Goals rained down in Group A, which after the 3:3 draw between Tottenham and Flamengo, which guaranteed both teams passage to the round of 16, saw a resounding 4:3 win by PSV Eindhoven over Olympiakos, thus condemning the Greeks to relegation.
Brazilians Fluminense also won their third match, beating Bayer Leverkusen 2-0, confirming their dominance in Group F. Atletico Madrid was also promoted, despite the disappointing 1-1 draw against Tunisians Esperance, who with this useful point avoided relegation at the expense of the Germans.

Clear victories for Feyenoord and Panathinaikos, who thus managed to qualify for the round of 16. Roma is greatly disappointed and Flora Tallinn is in last place with zero points and consequent relegation.
In Group H, Real Madrid flies to full points with a peremptory 4:0 over the unfortunate Sporting Cristal condemned to relegation. Lens also grabs qualification with a goal found by Frankowski in the 46th minute of the second half with a long-range shot. Victory was sought with determination and deserved by the French, after a tough and hard-fought match with foul play and many yellow cards.
