Lots of 1st round uefa cup action today.
I'll be following my team (Everton) against Bucahrest today, dont feel too confident about it as we have been stuggling of late, will be more than happy to come away with a draw.
several games already finished, a couple of high scoring ones, result in:
Bayer Leverkusen 0 1 CSKA Sofia
Besiktas 0 1 Malmo FF - good result away from home against tough Turk side
CSKA Moscow 3 1 FC Midtjylland
FK Teplice 1 1 Espanyol
Feyenoord 1 1 Rapid Bucuresti - good result for Bucaresti, 2nd leg should be close
Krylia Sovetov 5 3 AZ - very high scoring game, even 2 goals down i would expect AZ to get through with a solid home win in the 2nd leg.
Maccabi Petach Tikva 0 2 Partizan Belgrade
Rennes 3 1 Osasuna - tough result for the spanish side, have there work cut out to go through.
SK Brann 1 2 Lokomotiv Moscow
Shakhtar Donetsk 4 1 Debrecen
VfB Stuttgart 2 0 Domzale
Viking FK 1 0 Austria Magna
Vitoria Setubal 1 1 Sampdoria - italians should be comfortable at home in 2nd leg
Zenit St Petersburg 0 0 AEK Athens - likewise for the greeks, expect them to win return leg

I watched the match between my home team Austria Magna at Viking FK. Austria, without 8 regulars that are injured, against a strong Norwegian team that is till in the hunt for the national championship.
first half was equal between both teams but in the second half Viking dominated Austria and Mambo Mumba scored the goal after a free kick.
I still believe Austria will bounce back in 2 weeks and reach the UEFA cup group phase like last year where we reached the quarter finals.
