Last night Lyon won at Monaco 3-0 , getting even more closer to their 7th consecutive title.Keita burried the hopes of the home team from the 20th minute when scoring his first goal of the game, and he closed the game at 3-0 with his second goal in the 38th minute.Fred scored in the 35th minute for a win that ensures the crown for Lyon 90%.
Bordeaux won tonight 3-0 their game against Strasbourg but they are still 6 points far from Lyon and they aren’t looking quite convincing in their play.
K. Boyd was the hero of the game Dundee United-Glasgow Rangers played today in the CIS Cup final.
Rangers came back twice from 1-0 and 2-1 thanks to an outstanding performance signed by Boyd.The funny fact is that Boyd is a regular SUBSTITUTE in the average Rangers match.He also scored the winning penalty for a 3-2 win at the penalty kicks for the Glasgow team.
The win is even more surprising if you consider that Rangers had a rough match at Bremen just Thursday.Did that game bring a burning desire of being in the first 11 for Boyd? 
Last night ,during the Betis-Bilbao game in Primera,the away team goalkeeper got hit in the head in the 72nd minute by a Betis fan with a plastic bottle.Armando needed intense medical care to heal the wound from under his eye,but his life wasn’t in danger.
