Coach Zico hailed Fenerbahce striker Deivid for overcoming his own goal to score the winner in their 2-1 Champions League quarter-final victory over Chelsea on Wednesday.

Deivid deflected Florent Malouda's cross into his own net in the 13th minute but made amends in the first leg game by blasting home an 81st minute winner.

"Today's own goal could have happened to anyone... Deivid clearly decided he would go on to win the game for himself," the Brazilian coach said of his compatriot.

He also gave credit to goalkeeper Volkan Demirel for a string of saves which kept the Turkish side in the match.

Fenerbahce came back strongly after a weak start to the game, Zico told Turkish television.

"We started hastily and were nervous, maybe because we were in this position for the first time. After conceding the goal we were in shock and the players became more uneasy," he said.

"Those who saw the first half would say there is no way this game could turn in favour of Fenerbahce. But that's exactly what we saw," he said.

"After we got the equaliser, we started to trust in ourselves more. I'm very pleased with the players' performances."

Chelsea coach Avram Grant told a news conference he was disappointed with the outcome.

"This was a match in which we needed to score more goals, but this is football and if you sleep for one minute things are suddenly equal," he said.

"We will play at home and we can win this game. If we can keep up this kind of performance it will be good," he said.
