On Thursday evening, the first matches of the UEFA Cup semi-finals ended with a score of 0-0.

The successful team led by coach Boby Robson, Newcastle, managed to hold Marselis football players to a draw at home without their key players. Both teams created several dangerous opportunities, but failed to capitalize on them. The only yellow card in the match was shown to Habib Beye.

The meeting between two Spanish teams also ended goalless. Valencia played as if they wanted to solve everything in the match at the Mestalla stadium. Unlike the match in France, this game was characterized by a multitude of yellow cards. Four were shown to Valencia players. Two were shown to Villareal players.

We can expect very interesting second leg matches, and it is likely that we will definitely see goals in the second matches of these teams.
