UEFA Champions League, Group D, Galatasaray – Borussia Dortmund 0:4
Goran Pandev started in attack for Galatasaray and played until the 78th minute when he was substituted by Emre Çolak.  It was another subpar showing for Pandev who was heavily booed by the fans as he was exiting the pitch.  It’s appearing more and more likely that Goran will already be looking for a new team in the upcoming winter transfer window.

UEFA Champions League, Group G, Chelsea – Maribor 6:0
Agim Ibraimi got the start for Maribor and played until the 68th minute when he was replaced by Luka Zahović.  Ibraimi had the first quality chance for Maribor in the 14th minute when his shot was pushed away by Chelsea keeper Petr Čech out for a corner kick.  Then, in the 64th minute, Ibraimi won a penalty after he was fouled inside the area, but his spot kick struck the right goal post.  Maribor proved no match for Chelsea.
