Sevilla out of Cup after Seongnam tie
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 27 - 07 - 2009

FC Sevilla crashed out of the Peace Cup on Sunday after being held to a goalless draw at its home stadium by unfancied South Korean side Seongnam.
In the late match Saudi club Al-Ittihad held Spain's Real Madrid 1-1.
Raul put the Spanish club ahead in the 55th minute, but Ittihad's Aboucherouane pulled it back in the 64th minute to secure a morale-boosting tie for the Kingdom's club.
Earlier Sevilla needed all three points to make it to the semifinals after it was defeated on the opening day of the tournament 2-1 by Juventus. The match was played at Seville's Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium before about 3,000 people. Twelve teams from around the globe, including Real Madrid and Aston Villa, are taking part in the fourth edition of the pre-season tournament. There are four groups with three teams in each. The top team in each group goes through to the semifinals which will be played on July 31. The final takes place two days later in Seville.
Giggs, Owen on fire
A brace from a revived Michael Owen and a hat trick from veteran Ryan Giggs helped fire Manchester United to a thumping 8-2 win over Hangzhou Greentown here on Sunday.
The former Newcastle and England striker, who moved to Old Trafford on a free transfer earlier this month, scored twice in the first half to continue his bright start at his new club.
Further goals from the lively Zoran Tosic and Dimitar Berbatov underlined United's dominance as it ran the home side ragged in the first 45 minutes.
United scored four more goals in the second half, including two by Ryan Giggs, as Hangzhou failed to live with their illustrious visitors in a half-full stadium.
Celtic ready for Euro test
Celtic enjoyed the perfect preparation for this week's crucial Champions League qualifier against Dinamo Moscow as the Scottish club defeated Tottenham 2-0 to win the Wembley Cup on Sunday.
Tony Mowbray's side goes into the first leg against the Russians at Parkhead on Wednesday in fine form after following Friday's 5-0 victory over African champion Al Ahly with another impressive performance in the pre-season tournament at England's national stadium. New Zealand striker Chris Killen opened the scoring for a Celtic team showing 10 changes from the Al Ahly match and Georgios Samaras added a second before half-time.
Celtic's victory meant it finished the four-club competition in first place ahead of Barcelona, which beat bottom team Al Ahly 4-1 earlier Sunday.
Bojan Krkic, 18, opened the scoring with a clinical finish before Hany El-Egezy equalized for Al Ahly. Jose Maria Rueda restored the Spanish champion's lead with a thunderous strike and Jeffren Suarez, 21, and Pedro Rodriguez, 21, added to that lead after half-time.
Liverpool crushes Singapore
Liverpool beat Singapore 5-0 Sunday to snap a three-game preseason winless streak.
Liverpool striker Andriy Voronin opened the scoring in first-half injury time after a slow start by the Reds.
Liverpool secured the result with second-half goals by Fernando Torres, Albert Riera and a brace from Krisztian Nemeth.
