Espanyol are a point away
from reaching the third round of the competition after drawing 1-1 at Broendby.
Lotina put out a strong side, with Kameni playing his first UEFA cup match in
goal replacing Iraizoz, and Luis García and Tamudo both went close early
on. But as the first half progressed Michael Laudrup's side took command, with
Kameni saving well from Rasmussen and Retov shooting wide.
Three minutes before the
break though the Catalans went ahead, Tamudo beating Ankergren after Luis
García set him up. However Rasmussen hit the bar at the other end before
the half time whistle, and Kameni was in action a couple of times after the
restart before Retov also rattled the woodwork.
The Danish side eventually
equalised when Skoubo's header was deflected off the head of Moisés
Hurtado past Kameni, and Espanyol were left with ten men (and no manager) a few
minutes later when Fredson was shown a red card for retaliating and Lotina
followed him down the tunnel for protesting. Numbers were evened up soon
afterwards though when Dan Johanssen was also sent for what looked like a punch
at De la Peña, and the Spaniards held on for the draw. A point now at
home against Petach Tikva in a fortnight's time will ensure them a place in the
top three of their group. |
