MUNICH - Bayern Munich cruised past CSKA Moscow with a 3-0 victory in the Champions League on Wednesday that knocked the Russian side out of European competition.Bayern, which had already qualified for the knockout stage as group winners, took the lead when Thomas Mueller converted a penalty in the first half. Sebastian Rode and Mario Goetze added goals late in the match that left CSKA bottom of Group E.Bayern finished with 15 points, while Manchester City joined Bayern in the knockout stage with eight points after beating Roma 2-0 away.Rome finished third and will play in the Europa League when the competition resumes after the winter break.I am very proud of the entire squad, Bayern coach Pep Guardiola said. We lost only one match and we were the better team in every game. We played very seriously today.Bayern easily dominated the match, especially in the second half, when it missed several chances to win by a bigger margin.Guardiola left several regulars on the bench at the start and Bayern did not create much despite having much of the possession.The opening goal came after Bebras Natcho needlessly downed Franck Ribery just inside the box. Mueller took the spot kick and sent Igor Akinfeev the wrong way in the 12th minute for his club-record 24th goal in the Champions League.Moscow nearly equalized shortly afterward but goalkeeper Manuel Neuer foiled Seydou Doumbia by coming off his line.Bayerns game picked up speed in the second half, after Arjen Robben came on and Akinfeev did well to stop the wingers effort.Sergei Ignashevich then made an incredible clearance on the line to kick away Robert Lewandowskis header after more good work from Robben.Midfielder Rode doubled the lead in the 84th after connecting with a cross from Bastian Schweinsteiger at the far post.It is something special to score my first Champions League goal but all I had to do was knock the ball in, the cross was perfect, Rode said. Our goal was to win the group and now we can relax and wait for Mondays draw.Schweinsteiger is making his comeback after ankle and knee injuries and was pleased just to be playing again, completing his first full game since the World Cup in Brazil.When the team functions, it is easy to play well, Schweinsteiger said.Lewandowski, also a second-half substitute, combined well with Robben to provide Goetze with the ball for the final goal in the 90th minute.

In the Bruins/Panthers game Tuesday with less than 10 seconds to play, Tim Thomas - clearly frustrated - took a swipe at Soderberg with his stick. Cody Franson Maple Leafs Jersey . He took whatever spirit the sagging New York Knicks had left. The good feelings created last month by Jeremy Lins emergence -- along with Lins best play -- seem long gone now. OAKLAND, Calif. -- Now that hes a key part of the Athletics starting rotation, Drew Pomeranz has tried to maintain the same aggressive approach on the mound that he had coming out of the bullpen. Its turned out better than anyone could have hoped for so far. Making his second start of the season after replacing Dan Straily as Oaklands fourth starter, Pomeranz and three relievers combined on a four-hit shut out as the As beat the Chicago White Sox 9-0 on Tuesday night for their sixth consecutive win. \"Thats that mentality, Im kind of just trying to go right after people,\" Pomeranz said. \"Thats what I was doing out of the bullpen and I had success doing that. I dont see any reason to change that.\" Pomeranz (3-1) went five shutout innings in his first start on May 7 and matched that with another stellar five-inning outing against Chicago. The Athletics left-hander struck out a career-high eight, walked two and gave up just three hits -- all singles. \"Thats a tough lineup to navigate through,\" As manager Bob Melvin said. \"He strikes out the first three hitters of the game, sets the tone, and then the offence was terrific across the board.\" Brandon Moss homered twice and drove in five runs, Josh Reddick also homered while Yoenis Cespedes added two hits and scored twice to anchor a shuffled Oakland lineup that had catcher John Jaso batting leadoff for just the fourth time this season. Jaso had three hits and scored twice. The White Sox lost their fourth straight. \"Guys swung through some pitches and (Pomeranz) pounded the strike zone,\" Chicago manager Robin Venture said. \"We got outplayed all the way around. Nothing went right.\" Oakland improved to 25-15, matching its best record after 40 games since 2003. The As won their second straight over the White Sox in much the same fashion theyve put together the second-best record in the AL -- strong starting pitching and plenty of offence. Pomeranz, who replaced Dan Straily in the As rotation after Straily was optioned to the minors, blanked the White Sox through five innings and allowed only two runners to reach second base.dddddddddddd. He struck out the side twice and fanned leadoff hitter Marcus Semien three times. Dan Otero pitched two innings, Fernando Abad worked the eighth and Joe Savery handled the ninth to complete the four-hitter. That continued a stellar streak by Oakland starting pitchers. Over a six-game stretch that began when Pomeranz helped blank the Seattle Mariners, As starters are 5-0 with a 1.13 ERA. \"I think we feed off of each other,\" Pomeranz said. \"You want to keep it going. You dont want to be the guy that doesnt pitch well.\" The offence has been just as sharp. The As matched their season-high with 17 hits and had at least three home runs for the fourth time this season. Reddick hit a two-run home run as part of the As four-run fifth while Moss had a two-run shot in the sixth and another two-run homer in the eighth. Eight of Oaklands nine starters had at least one hit. Reddick, Moss, Cespedes, Jed Lowrie and Craig Gentry had two apiece. The As jumped on Chicago starter Scott Carroll (1-3) early then held on behind Pomeranz and the bullpen. \"(Carroll) was mixing his pitches but when youre throwing a lot of strikes (hitters) can be aggressive with pitches in the zone,\" Moss said. \"Thats what our guys were doing. Those kind of nights are fun four everybody.\" NOTES: 3B Josh Donaldson was given the day off by Oakland manager Bob Melvin. ...
