Early games of 10/15/11!

Well, it has already been quite an exciting day as Malmo were able to edge Djurgarden in Sweden thanks to a stoppage time goal from Wilton Figueiredo  in the 1st half for the home side. With the 3 points from this win, Malmo have now solidified their control of 5th place in the Swedish Allsvenskan League. Meanwhile, in Germany, Mainz were level 0-0 with Augsburg as I posted this. Back up north in Scotland, Kilmarnock v.s. Celtic was a surprisingly intense game! Kilmarnock were at home and they controlled the early part of the game with Dean Shiels opening the scoring account in the 26th. Paul Heffernan added a 2nd in the 40th to make it 2-0. Celtic were admittedly not looking very good. Things only got worse though as James Fowler struck Kilmarnock's 3rd in the 45th minute to end a half that gave the home side what would appear to be an impregnable lead. Well, never leave Celtic in that kind of a situation. Beginning in the 73rd minute of the 2nd half, Anthony Stokes and his Celtic teammates went on the warpath. Stokes struck twice, in the 73rd and 76th minutes to bring Celtic back to a 3-2 position. Charlie Mulgrew then scored a 3rd in the 80th to complete quite a comeback. While Celtic probably wanted a win from this game, they deserved the draw after Kilmarnock played a great game and the Glasgow side were good enough to equalize. Down in England, the big match between Liverpool and Manchester United was poised 1-1 after Steven Gerrard had given Liverpool the lead in the 68th minute. Javier Hernandez was on the scene to equalize for United though, in the 81st. United have definitely been getting the bigger share of the bookings though, registering 3 between the 43rd and the 65th minutes. Lucas Leiva was the only Liverpool player to be booked and that was in the 28th minute. Last but not least, in Russia, CSKA Moskva finished level with Terek after the home side gave up a 2-0 lead. Vagner Love and Seydou Doumbia were the men to give CSKA the lead with goals in the 39th and 47th minutes. The 2nd half was largely Terek's though, with Alexander Pavlenko striking in the 67th and Mauricio slotting home in the next minute to bring the away-side level. CSKA were left without a response as the 11th-placed side shared the points with the 2nd-placed one. Meanwhile, Krasnodar led Rostov 2-0 as I posted this with goals from Yevgeni Shipitsin in the 1st minute of extra time of the 1st half; and Joaozinho's 57th minute strike.
