U-17 European Final and some of the last domestic action. 5/15/2011.

Well Germany did put up a fight, going ahead twice, but it was for naught as the Netherlands crushed their rivals 5-2 by the time the final whistle blew. Samed Yesil put Germany ahead in the 8th minute to get the game off to a quick start. Tonny Trindade de Vilhena equalized 15 minutes later to keep the Oranje in the game. Okan Aydin then put Germany ahead once more, in the 32nd. However, de Vilhena struck again for Holland to keep the Germans at bay. His goal came 2 minutes after Aydin's. The sides thus went into half-time level. Who knows what happened between the two halves but the Netherlands dominated the second half: Memphis Depay and Terence Kongolo scored a goal a piece early on while Kyle Ebecilio scored the fifth later on to end an explosive performance. This was the Netherlands' first U-17 title. Domestically, Scotland have Rangers in front of Celtic in the table 93 to 92. Despite Celtic's recent good form, they couldn't make up their one point deficit. Celtic did crush Motherwell 4-0, but Rangers performed well too: winning 5-1 over Kilmarnock. In Sweden, Malmo edged Orebro 2-1 thanks to Guillermo Molins' 62nd and 80th minute strikes. Orebro had started the match in the lead though, thanks to Valdet Rama's 37th minute strike. Molins struck both of his goals in the second half. In the Netherlands, Ajax actually sprinted to the finish and surged into the top table position as they defeated FC Twente 3-1. Siem de Jong struck the first goal while Denny Landzaat scored an own goal early in the second half. Theo Janssen scored for Twente finally though, but de Jong slotted home again to end it for Twente's chances. In England, Aston Villa beat Arsenal 2-1, Newcastle actually tied with Chelsea 2-2, Liverpool lost to Tottenham 0-2, while Wigan edged West Ham 3-2.
