GALATASARAY GETS HELP FROM BORDEAUX!..

Galatasaray only drawing at home to Austria Vienna, a point at home to Bordeaux would have been enough for Panionios to progress to the knockout round.

But, after taking a two-goal lead, Panionios crumbled and allowed Bordeaux back into the game before the French side scored a late winner.

Panionios were in front after six minutes when Rafik Djebbour converted from the penalty spot after being fouled by Ecuele Manga.

Grigoris Makos made it 2-0 on 20 minutes when crashing a magnificent volley into the top corner from 25 yards.

Bordeaux pulled one back before half-time when Fernando Cavenaghi fired home from the edge of the penalty area.

Another fine Cavenaghi finish on 75 minutes levelled the scores before Wielfried Moimbe poached a winner for Bordeaux on 87 minutes.

In the group's other game, Sabri Sarioglu hit the crossbar as Galatasaray were held 0-0 at home by bottom-of-the-group Austria Vienna.

However, due to Galatasaray's 3-0 win away to Panionios earlier in the group, the Turks were able to pinch third spot.

Galatasaray will now meet a group winner, Bordeaux face a third-placed side and Helsingborgs will encounter a team that have dropped out of the UEFA Champions League.
