Kiev consolation is UEFA Cup place

DYNAMO KIEV were within an ace of qualifying along with Juventus FC for the second phase of the Champions League, only to be denied by Craig Bellamy’s last-gasp strike for Newcastle.

Nonetheless, the Russians had fate in their own hands and would have qualified themselves with a victory, but goals after the interval from Marcelo Salas and Marcelo Zalayeta saw Juve win 2-1 and finish on 13 points, four clear of the second-placed Premiership side.

In Group H, Barcelona brushed aside Galatasaray 3-1 to complete the opening phase of the Champions League with a perfect record and dash the Turkish side’s hopes of making progress in the competition.
