The win leaves Jupp Heynckes’ men locked on six points alongside Valencia and BATE.

Galatasaray dominated the second half and got their reward through Burak Yilmaz 13 minutes from time but they could not force a winner.
An impressive first-half display and a brave second-half rearguard also earned Spartak Moscow their first Champions League points of the season.
Rafael Carioca rounded off a slick break with a classy finish to give the hosts a third-minute lead and, although Rodrigo Lima headed Benfica level at the Luzhniki Stadium, a Jardel own goal restored Spartak’s lead before half time.
It was all Benfica in the final half-hour but Lima and Eduardo Salvio wasted good chances to equalise.
