Sevilla Keeper Andres Palop Scores 4 Minutes into Injury Time

By: Bob | March 15th, 2007

It was a bizarre one in Ukraine Thursday with the UEFA Cup holders Sevilla barely escaping elimination against Shakhtar Donetsk. The first goal in the above video, scored by Shakhtar’s Francelino Matuzalem, would have been the goal of the match if it weren’t for the heroics of Sevilla goalkeeper Andres Palop who scored the equalizer four minutes into injury time. Where were the defenders on that play? Javier Cevanton then scored in extra time to help Sevilla advance to the quarterfinals and to eliminate Shakhtar. Palop must have been inspired by the crazy orange keeper.

4 minutes is nothing
ive seen games where 6 and 7 minutes of stoppages have occured.

I watched this match and there was a lot of stoppage in the second half thus 4 minutes added were fair... Sevilla really outplayed Shaxtar in two games and deserved to go through to the quarterfinals...
Joe

Four minutes doesn't seem like a lot...

I would love to hear the refs excuse for so much injury time. Well, other than not having the defending champs eliminated by Shakhtar Donetsk. Seems to me a little extreme.
