Mazembe is down to 10 men, the gk hands ball way out the box to prevent a clear 2vGK run away for a goal chance by Auckland.
AkCity FC At The FIFA World Club Cup
Yesssssssss, Haynes scores after beating the offside and reserve GK with the through ball.
The through balls make Mazembe look very weak at the defence.

SWEET. how are we looking generally? can't get a feed to work and as i am at work i probably shouldn't be watching TV anyway, so i am just following on FIFA.com
Yip, Hayne did well to control that and score it. Koprevcic was offside but wasn't involved.
Interestingly when we kicked off we just booted it up the wing and IT ACTUALLY REACHED A PLAYER! That's the only time I've ever seen it happen. It fails in the A-League all the time.

the FIFA commentary makes it seem as though they were on top of us before the red card, is that the case?
what about now?
another goal before the break would be handy!
They had 70% possession but they didn't seem to be dominating at all.
how come Spoonley isn't playing?
We are playing well, loving it so far.
HT 0-1 to Auckland City.
Yeah so much possession but wild long shots that miss the goal. Not one on target. Mazembe best to try for the wing cross because they aren't getting nothing through the middle. The other option for the africans is to sit back a tad more to reduce their defence depth (ie the defence line to GK is smaller so there is better defence cohension) and go for the counterattack as it is their strength. I think we will see that type of play in the second half by Mazembe. Their use of possession at close quarters is speculative skill play but no real penetration.
If Mazembe does not use the above tactics then Auckland will a couple of more goals if they dont watch it.AllWhitebelievr2009-12-17 03:03:43

Grant Young is on for the second half. Koprivic is off. Koprivic is a bit sore from the collision but is ok.
Mpitu from Mazembe takes a speculative shot at kick off, missed by metres.
i'm at work, none of the links are working, and lunch time is over.....FIFA has caught up now.
as an aside, it is snowing like buggery outside
double sub at the half! i guess fatigue really is a factor then.
Mazembe messing around the penalty box trying to walk the ball in again, Pritchitt is able to man up to his tricks.
Kanbangu had a 3v3 in the box and skys the ball over and wide. Hogg placed him on pressure and he slips the shot.

Another Mazembe missed with an aerial through ball behind the defender, no control.
Haynes 1v1 from half way, three touchs and shot parried by GK. a half shot/clip that the GK parried above himself and then a Mazembe over the bar in counterattack.
Mazembe levels with a long shot. 1-1 a screamer on the 60"AllWhitebelievr2009-12-17 03:26:06
Mazembe GK is down with a injury collision with Grant Young.
There is no fourth GK after this guy. He's up now.AllWhitebelievr2009-12-17 03:28:26
Great save by Gotthard.AllWhitebelievr2009-12-17 03:55:56
Mazembe makes a great team goal. A back heel and a top finish at the top right across the GK. 2-1 Mazembe. Vicelich had a handball not seen by ref in the box in the previous movement.AllWhitebelievr2009-12-17 03:36:16
any way back from here? can we make our 1 man advantage count?
HAyne scores...2-2
2-2 Haynes shot on the 18 yards.AllWhitebelievr2009-12-17 03:37:37
WOOOOOOOO. come on City, make the numbers count.

Yup. Plenty of end to end stuff despite Mazembe possession and long shots at times.
oh oh free kick given 25 yards out

Defended.
Might get to penalties, the commentator saying there is no extra time, straight to penalties because of making TV time for the next match on the same ground.
4 added minutes.

I was just about to ask about that. They seem to be attacking us a bit at the moment, so maybe we have more chance with penalties?
and that just sums up this tournament really...
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
