Group A
Bayern Munich 1-0 Maccabi Haifa
A 62nd minute goal by Ivica Olic put Bayern ahead and Maccabi was never able to respond. The Israeli soccer team remains pointless after 5 rounds while Bayern is in 3rd place, behind Juventus and Bordeaux.
Bordeaux 2-0 Juventus
Two second half goals gave Bordeaux the win over Juventus and a stranglehold on 1st place in Group A with 13 points. Menegazzo (54') and Chamakh (90') scored for Bordeaux. Juventus are currently 5 points behind Bordeaux and need to win their last game in the group stages to advance.
Group B
CSKA Moscow 2-1 VfL Wolfsburg
Moscow came from behind to snag the win from Wolfsburg, who pulled ahead when Edin Dzeko scored in the 19th minute. However, Moscow scored two goals in 8 minutes in the second half to clinch the win and 3 points. Tomas Necid (58') and Milos Krasic (66') led Moscow to the win. The two teams are tied in points (7), though Wolfsburg is in 2nd place with more goals scored and less goals against them.
Besiktas 1-0 Manchester United
Much like Barcelona was upset by Rubin Kazan several weeks ago, so Manchester United was soundly defeated by the Turkish team Besiktas. Acutally, United was kind enough to give Besiktas their first win. Rodrigo Tello had the honor of scoring against United in the 20th minute. Personally I'd like to name this man as one of my favorite strikers of the tournament. The English giants are still in 1st place with 10 points with Wolfsburg and Moscow breathing down its neck. Besiktas now has 4 points.
Group C
AC Milan 1-1 Marseille
Although Milan was able to draw ahead 10 minutes in with a goal from Marco Boriello, Marseille responded six minutes later with a goal from Lucho Gonzalez. Milan is still one point behind Marseille in the standings (8 to 7), but Milan has to win their final game in the group stage in they want to advance in the tournament.
Real Madrid 1-0 FC Zurich
This was supposed to be CR9's big return after a month and a half out due to injury, and it was not the comeback the public expected, but at least the striker is fit and healthy again. It was actually Gonzalo Higuain who scored for the Spanish superteam, in the 21st minute. Real is still in 1st place with 10 points, two ahead of AC Milan. There's little hope for Zurich, who only has 3 points from an upset win against AC Milan.
Group D
Apoel Nicosia 1-1 Atletico Madrid
Mirosavljevic pulled off a quick score against Atletico 5 minutes in to pull them ahead. Luckily Simao was able to level in the 62nd to scrape together a draw and a point for Atletico, who will see an early exit from the tournament this year. So will Nicosia, who only have 2 points in 5 games.
Chelsea 1-0 FC Porto
Nicolas Anelka gave Chelsea the win in the 69th minute to clinch 3 points for Chelsea, who remain at the top of Group D. They are a solid 4 points ahead of 2nd place Porto who have 9 points. Both teams are guaranteed to continue in the tournament.
