CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ROUNDUP: Group A Napoli 1 Bayern Munich 1:Bayern struck first with only two minutes on the clock when Toni Kroos was allowed acres of space inside the Napoli box before placing his shot into the corner.
Napoli, who had not lost at home since returning to European competition three years ago, equalised on 39 minutes when Christian Maggio’s right-wing cross was deflected into the net by Holger Badstuber’s lunging dive. Bayern top the group with seven points.
Group B
Lille 0 Inter Milan 1
Inter Milan finally found something to cheer about when Giampaolo Pazzini’s first-half goal gave them a 1-0 win at Lille and top spot in the group. Pazzini volleyed home in the 21st minute to put Inter on six points from three games. Lille dominated but despite fine performances by Eden Hazard and Joe Cole, lacked presence in the area to equalise.
CSKA Moscow 3 Trabzonspor 0
Seydou Doumbia struck twice to lead CSKA Moscow to a 3-0 defeat of Trabzonspor for their first win in Group B.
The Ivory Coast striker, who scored both of CSKA’s goals in a 2-2 draw at Lille in their opener last month, put the Russians ahead in the 29th minute after being set up by Vagner Love with a clever back-heel. Love also assisted on the second goal by substitute Aleksandrs Cauna, who scored with a fine volley midway through the second half before Doumbia completed the rout four minutes from time.
Group C
FC Basel 0 Benfica 2
A slick move finished off by Bruno Cesar and an Oscar Cardozo free kick gave Benfica their second successive away win as they beat Swiss side FC Basel 2-0. Brazilian Bruno Cesar side-footed home in the 20th minute and Paraguay striker Cardozo, who had only been on the pitch for a few minutes, rifled in a free kick for the second in the 75th minute.
Benfica were the more polished outfit, although Basel also created several clear chances, visiting goalkeeper Artur securing the three points with an outstanding display.
Group D
Dinamo Zagreb 0 Ajax 2
Dinamo Zagreb fielded an attacking formation but Ajax always looked the more likely winners and Derk Boerrigter silenced a vociferous home crowd in the 49th minute with a crisp low shot into the far corner of the net from 18 metres. Christian Eriksen added a second goal on 90 minutes.
