Fook!!!

Zenit already a different team to two weeks ago.

Could be a long night for Dundalk ahead.

Couple of Derry fans living in Moscow are at it. Managed to get Dundalk end tickets too, handily enough.

Rogers almost went.

No ice and that's a goal.

Zenit having a very dangerous spell last 10. Dundalk, as ever, playing some nice stuff at times. Missed the first 15 mins or so getting home from work.

Argh... worst type of goal to concede again

**TheOneWhoKnocks** · 03/11/2016, 5:44 PM

It would be Gartland.

**osarusan** · 03/11/2016, 5:44 PM

Horrendous goal to give away after all that.

**pineapple stu** · 03/11/2016, 5:44 PM

That was coming unfortunately, though Dundalk are playing ok all things considered.

Does goal difference or head-to-head decide places (after points)?

**osarusan** · 03/11/2016, 5:45 PM

Martin Russell would have been proud of how they conceded that one.

**bennocelt** · 03/11/2016, 5:47 PM

ah man, just like the last game why did they need to pass it back so short........

**passinginterest** · 03/11/2016, 5:48 PM

They'll be glad of half time anyway, composure was lost a bit there. I've been saying to anyone I was speaking to today that losing 3-0 or better is still a very respectable result. Not completely out of it yet either, especially if Zenit thinks it's won now and come out complacent.

0-0 in Israel at half time, which has to suit Dundalk

Would still be 2nd as is if head to head is the deciding factor.

Goal difference and then goals scored as far as I'm aware.

Just checking wiki there and that's right - although livescore are showing Dundalk in third at present.

But basically, a hammering not the end of the world here. Hopefully it won't happen of course, but obviously zenit have shown they know where the net is; they're easily top scorers in the groups.
