Section decider
The Portuguese and Ukrainian contenders were much fancied to progress before the mini-tournament began and did just that today after 4-1 and 11-2 wins against MFC Varna, the Hungarian hosts, and Armenia's Politekhnik Yerevan respectively. Benfica and Energie, who have identical goal records, will meet to decide who tops the group on Sunday, when point-less Varna and Yerevan will go head to head with only pride at stake. The qualified clubs will both be involved in Tuesday's Elite round draw from 13.00CET at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
