Braga 2 – Spurs 3 (UEFA Cup)
Dang that was an exciting game!!!
You could feel the excitement and buzz that the players were experiencing it was that good. They really looked like they were enjoying themselves out there.
I couldn’t fault any of the Spurs players at all on the night, they all played exceptionally well.
The referee was good too, playing advantage when needed and letting the game flow. The only problems were the two decisions that he gave against us that resulted in their two goals!!!
No it’s not me being an over ardent supporter. I genuinely believe that he got it totally wrong on both occasions. Yes the ball hit his arm, but it was ball to hand and there was nothing he could have done about it from that range, and the penalty decision was just plain wrong.
The Braga players were playing for penalties and free kicks all night and it was to the ref’s credit that he only gave the two that he did. It’s just unfortunate that the two he got wrong resulted in goals.
If I were to critcise Spurs at all, it’s in their defence of set plays. We are pretty poor at that if we are honest and MJ needs to bang some heads and sort that if we are to progress in this and other competitions.
But 2-3 away from home in the first leg – I’ll take that!!! Looking forward now to the second leg next week at White Hart Lane.
