Paraguay's Superclásico took place this weekend with Olimpia and Cerro Porteño having to be
content with sharing the spoils following a 1-1 draw in the capital city of Asuncion on Sunday.
Record champions Olimpia may have amassed 38 league titles to date in their glory-laden history
but the last of those championships came eleven years ago which is far too long for a club of its
stature.
Fort Lewis scored in the second minute, added some second half insurance, then withstood a
furious rally to defeat No. 8 Colorado Mines 2-1 on Sunday at Dirks Field.
Freshman Kosta Kordistos started the scoring early, slipping a shot past CSM goalkeeper Manville
Strand and inside the far post just 1:43 into the game.
The first Eternal Derby of the season occurred in Croatia this weekend with Hajduk Split
succeeding in their quest to be the first team to ruin Dinamo Zagreb's 100% winning record. The
arch-rivals played out a 1-1 draw at Split's Poljud Stadion with the home side able to pick up a
point despite playing the majority of the match with ten men.
Saudi Arabia's domestic championship began this weekend with record champions Al-Hilal showing
their mettle as they came from behind to defeat Hajer Club by two goals to one whilst Al-Ittihad
warmed up for their forthcoming AFC Champions League clash with South Korean outfit FC Seoul with
an exciting 5-3 triumph over Al Tawwun.
The Turkish Süper Lig has finally got under way over the last weekend following extensive
investigations into match-fixing. Last season's champions Fenerbahçe scraped a 1-0 home win
against Ordurspor last night whilst both of their arch-rivals Beşiktaş and Galatasaray
experienced losing starts to the campaign going down to Eskişehirspor and Istanbul BB
respectively.
Hands up. Who would have taken a draw before the game? So 1-1 away to Borussia Dortmund in the
opening Champions League group game last night is a decent result for the Arsenal I say. RVP scored
a great goal to give the Gunners the lead before a last-gasp wonder strike from substitute Ivan
Perisic denied us three points.
It's not often you get the chance to back United at 1.85 to win at home, but you can get that
price with Paddy Power and Victor Chandler for them to beat arch rivals Chelsea on Sunday.
That looks a terrific punt especially as they have started the season on fire and have an
excellent record against the Stamford Bridge mob.
A bit of this will not hurt Arsenal
Five matches into the season and a perfect record. An outpouring of 21 goals with just four
conceded. And the latest, a win over arch rivals Chelsea by a 3-1 margin. Utd are already
separating themselves by their intimidating performances.
His side's effervescent start is still not enough to make Sir Alex happy.
Mano Menezes won his first title as Brazil manager last night as the Ronaldinho-captained Seleção
defeated arch-rivals Argentina 2-0 to win the two-legged 2011 Superclássico de Las Americas
series. (function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id))
