Chelsea advances in Champions League with 2-2 draw

MADRID (AP) Chelsea reached the knockout round of the Champions League on Tuesday despite conceding an injury-time equalizer in a 2-2 draw with Atletico Madrid.

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba scored two second-half goals on his return from a three-match ban for the Blues to top Group D with 10 points.

FC Porto also advanced from the group after beating APOEL Nicosia 1-0 to move to nine points. Atletico has two and APOEL one.

Drogba scored in the 82nd and 88th minutes after Atletico's Sergio Aguero had put his team 1-0 up in the 66th.

Atletico then scored with a curling free kick beyond goalkeeper Petr Cech in injury time.
