UEFA Champions League, Group H: Dragons Advance To Knockout Stage; Shakhtar Blast BATE

Two Group H matches were played in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.

At Lviv, Ukraine:

Luiz Adriano produced a second-half hat trick (PK-58', 83', 90'+3, that's him celebrating after completing his triple) as Shakhtar Donetsk placed themselves on the cusp of advancing to the group stage following their 5-0 demolition of visiting FC BATE Borisov.

At Bilbao, Spain:

Jackson Martinez (56', that's him on his knees looking to the heavens after scoring) and Yacine Brahimi (73') each scored a goal as FC Porto clinched a berth in the group stage with a 2-0 home win over Athletic Bilbao, knocking the Spanish club out of the tournament.
