    Tottenham Hotspurs vs Sporting Lisbon - Barclays New York Challenge


    Red Bull Arena
    1pm ESY


    Even I have underestimated this one myself. What they call a pre-season friendly turned out to be an action-packed 90 minutes. The stadium atmosphere was excellent. Someone even mentioned that this has to be one of the best matches hosted in the US. Robbie Keane started it off with a 23' goal but immediately responded by Matias Fernandes just 2 minutes later for Sporting. Right after halftime on the 47' Jaime Valdes put one in for Sporting. Later returned by young spurs star Jonathan Obika who was named Man of the Match at the end. 2-2 draw. This has the most exciting post-world cup matches I have seen
