UEFA Champions League, Group B: Juve Prevent Galacticos From Clinching Round-Of-16 Berth; Early Goal Keeps Lions Alive For Knockout Stage

Two games were contested in Group B of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.

At Turin, Italy:

Goals from Arturo Vidal (PK-40') and Fernando Liorente (65', that's him scoring here) enabled Juventus to salvage a 2-2 home draw with Real Madrid, preventing the visitors from locking up a berth in the knockout stage.  Cristiano Ronaldo (52') and Gareth Bale (60') provided the scoring for Los Galacticos, who only need one more point from their final two games to advance to the Round of 16.


At Copenhagen, Denmark:

Daniel Braaten's goal in the sixth minute (that's him celebrating with teammates) held up as FC Copenhagen moved level on points with visiting Galatasaray for second place in Group B after their 1-0 victory.
