Champions' League, day 4

Dynamo Kiev 2 - Real Madrid 2

Real Madrid came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 at Dynamo Kiev and keep themselves en route for a place in the last sixteen. García Remón's side were caught out early on when Yussuf's shot ballooned off Pavón past Casillas for a first goal, and then Verpakovskis cut past Salgado to make it two midway through the first half. But Figo found Raúl a few minutes later for him to pull one back, and the Portuguese midfielder levelled the scores on the stroke of half time from the penalty spot after Ronaldo was brought down by El Kaddouri. With Bayer Leverkusen also drawing at Roma in the other group game, Madrid, Kiev and Bayer share the lead at the top of the table, all with seven points. (03.11.04)

Deportivo 0 - Liverpool 1

Deportivo La Coruña are on the verge of elimination from the competition though after losing 0-1 to Rafa Benítez's Liverpool. Irureta's side fell behind on the quarter hour mark when Andrade put through his own net trying to clear a cross from Riise, and never really caused any problems for Kirkland in the visiting goal after that. And it could have been worse had Molina not made important saves from Riise and Luis García either side of half time. Although they still have a mathematical chance of qualification, Depor ended the day with only two points, having not scored even one goal in their four games to date. (03.11.04)

Barcelona 2 - AC Milan 1

A magnificent last minute goal from Ronaldinho gave Barcelona a 2-1 win over AC Milan on Tuesday night. Frank Rijkaard's side had fallen behind with a quarter of an hour gone when Shevchenko ran on to Pirlo's long ball to beat Víctor Valdés, but Eto'o levelled the scores before half time after Xavi set him up. Barça had most of the play after the restart, with Dida making vital saves from Deco and Xavi, but Valdés also had to keep out Cafu and Shevchenko at the other end. It looked though as if the Italians were going to hold on for a draw until the Brazilian star danced past two defenders and struck an unstoppable shot into the top corner of the net. The two sides share the lead at the top of their group, and both only need a point in their next two games to ensure their qualification for the knock-out stage. (02.11.04)

Inter Milan 0 - Valencia 0

Valencia restored their pride and kept their slim hopes of classification alive after holding Inter Milan to a 0-0 draw. The Spaniards were looking to take revenge for the 1-5 drubbing from two weeks ago, but they were pushed back right from the start, and only some excellent saves by Cañizares, in particular from Verón and Martins, kept the scores level at the break. Di Vaio did miss an easy chance at the other end when free on goal, but otherwise the Italians dominated, and Martins fired one shot over the bar and then hit the woodwork when it would have been easier to score. Nerves frayed in the final minutes though, and Adriano was sent off after a clash with Caneira. But Ranieri's side had a vital point, and could still go through if they win their last two games and Werder Bremen don't beat Inter Milan in their next match. (02.11.04)
