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.
Bologna on Thursday advanced past Empoli to reach their first Coppa Italia final in more than half a century. Thijs Dallinga’s 87th-minute header earned Bologna a 2-1 win and his side advanced 5-1 on aggregate. Giovanni Fabbian opened the scoring for Bologna with a header seven minutes in. Then Viktor Kovalenko equalized for Empoli in the 30th minute by turning in a rebound to finish off a counterattack. Bologna won the first leg 3-0. In the May 14 final in Rome, Bologna are to face AC Milan, who eliminated city rivals Inter 4-1 on aggregate following a 3-0 win on Wednesday. Bologna last reached the
If the Wild finally break through and win their first playoff series in a decade, Minnesota’s top line likely will be the reason. They were all over the Golden Knights through the first two games of their NHL Western Conference quarter-finals series, which was 1-1 going back to Minnesota for Game 3 today. The Wild tied the series with a 5-2 win on Tuesday. Matt Boldy had three goals and an assist in the first two games, while Kirill Kaprizov produced two goals and three assists. Joel Eriksson Ek, who centers the line, has yet to get on the scoresheet. “I think the biggest
The Minnesota Timberwolves, with so many promising performances spoiled by late mistakes fresh in their memory bank, sure timed this strong finish well. Jaden McDaniels scored a career playoff-high 30 points and spearheaded Minnesota’s stifling defense on an ailing Luka Doncic, and the Timberwolves beat the Los Angeles Lakers 116-104 to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven Western Conference first-round series in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Friday night. “Jaden never looks tired. He looks like he could play 48 minutes,” said teammate Anthony Edwards, who had 29 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. Julius Randle added 22 points for the Wolves, who outscored
From a commemorative jersey to a stadium in his name, Argentine soccer organizers are planning a slew of tributes to their late “Captain” Pope Francis, eulogized as the ultimate team player. Tributes to the Argentine pontiff, a lifelong lover of the game, who died on Monday at the age of 88, have been peppered with soccer metaphors in his homeland. “Francisco. What a player,” the Argentine Football Federation (AFA) said, describing the first pope from Latin America and the southern hemisphere as a generational talent who “never hogged the ball” and who showed the world “the importance of having an Argentine captain,
