Well that was an excellent game !! End to end for the 2nd half and a bit competitive with MON sent off for a row about a foul on Ash Young.

We went 1-0 down in the first half when we got hardly out of the blocks but a goal from Albrighton at the end of the second half, a carew goal and a very good Young goal from an excellent Albrighton cross sealed the win and qualification for the semi final against Porto.

The major concern was the injury to Petrov after a nothing chalenge which according to the OS is a dislocated shoulder and I would guess at last 6 weeks on the sideline. NRC however when he went into the centre was really good and the injury to Petrov must mean NRC will stay now but does leave us with a serious headache in the centre of midfield.

21:21 – final whistle blows and we are through to the semi’s to play Porto

21:18 – fantastic chasing by Albrighton, 2 mins left

21:13 – Chris Herd on for Sidwell

21:10 – Dislocated shoulder for Petrov – shit

21:07 – booking for Cuellar

21:04 – Weimann on for Young and first touch a sharp turn and shot, narrowly wide

21:00 – Elbow put into albrightons face because he is causing them all sorts of problems

21:00 – good catch by little brad

20:56 – excellent run by Reo down the left

20:53 – good save by Guzan from a corner, Lowry on for Carew

20:49 – GOAAALLLL – cool finish by Young after a great Albrighton cross, we are currently through

20:47 – great run by young, decent cross but too close to keeper, Osbourne on for Heskey

20:44 – developed into a good game, end to end as Carew puts in a good cross, caught by the keeper

20:43 – great block by Davies

20:35 – GOALLLL – Carew buries a bad defensive error

20:32 – 2nd half Kicks off, want a stream try this

20:17 – started off slowly but at half time we had a near chance for Heskey but that was OK to be honest for a friendly got a little niggly at time and the Mexicans are taking it far more seriously. Albrighton is again showing with the goal and couple of runs he can be quality.

20:08 – GOAL !!!!!!!!!!! – Marc Albrighton after a cock up by the Keeper from a Young free kick

20:05 – MON has been sent off, for something quite petty !!

20:04 – Apparently according to the Yank commentators there is a team called dag and red

19:59 – first shot by villa, easy for keeper

19:58 – Atlanta miss a glorious chance after a deflected through ball

19:51 – Albrighton on for Petrov, Lichaj booked

19:51 – Davies OG after a decent cross

19:50 – that looks bad for Petrov as he landed awkwardly on his shoulder

19:43 – What is sidwell doing ? pulling the goalie’s hair, pathethic

19.40 – Stream dodgy but American commentator cracks me up !!

19:36 – Very slow start playing 4-3-3, Heskey on the right

19:31 – Kick off

19:00 – Guzan, Lichaj, Davies, Cuellar, Shorey; Reo-Coker, Sidwell, Petrov, Young; Carew, Heskey, no surprise Guzan gets a run out but as expected the same team as of Saturday

18.40 – Streams for the game are available search for veetle

Team News will appear here

I will try and provide another update service again but this is dependent on finding a working stream and also may miss the first half.
