Juventus top group E and go through to the last 16 after beating Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League.

Juventus secured their place in the last 16 after sealing a 1-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League this evening.

Shakhtar already knew that they were through to the last 16, while Juventus needed at least a draw.

Mirko Vucinic had an early chance for the visitors, but his effort drifted high.

Gianluigi Buffon was called into action after Fernandinho took a powerful shot from the centre of the box, but the Juventus keeper made a strong save to keep the ball out of the net.

A physical opening 45 minutes saw both sides' medical teams called on, with the referee handing out four yellow cards in the first half.

The home side looked strong again at the start of the second period, but Juve's back four were well organised.

Juventus made the breakthrough in the 56th minute when a Sebastian Giovinco strike deflected into the Shakhtar goal off Olexandr Kucher.

Shakhtar continued to push for a goal, despite not needing the result to remain in the competition.

The win means that Juventus go through at the expense of Chelsea, despite the reigning champions thrashing Nordsjaelland.
