Three-goal second half keeps Feyenoord perfect

Soccer Betting Lines

09/16/2007 - Kerkrade, Holland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Feyenoord moved to 4-0 on the young season after erasing a one-goal deficit at halftime by scoring three goals in the second half to beat Roda, 3-1 at Parkstad Limburg Stadion on Sunday.

Cheikh Tiote fired the home side ahead in the 40th minute, but Roy Makaay converted from the penalty spot shortly after the restart, and Jonathan De Guzman scored two goals in an eight-minute span to give the visitors all three points.

The teams traded scoring chances throughout the first half with no breakthrough until five minutes before the break.

Pa-Modou Kah's pass from the left found Tiote inside the area, and he finished off the play with a well-placed shot past keeper Henk Timmer.

Things turned around quickly in the second half, with Kah's day changing instantly. After providing the ball for Tiote on Roda's first-half goal, Kah was whistled for handling the ball inside his own box. This allowed Makaay to step to the penalty spot and bury the shot to level the match at 1-1.

De Guzman then took over from there to carry Feyenoord to the maximum points. The midfielder tallied his first goal from long distance with a cracking shot that gave keeper Bram Castro no chance.

The Canadian-born player then got on the other end of a cross from Tim De Cler and finished off the play to give the visitors a two-goal cushion that would not be threatened the rest of the match.

In other action in Holland on Sunday, NAC got a goal from Edwin de Graaf to get past NEC 1-0, AZ Alkmaar scored two goals in the second half to salvage a 2-2 draw with Sparta and Twente downed Willem II 3-1.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
