A two-goal performance by Cristiano Ronaldo gave Real Madrid a 3-1 win at Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday, keeping the defending champions at the top of Group H along with Tottenham, which defeated APOEL 3-0 in Cyprus for its second consecutive victory.
Liverpool was held to a 1-1 draw at Spartak Moscow to remain winless after two matches, while Manchester City made it two wins in a row with a 2-0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in England.
FC Porto picked up a stunning 3-0 victory at Monaco, while Sevilla easily defeated Maribor of Slovenia 3-0 in Spain.
Here is a look at Tuesday’s games:
GROUP E. Sevilla took the group lead with the comfortable home win against Maribor, while Liverpool stumbled to its second consecutive draw.
Wissam Ben Yedder scored a hat trick in Sevilla’s victory, find- ing the net twice in the first half and converting a late penalty. He had also scored one of the team’s goals in the 2-2 draw at Liverpool in the first match.
Missed chances were costly for Liverpool as it dropped points again in Russia, where the hosts opened the scoring with a free kick by Fernando before Philippe Coutinho equalized a few minutes later.
Spartak looks set for more UEFA punishment after its fans displayed a banner reading “UEFA mafia” and set off smoke bombs. They were protesting UEFA’s decision to punish the club for a flare fired at the referee during the club’s previous Champions League fixture.
