Malaga were set to head back home trailing in their Round of 16 Copa del Rey series, but Oguchi Onyewu came to the rescue to ensure that did not happen.
Onyewu scored a stoppage-time equalizer to give Malaga a 1-1 tie against third tier SD Eibar in the first leg of their Copa del Rey series on Tuesday. Onyewu netted his second goal of the competition in the 93rd minute, and Malaga now looks a safe bet to advance to the quarterfinals as they host the decisive leg on Jan. 8.
Jozy Altidore also found the back of the net on Tuesday for AZ Alkmaar, scoring the club’s second goal in a 4-2 victory over FC Dordrecht in the Round of 16 of KNVB Becker. Altidore netted his 15th goal across all competitions and third in four days with an impressive dribbling run, and AZ is now through to the quarterfinals.
Jermaine Jones and Schalke 04 were not as fortunate, as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Mainz in the DFB Pokal Round of 16. Jones went the distance and earned a yellow card as Schalke were eliminated from the tournament at home.
What do you think of Onyewu and Altidore’s goals? Surprised by Jones and Schalke’s elimination?

Congrats on the goals fellas, your still not going to be on any National Team rosters any time soon. Well maybe Lazy Altisnore.
U must have no clue
That goes on the highlight real for Jozy! I also love his tendency to get hot and score in bunches.
another excellent goal by jozy. you don’t see any national team player scoring like that. nice.
Altidinho?
Jones got a yellow card? No way!
He didn’t just get a yellow card he “earned” it. He does seem to put a lot of effort into earning those cards.
I just can’t get behind these hoops…
They make Gooch look burly

Wow, that goalie on Onyewu’s goal was insane. Tried to get to a free kick at the edge of a very crowded box, Onyewu had an empty net to head into. Poor goalie.
Poor goalie, indeed.
It seemed like every highlight on that reel was the keeper running out to the top of the box.
Felt bad for Gooch’s teammate… dude got crushed.
Yea not sure what the goalie was thinking. As for Jozy, well played sir, well played.
Wow. sounds like Malaga put out a weaker side against this third level group but any goal from a defender is a bonus…congrats to Gooch.
That’s why Onyewu was out there 😉
Pure, utter class.
I also meant to say “Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooch!”
I don’t get why he is not in the conversation for USMNT. He is better than most of the up and coming players that everyone is bandying about. Don’t get it.
He’s also older, slower, and much more injury prone than all of the up and comers.
I just wish this guy would work hard, fix his touch and learn to finish
Granted
Good goal by Jozy! Hope he continues to develop and can bring the form back to US Nat’l Team games
Great finish (sincerely) against FC Los Anglels Lakers.
Me likey! I appreciate the footwork (touch, feint, cutback) and PULLING the trigger when the better opportunity arrived!
Well-worked and a nice finish.
