Nijmegen club NEC kept its Uefa Cup hopes alive on Wednesday night with a 1-2 victory away over Spartak Moscow.

With Spartak leading 1-0 five minutes before time, substitute John van Beukering equalised, and Lasse Schone made it 1-2 three minutes later.
Despite having lost its two previous group matches, the victory means NEC may still make it through to the next round.
FC Twente’s 2-1 home victory over German club Schalke means it will progress to the knock-out stage of the competition. Twente, with ex-England coach Steve McClaren at the helm, takes on Parisian club PSG in two weeks time.
