Sorry if this has been talked about in a different thread, I
couldn't see any other thread discussing it.
Who really got the second goal? Even after watching the tv replay it's hard to tell if it came off George or Smeltz. I know Smeltz got credited with it but I'm not convinced. Does anyone with better eye sight than me have an opinion?
It doesn't really matter, as a goal is a goal, I'm just curious as to what others think...

Bajic punched the ball into Smeltz's head and it went in. Goal for Smeltz.

yup, what he said.. altho i would like to think most of the credit
goes to George, he shielded the keeper an practically took him out
of the play, smeltz's positioning was perfect to be there to take
the deflection in

LAST TOUCH ON THE BALL.

Actually I was in Auckland too so I could see replays and still wasn't sure... I had drunk lots of beer at that stage, which may explain it.

at the match I thought it was George who scored (confirmed by the
way he ran to the bench afterwards), but the Sky replay this a.m.
shows it was Smeltz.

Saw a slow-mo replay tonight and it almost looked like Smelty
scored it with his face.

Yep definately wasn't planned by Smeltz but he'll take it. I think
Bajic should claim the goal really :P
It was funny when Felipe scored - the TV said it was Smeltz's goal and he was no where near it!!
