Quote:
A second-half comeback gave Blackburn a 2-1 win away to Wisla Krakow and got their UEFA Cup group-stage campaign off to a flying start.
They trailed at the break thanks to a fortunate goal credited to Roberto Cantoro - his driven shot took a huge deflection off Tugay to leave keeper Brad Friedel stranded.
Rovers must have felt aggreived to be behind at the interval - Morten Gamst Pedersen should have put them ahead at 0-0, while shortly after the goal Shabani Nonda shot inches wide.
However, they soon set about retrieving the situation and levelled 11 minutes into the second half.
Savage rose to head home Bentley's fine cross from the right to make it 1-1.
Both sides tried to win the game in the closing stages, but it was Blackburn who grabbed the winner in the 90th minute.
Substitute Jason Roberts and Benni McCarthy both had shots well saved in the same move before Bentley finally found the net from the second rebound.

Without doubt, Blackburn played very well. Bentley was very impressive today, assist and scored one. Trying to impress McLaren perhaps.
