LONDON -- Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th goal for Real Madrid as the nine-time winners secured early passage into the Champions League knockout phase with a 2-0 victory at Lyon on Wednesday. In his 105th match for Madrid, Ronaldo curled in a free kick in the 24th minute and then reached his century from the penalty spot in the 70th after being fouled by Mouhamadou Dabo. "I didnt expect to score my 100th goal so soon," he said. "It was important to win and qualify for the next round. We made it. Were calmer now that weve won our first four games." The 26-year-old Portugal forwards former club, Manchester United, went top of Group C with a 2-0 victory over Otelul Galati as Benfica dropped to second with a 1-1 draw with Basel. Uniteds big-spending rival, Manchester City, won 3-0 at Villarreal to climb to second in Group A, which is topped by Bayern Munich after beating Napoli 3-2. Inter Milan extended its Group B lead to four points with a 2-1 victory over Lille, as second-place CSKA Moscow was held to a 0-0 draw by Trabzonspor. Real Madrid is the only team in the group stage that has won all of its matches and has yet to concede a goal, the team joining defending champion Barcelona and AC Milan in advancing with two games to spare. In Lyon, Madrid stifled the hosts in midfield and Ronaldo managed to exploit a crack in the defensive wall from a free kick to place the ball out of the goalkeepers reach. Ronaldo threatened a couple of times in the second half before firing the spot kick into the middle of the net to make it 2-0. "Were more mature than last year and were having a good run," he said. "But we must also take things slowly." Madrid tops Group D with 12 points, five clear of Ajax, which routed Dinamo Zagreb 4-0 to lead by three points ahead of Lyon. Gregory van der Wiel sent Ajaxs opener into the roof of the net from a difficult angle in the 20th after a clever backheel from Christian Eriksen. Miralem Sulejmani doubled the lead five minutes later after finishing off a move started by Siem de Jong, who made it 3-0 in the 64th and Nicolas Lodeiro rounded off the Dutch sides victory in stoppage time. At Old Trafford, Antonio Valencia put United ahead after eight minutes, tapping in Phil Jones cross from close range. Having dropped back into midfield for the match, Rooney found the net from 30 metres in the 87th minute with the shot heavily deflecting off Cristian Sarghi and wrongfooting goalkeeper Branko Grahovac. Man United is level on eight points in Group C with Benfica, which was held to a 1-1 draw by Basel. "We know in the Champions League there are no easy games, they came to defend and pressed quite high up, which was quite surprising," Rooney said. "But it was 2-0 and we know if we win the next home game well win the group." In Munich, Mario Gomez scored a first-half hat trick for Bayern Munich to withstand Napolis fightback after a double from Federico Fernandez. Both teams finished the match with 10 men. Napolis Juan Zuniga was sent off in the 70th and Bayerns Holger Badstuber followed in the 77th, both after receiving a second booking. Bayern remains three points ahead of Manchester City, which won away for the first time in the Champions League. Yaya Toure scored a goal in each half for City at Villarreal, while Mario Balotelli marked his first appearance in Europe this season with a goal from the penalty spot before halftime after being fouled by Mateo Musacchio. The only bump on the night City experienced came when Roberto Mancini hit his head on the underside of the dugout just before Toures opener. While the City manager initially refused treatment, he eventually was seen sitting in the dugout with an ice pack on his head. Inter only needs a point from its last two matches to qualify from Group B as the Italian side has a four-point lead over CSKA Moscow. Walter Samuel headed Inter ahead in first half and Diego Milito tapped in another in the 65th. Bottom-place Lille scored a late consolation when Tulio De Melo took advantage of a mix-up in the Inter defence. wholesale jerseys .

CHICAGO -- Returning home after a rough road trip following the all-star break, the Chicago White Sox treated a rare sellout crowd to a sampling of how they need to play over the final two months of the season. They turned five double plays on defence and an offence that had been struggling showed some power with three homers on a hot Monday night at U.S. Cellular Field. That helped Gavin Floyd in his first start coming off the disabled list and gave the White Sox a 7-4 win over the Minnesota Twins, ending a five-game losing streak. "Like I said the offence sputtered for the last probably 10 days. We were able to get Gavin some runs early," said Adam Dunn, who hit his majors-leading 29th homer. "It was a good win. We needed it." Chicago lost seven of 10 on that three-city road trip and fell out of first in the AL Central to the surging Detroit Tigers. But Dunn insists its way too early to start looking at the scoreboard. Chicago trails the Tigers by a game. "Weve got two months of baseball, real meaningful baseball," Dunn said. "The goal is to get out of this little funk were in now and when it matters get hot. Who knows what is going to happen?" Paul Konerko and Alex Rios also homered off Twins left-hander Francisco Liriano. Making his first start in 16 days after being sidelined by elbow tendinitis, Floyd (8-8) wasnt sharp but benefited from four of the double plays. He walked six, gave up six hits and three runs -- two earned. Addison Reed got his 16th save in 19 chances and got some help when a leaping catch by shortstop Alexei Ramirez saved a run on Joe Mauers liner. "I think thats part of what Gavin needs to do. I think all our guys realize we can play defence," Chicago manager Robin Ventura said, pointing to the play of Ramirez and second baseman Gordon Beckham. "Those two in the middle did a great job of getting ground balls and getting Gavin out of some situations," Ventura added. "If they get through or you dont get those double plays, its a different kind of game." Floyd got out of a big jam in the first, allowing only one run after giving up a bunt single and two walks to load the bases with no outs. Josh Willingham then hit into a double play with the run scoring. Floyd allowed a run to score on a wild pitch in the second and the Twins sscored again in the fifth when centre fielder Alejando De Aza overthrew second base on a relay when no one was at the bag.dddddddddddd He was charged with an error. Liriano (3-10), who pitched a no-hitter at U.S. Cellular Field on May 3, 2011, lasted only 2 2-3 innings. He gave up seven hits -- including the three homers -- and a season-high seven runs in losing his third straight. Entering the game, hed yielded only three homers in his previous 70 2-3 innings and just nine all season. "I wasnt throwing anything down in the zone. I was missing my spots most of the time. I didnt have anything going for me tonight," Liriano said. "I couldnt locate my pitches. It was one of those nights." Konerkos three-run, opposite-field blast followed a single by De Aza and a walk to Kevin Youkilis in the first. It was his first homer since June 29 and 15th of the season. Dunn, mired in a 2-for-27 skid, hit a two-run shot to centre in the third. One batter later, Rios hit a long homer -- his 15th of the season -- to left to make it 7-2. Minnesotas Ryan Doumit hit his third homer in two games, a solo shot off reliever Jesse Crain, from Toronto, in the eighth.

He was examined by a doctor and manager Ron Gardenhire said he has a bruise near a nerve and is on medication. Plouffe will be re-evaluated daily. ... White Sox GM Ken Williams said his team is still in good position despite the tough road trip to begin the second half. "A lot of people didnt think we would be in this position right now and if we just kind of look at it from that standpoint, were in a nice spot as we head into August here, whether its a game and a half up or a game and a half back," he said. "Ultimately youve got to close it out anyway. Is it nice to be in first place and chased? Absolutely. But its our time to do a little chasing right now." ... The announced crowd of 37,788 was Chicagos second sellout of the season. ... Floyd has won four of his last five starts overall. He is now 6-11 in his career against the Twins. ' ' '
