Juventus had to fight back for a 2-2 draw at BATE Borisov in Group H. The Italian club had to come from two goals down in Minsk with BATE holding on for their first-ever Champions League point. Vincenzo Iaquinta scored both Juve goals after the Belarus side went two up in 23 minutes through Sergei Kryvets and Igor Stasevich.

8220;They surprised us. We couldn8217;t hold them in any area of the field. It was a nightmare first half hour,8221; Juve coach Claudio Ranieri said. 8220;We did well not to give up. We have to compliment these lads from Belarus. They ran like there were 22 of them, not 11.8221;

In the other Group H match, Real Madrid kept their 100 per cent record intact with a 2-1 win at Zenit St Petersburg, Ruud van Nistelrooy netting the 31st-minute winner.
