Juve, Barca, Chelsea, Sevilla advance
    2020-11-26  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

JUVENTUS, Barcelona, Chelsea and Sevilla all reached the knockout stage of the Champions League with two matches to spare Tuesday.

Alvaro Morata scored in injury time to send Juventus through with a 2-1 win at home over Hungarian team Ferencvaros, ensuring the Italian champion finished at least second in Group G.

Barcelona tops the group and booked its spot in the last 16 for the 17th straight season with a comfortable 4-0 victory over Dynamo Kyiv despite the absence of Lionel Messi, Frenkie de Jong and a number of others.

Both Chelsea and Sevilla left it late to advance from Group E. Olivier Giroud came off the bench to score an injury-time header as Chelsea won 2-1 at Rennes, and Munir El Haddadi scored in the final minute of stoppage time as Sevilla defeated Russian newcomer Krasnodar 2-1 away.

Elsewhere, Erling Haaland maintained his remarkable scoring pace with two goals to put Borussia Dortmund in touch of reaching the last 16 with a 3-0 win at home over Club Brugge.

United States right back Sergino Dest scored his first goal for Barcelona and another American, 19-year-old forward Konrad de la Fuente, came on as a substitute in Kyiv for his debut.

It was only the second time two Americans played together for a club in the Champions League.

Tim Howard and Jonathan Spector played for Manchester United against Fenerbahce on Dec. 8, 2004.

Martin Braithwaite scored twice and Antoine Griezmann grabbed the other as Barcelona secured its fourth win in four games from Group G. It currently has a three-point lead over Juventus.

Barcelona was without the injured Sergio Busquets, Gerard Pique and Sergi Roberto.

Sevilla qualifying for the last 16 means the Spanish side cannot defend its Europa League title, as only the third-place finishers in each group enjoy the cushion of playing in Europe’s secondary competition.

Both Sevilla and Chelsea have 10 points in Group E, while Krasnodar and Rennes stayed at one point each after four matches.

Haaland took his tally to 16 goals in 12 Champions League games in Dortmund’s 3-0 win over Brugge, while Jadon Sancho scored an eye-catching free kick to put the German side on course to qualify from Group F.

Bruno Fernandes scored two early goals in Manchester United’s 4-1 win over Istanbul Basaksehir, keeping the Premier League team on track to qualify from Group H.
