LONDON ‚?? Deivid de Souza scored a late goal Wednesday to give Fenerbahce a 2-1 upset over Chelsea, and Liverpool got a crucial away goal in its 1-1 draw at Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals.
Deivid gave Chelsea the lead with an own-goal in the 13th minute, but he then scored with a dramatic shot from distance in the 81st to give the Turkish team a win in its first appearance in the Champions League quarterfinals.
Liverpool came back with a 26th-minute goal from Dirk Kuyt to get its draw at English rival Arsenal after Emmanuel Adebayor put the hosts ahead three minutes earlier. The teams will play again in the second leg on Tuesday, with the winners facing each other later this month in the semifinals.
Chelsea led at Sukru Saracoglu stadium when Deivid deflected a cross from Florent Malouda into his own net.
But Kazim equalized in the 65th by beating the offside trap and beating Chelsea goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini.
‚??We are strong enough at home,‚?ù Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack said. ‚??Everything is in our hands.‚?ù
Chelsea almost scored a goal of its own in the 26th when a header by Frank Lampard went wide. Didier Drogba then had a shot saved by goalkeeper Volkan Demirel in the 29th.
‚??Normally it‚?ôs a good result to lose 2-1 away from home, but because we played the better football, we are disappointed,‚?ù Chelsea manager Avram Grant said.
Kuyt scored for Liverpool by sliding inside the 6-yard box and deflecting a cross from captain Steve Gerard, three minutes after Adebayor had given the host the lead at the Emirates Stadium with a header off a cross from Robin van Persie.
Emmanuel Eboue nearly scored another for Arsenal, but Martin Skrtel cleared it off the line with Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina beaten.Croatian player dies
Zadar winger Hrvoje Custic died on Thursday after hitting his head on a concrete wall during a Croatian championship match last weekend, state news agency Hina reported.
Custic, 24, was going for the ball during Saturday‚?ôs 1-0 home win over Cibalia Vinkovci when he slid off the pitch and hit the wall which was two meters from the touchline. __
