LYON, France -- Lyon paid the price for missed chances in a 0-0 draw against Sevilla on Wednesday that saw the Spanish side advance in the Champions League and the home side drop into the Europa League.Lyon needed to win by a two-goal margin to reach the last 16 by finishing second in Group H, ahead of Sevilla. It showed plenty of attacking intent, striking the crossbar twice in a lively first half, but failed to make the breakthrough. In the corresponding fixture, a 1-0 loss in Sevilla, the French side also hit the woodwork twice.Regret is the word we didnt want to hear after the match. But we have a lot of regrets now, Lyon winger Mathieu Valbuena said. We should have put our chances away, especially in the first half. Its a pity because we played well, even though we dropped off a bit in the second half.Sevillas win moved it up to 11 points and three behind group winner Juventus, which beat Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb 2-0 in the other match.Lyon finished three points behind Sevilla in third place and both matches were close between them.We closed them down very high up the pitch and caused them a lot of problems tonight, Valbuena said. We played some good football, but thats not enough in the Champions League.Early on, Valbuena darted in from the left and forced a brilliant tip-over save from goalkeeper Sergio Rico with a looping shot from just inside the penalty area.Both sides then had strong first-half penalty claims waved away by Swedish referee Jonas Eriksson, who was close to the action.Valbuena seemed to be barged over by fullback Mariano Ferreira as he cut inside from the left, and Sevilla midfielder Vitolo had his standing leg taken away by goalkeeper Anthony Lopes as he slid in to thwart him.Vitolo was Sevillas most dangerous player in the first half, but also missed a great chance in the 19th minute as Sevilla following a quick counterattack.Running in from the left, Vitolo did everything right, drawing Lopes off his line and curling a shot past him, only for the ball to bounce back off the right post.Lyon almost took full advantage of that reprieve when midfielder Corentin Tolisso somehow missed from four yards (meters) out in the 24th minute, meeting Brazilian Rafaels superb cross with a downward header that bounced up sharply and smacked the crossbar.With Lyon enjoying its best spell, midfielder Maxime Gonalons beat several defenders before passing to top scorer Alexandre Lacazette, but the marksman was off form all night and his shot was too easily charged down.Tolisso then used his strength and excellent technique to burst through midfield and reach the edge of the penalty area before feeding Valbuena on the left, and his superb curling shot beat Rico but struck the crossbar.It was tough for us, Sevilla midfielder Steven NZonzi said on Canal Plus television. Weve won the Europa League for the past three seasons. We knew it would be difficult because the Champions League is a level above.Midway through the second half, Lyon Nabil Fekir came on but the skillful forward failed to unlock Sevillas defense as the Spaniards held on, with substitute Clement Grenier glancing a header wide and Rafaels shot fizzing across the area and wide in the closing stages.Im proud of my players, Lyon coach Bruno Genesio said.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee wants to continue one streak before the Volunteers think about ending another.The 15th-ranked Volunteers (2-0) will seek their ninth consecutive victory over the last two seasons Saturday when they host Ohio (1-1). This marks Tennessees longest winning streak since a 14-game run from 1998-99.The visit from Ohio will be Tennessees last game before opening Southeastern Conference play next week against No. 23 Florida, which has beaten the Vols each of the last 11 seasons .Tennessee insists it isnt worrying about Florida just yet. The Vols are too concerned with trying to slow down an Ohio offense averaging 45 + points and 563 yards per game.Theres no looking ahead, Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs said. Were locked in and focused on the task at hand and getting ready for Saturday.Ohio, which has never beaten a Top 25 team, is trying to earn its second straight victory over a Power Five opponent after winning 37-21 at Kansas last week . The Bobcats took an early 25-0 lead in that game and are outscoring teams 14-0 in the first quarter thus far, while Tennessee has needed to erase double-digit deficits in each of its first two games.Certainly its a great challenge to play Tennessee, and you know I think our players look forward to those kinds of challenges, Ohio coach Frank Solich said. Well obviously play hard, and what we need to do is play our best football and see where that leaves us. Weve faced some very good football teams over the course of my time here. Some of those players that are on our team now have been in some very big games, and so we hope to handle it well and play our best football and see where that puts us.Tennessee coach Butch Jones knows Solich well from his own Mid-American Conference background. Jones coached Central Michigan from 2007-09. Jones Central Michigan team beat Solichs Ohio squad 20-10 in the 2009 MAC championship game.Jones noted that Ohio lost 31-29 to Appalachian State in last seasons Camellia Bowl after leading 24-7. Tennessee trailed Appalachian State 13-3 at halftime two weeks ago before winning 20-13 in overtime .ddddddddddddThis is a football program that has played on a big stage and has won big football games, Jones said. We know were going to get their best shot.---Some things to watch when Tennessee, a 27-point favorite, hosts Ohio:ON THE LINE: Ohio hasnt allowed a sack all year and has averaged 5.2 yards per carry, but the Bobcats offensive line faces a significantly tougher test Saturday. Tennessees Derek Barnett, who recorded 10 sacks each in 2014 and 2015, is still seeking his first sack of the season. Barnett said he had one of my softer performances against Virginia Tech last week.BALL-HAWKING VOLS: Tennessee forced five fumbles against Virginia Tech and recovered all of them. Tennessee safety Micah Abernathy had three fumble recoveries. Ohio must protect the football to stay close in this one.FINISHING DRIVES: Ohio kicker Louie Zervos already is 9 of 10 on field-goal attempts through the first two games of the season. Ohio wont have a chance of pulling the upset if its settling for field goals rather than scoring touchdowns.MOBILE QBs: Tennessees Joshua Dobbs ran for 106 yards and accounted for five touchdowns (three passing, two rushing) in a 45-24 victory over Virginia Tech . Ohios Greg Windham, a fifth-year senior but first-year starter, already has thrown for 560 yards and five touchdowns and has run for 183 yards and one touchdown. Windham averages 7.6 yards per carry.DEFENSIVE REINFORCEMENTS: Tennessee will be playing without defensive end LaTroy Lewis and linebacker Darrin Kirkland Jr., who have ankle injuries. Colton Jumper, a former walk-on, will be starting in place of Kirkland at Mike linebacker. Corey Vereen, who had a combined 18 starts in 2014-15, will likely start in place of Lewis.---AP college football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
