Two games were played in Group H of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.
At Istanbul, Turkey:
Burak Yilmaz (that's him celebrating with coach Fatih Terim) scored the only goal of the match in the 52nd minute as Galatasaray stayed in the thick of the race for the second and final knockout-stage berth from Group H following their 1-0 home win over already Round-of-16-bound Manchester United.
At Cluj-Napoca, Romania:
Rui Pedro's hat trick in the first half (7', 15', 33', that's him mobbed by overjoyed teammates) as CFR Cluj defeated Sporting Braga 3-1 to knock the Portuguese club out of European competition.
