The Russians went back in front on 65 minutes through Yuri Zhirkov, but were denied even a draw by Rafael van der Vaart's crisp finish on 84 minutes and Boubacar Sanogo's late winner.

    Steaua Bucharest rocked Lyon after just three minutes at Stade Gerland when Nicolae Dica volleyed in from the edge of the area.

    Lyon, though, levelled on 12 minutes when Alou Diarra was givenspace to head home Kim Kallstrom's corner to consolidate their position at the top of Group E.

    Dynamo Kiev made the most of only having pride to play for after taking a 2-0 lead inside half an hour against Real Madrid.

    Maxim Shatskikh guided the ball home on 13 minutes and bundled home the second goal on 27 minutes.

    But Real rallied in the closing stages to claim a 2-2 draw after Ronaldo pulled one back and then equalised from the spot after being awarded a soft penalty.

    In Group H, Milan had already clinched top spot and could afford to field an under-strength team in losing 2-0 at home to Lille.

    Peter Odemwingie scored early, and Abdulkader Keita netted in the second half to take Lille through to the knockout phase

    Anderlecht could only avoid bottom spot if they won and Lille lost, and for a long time the Belgians were upholding their end of the bargain.

    Anthony vanden Borre put Anderlecht in front on 38 minutes and Nicolas Frutos added a second goal on 64 minutes.

    AEK then launched into a spirited comeback as Vassilis Lakis and Bruno Cirillo scored within the space of five minutes, but the Greeks were unable to find a winner and must settle for the UEFA Cup.
