Bayer complete hat-trick for German clubs

BAYER LEVERKUSEN crushed Dynamo Kiev 3-0 with second-half goals from Juan, Andriy Voronin and Marko Babic to reach the knock-out phase of the Champions League and eliminate the Ukrainians from Group B.

Leverkusen needed a win to join fellow German clubs Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen in the last 16 and they broke through the resolute Dynamo defence when Juan was left unmarked to head in from a corner six minutes into the second half.

Bernd Schneider rounded the keeper with the one moment of true class to set up Ukrainian striker Voronin in the 77th minute and Babic tucked a shot under the keeper four minutes from time to complete the win.
