UEFA Champions League, Group E: Sevilla, Liverpool Post Home Wins

Eight games were contested in the UEFA Champions League's group stage, including two in Group E.

At Seville, Spain: 

Ever Banega scored the winning goal in the 59th minute as Sevilla defeated visiting Spartak Moscow 2-1.  Here, we see Spartak's Ze Luis (second from right) celebrating after scoring his club's lone goal in the 78th minute as the Russian club staged a frantic, but, ultimately unsuccessful comeback again.
