UEFA Champions League, Group H: Dragons Seal BATE's CL Fate With Dominating Second Half In Belarus

Two Group H contests took place in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.

At Barsaw, Belerus:
Herrera pulls the strings as Porto march on
Hector Herrera (56', that's him on the left), Jackson Martinez (65'), and Cristian Tello (85') each delivered a second-half goal as FC Porto broke open what was at halftime a scoreless stalemate and ended up blowing out FC BATE Borisov 3-0 on the road, ending any hope the Belorussian club had of advancing to the Champions League's knockout stage while locking up the Group H title themselves.
