Extrordinary. Simply Amazing. It took 21 seconds for Bobby Zamora to score the winner tonight in Germany and it was an outstanding goal at that. Gera picked up the ball and passed it sweetly to Zamora who completely turned the centre back and calmly shot under the keeper. It was without a doubt the best start any Fulham fan could have imagined and it was only to get better. The one down side of scoring that early was how long we had to hang on. 89 mins 39seconds to hang out actually. But as Murphy very acccurately said after the game, we never really were hanging on as we looked the better team throughout the match. Fulham did something that people, especially Wolfsburg, did not expect. They attacked every time thet had the ball! Some of the passing was beautiful to watch and it could have been 3-0 at the end.
In all fairness to Wolfsburg, they to had their chances and even had the ball in ther back of the net but for the offside rule. They also came very close at the end when Dzeko hit the post and Hangeland did well to prevent the follow up.
Well done boys! And bring on Hamburg in the next round!

So did we!
Fantastic away performance from the team. Every single player was superb. Hamburg only have two points more than Wolfsberg this season in they Bundesliga – whilst they are a good side, we can definitely turn them over.
