Aco Stojkov with a penalty kick goal for Aarau, Vladimir Dimitrovski and Mladá Boleslav advanced to the semifinals of the Czech Cup, youngster Filip Timov played in his first competitive match for Koper, while Goran Pandev and Inter recorded a narrow road victory in the first leg of their semifinals matchup against Roma in the Coppa Italia.

Italy, Coppa Italia, Roma – Inter 0:1
Goran Pandev started for Inter and played until the 82nd minute when he was replaced by Joel Obi.  Pandev played on the left wing with regular starter Samuel Eto’o nursing an injury and being forced to miss this game.  Pandev made a good run in the 16th minute before he sent a dangerous cross from the left but a Roma defender cleared the danger and headed the ball for a corner.  Two minutes later, Pandev won a free kick from a dangerous position but Wesley Sneijder’s free kick struck the Roma wall and it redirected for another corner for Inter.  Pandev should have done better in the 53rd minute when he received a good cross in the box from Dejan Stanković but Pandev attempted a weak header and wasted a good opportunity.  Pandev lost his effectiveness as the game went on so he was therefore substituted in the 82nd minute as Inter scored the only goal of the game in the 45th minute thanks to a wonder goal by Dejan Stanković.

Ukraine, Premyer-Liha, Dynamo Kyiv – Zorya 2:0
Goran Popov played the entire game for Dynamo Kyiv and was pretty active as he attempted a number of shots from distance and came close on two occasions but the visiting keeper was alert and saved both of his chances.  The first chance for Popov came in the 11th minute when he unleashed a missile from about 25 meters but the keeper didn’t take any chances in catching the venomous shot so he just punched the ball and it went for a corner.  The second good chance for Popov came in the 57th minute but his header following a corner kick from the left was saved nicely by the Zorya keeper and it went for another corner.

Russia, Perviy Divizion, Alania – Sibir 1:1
Velice Sumulikoski started in central midfield for Sibir and played all 90 minutes in a matchup of the two teams that got relegated from the Russian Premier League last season.  Both teams scored their goals from penalty kicks with Alania taking the lead in the 3rd minute before Sibir equalized in the 45th minute.

Russia, Perviy Divizion, Torpedo Moskva – Shinnik 1:0
Artim Polozani started for Torpedo Moskva and played until the 54th minute when he was replaced by Aleksei Vasilyev.  Polozani displayed good skill in the 12th minute when he dribbled past a couple of opposing players before he fired a dangerous shot from distance which was saved by the visiting keeper.

Austria, ÖFB-Cup, Rapid Wien – Mattersburg 2:0
Ilco Naumoski did not play for Mattersburg because he is still sick.  He was initially listed as questionable for this game but he was unable to recover in time so he missed his second consecutive game for Mattersburg.

Serbia, Jelen SuperLiga, Smederevo – Partizan 1:4
Aleksandar Lazevski was not among the 18 players called up by Partizan as the manager decided to rest many key players including Lazevski so they can be ready for the huge game this Saturday against heated rivals Crvena Zvezda.  The two teams are tied at the top of the table with 59 points each so this will be an important game that could decide the title race in Serbia.

Serbia, Jelen SuperLiga, Vojvodina – Hajduk Kula 2:1
Daniel Mojsov played all 90 minutes for Vojvodina and threatened in the 20th minute from a long range free kick but his powerful shot went just wide of the goal.  Vojvodina has won all eight league games in the 2nd half of the season following the lengthy winter break and they continue to have the best defense in Serbia as they have only conceded nine goals after 23 games.
