Two Champions League matches were played earlier this Wednesday. FC Barcelona defeated Shakhtar at home (2-1), while Feyenoord won at home against Lazio Rome (3-1).
After two first successes in its group, FC Barcelona followed up on Wednesday with a third victory in a row, when it hosted Shakhtar Donetsk (2-1). THE Blaugrana quickly took the lead and opened the scoring before the half-hour mark thanks to Ferran Torres (1-0, 28th). Less than ten minutes later, Firmin Lopez doubled the lead for the locals (2-0, 36th). Then Barça no longer found the net, unlike Shakhtar who reduced the gap shortly after the hour mark, with a goal from Heorhii Sudakov (2-1, 62nd).
This success consolidates Barça in its position as leader of Group H. While awaiting the result of Antwerp-FC Porto (9 p.m.), Shakhtar is third. At the same time, Feyenoord hosted Lazio in Group E. Rotterdam won easily against the Romans (3-1). After a goal disallowed for offside, the locals opened the scoring through Santiago Gimenez (31st) before making the break just before the break thanks to Ramiz Zerrouki (45th+2). The third Dutch goal was scored in the second half by Santiago Gimenez for a personal double (74th).
Lazio in danger
Lazio still managed to save the honor with a penalty converted by Pedro (83rd), but the defeat could not be avoided by the visitors who found themselves in a very delicate position, third before knowing the result of Celtic-Atletico Madrid. Feyenoord is the leader, two points ahead of Madrid.
