Movsisyan Brilliant Once Again

Highlights are here, and start in earnest at about the 1:00 minute mark. Watch all of them; Yura is very influential on the proceedings. I had never underestimated a player that much before. He better get his U.S. citizenship before one of Azerbaijan (where he was born) or Armenia (where his roots lie), for both of whom he is presumably eligible, caps him.

Yura Movsisyan: Unbelievable First Touch

Here.

That touch with his heel on the winning goal defies belief. The clip of the goal starts at 1:55. Enjoy!

Scott Sealy starts, goes 83 minutes

Scott Sealy is in Bnei Sakhnin's red

Sealy starts, receives red card

Here's the summary of the game, and the red card incident specifically, courtesy of Haaretz:

Maccabi Tel Aviv yesterday finally stitched together a two-match winning streak by defeating Bnei Sakhnin 3-0 in Sakhnin's Doha Stadium. The drama was not so much in the result, as in an incident at the end of the first half which resulted in the dismissal of Maccabi manager Avi Nimni. In the 44th minute, it looked like Tel Aviv's Scott Sealy either pushed or brushed by Sakhnin defender Paty Yeye Lenkebe. At first the referee, Eli Hahmon, carded Lenkebe for faking the hit, but after consulting the linesman retracted the card and dismissed Sealy. Nimni exchanged words with the referee at halftime, prompting the latter to send him off the pitch as well. Lior Jan then received his second yellow card eight minutes into the final half, leaving Tel Aviv with only nine players on the pitch. Earlier, Moshe Mishaelof had headed in Tel Aviv's first goal in the 33rd minute from a free kick by Maor Buzaglo. Playing shorthanded, however, did not deter Tel Aviv, which broke out on the attack in the 86th minute and went 2-0 ahead on a goal by substitute Dulee Johnson from a pass from Ilya Yavruyan. Mishaelof finished off the scoring in the 90th minute with his second goal of the night.

Scott Sealy involved in Maccabi Tel-Aviv's victory

Sealy came on in the 69th minute with the score 2:1 in favor of his team against Hapoel Kiryat-Shmone. One minute later it was 3:1, and it proved the winning margin as the game ended 3:2. UPDATE: Highlights are here (clicking opens Windows Media Player). While my namesake scores a couple of goals for Maccabi prior to Sealy's entrance, the Sealy-related highlights, including a shot of his family in the stands, start at exactly 3:00 of the clip. Maccabi is now easily safe as they're 12 points outside the drop zone with eight games to play.

In other news, Michael Parkhurst played the entire game against FCK, the league leaders, only to be on the wrong side of a 3:0 drubbing. Parkhurst's club FCN is now only four points outside the drop zone.

Scott Sealy's late sub in Maccabi Tel-Aviv's draw against Hakoach Ramat-Gan

I haven't done a Scott Sealy update in a while, but that's partly because he hasn't done much recently. However, if you didn't cheat on your Bar Mitzvah, you can confirm here that this Saturday he came on in the 82nd minute. He's still on one goal and one assist in the league. His team is uncharacteristically struggling this season - they're eighth out of 12.

Also, to confirm for any readers that may be curious, Sealy is not in the squad for Trinidad & Tobago for the WCQ clash with Honduras on Saturday and, presumably, with the United States the following Wednesday.

Parkhurst goes 90 in draw, White 77 in defeat

A foul on Parkhurst seems to have resulted in a red card early on. White had the assist on the goal in the 1st minute. See highlights here and here, respectively.

Marcus Tracy makes the bench but does not play in AaB's win.

Scott Sealy at Maccabi (interview and highlights)

First interview as a Maccabi player: http://one.co.il/Article/131484.html

I had to click "Play" three times before Sealy begins answering questions, so be patient. P.S. When was the last time this Maccabi was in the Champions' League?

UPDATE: he had the game-tying assist against the league leaders in his first game!!!

UPDATE 2: Highlights are here (opens Windows Media Player if you hold Ctrl and click). His team are in yellow/blue. Unless you want to see the opening goal (which was spectacular), fast forward to 2:20, when Scott comes in.
