many goals.
The loosing coach Unai Emery was very disappointed. He said that the Benfica players were superior in every department. The Spartak Moskva players failed to take their chances. The opponent team created more opportunities and utilized most of them, which resulted in a well deserved victory.
Both the team tried to play their best. The main difference between these two teams is their game plan. The Benfica played more rapidly than the Spartak Moksva. After the entrance of Oscar Cardozo the whole scenario changed completely. After that it was too difficult for the Spartak Moskva to fight back.
Before this match the performance of the Benfica was not at all good in this European League. They lost four matches in a trot. Benfica was almost out of this League but still this victory will help the team for future improvement and for upcoming leagues.
The next match for Bencia will be against Celtic on 20thNovember.On the same day the Spartak Moskva will be having a match against the Barcelona team.
Are the replacement officials good enough to operate in the NFL?
by Kurtis under Sport News
The commissioner of the NFL Football league is in the news these days. He is thinking on certain long term prospects to improve the standard of games and the referees in the NFL. He feels that replacement referees can do a good job at the NFL major league games.
He thinks that the replacement officials are as capable of making calls in a match as the regular referees. The regular referees are not permanent either. They are all part timers as they have other jobs respectively.
The NFL is to start from the 5th of September and the issue regarding the referees and officials has not yet been sorted out. The league officials and the referee’s association are yet to reach an agreement.
Roger Goodell feels that whatever decision is taken has to be taken with a thought for the future. He was heard saying at the time square “It’s a long term issue.” A decision needs to be taken fast as the officials need at least a week’s time to prepare for the matches and there is hardly any time left.
Sunday the 9th of September is full of games and there is no officials yet ready for the league. Goodell said “These officials have been trained and they have done a fantastic job in the pre season games.”
It’s all about the performance that these officials put up on the field. If they make wrong calls then the fans and the media will definitely catch the mistakes and the right call will ultimately be made. There are other systems installed like the instant replays and cameras to make the right calls.
“It’s all about the correct calls and that is exactly what the fans, players and the coaches want from the officials.” Goodell said. The work and performance of these replacement officials have been closely watched by the fans and the media before. There seems to be hardly any flaws in that case.
There are times when they have made wrong calls. It has happened before as well when the regular referees have taken wrong calls and that have created a lot of rumors. Goodell feels that humans will make mistakes.
Nobody is perfect and it is not always possible to make the correct calls. The NFL league has received many calls in the past from disappointed fans for certain wrong calls taken by the referees.
