Juventus qualify after stormy win at ten-man Sevilla, Lyon beat Dinamo Zagreb

Juventus qualified for the Champions League knockout stage after Leonardo Bonucci and Mario Mandzukic scored late goals to give them a stormy 3-1 win at Sevilla, who played the entire second half with 10 men on Tuesday.

Nicolas Pareja gave the hosts a ninth-minute lead but they had Franco Vazquez sent off in the 36th minute for two bookings and Claudio Marchisio equalised in first-half stoppage time with a controversial penalty.

Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli was also dismissed for persistent dissent and watched the final half hour of the match among the home supporters.

Juventus moved top of Group H with 11 points from five games, one ahead of Sevilla.

In the other game in the group, Lyon beat Dinamo Zagreb 1-0 courtesy of Alexandre Lacazette's 72nd minute strike.
