Today was Feyenoord (Rotterdam) - PSV (Eindhoven) in the Dutch competition, the 1st and 2nd placed teams in the competition so a big match. Feyenoord won because of a 82nd minute goal that would never ever have been given if there had not been goal line technology  

 

The ball didn't pass the line, then PSV's goalkeeper Jeroen Zoet picked it up in such a way that it passed the line by a few millimeter, resulting in 'Goal' instead of 'No goal'

Yep, but only in one stadium because it's too expensive

 

First half of the season it's in Ajax' stadium in Amsterdam and then it's moved to Feyenoord's stadium in Rotterdam

 

In our national cup competition we have video referees for the big matches, like this week's semi-finals.

Yes, I know it's expensive, that's why I was surprised. Great job from your federation anyway.

In gruop B: South Africa, Senegal, Sudan and Cameroon will play today and Sunday for the two remaining tickets

The surprise is the absence of two "big teams": Ghana and Nigeria, both nations not qualified for the final CAF championship.

This looks bad for Torres..hit on the head, then fell on his head, followed by both Deportivo and Atletico players rushing to him within seconds.

Only Pachuca has already won the CCL (four time); Tigres finished runner-up last year, for other two teams could be their first final, the SF are their best result ever
