Also, Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu returned, playing 46 minutes, from his earlier crock to play in Udinese's 3-1 defeat at Young Boys. Champions League
New Black Stars sensation Christian Atsu was introduced after 64 minutes against Dynamo Kiev. They won 3-2 and now are unbeaten in Group A. For Real Madrid, a 2-1 defeat against Borussia Dortmund, now atop the group, left the Special One scratching his head, but Michael Essien at left back was on point for the Blancos.
When Nordsjaelland drew 1-1 with Juventus, Enock Adu Kofi played all ninety minutes for the Danes at the Parken. Kwadwo Asamoah did not play as he recovers from a small knock. Kevin-Prince Boateng was not part of the Milan side that lost 1-0 against Malaga as he was not selected to travel with the side.
