SEVILLE, Spain -- Leonardo Bonucci and Mario Mandzukic scored late to give Juventus a 3-1 win at 10-man Sevilla on Tuesday and a spot in the Champions League knockout phase.Sevilla took an early lead when Nicolas Pareja struck a long-distance volley that Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon didnt appear to see as the ball skimmed through a crowded area.Sevillas Franco Vasquez was sent off for two yellow cards in quick succession midway through the first half and Claudio Marchisio equalized with a penalty just before the break.Bonucci and Mandzukic then found the net in the final 10 minutes.Juventus, the five-time defending Serie A champion, leads Group H with 11 points, one more than Sevilla, the three-time defending Europa League champion.Lyon is next with seven points after beating Dinamo Zagreb 1-0 in the other group game, while Zagreb is last with none.Sevilla plays its last group game at Lyon while Juventus hosts Zagreb.Weve achieved our first objective of the season. But weve got to win against Dinamo Zagreb also. Nothing is a given in football, Bonucci said. We knew it would be difficult here and they scored with their first shot. But we did well to react and bring home the qualification.The build up to the match at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan was marred when a Juventus fan was stabbed during clashes the night before the game in a confrontation at a bar near the city center.Juventus was without prized forward Gonzalo Higuain due to a minor injury and Sevilla dominated early on, taking the lead when Juventus failed to clear a corner.Buffon is rarely beaten from beyond the area, especially by a volley from a center back, but the goalkeepers view of Parejas shot seemed to have been obstructed by a crowd of players.Parejas only other goal in the Champions League came in his competition debut in 2006 with Anderlecht.Still, Juventus four-man defense appeared confused.Juventus usually plays with a three-man back line but coach Massimiliano Allegri decided to shake things up with Andrea Barzagli and Medhi Benatia out injured and Giorgio Chiellini on the bench still working his way back to fitness.About 10 minutes later, Sergio Escudero nearly doubled Sevillas lead, shooting just over the bar at the end of a counterattack.Sevilla dominated the opening 20 minutes and it wasnt until Mandzukic shot wide to waste a good look inside the area in the 27th that Juventus even threatened.In first-half added time, Bonucci was held inside the area as he fought for position on a corner, resulting in Marchisios penalty.Sevilla goalkeeper Sergio Rico was well positioned to stop Marchisios poor spot kick but he let the ball go right underneath him.Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli was sent off early in the second half for protesting, having already irritated the match officials about the penalty before the break.Despite the man advantage and dominating possession, Juventus struggled to create opportunities in the second half.But then it was Bonuccis turn to be the center back who scored from long range. He too took advantage of a failed clearance to blast in a long, low effort that was slightly deflected -- a near replica of Sevillas opener.Once they were a man down they closed all of the spaces and we had trouble finding space, Bonucci said. But fortunately, my left foot gave us a hand.Mandzukic sealed it by beating the offside trap and fooling a defender before curling a shot around the onrushing Rico. Bobby Ryan Jersey .

Jason Spezza Jersey . -- Claudio Bieler hadnt scored since early September, and not from the run of play since mid-July. Kimi Raikkonen says GPS data shows how much Mercedes is able to turn up its power when it needs to in qualifying, and admits Ferrari is not capable of matching it.All engine manufacturers hold back a higher power setting for qualifying, but when it really matters in Q3 Mercedes seems to be able to make a significant step beyond the others. Even though Ferrari has finished second five times this season, neither driver has qualified on the front row of the grid after 16 races and Raikkonen admits qualifying is a weakness of the SF16-H.We are better in the race than in qualifying, the car behaviour is not too bad, but we are missing lap time. We have to be faster every lap to be challenging the others.Asked about Mercedes advantage over Ferrari in qualifyying, Raikkonen said: Its only guessing what they do and what the difference is, but weve seen it before, here and there in race conditions and in qualifying theres a lot -- in the last qualifying they go a lot faster, he explained.dddddddddddd Weve all got GPS, we can see what happens, but were doing our maximum and this is what we can do.Although Raikkonen suspects the crux of the issue is Mercedes qualifying mode, he recognises it is not the only area Ferrari is lacking.We have to improve things and thats nothing new. We just have to make the car faster to be able to challenge and there are areas where we have to improve. ' ' '
