Ajax, Germans happier

AFP, Paris
Dutch giants Ajax deservedly beat French side Auxerre 1-0 but their win was marred by a racist banner that greeted the visitors' Ivory Coast striker Bonaventure Kalou on Wednesday in their UEFA Cup third round first leg clash.
Kalou, who used to play for Ajax's bitter rivals Feyenoord, ran out onto the pitch to see a banner saying 'Kalou is invited to a banana tree' which showed that football's current campaign against racism has some way to go to win its battle.
Feyenoord themselves will be relatively happy to have come away with just a 2-1 defeat away at Sporting Lisbon, though the hosts played the last 25 minutes with 10 men after Portuguese midfielder Custodio was sent off for a second bookable offence. Elsewhere German sides enjoyed a relatively successful evening as both VfB Stuttgart and Schalke 04 clinched away draws.
Stuttgart drew 0-0 with twotime UEFA Cup champions Parma while Schalke 04 drew 1-1 with Shakhtar Donetsk, the German side's Brazilian marksman Ailton scoring their goal before allowing the hosts get a late equaliser.
Former Parma coach Alberto Malesani was hired as Greek champions Panathinaikos coach
on Wednesday but will not officially take charge of his first match till Saturday.
However, the Italian coach -who won the 1999 UEFA Cup with Parma - will have been encouraged to see his new team record a 1-0 victory over highflying Spanish side Sevilla.
Sevilla's Spanish rivals, Valencia, gave embattled coach Claudio Ranieri some relief as they won 2-0 at home to Romanian outfit Steaua Bucharest with goals from Ranieri's Italian compatriot Marco di Vaio and Argentinian ace Pablo Aimar.
Brazilian midfielder Maxwell was the Ajax hero as he gave the Dutch side a slender lead over the French side coached by the doyen of European managers Guy Roux.
The silver-booted Maxwell struck with a beautifully worked goal in the 36th minute in a match where the hosts dominated and will feel hard done by in only taking a single goal advantage to France next week for the second leg.
Maxwell ran deep into the Auxerre half before passing it to Dutch international Rafael van der Vaart whose superb backheel found the Brazilian in the box and he lashed it past Fabien Cool.
Ajax substitute Daniel de Ridder went closest to extending their lead in the late stages of the second-half as escaping his marker he met the ball on the volley but Cool produced a sharp
reflex save to turn it away for a corner.
Roux, 66, said that while he was pleased they had kept the tie alive he saw a clear difference between the two sides.
"A lot of the players lack top level international experience and it was clear tonight," said Roux, who has guided Auxerre to two league and Cup doubles.
Ajax coach Ronald Koeman was pleased with the result but was less happy to have lost another first choice player for a long time, South African midfielder Steven Pienaar who picked up a knee injury.
"That is another key player we have lost," said the former Dutch footballing great.
"The second leg should be more open because they will have to go on the offensive and that will create more space for us ...so we must take advantage of that."
With one eye on their domestic battle against relegation, Parma left several key players out of their starting line-up, including star striker Alberto Gilardino, scorer of 12 league goals this season.
Stuttgart, flying high in fifth place in the Bundesliga and coached by former Inter Milan midfielder Matthias Sammer, went closest to scoring when Brazilian striker Cacau's goalbound shot was scrambled off the line by veteran defender Giuseppe Cardone.
"I believe it shows the management still have faith in me, and anyway I would not have wanted
to leave. If the club had told me about this offer I would have told them I didn't want to go. It's as simple as that.
"I don't think the Newcastle fans have seen the best of me yet. Now is my chance."
