Game 8:

Group D

Galatasaray AS 0 vs. RSC Anderlecht 0

The first draw of the tournament and a scoreless one at that. Galatasaray had the better of play with a 8-1 advantage on shots on goal, they just couldn't find the back of the net. They deserved better.

Game 9:

Group E

FC Bayern Munchen 2 vs. Manchester City 1

City take a 1-0 leads on a Dzeko header in the 7th minute, but Lewadowski tied it 10 minutes later and then scored again in the 2nd half to give Munich the win in the Group E opener. City hit 2 posts and a crossbar otherwise this could have been the opposite result.

Game 20:

Group G

FC Schalke 0 vs. Celtic 1

Schalke played much of the game with only 9 players and hunkered down into a defensive mode, but the 2 man deficit was too much to overcome as Celtic takes this one.

Game 21:

Group H

Legia Warszawa 1 vs. Athetic Bilbao 0

An improbably Legia Warszawa side improves to 2-0 and first place in Group H. Orlando scores on a misplayed ball by the Athletic keeper and then held on for dear life as the woodwork saved Warszawa in this one.

Legia Warszawa: O. Sa 58'
