Today, the first final matches of the Intertoto Cup were played, after which only the footballers of La Coruna's "Deportivo" can feel a little calmer, having a two-goal advantage before the return matches.
The tormentors of the teams from the Lithuanian capital, Cluj's "Ecomax," did not lose at home to the "Lens" team and kept the chance to sensationally win the Intertoto tournament. The footballers of "Valencia" will have to work hard at the "La Mestalla" stadium to eliminate the advantage of "Hamburger", while "Marseille" made their situation very complicated by conceding the second goal to "Deportivo" in the 87th minute.
The winners of the Intertoto tournament will not only win the cup, but also qualify for the UEFA Cup tournament.
"Ecomax" (Romania) 1 - 1 "Lens" (France) 23' [0 - 1] Yoan Lachor 57' [1 - 1] Cristian Turcu 82' Jerome Leroy ("Lens") sent off the field
