UEFA Champions League, Group F, Arsenal – Napoli 2:0
Goran Pandev started up front for Napoli as the lone striker, with Gonzalo Higuaín nursing an injury, and played until the 61st minute when he was replaced by Dries Mertens. Goran was rather quiet as Arsenal scored its two goals in the opening 15 minutes to record the three points.
UEFA Champions League, Group E, Steaua București – Chelsea 0:4
Daniel Georgievski started at right-back for Steaua București and played until the 71st minute when he was substituted by Fernando Varela. Georgievski struggled mightily dealing with Chelsea winger André Schürrle, and to cap off a bad game also scored an own goal in the 44th minute. The Steaua keeper saved a shot by Samuel Eto’o, but Georgievski, who was running full speed towards his goal to mark Ashley Cole, sent the rebound into his own net for an unfortunate own goal. When he was substituted, Georgievski received loud boos from the crowd and also has been getting hammered by Romanian newspapers for his play in the game. In times like these, we will find about Daniel’s character in how he responds from a difficult situation.
The own goal by Georgievski (at 2:41):
