Liberec hold Borussia Dortmund to scoreless draw in UEFA Cup quarter final

And we begin with the news that Slovan Liberec played a scoreless draw with Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their UEFA cup quarter-final tie last Thursday night. Liberec created a few great chances but failed to capitalise on them - Liberec coach Ladislav Skorpil said after the game that his side's finishing had let them down. Under the away goals rule, the 0:0 result means that a scoring draw in the second leg in Dortmund this Thursday would be enough to see Liberec through to the semis, and that would be a phenomenal achievement.
