Two game in Group C of the UEFA Champions League were contested on Wednesday.

At Brussels, Belgium:

Rodrigo Moreno Machado scored the winning goal in the 90th minute as SL Benfica remained very much alive in the race for a Champions League knockout-stage berth with a 3-2 road win over RSC Anderlecht, eliminating the hosts from European competition.  Here's the Eagles' Nemanja Matic using his noggin (he scored in the 34th minute).

At Paris:

Edinson Cavani scored the winning goal in the 90th minute as ten-man Paris Saint-Germain, already bound for the knockout stage, clinched the Group C title with a 2-1 home win over Olympiacos.  Yep, that's ol' Edinson being mobbed by teammates after he scored his late winner.
