UEFA Champions League, Group F: Gunners, Napoli Pick Up Wins; Marseille Eliminated

Two games were contested on Wednesday in Group F of the UEFA Champions League.

At Dortmund, Germany:

Aaron Ramsey scored the only goal of the match in the 62nd minute (shown here as he beats Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller) as Arsenal defeated Borussia Dotmund 1-0 on the road.

At Naples, Italy:

Gonzalo Higuain scored twice (24', 75', that's him after celebrating his second ----and game-winning----goal) as Napoli kept pace with Arsenal atop the Group F standings (leval on points anyway) after their 3-2 home win over Marseille as the French club's hope of advancing to the knockout stage of the Champions League expired.
