At Basel, Switzerland:

Bastian  Schweinsteiger scored twice in the second half (PK-56', 89', that's him celebrating after scoring that last goal) as Bayern Munich, coming off a home weekend Bundesliga defeat at the hands of Mainz, bounced back with a come-from-behind 2-1 win on the road over FC Basel.

At Rome:

Philippe Mexes (69', that's him celebrating) and Marco Borriello (71') provided the scoring as AS Roma held off visiting CFR Cluj 2-1.
