The Greatest Comeback Ever, maybe??

**Shed End John** · 10/03/2004, 4:32 PM

Watched Eurogoals as usual on Monday night and was slightly thrown by the decision to show Grasshoppers Zurich v FC Zurich in Grasshoppers ground (name, anyone?) in the Swiss Cup semi.
What unfolded was simply incredible. Grasshoppers comical defending had them 5-2 down with 9 mins remaining, and the FC fans predictably going wild. On 88 1/2 mins the score stood at 5-3 to FC. In the 90 seconds + 2 mins injury time, Grasshoppers managed to score twice to leave the score 5-5!! With the psychological edge, they won it 6-5 in extra time!! Best comeback I've EVER seen, no shadow of a doubt.

Limerick 5 points up with 5 minute to go. Lost 3-16 to 2-13.

Not a bad comeback admittedly, but in soccer you don't have the option of scoring points.

Tranmere -v- Southampton a few years back in the FA cup when the former were three down with twenty minutes to go.

City -v- Rovers in the cup coming back from two down to win 3-2 was the best i've seen live, one of the best city nights i've had.

The legend scoring the winner !! Have to say that weas the greatest i have ever witnessed. Biased no doubt but has ot be said.

They place went mental ... What a night (was it a mid week game ?)

I know they didnt win the match but werent Alaves a lot of goals down to Liverpool in the UEFA cup final, before getting it back level. Of course they lost it in the end

That was some match.

I can remember City being 2 down versus sligo rovers before winning 3-2.

I saw that swiss game on eurogoals as well. the defending was a bit comical though !

our result in europe against cwambran wasn't bad too. when the winner went in, the cross went mental!!!

Don't forget the 56 Cup Final.

Lazurus?

OK. Deportivo La Coruna 3 - 0 down at home to Paris SG with 33 minutes remaining in the Champions League March 2001 coming back to win 4 - 3.

Depor Vs AC Meeeeeeeelan.

What a match. Dont think i have ever seen a team attack with the composure of Depor. 4-0 on the night. 5-4 on agg.

The style of football played by Depor was brilliant. fast one touch and accurate. Would love to see them win it.
