02/07/2010 -
Dortmund, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sebastian Jung and Alexander Meier scored
goals in the final 25 minutes to help Eintracht complete a 3-2 comeback
victory against Borussia Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park on Sunday.
The visitors went ahead in the eighth minute with a goal from Benjamin Kohler,
but after Mats Hummels equalized nine minutes later, Lucas Barrios handed
Dortmund a 2-1 lead with a little over 30 minutes to play.
However, Jung leveled the contest in the 65th minute and Meier scored the
winner nine minutes later, moving Eintracht three places up the Bundesliga
table and into seventh.
Patrick Ochs set up the opening goal with a right-wing cross to the middle of
the penalty area where he found Kohler, who had plenty of space to head the
ball inside the left post.
Hummels equalized nine minutes later from a corner kick as Eintracht failed to
properly clear the ball and Mohamed Zidan played it to the feet of Hummels,
who scored from inside the six-yard box.
Halil Altintop poked a shot past Dortmund goalkeeper Marc Ziegler, but Hummels
retreated in time to clear the ball off the goal line.
Altintop had another opportunity with a free header from the middle of the
area, but he missed the target, while Barrios notched his 11th goal of the
campaign to put Dortmund in front in the 57th minute after a nice pass from
Zidan.
Jung was able to pull the visitors level minutes later when his free kick took
a deflection off of Dortmund's Nuri Sahin and found its way past Ziegler, and
they went in front in the 74th minute when Altintop played Meier in on goal
and he beat the keeper with a shot inside the far post.
Dortmund had one final chance to snatch a point in stoppage time, but Felipe
Santana headed over the goal from inside the six-yard box.
Sunday's other contest saw Mainz climb into eighth place as Bo Svensson's goal
right before halftime was enough to give his team a 1-0 win over
Monchengladbach.

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.
