UEFA CUP: Ajax - Dinamo 2:3

AFC Ajax 2-3 NK Dinamo Zagreb (agg: 3-3, Dinamo win on away goals)
Marijo Mandžukić was the hero for Dinamo as Ajax were unravelled in extra time of a five-goal thriller in Amsterdam. The visitors' attacking intent was rewarded when Mandžukić was brought down in the area by Gregory van der Wiel and Luka Modrić (34) levelled the aggregate score from the spot. The match went to extra time whereupon Mandžukić scored twice in three minutes (94 & 96). Klaas Jan Huntelaar's also struck two goals (101, 120) but they came too late to save Henk ten Cate's side.

UEFA CUP: Dinamo - Ajax 0:1

Draws may not have favoured NK Dinamo Zagreb in recent seasons but the runaway Croatian league leaders are determined to give AFC Ajax a game in the UEFA Cup.

Bad luck
Last season, Dinamo lost to Arsenal FC in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round before losing to AJ Auxerre to miss out on a place in the UEFA Cup group stage. This season Europe's top club competition proved a step too far as they lost 5-3 on aggregate to German giants Werder Bremen, and they could have been excused a gasp of horror when the UEFA Cup draw paired them with Ajax.

Andorra - Croatia 0:6

Croatia crush sorry Andorra
Three goals in either half helped Croatia consolidate their UEFA EURO 2008™ Group E lead in this impressive six-goal showing against Andorra.

Petrić double
Mladen Petrić had scored four goals in the Croatian record-equalling 7-0 home win against David Rodrigo's side last October and the BV Borussia Dortmund player was again on target with two first-half strikes for the visitors. Darijo Srna, Niko Kranjčar, Eduardo da Silva and Ivan Rakitic were the other marksmen on a miserable day for Andorra, compounded by the 77th-minute dismissal of Genís García.

Deadlock broken
There had been little goalmouth action until midway through the first half when Kranjčar shot wide from just outside the area. A minute later, Eduardo headed over the bar from close range as the visitors began to assert their authority. Croatia then went ahead on 34 minutes, when Srna's free-kick deflected off the wall and over the helpless goalkeeper Koldo Álvarez.

Goal flurry
Within four minutes, Slaven Bilić's side had doubled their lead from another set-piece: Petrić curling an exquisite left-footed free-kick past Koldo. The forward then made it 3-0 a minute before the interval with an angled 12-metre drive that crept just inside the far post. After the break, three became four as the unmarked Kranjčar crashed a left-footed strike into the corner from nine metres. And as Andorra's resistance crumbled it was 5-0, Eduardo pouncing from short range after Kranjčar's shot had been blocked on the line on 55 minutes.
Croatia's dominance was total and a sixth goal duly arrived on 64 minutes, when substitute Rakitic poked in the rebound after Koldo had parried Petrić's curling free-kick

MONTENEGRO - SWEDEN (Mirko Vucinic goal)

Šveđani bez milosti
Podgorica - Crna Gora je igrala bolje nego protiv Slovenije, a doživjela prvi poraz na stadionu pod Goricom. Dugo je mirisalo na pobjedu - čvrstina na sredini, konture pravog tima, bolja igra i više zrelijih šansi od protivnika. Hladnokrvni Šveđani, ipak, nijesu imali sentimentalnosti prema domaćem timu i šest hiljada navijača - iskoristili veliki pad protivnika u finišu, kaznili dvije greške i odnijeli pobjedu. U meču u kojem je četa Zorana Filipovića zaslužila mnogo više od minimalnog poraza domaćin je poveo golom Vučinića u 16. minutu, a Skandinavci preokrenuli preko Rozenberga i Price u 70. i 74.

Croatia - Estonia 2:0 (Eduardo da Silva show)

Eduardo keeps Croatia on course
Eduardo da Silva struck twice inside six first-half minutes to seal an easy win for Croatia and move them two points clear at the Group E summit.
The Arsenal FC forward doubled the advantage in added time at the end of the first half, collecting a right-wing pass from Luka Modrić and making no mistake with a rasping left-footed drive straight into the top right corner to put the tie beyond doubt. From there on it became a damage-limitation exercise for Estonia, who succeeded by not conceding again...

Dinamo - Werder 2:3

Spot-on Bremen keep Dinamo at bay
Werder Bremen held their nerve to book a return to the UEFA Champions League group stage with an exciting 5-3 aggregate triumph though they were pushed all the way at the Maksimir Stadium by a determined NK Dinamo Zagreb outfit.

Diego spot-kicks
Coming into the game with a precarious 2-1 lead after the first encounter in Germany, Bremen enjoyed a dream start when Diego converted a 13th-minute penalty. Yet Ognjen Vukojević capitalised on a defensive error to reduce the Croatian side's overall deficit and it set the tone for the evening as the visitors struggled to put the tie beyond reach. Boubacar Sanogo restored their two-goal aggregate advantage, then Luka Modrić hit back from the spot for the home team before Diego scored yet another penalty midway through the half to finally settle the tie.

Vukojević strike
Diego had proved equally efficient 57 minutes earlier when he neatly slotted in from eleven metres after Hugo Almeida had elicited a foul in the middle of a crowded Dinamo box. It temporarily silenced the majority of the 40,000 crowd, but they regained their voice eight minutes later when Vukojević pounced on a loose pass from Frank Baumann and fired in courtesy of a deflection off the former Germany international. Yet that goal came against the run of play and Bremen quickly regained their composure and then, six minutes before the interval, the lead.

Sanogo effort
Hugo Almeida worked space for a powerful effort from the left that German goalkeeper Georg Koch could only parry into the path of Sanogo, who made no mistake. It left the home side needing to score three times to win through to the group stage, and although Modrić pulled one back after Boško Balaban had been brought down, Diego restored Bremen's lead on the night with 20 minutes remaining after Etto was fouled to finally extinguish home hopes.

Bosnia and Herzegovina - Croatia 3:5

Group E leaders Croatia warmed-up for their 8 September match with Estonia with a high-scoring win. Eduardo Da Silva and Darijo Srna put the visitors two up inside 35 minutes before Zlatan Muslimović pulled one back for the hosts. The same player levelled after the restart but two goals in as many minutes from Niko Kovač and Srna made it 4-2. Muslimović (77) completed his hat-trick but Kovač (81) finally secured the win.

Hajduk - Sampdoria 0:1

Hajduk feel heel of destiny
UC Sampdoria left Croatia with a 1-0 win after their goal led a charmed life early on in their UEFA Cup second qualifying round first leg at HNK Hajduk Split.

Deflected winner
Argentinian Hugo Campagnaro deflected Sergio Volpi's free-kick into the Hajduk net with his heel after 42 minutes to give the Genoa side the only goal of the game just two minutes after coming on as a substitute for the injured Pietro Accardi. However, Hajduk were left to rue their luck - and their finishing - after creating a number of presentable chances.

Off the woodwork
A crowd of 35,000 at the Poljud Stadium sensed a goal early on as Hajduk were awarded an indirect free-kick in the penalty area after ten minutes. Romanian midfielder Florin Cernat drove the set-piece against the crossbar before Srdjan Andrić saw his deflected shot hit the woodwork too. Four minutes later another Cernat effort from the edge of the box struck the post
The visitors seemed content to settle for a 1-0 win and did not push too hard for a second goal but nearly got one anyway as substitute Vicenzo Montella, on loan from AS Roma, drew a decent save from Balić late on. Nonetheless Samp are in a strong position for the home return in a fortnight.

Werder Bremen - Dinamo Zagreb 2:1

Werder strike late for 2-1 win over Dinamo Zagreb
Werder Bremen needed a long-range blast from Daniel Jensen four minutes from time to seal a 2-1 win over Dinamo Zagreb at the Weserstadion in the first leg of their Champions League third round qualifier on Wednesday.
Bosko Balaban had given the Croatian champions a deserved lead at the end of the first half, touching in from six metres to convert Mario Mandzukic's ball in from the right.
That acted as a spur for the Germans, who came out with a new attitude at the start of the second half.
Substitute Hugo Almeida struck the equaliser almost immediately when he raced through and scored on the rebound, after the keeper had blocked his first effort.
The visitors had plenty of chances to go ahead themselves before a thumping late effort from Danish international Jensen gave Werder a slim advantage to take to the away leg on Aug. 29.
