Dempsey sends Fulham past Juve in Europa

Soccer Betting Lines

03/18/2010 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Clint Dempsey scored in the 82nd minute and Zoltan Gera had two goals, leading Fulham to a 4-1 win over 10-man Juventus on Thursday and into the quarterfinals of the Europa League on aggregate, 5-4.

Bobby Zamora also scored for Fulham, which overcame a second-minute goal from David Trezeguet to erase a 4-1 overall deficit in the Round of 16 series. Juve won the first leg 3-1 in Italy.

Atletico Madrid, Benfica, Hamburg, Liverpool, Standard Liege, Valencia, and Wolfsburg also advanced to the quarterfinals.

Gera scored the first of his two goals 12 minutes after Juventus captain Fabio Cannavaro was sent off midway through the first half and added his second four minutes after the break to level the aggregate at 4.

Dempsey, who returned from a knee injury in the first leg last week, missed an open header minutes after coming on as a substitute, but delivered a brilliant strike to cap the English club's memorable win at Craven Cottage.

The American chipped the ball from the edge of the penalty area just over Juve goalie Antonio Chimenti and into the upper-left corner.

Jonathan Zebina capped Juve's exit from European play when he was sent off in the closing seconds of normal time, allowing Fulham to easily finish off three added minutes.

Liverpool joined Fulham in the last eight with a 3-0 win over Lille at Anfield to overturn a first-leg deficit. Lille won 1-0 in France last week, but Steven Gerrard opened the scoring and Fernando Torres added two as Liverpool advanced on aggregate, 3-1.

David Villa scored a hat trick at Weserstadion as Valencia advanced with a 4-4 draw against Werder Bremen. Bremen earned a 1-1 draw in Spain in the first leg but the Spanish side built a 4-2 lead in the return leg in Germany and held on to advance on away goals with the aggregate 5-5.

Benfica defeated Marseille on a 90th-minute goal from Alan Kardec in a 2-1 win at Stade Velodrome in France that sent the Portugal side through on aggregate, 3-2.

Belgian side Standard Liege got a goal from Deiudonne Mbokani in a 1-0 victory over Greece's Panathinaikos at Maurice Dufrasne Stadium to secure advancement on aggregate, 4-1.

German side Hamburg nearly blew a three-goal aggregate lead but, after Belgium side Anderlecht scored four goals in a 22-minute span at Constant Vanden Stock Stadium, Mladen Petric sealed the visitors' 6-5 overall win despite a 4-3 loss in the second leg.

Sergio Aguero scored twice to help Atletico Madrid draw Sporting Lisbon 2-2 at Estadio Jose Alvalade in Portugal and the Spanish side advanced on away goals. Atletico and Sporting tied the first leg 0-0.

Wolfsburg's Christian Gentner scored the series-winner in the 119th minute and the German side edged Russia's Rubin 2-1 at Volkswagen Arena in the lone extra time match to advance on aggregate, 3-2.
