A goal from Bojan Krkic after twelve minutes was enough to give Barcelona a victory in the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, which leaves Bara very close to a semi final place in this seasons Champions League. The performance was not pretty but the players showed the pride that seemed to be lacking recently to earn a deserved victory. Frank Rijkaard made just one change to the team that lost to Betis, with Milito returning to the defence in place of Thuram. Bara started in much the Philipp Grubauer Jersey same way as they had against Betis with a high percentage of po se sion. After eight minutes Xavi sent a great ball into Iniesta but for once his first touch was not good allowing Schalke keeper Neuer the chance Joonas Donskoi Men Jersey to close down the angle and block.Then in the twelfth minute Iniesta threaded a fine ball through to Henry, the Frenchmans first shot was not great but Neuer failed to hold the ball and Henry had a second chance, this time he managed to get the ball acro s the face of the goal to the unmarked Bojan who had the simply job of putting the ball over the line, scoring his first ever Champions League goal.Schalke had their first shot on goal after 17 minutes but Valds made an easy save. The Germans Mason Appleton Women Jersey continued to look for an equalizer but Baras po se sion game meant they had few opportunities. The game continued to resemble the Betis game with Bara creating very little but this time Bara seemed to show more determination in defence. Westermann and Altintop had attempts on goal but nothing that caused Valds any difficulties. Valds had his first problem early in the second half when he failed to hold Ernsts shot but Puyol was quick to avert the danger. Schalke were beginning to take control of the game and Bara didnt manage a second half effort until the 63rd minute when Iniesta had a run followed by a weak shot.In the 70th minute Schalke had their best chance yet when Pander cro sed the ball back to Ernst whose shot was nearly deflected in by Asomoah. A minute later they came close again when Altintop hit wide a great chance Chris Driedger Men Jersey after a cro s from the right. Again it looked like there could be a repitition of the Betis game. Then Marquez came on in place of Toure and despite the Germans continued search for an equalizer their attempts could not find the target.Bara caused one moment of danger at the other end when Sylvinho, who had just come on for Bojan, cro sed towards Henry but Neuer dived in front of him to push the ball away. Schalke had one last great chance when Bordons header in injury time was tipped over by Valds. The last few minutes were spoilt as the referee finally remembered he had yellow cards in his pocket and Giovani, Marquez and Puyol all got silly cards in injury time.Bara: Valds; Zambrotta, Puyol, Milito, Abidal; Xavi, Toure ( Mark Giordano Men Jersey Marquez 73), Iniesta; Etoo (Giovani 81), Bojan (Sylvinho 85), Henry.Goals: 12 Bojan 0-1 youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5JVHVMwTPw Bojans goal for 0-1 |
