Oscar Cardozo scored two goals Tuesday to lead Benfica over Shakhtar 2-1 in the Champions League and send Celtic to the second round.
Celtic, which lost to AC Milan 1-0 in the other Group D match, finished second behind the Italian team with nine points, one less than Milan. Shakhtar, which could have advanced with a win, is now eliminated from European play because Benfica took third place with seven points and will drop into the UEFA Cup.
