UEFA Champions League, Group C: Olympiacos To Join PSG In UCL Knockout Stage; Eagles To Europa League

Two games were played on Tuesday as Group C action in the UEFA Champions League came to a close.

At Lisbon, Portugal:
Goals from Rodrigo Jose Lima dos Santos (PK-45', shown here) and Nicolas Gaitan (58') enabled SL Benfica to come from behind to top visiting Paris Saint-Germain.  The win wasn't enough, though, for the Eagles as Olympiacos' victory over Anderlecht consigned the Portugese club to the Europa League's knockout stage.

At Piraeus, Greece:
Javier Saviola scored twice (33', 58', that's him) against his former team as Olympiacos laid claim to a Champions League knockout-stage berth with a 3-1 home win over RSC Anderlecth.
