The Spaniards then extended their advantage in the 23rd minute, Arouna Kone planting a header high in the net from Capel’s pinpoint left-wing cross. Seven minutes from time Sevilla confirmed their victory when Chevanton added a third from yet another cross from Capel.

Chelsea raced into a three goal lead within eighteen minutes against AC Milan in the third place play-off of the Russian Railways Cup. Frank Lampard’s inswinging free-kick evaded everyone for the first then five minutes later Nicolas Anelka drilled home the second before he tapped home the third following some shocking goalkeeping from Kalac. After the break Anelka got his hat-trick goal, a free header in the box from Malouda’s cross. And the Frenchman capped off an incredible personal achievement netting his fourth, turning home yet another left wing cross from Malouda.

Jermaine Jenas fed Darren Bent in the box, and the red-hot striker wriggled free, spun, and fired a low shot to give Spurs the lead over Borussia Dortmund. Spurs took a two goal lead with another goal set up by Jenas, Dos Santos running through and producing a sweet finish with the outside of his boot. Jamie O’Hara capped off another impressive pre-season win for Spurs.

Abou Diaby put in a nasty tackle on Wesley Sneijder, forcing the Real midfielder off on a stretcher with reports of cruicate ligament injury.

McLaren’s Heikki Kovalainen won his maiden grand prix in Hungary as Felipe Massa’s leading Ferrari broke down three laps from the finish and Lewis Hamilton came in fifth after suffering a puncture. Timo Glock secured his first career podium for Toyota, holding off reigning world champion Kimi Raikkonen in third.

The 2008 Sunoco Red Cross Pennsylvania 500 was decided by pit strategy. Pocono Raceway is the “superspeedway that drives like a road course” and the winning strategy today was a road course one. Edwards’ crew brought him in as soon as they were inside their pit window. The race stayed green all the way and he made it to the checkered flag on fumes to claim the win. Mark Martin had the best car during the first half of the race but an error in the pits shuffled him back in the pack. NASCAR Sprint Cup racing is so competitive that any small error can ruin your shot at the win. Mark was never a serious threat to claim the win after that.
