N.B. Lost all of my notes on my phone so I cant give an in depth review of these matches as I would have liked.
Manchester United 0 - 2 Borussia Dortmund
Evenly contested match as first predicted with both teams moving the ball well on the wet surface and both having a fair number of shots at goal. Dash's first half heroics kept Dortmund at bay. The Manchester keeper's heroics continued into the second half but did not last long as Ricky opened the scoring for Dortmund.
Manchester searched for an equalizer and were undone by a Dortmund counter that resulted in a Man Utd own goal.
Ajax 1- 0 Chelsea
The match of the night as Chelsea almost made it to the final ahead of Ajax. Match was evenly contested with both teams riding their luck in the first half but Ajax seemed to lose the plot as tempers flared and they were arguing among themselves. Shavar Jones kept his side in the match with two point blank saves and was fortunate to see Justin Luke's drive clip the post. Tazieo Riley would however win it for Ajax as his deflected shot beat Hosea Boyce for Ajax to advance to the semi finals.
