He is exciting fans playing for the full Brazilian side at the moment and the young Coutinho is also exciting Charlton fans here after his freekick found the back of the net on 32 minutes to make it

Flamengo 4 Portuguesa 0 Astori on 34 minutes. Blackburn 1 Leeds 0 Belezoglu benefitting from his recent review it would seem. Lazio 0 Juventus 1 Adriano scores again from left wing back, quite prolific.
Monaco 0 Etienne 1 Meghni freekick breaks the deadlock here on 36 minutes. Celtic 1 Rangers 0 Delgado freekick giving the home side a shock lead in the big Glasgow derby.
