Match Roundup
Roma made home advantage count with a 2-0 win over Dynamo Kiev at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome with goals from Italian internationals Simone Perrotta and Roman golden boy Francesco Totti earning the three points.

Former Sporting Lisbon youngster Cristiano Ronaldo returned to haunt his club as he scored the only goal of a strangely hard fought victory in Lisbon for Manchester United.

Three first half goals finished the scoring in Kiev as Sporting twice took the lead to finish off the Ukrainians and score their first points in the Champion's League 2007/2008 group stage.

Last season's high scoring affair at Old Trafford between these two clubs was but a distant memory as United limped home 1-0 thanks to a much needed goal from misfiring England striker Wayne Rooney.

23/10/2007 - Roma 2 - 1 Sporting Lisbon

Manchester United kept up their Group F 100% record with a strong win over Dynamo Kiev and a scoreline that flattered the Ukrainians even in defeat, such was United's dominance.

Roma did their qualification chances no harm with a tough win over Sporting Lisbon at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome to keep them three points ahead of their Portuguese rivals, in second place in the Group F table.

GAME WEEK 4 - 6th/7th November 2007

07/11/2007 - Sporting Lisbon 2 - 2 Roma

Match Roundup

Manchester United - 100% record, Dynamo Kiev - 0% record. Fill in the gaps.

Roma recovered to grab a draw after having taken an early lead and are still favourites to take second spot in the group.

GAME WEEK 5 - 27th/28th November 2007

Fixtures / Results

27/11/2007 - Dynamo Kiev 1 - 4 Roma
27/11/2007 - Manchester United 2 - 1 Sporting Lisbon

Match Roundup

Roma assured themselves of 2nd place and Manchester United left it late to keep up their 100% record in Group F as both clubs strolled through to the next round with a game to spare.

GAME WEEK 6 - 11th/12th December 2007

Fixtures / Results

12/12/2007 - Roma 1 - 1 Manchester United
12/12/2007 - Sporting Lisbon 3 - 0 Dynamo Kiev

Match Roundup

With qualification already secured from Group F, Manchester United and Roma played out an insignificant score draw with the real drama happening outside Rome's Stadio Olimpico as five Manchester United supporters were rushed to hospital with stab wounds following an altercation with Roma's notorious Ultras.

Sporting Lisbon's 3-0 win over Dynamo Kiev sets them up for their upcoming UEFA Cup campaign and condemns the Ukrainians to a (literally!) pointless Champion's League campaign, making them only the seventh club to achieve no wins or draws at this stage of the competition.
