JOIN USPSG sealed their passage to February's last-32 with a 4-2 home romp over Sevilla, who must fight it out against Borussia Dortmund for the second qualification spot when they meet the Germans in the final Group J game on December 15.
Dortmund moved a point behind Sevilla with a 3-0 win over Karpaty Lviv. Besiktas went through from Group L following a tight 2-1 win at CSKA Sofia while Rapid Vienna went down to Falcao's treble in a 3-1 home defeat by Porto, who had already secured their progression.
Dynamo Kiev triumphed 4-1 at already-qualified BATE Borisov to qualify, meaning AZ Alkmaar's 1-1 draw at Sheriff Tiraspol in the other Group E tie was irrelevant. Milan Jovanovic, little used in the Premier League, put Liverpool in front at Steaua Bucharest with a powerful first-half header and although Eder Bonfim equalised, the point was enough to send the five-time European champions through.
Goals flowed in the other Group K game where Uruguay World Cup striker Edinson Cavani grabbed a hat-trick in Napoli's 3-3 draw in Utrecht, where forward Ricky van Wolfswinkel also scored twice for the hosts in vain.
