PORTO 3 (Alves 2, Falcao 14, Hulk 76)

Alves opened the scoring with a towering header from a corner. Asenjo spilled a Fucile centre and Falcao snared the rebound. Hulk put Pathetico Madrid out of their misery with a thunderous left foot shot which crashed in off the underside of the crossbar.

CHELSEA 2 (Essien 19, Drogba 26)
APOEL 2 (Zewtakow 6, Mirosavijevic 87)

Chelsea's worrying form continued with a poor showing against Apoel. The Cypriots took a shock lead after a lovely passing move was finished off by Zewtakow. Essien drew the Londoner's level with a typically powerful strike from the edge of the box which Chiotis should have saved. Kakuta and Zhirkov combined for Drogba's goal but Mikel's hospital pass was seized on by Mirosavijevic who ran away from the painfully slow Terry to equalise.

ATLETICO MADRID 2 (Aguero 66, Aguero 91)
CHELSEA 2 (Drogba 82, Drogba 88)

Chelsea's achilles heel, John Terry, got no distance on a clearing header and Aguero hammered a right volley past Cech. Drogba marked his return from a four game ban with a late brace. The first a header from a Malouda cross. Ashley Cole released Drogba on the counter and he powered through to score at the second attempt after Asenjo saved his initial effort. Cech, Chelsea's other achilles heel, failed to save an Aguero free kick struck at mid-height but it didn't matter as a point was enough to send Chelsea into the last 16.

PORTO 2 (Hulk 33, Hulk 48 Pen)
APOEL 1 (Pereira 22 og)

Charalambides challenged two defenders for a cross from the left and the unlucky Pereira got the final touch. Pinto inexplicably headed a goalkick back to his 'keeper, Falcao intercepted and passed to Hulk whose first time shot was in fact his first ever Champions League goal and a generous penalty awarded for handball gave Hulk the opportunity to score his second and he made no mistake.

Hulk had two efforts charged down, by Atletico's third choice goalkeeper and a defender, he quickly recovered to play a centre across the six yard box and Falcao backheeled past Gago, excellent finish. Bruno Alves headed a corner against the inside of a post and Rolando snared the rebound.
