Футболдан ел кубогын сарапқа салып жатқан төрт команда кеше жартылай финалдың қарымта ойындарын өткізді. Қазақстан чемпионы Ақтөбе Қарағандыда «Шахтермен» кездесіп, 2:0 есебімен ұтылып қалды. Қосымша уақытқа дейін созылған матчта алаң иелері ақтық сынға жолдама алды.

Сарыарқаның сары аязына қарамай, Шахтер-Ақтөбе кездесуіне он мыңға жуық жанкүйер жиналды. Биылғы біріншіліктің алтын және қола жүлделерін ұтып алған қос команданың бәсекесі көптің күткеніндей тартысқа толы болды. Алғашқы матчта 1:0 есебімен жеңіске жеткен ел чемпиондары қарымта ойынды да ширақ бастады. Алайда қауіпті шабуылды бірінші болып алаң иелері ұйымдастырды. Руслан Кенетаев Ақтөбе қорғаушыларын алдап өтіп, Финонченкоға допты жеткізген, бірақ Андрейдің соққысы қақпадан сәл қиыс кетті. Қазақстан чемпиондары да қарымта шабуылмен жауап қатты. Евгений Аверченко белсенді ойнап, бірнеше рет Кеншілердің қақпасын нысанаға алды.

Шахтердің ендігі қарсыласы Атырау футболшылары. Талдықорғанның Жетісуын қабылдаған Вахид Масудов шәкірттері төрт күн бұрын Алматы облысының командасын өз алаңында 2:0 есебімен ұтқан болатын. Чемпионатта бесінші, алтыншы орындарды қанағат қылған Жетісу мен Атырау алғашқы таймда есеп ашудың жолын таппады. Негізгі тартыс, екінші таймның соңғы жиырма минутында өтті. Ерзат Кенбаев гол соғып, Жетісуды алға шығарып, арадағы есепті қысқартқан еді. Алайда Талдықорған футболшыларының үмітін Денис Зубко үзді. Ол сегіз минуттан кейін есепті теңестірсе, Бауыржан Жолшиевте белсеніп, Атырау 2:1 есебімен жеңіске жетті. Енді осы жексенбінің кешінде Астана аренасында Шахтер мен Атырау өзара ел кубогының иегерін анықтайды.

A Olympic athletes had to be male, of Greek nationality, and not slaves. They promised to complete in an honourable way and to follow the rules but some athletes still cheated. If caught, they had to pay a large fine and this money was used to pay for statues of Zeus, which were located along the route to the stadium with the name of cheat on each base. To get to the stadium, the athletes had to walk past al the statues.

B Unlike the modern Olympics, which currently includes 35 sports and nearly 400 events, many of which are team sports such as football and basketball, the ancient Games only included individual events. Seven types of events took place in the stadium, including running, discus, javelin, long jump, wrestling, and boxing. There was also chariot racing and horse riding in the hippodrome.

C The Olympic Games became a major sports event but the Roman Emperor Theodosius I finally decided to ban the Olympic Games in 393 AD after more than 1 000 years of existence because he thought they were a pagan cult. Gradually the site disappeared and was forgotten. However, in the 19th century archaeological work finally revealed the ruins of Olympia and, today, visitors can appreciate Olympia and imagine the past glory of the Games.

Article 1

Jailed because of a cough!

As the foreman of the jury got to his feet to deliver his verdict at the climax of the two-day trial, the traditional tense silence descended on the court.

For the defendant Alan Rashid, it was the moment of truth. Unfortunately for him it was also the moment when a member of the jury couldn’t control the tickle in the back of his throat any longer. He suddenly coughed just at the moment when the foreman declared Mr Rashid ‘not guilty’. Because of the cough nobody heard the word ‘not’ – so in an instant an innocent man was turned into a convicted criminal!

As 32-year-old Mr Rashid, who is unemployed, stood devastated in the dock – and with the puzzled jury wondering what on earth was going on – Judge Michael Gibbon jailed him for two years on a charge of making a threat to kill. Mr Rashid’s lawyer tried to console him as he was taken to the court cells to wait for the van to take him to prison. Judge Gibbon then thanked the jurors at Cardiff Crown Court for their efforts during the trial and let them go.

But as they walked out of court a puzzled member of jury asked a court official why Mr Rashid had been sentenced for two years after being found not guilty. The official immediately realized there had been a mistake and called everyone back to court. Mr Rashid was taken back into the dock and Judge Gibbon told him he was free to go. Mr Rashid’s lawyer said afterwards, ‘He was totally confused. One moment he was facing two years in prison and next he was going home on the bus.’

Article 2

Juror’s cough clears throat but jails innocent man

A man found not guilty by a jury was jailed by mistake because somebody coughed as the foreman delivered the verdict.

Judge Michael Gibbon sentenced Alan Rashid to two years’ imprisonment believing he has been found guilty of making a threat to kill. But the ill-timed cough drowned out the vital word ‘not’, leaving the court and defendant convinced that he had been convicted. Judge Gibbon, 68, told Rashid ‘The maximum sentence for making a threat to kill is ten years. Taking everything into consideration, the least sentence I can give you is two years ‘imprisonment’.

Mr Rashid, 32, of Llanrumney, Cardiff, was led to the cells at Cardiff Crown Court and the judge discharged the jury. But as Mr Rashid waited for a van to take him to jail, a mystified juror asked a court usher why a man they had acquitted was being imprisoned. The court was hastily reconvened and Mr Rashid was freed.

Nicholas Williamson, the court manager, said, ‘It was very bizarre. The jury foreman indicated a guilty verdict and the court proceeded to sentence the defendant. One of the jurors was puzzled why he was jailed after being found not guilty, and the judge was informed. Mr Rashid was a very relieved man when the judge explained what had happened.’

Jurors had not spoken up earlier during the hearing on Wednesday because they believed that Mr Rashid had been convicted of other offences
