Real Betis pulled off the shock of the night, upsetting English champion Chelsea 1-0. It was Chelsea's first lost in the competition and only its second in 16 games overall this season.
Chelsea was ousted from England's League Cup last week, losing to Charlton on a penalty shootout following a draw in regulation and extra time.
Thoroughly beaten 4-0 at Chelsea two weeks ago, Betis notched the victory on Dani Martin's goal in the 28th minute at Seville's Manuel Ruiz de Lopera stadium.
"We have nothing to argue with, we have no defense because the performance in the first half was too bad," Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said. "Betis deserved the victory because of their attitude in the first half, and how they defended in the second half.
"We are a great team," he added. "We weren't a great team tonight, but if we are a great team we have to return to our standards."
In the other Group G game, defending champion Liverpool beat Anderlecht 3-0 on goals from Fernando Morientes, Luis Garcia and Djibril Cisse.
Liverpool improved to 10 points to lead the group. Chelsea, the league leaders in England, stayed on seven points with Betis moving up to six. Had Chelsea won, both Liverpool and the Blues would have reached the knockout stage.
Two games remain in the group stage. The top two teams in each of the eight groups advance to the knockout round of 16.
Also, it was: PSV Eindhoven 1, AC Milan 0, and Schalke 2, Fenerbahce 0 in Group E; Artmedia Bratislava 2, Rangers 2, and Inter Milan 2, FC Porto 1 in Group H.
Lyon is the only team to win all four of its game. Arsenal and Bayern Munich could match the French club's feat on Wednesday. Norway international John Carew scored two with Juninho and Mahamadou Diarra scoring the others for Lyon.
Real Madrid went ahead 1-0 on an own-goal by Mikael Dorsin in the 26th, with Guti making it 2-0 in the 41st.
Martin was the hero in Seville, scoring just three minutes after replacing fellow striker Ricardo Oliveira. He took a pass from Jesus Capitan, beat Chelsea defender William Gallas and then scored behind goalkeeper Petr Cech.
Chelsea has failed to win in six straight away games in the Champions League.
Struggling in the English league, Liverpool's Morientes, Garcia and Cisse scored to overwhelm Anderlecht. Liverpool dominated every phase of the game and probably should have scored more.
In Group E, PSV took the lead over AC Milan on Jefferson Foran's early goal. PSV moved up to seven points and Milan stayed on five.
Schalke also moved up to five points, beating Fenerbahce 2-0 on Kevin Kuranyi's goal in the 32nd, and a second-half injury-time clincher by Ebbe Sand. Fenerbahce stayed on four points.
In Group H, Inter Milan neared the second stage with a 2-1 victory over Porto in an empty San Siro stadium. Inter leads the group with nine points.
Substitute Julio Ricardo Cruz scored twice to rally Inter to the victory after Hugo Almeida gave Porto a lead in the 16th. Porto stayed on three points.
The match was played behind closed doors as Inter served the third of a four-match ban. Its Champions League quarterfinal with AC Milan last season was suspended when a fan threw a flare that hit Milan goalkeeper Dida.
Rangers drew 2-2 at Artmedia Bratislava with both improving to five points. Dado Prso and Steven Thompson scored for Rangers, and Balazs Borbely and Jan Kozak answered for Artmedia.
On Wednesday, it's: FC Brugge vs. Rapid Vienna, and Juventus vs. Bayern Munich in Group A; Arsenal vs. Sparta Prague, and FC Thun vs. Ajax in Group B; FC Barcelona vs. Panathinaikos, and Werder Bremen vs. Udinese in Group C; Benfica vs. Villarreal, and Lille vs. Manchester United in Group D.
Four-time NBA all-star DeMarcus Cousins arrived in Taiwan with his family early yesterday to finish his renewed contract with the Taiwan Beer Leopards in the T1 League. Cousins initially played a four-game contract with the Leopards in January. On March 18, the Taoyuan-based team announced that Cousins had renewed his contract. “Hi what’s up Leopard fans, I’m back. I’m excited to be back and can’t wait to join the team,” Cousins said in a video posted on the Leopard’s Facebook page. “Most of all, can’t wait to see you guys, the fans, next weekend. So make sure you come out and support the Beer
Revelations of positive doping tests for nearly two dozen Chinese swimmers that went unpunished sparked an intense flurry of accusations and legal threats between the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the head of the US drug-fighting organization, who has long been one of WADA’s fiercest critics. WADA on Saturday said it was turning to legal counsel to address a statement released by US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart, who said WADA and anti-doping authorities in China swept positive tests “under the carpet by failing to fairly and evenly follow the global rules that apply to everyone else in the world.” The
Taiwanese judoka Yang Yung-wei on Saturday won silver in the men’s under-60kg category at the Asian Judo Championships in Hong Kong. Nicknamed the “judo heartthrob” in Taiwan, the Olympic silver-medalist missed out on his first Asian Championships gold when he lost to Japanese judoka Taiki Nakamura in the finals. Yang defeated three opponents on Saturday to reach the final after receiving a bye through the round of 32. He first topped Laotian Soukphaxay Sithisane in the round of 16 with two seoi nage (over-the-shoulder throws), then ousted Indian Vijay Kumar Yadav in the quarter-finals with his signature ude hishigi sankaku gatame (triangular armlock). He
Rafael Nadal on Wednesday said the upcoming French Open would be the moment to “give everything and die” on the court after his comeback from injury in Barcelona was curtailed by Alex de Minaur. The 22-time Grand Slam title winner, back playing this week after three months on the sidelines, battled well, but eventually crumbled 7-5, 6-1 against the world No. 11 from Australia in the second round. Nadal, 37, who missed virtually all of last season, is hoping to compete at the French Open next month where he is the record 14-time champion. The Spaniard said the clash with De Minaur was
