UEFA Champions League, Group G: Chelsea Knock Out Dragons, Win Group; Dynamo Kiev In Knockout Stage Too

Two games were contested on Wednesday as Group F action in the UEFA Champions League came to a close.

At Kiev, Ukraine:
Dynamo grab chance to end knockout exile
Denis Garmash (that's him celebrating) scored the only goal of the match in the 16th minute as Dynamo Kiev laid claim to a Champions League knockout-stage berth with their 1-0 home win over Maccabi Tel Aviv as the Israeli club completed a perfectly awful campaign.

At London:

Ivan Marcano Sierra (OG-12') and Willian (52', that's him celebrating after scoring the insurance tally) each scored a goal as Chelsea won Group G and advanced to the Champions League's knockout stage by blanking (and relegating to the Europa League's Round of 32) visiting FC Porto 2-0.
