Action from Group F of the UEFA Champions League  concluded on Wednesday with two games.

At Kiev, Ukraine (due to martial law in parts of Ukraine):


Nabil Fekir's equalizer in the 65th minute lifted Lyon to a 1-1 road draw with Shakhtar Donetsk--and a berth in the Champions League's knockout stage.

Junior Moraes scored for the now Europa League-bound Ukrainian club in the 22nd minute.

No, that's not Lyon coach Bruno Genesio attempting a comeback as a player here.
