UCL Group G: Unirea Urziceni Stays Ahead of Stuttgart For Knockout Stage Berth As Both Teams Win


Group G action from Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League.

At Bucharest, Romania:

Ivica Dragutinovic's own goal (45') proved to be the difference as FC Unirea Urziceni stayed in second place in Group G with their 1-0 win over visiting (and knockout-stage-bound) Sevilla 1-0. We see happy Unirea players celebrating their big win.

At Glasgow, S
cotland:

Sebastian Rudy (16', that's him celebrating) and Zdravko Kuzmanovic (59') each tallied once as VfB Stuttgart stayed alive in the race for a berth in the round of 16 after their 2-0 road win over Rangers, knocking the Scottish champs out of European competition.
