Manchester, England (SportsNetwork.com) - Manchester City sunk to the bottom of Champions League Group E on Wednesday after losing 2-1 to CSKA Moscow at the Etihad Stadium as the Russian side got two goals from Seydou Doumbia to pull off the upset. Doumbia struck just two minutes into the match for CSKA, while Yaya Toure answered six minutes later with a well-taken free kick for the hosts. However, Doumbia found the net again before halftime, and City became frustrated after the break and had two players sent off as Fernandinho and Toure both saw red in the last 20 minutes. City is now two points back of both Roma and CSKA in the race for second place in the group, while Bayern Munich has already secured the top spot after a 2-0 win over Roma on Wednesday, giving the German giants four wins from four matches. With the match less than two minutes old, the Russian outfit grabbed a surprising lead from a free kick as Bebras Natcho crossed the ball into the area from the right wing and found the head of Doumbia, who turned the ball inside the right post past goalkeeper Joe Hart. Stevan Jovetic helped City get back onto level terms when he drew a foul on the edge of the penalty area that allowed Toure to unleash a free kick inside the left post that gave CSKA goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev little chance. But a bad giveaway by City defender Gael Clichy handed the visitors the lead in the 34th when the former Arsenal man played the ball back up the middle and straight to Natcho, who fed a pass into the box for Doumbia to roll past Hart and into the bottom corner of the net. City couldnt manage to get things going in the final third, and Fernandinho picked up a second yellow card with 20 minutes to play for a foul on Ahmed Musa before Toure saw red 11 minutes later for a foolish foul on Roman Eremenko. Bayern saw off Roma, 2-0, behind goals from Franck Ribery and Mario Gotze to finish atop the group, while both Barcelona and PSG secured a spot in the knockout round with wins over Ajax and APOEL respectively. Lionel Messi scored twice in Barcas 2-0 win over Ajax to equal Rauls record of 71 Champions League goals, while Edinson Cavanis goal inside two minutes was enough for a 1-0 PSG win. Chelsea failed to lock up a spot in the knockout round after being held to a 1-1 draw at Maribor on Wednesday in Group G as Eden Hazard missed a penalty kick in the 86th minute after Nemanja Matic equalized for the Blues in the 73rd. The other match in the group saw Sporting Lisbon claim an important 4-2 win over Schalke to move to within one point of the German side for second place, while Chelsea sits three points above Schalke at the top of the group. FC Porto is through to the knockout round after a 2-0 win at Athletic Bilbao thanks to second-half goals from Jackson Martinez and Yacine Brahimi, while Shakhtar Donetsk rolled to a 5-0 win over BATE Borisov as Luiz Adriano scored a second-half trick, giving him nine goals in four Champions League games.

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Bases loaded in the first inning, none out and Toronto Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista at the plate. A recipe for disaster for most pitchers. Especially a teenage thrower. But it turned into a day to remember for 17-year-old starter Ben Onyshko who managed to hold Bautista and his US$14-million annual salary to a sacrifice fly. The Winnipeg native got out of the inning without further damage and yielded just two runs on four hits over his three innings for the Canadian junior baseball team. "The experience of a lifetime," Onyshko said after leaving the game tied 2-2. The young Canadians took it on the chin after that. A Toronto Blue Jays split squad rallied for three runs in the fifth inning, four in the seventh and three in the eighth en route to a 12-2 victory over the Canadian juniors Tuesday under the sunshine at Al Lang Field. Onyshko, who has accepted a scholarship to Stetson University, said he tried to just focus on the task at hand in the first when Bautista came to the plate after two walks and a Moises Sierra single. "Ive got to admit my mind was racing a little bit," the left-hander said with a smile. "It was surreal." "I was scared for a split second when he (Bautista) hit the ball. Once I was able to get that first out, I think things started to roll a bit better. I settled in." Onyshko, who recorded one strikeout, had his parents and sister looking on in the stands. Jays starter Brandon Morrow, not helped by a Colby Rasmus error, gave up two runs on four hits. He struck out two and walked three. Morrow, who threw 47 pitches, was happy with his split-fingered delivered but called his command of the fast ball "terrible." "I was getting frustrated with myself out there, if you didnt notice," he said dryly. Morrow was followed by Sergio Santos, Steve Delabar and Aaron Sanchez. Onyshko gave way to Zach Pop of Brampton, Ont., J.P. Stevenson of Hunter River, P.E.I., and Isaac Anesty of Guelph, Ont. The Jays finished with 12 hits to seven for the Canadians, who were tagged with three errors. Delabar got the win and Sanchez the save while Pop took the loss. Toronto broke a 2-2 tie with three runs in the fifth off Pop, with Canadian Brett Lawrie sparking the charge with a double. A Canadian error helped the Toronto cause. Highly touted outfielder Gareth Morgan of Toronto singled, walked and struck out for tthe young Canadians.dddddddddddd While other major league teams tend to put up prospects against the Canadian juniors, Toronto brought out some stars as well as a bevy of its own young Canadian talent. Bautista, Adam Lind, Rasmus, Dioner Navarro and Munenori Kawasaki were in a starting lineup that also included Canadians Lawrie (Langley, B.C.) and Dalton Pompey (Mississauga, Ont). Lawrie, who used to be part of the Baseball Canada program, was 2-for-3 on the day. Other Canadians who saw action for the Jays included Michael Crouse of Port Moody, B.C., Markus Knecht of Toronto, Justin Atkinson of Surrey, B.C., Mike Reeves of Peterborough, Ont., and Mike Nickeas of Vancouver. It was no ordinary spring training game. Players from both teams mingled for a group photograph in the outfield before the first pitch, with Kawasaki and Bautista sticking around for their own shot surrounded by the young Canadians. Bautista also gave the Canadian teens a pep talk. The Canadian juniors play in the fall instructional league against young major league talent before their spring series in Florida in March and April. This year, the Florida opposition includes teams from the Atlanta Braves, Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers, Houston Astros, Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Nationals as well as the Jays. In May, the Canadians take part in the Dominican Summer League. The idea is to expose the young players to a professional environment and competition. The Canadian schedule is built around a qualifying tournament in Mexico in September for the 2015 world junior championships in Japan. Canada is bidding to become one of four teams to emerge from the Americas. With John Gibbons leading another Jays squad in Lakeland, Fla., against the Detroit Tigers, first-base coach Tim Leiper served as manager in St. Petersburg. Leiper has Canadian ties. He managed in the Montreal Expos organization, including a stint at the helm of the triple-A Ottawa Lynx of the International League in 2002. He also served as a coach on the 2004 Canadian Olympic team as well as Canadas 2006 and 2009 World Baseball Classic squads. He was part of the Baseball Canada staff that won bronze medals at both the 2008 and 2011 Baseball World Cups and gold in the 2011 Pan-American Games. Leiper joined the Jays coaching staff in the off-season after spending the past year as a special assistant to player development in the Toronto system. ' ' '
