UEFA Champions League, Group C: Eagles, Leverkusen Rack Up Tuesday Wins

Two Group C games were played in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.

At Saint Petersburg, Russia:

Son Heung-min scored twice (68', 73') as Bayer Leverkusen held off Zenit Saint Petersburg 2-1 on the road, putting the German club on the cusp of advancing to the knockout stage.  Here's a remorseful Zenit head coach Andreas Villas-Boaz seen here being interviewed following the defeat.

At Lisbon:

Talisca (that's him celebrating) scored the only goal of the match in the 82nd minute as SL Benfica stayed very much in the race for a berth in the knockout stage following their 1-0 home win over AS Monaco.
