Groups EFGH played yesterday

 

Groups EFGH played Tuesday in the Champions League Matchday Two. A bad day for CSKA, going bottom of the group with one point out of six, after being beaten in Moscow by Spurs. Monaco leads Group E, while Dortmund and Real Madrid head group F, Cristiano Ronaldo getting his 95th Champions League goal.

 

In Group G, Leicester City has six points out of six after beating FC Porto. The Portuguese side dominated the game but as usual could not translate superiority into goals. In Group H, Juve and Sevilla are in front with 4 points.
