WINNER:
American goalkeeper BRAD FRIEDEL helped Blackburn advance to the quarterfinals of the English FA Cup thanks to a 2-1 win over Burnley. Former D.C. United defender Ryan Nelsen of New Zealand wore the captain's band for Blackburn, which faces Leicester City in the quarterfinals on the weekend of March 12.
LOSER:
American defender STEVE CHERUNDOLO was ejected in the 78th minute for his second yellow card (hand ball) as Hannover 96 fell, 3-1, in the quarterfinals of the German Cup. All the scoring took place before Cherundolo's ejection.
