Bolton equalizes late to tie Bayern

Soccer Betting Lines

11/08/2007 - Munich, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kevin Davies scored in the 82nd minute as Bolton earned a surprising 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich in Group F of the UEFA Cup on Thursday.

Ricardo Gardner gave Bolton the lead in the eighth minute, but Lukas Podolski scored two goals as Bayern Munich rallied for the second game in a row in the UEFA Cup.

Bayern needed an 86th minute goal from Miroslav Klose and a stoppage-time goal from Toni Kroos to win its first game in Group F, 3-2 over Red Star Belgrade.

The Bundesliga leaders couldn't hold off Bolton, though, surrendering the late equalizer to disappoint 66,000 fans at the Fubball Arena Munchen.

Gardner took advantage of poor defending for the early goal when Bayern failed to clear a throw-in. Gardner took a pass from Daniel Braaten and scored off a deflection.

Podolski, who took a reserve role this season with Bayern Munich following the signings of Luca Toni and Klose, scored his first goal in the 30th.

Midfielders Franck Ribery and Bastian Schweinsteiger helped set up the score, which Podolski easily slipped past Bolton goalie Ali Al Habsi.

Podolski, who started in place of Toni, added his second goal after halftime off an assist from Ribery.

Bayern was in control after taking the lead, but after Podolski (57th), Ribery (60) and Schweinsteiger (73) were taken out, Bolton was able to find the tying goal.

Kevin Nolan, who scored a late equalizer against West Ham in the Premiership on Sunday, set up Davies' goal with a nice pass in the box. Davies struck the ball low past Bayern goalie Oliver Kahn.

Bayern visits Braga when UEFA Cup play continues on Nov. 29. Bolton (0-0-2) hosts Aris Thessaloniki on Nov. 29.

Also in Group F, Thanassis Papazoglou scored two of Aris Thessaloniki's three goals in the final 14 minutes of a 3-0 win over Red Star Belgrade.

In Group A, Mikel Arteta and Victor Anichebe scored in the final 10 minutes as Everton beat Nurnberg 2-0, and Konstatin Zurianov and Fatih Tekke scored in the final 20 minutes as Zenit St. Petersburg rallied for a 3-2 victory over Larissa.

In Group B, Dame Ndoye scored in the 15th minute and Panathinaikos held on for a 1-0 win over FC Copenhagen after Hjalte Bo Norregaard missed a penalty kick in the 64th minute, and Lokomotiv Moscow's Branislav Ivanovic scored in the 45th minute to equalize Alexander Diamond's goal in the 27th for Aberdeen in a 1-1 draw.

In Group C, Kahveci Nihat and Gonzalez Santi Cazorla scored as Villarreal defeated Mlada Boleslav 2-1, and Martin Jorgensen had two goals as Fiorentina rolled to a 6-1 win over Elfsborg.

In Group D, Basle held onto the top spot with a 0-0 draw at Dinamo Zagreb, and Bruno Cheyrou scored on a penalty kick in the 88th minute as Rennes tied Brann, 1-1.

In Group E, Roman Pavluchenko and Santos Batista Mozart scored on penalty kicks and Spartak Moscow held on for a 2-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen, and Karol Kisel scored the second of his two goals in the 88th minute to lift Sparta Prague to a 3-2 win over Toulouse.

In Group G, Robbie Keane and Dimitar Berbatov scored in the first half and Tottenham had no trouble holding on for a 2-0 win after Hapoel Tel Aviv had a man sent off early in the second half, and Mattias Lindstrom scored in the 86th minute as AaB tied Anderlecht, 1-1.

In Group H, Henrik Larsson, Razak Omotoyossi and Christoffer Andersson scored as Helsinborg overcame two goals by Galatasaray's Shabani Nonda for a 3-2 win, and Silva Wendell converted a penalty in the 88th as Bordeaux rallied for a 2-1 win over Austria Vienna.

Pacific-10 Conference odds

Teams that should be in: Stanford

Oregon and USC get their tickets punched after taking care of business this weekend. Yes, the Trojans' computer numbers aren't great, but there's no way the third-place team in this league is getting nixed. Grudgingly, I added Arizona after consultation with our Bracketologist. I don't know that Arizona will lose its last three (including a Pac-10 quarterfinal game), and even if the Cats do, I still can't see how they'd be left out, given the overall profile. That said, it bears watching, as three more L's would leave them at 18-12 (9-9) and on a 6-11 skid entering the Dance. It would be nice to see the Wildcats get at least one W in the Bay Area next week, as Cincinnati (albeit without Armein Kirkland and with a worse profile) was axed after a similar slide last season. I just couldn't rationalize having some of the other teams as locks and not having Arizona in that category -- there just aren't enough good teams behind the Cats to threaten their spot, it seems. Stanford has its fate in its own hands with the Arizona schools coming to the Farm to close out the regular season next weekend.

Should be in:

Stanford [17-10 (9-7), RPI: 40, SOS: 21] No shame in not getting a win in L.A., but that makes the home game against Arizona State a must-win ahead of what could be an intriguing meeting with Arizona should the Cats lose at Cal. Getting to 11 Pac-10 wins would make Selection Sunday much more comfortable, but 10's probably more than enough this season. The Cardinal have nonconference wins over Texas Tech and at Virginia to lean on, although they also lost badly to Air Force and Santa Clara at home.

Southeastern Conference odds
Work left to do: Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Mississippi State

It looks more and more possible that no one from the SEC West will make the NCAAs. How weird is that? Tennessee and Vandy move into the locks category after more good work this weekend. Kentucky stays there, although it would be smart for the Cats to handle Georgia at home Wednesday ahead of a trip to the Swamp. Could a disaster scenario (two more L's and a first-round SEC tourney exit) somehow dislodge the Cats despite their incredible computer numbers? Still unlikely, but not worth chancing it.

Work left to do:

Alabama [19-9 (6-8), RPI: 43, SOS: 47] The tough L at Tennessee was understandable, and even created some hope. Unfortunately, that hope was dashed by a home loss to Auburn, which leaves the Tide in some real trouble. There's still no signature win on the profile (no, Kentucky doesn't count), and the computer profile is weakening rapidly. The Tide conceivably could beat Ole Miss and win at Miss. State to get to 8-8 and clinch at least a share of the West crown, but that's probably not enough right now. The Tide will need to do some work in the SEC tourney.

Georgia [16-10 (8-6), RPI: 52, SOS: 23] This is the team with the best chance to make it from this section right now. The Bulldogs rebounded from a terrible performance at Ole Miss to beat down Miss. State. Now they are at Kentucky (king of the RPI 51-100 win) and home to Tennessee. That would be worth a lot of computer points to get both (which is doable), as both teams are in the top 11 in RPI. Finishing at least 9-7 is an absolute must, and I would feel much better about the Dawgs' chances if they got both to get to 10 SEC wins. They also beat Gonzaga, but lost to ACC bubblers Georgia Tech and Clemson.

Mississippi [18-10 (7-7), RPI: 63, SOS: 79] Like everyone else in this division, Ole Miss gacked up a chance to stake a claim, losing by double figures at South Carolina. Even 9-7 likely is not nearly enough with a nonconference profile devoid of anything notable.

Mississippi State [16-11 (7-7), RPI: 66, SOS: 37] With a chance to get in the mix, these Bulldogs were leashed by their Georgia counterparts. Could they get to 9-7? I guess -- although winning at Arkansas, then beating Alabama is no lock -- but would that mean all that much for a team with this overall profile? Probably not. There's nothing of note (on the good side) in the nonconference profile.
