November 22, 2016
CSKA Moscow 1-1 Bayer Leverkusen
Bebras Natcho 78(pen) Kevin Volland 16’
A point was enough to see Bayer Leverkusen in the next round of the UEFA Champions League.
Dinamo Zagreb 0-1 Lyon
Alexandre Lacazette 72’
Lacazette’s second half goal for Lyon has given the team a good shot of advancing to the second round of the UCL. A healthy home win over Sevilla should send them there.
Sevilla 1-3 Juventus
Nicolas Pareja 9’ Claudio Marchisio 45’+2’(pen)
Leonardo Bonucci 84’
Mario Mandzukic 90’+4’
A victory for Sevilla would have guaranteed that they finished as group leaders in Group H, but Juventus had other plans.
The home defeat leaves Sevilla in a position where they can’t afford defeat in their final group stage match against Lyon.

Shinji Okazaki 5’ Jose Izquierdo 52’

The results handed Club Brugge their fifth consecutive defeat in the champions league. One more match remains for the team to try and exit the competition with at least a point.
Copenhagen 0-0 Porto
With the winless Club Brugge as their next UCL fixture, Copenhagen gave themselves a chance by holding Porto to a goalless draw at home.
A victory for Copenhagen and a victory for Leicester City against Porto would be the results Copenhagen would be hoping for in the final round of the UCL group stage.

Djibril Sidibe 48’ Harry Kane 52’
Thomas Lemar 53’

It was a twelve goal thriller when Borussia Dortmund welcomed Legia Warsaw. The first 30 minutes of the match gave us an indication as to how big the final result was going to look. Half of the goals scored in this fixture was scored in the first 30 minutes.

Cent Tosun 58’ Goncalo Guedes 10’
Ricardo Quaresma 83’(pen) Nelsinho 25
Vincent Aboubaker 89’ Ljubomir Fejsa 31’
If you can do it in one half, they can also do it in another.
Benfica blew a three goal lead and a chance to top Group B to settle for a point away at Besiktas.
With Benfica and Napoli facing each other in the final round of the group stage, Besiktas is in a great situation is they can find a victory over a winless Dynamo Kyiv.
