UEFA Champions League, Group H: Spurs Advance To Knockout Stage; Dortmund Held To Home Draw By APOEL

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

At Dortmund, Germany:

Mickael Pote's equalizer in the 51st minute (celebrated by teammates, as shown here) lifted APOEL FC to a 1-1 road draw with Borussia Dortmund.  Raphael Guerreiro scored for the German club, who like their guests, are on the verge of elimination from the tournament, in the 29th minute.

At London:

Christian Eriksen scored the winning goal in the 65th minute as Tottenham Hotspur locked up a berth in the knockout stage after their 2-1 victory over visiting Real Madrid, who are still in good shape to advance themselves.  Here's ol' Christian being mobbed by happy teammate Harry Kane after his goal that sent the London club into the Round of 16.
