PORTO, Portugal -- FC Porto breezed into the Champions League knockout phase Wednesday with a 5-0 rout of Leicester, which had already secured top spot in Group G on its debut in European soccers elite competition.Portos emphatic victory over the much-changed English champions ensured it was not overtaken by FC Copenhagen, which beat Club Brugge 2-0.Andre Silva scored twice, including a penalty, while Jesus Corona, Yacine Brahimi and Diogo Jota also netted as Leicester slumped to its first Champions League loss.Leicester finished two points ahead of Porto with 13 points from six games. In its Premier League title defense, Leicester has 13 points from 14 games to sit two points above the relegation zone.Leicester defied 5,000-1 odds to be crowned Premier League champions for the first time in May and has advanced to the round of 16 in its first foray into the Champions League.But this was a humiliating end to the group stage for the central England team, which lacked cohesion and confidence.With Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and Robert Huth left at home, Leiecsters shadow squad never got close to the 2004 European champions as manager Claudio Ranieri gambled on reviving its Premier League season by resting his big names.While changes were expected, Ranieri sprung a surprise by picking 29-year-old goalkeeper Ben Hamer, who last played for the senior side almost two years ago.Porto went in front after six minutes, with Silva beating Jeff Schlupp to head in a corner from six yards.The Foxes barely made it out of their own half and Alex Telles swung in a fine delivery for the unmarked Corona to volley in the second.Leicester was offering little resistance and Brahimi added Portos third, a minute before halftime, when he finished off a neat move with a back-heel.Porto went further in front in the 64th minute after Danny Drinkwater clumsily fouled Silva, who then converted from the penalty spot.Porto added a fifth when Jota was sent clear and he struck through Hamers legs on a comfortable night for the hosts.

NEW YORK -- San Francisco third baseman Eduardo Nunez was left off the roster for Wednesday nights NL wild-card game against the New York Mets, and the Giants opted to go with 11 pitchers.Madison Bumgarner started for the Giants, and manager Bruce Bochy had 10 bullpen options: right-handers Santiago Casilla, Johnny Cueto, George Kontos, Derek Law, Sergio Romo, Jeff Samardzija and Hunter Strickland, and left-handers Javier Lopez, Steven Okert and Will Smith.Cueto and Samardzija are usually starters.Theyre both fresh, Bochy explained. Jeff has experience pitching out of the bullpen. I can use him anywhere. Johnny, hes one of the best pitchers in the game and hes fresh. It gives us another long man. ... So it just gives us coverage there.We just felt the pitcher was more important than a third catcher. So thats why theyre on here, he added.Giants pitchers Matt Cain and Jake Peavy werent included on the 25-man roster.Nunez, an AL All-Star this season with Minnesota, was acquired in a July 28 trade but hasnt played since Sept. 25 because of a strained right hamstring. He planned to test his leg during Tuesdays workout at Citi Field.He couldnt pass the test that we were hoping he could pass. Thats running, sprinting. Hes just not ready. So theres no point in putting him in harms way, Bochy said. We still thought maybe he could help out in some way, but its just too much of a risk. Hes not ready and hes not healthy enough to play.Conor Gillaspie was in the starting lineup at third base.New York went with an eight-man bullpen behind starter Noah Syndergaard:: right-handers Bartolo Colon, Jeurys Familia, Robert Gsellman, Addison Reed, Hansel Robles and Fernando Salas, and left-handers Jerry Blevins and Josh Edgin.dddddddddddd Colon, a starter, was effective in a bullpen role during the 2015 postseason and likely would start the Division Series opener at Chicago on Friday if the Mets advanced.First baseman Lucas Duda, sidelined from May 20 to Sept. 18 by a stress fracture in his lower back, was left off the roster. He went 5 for 23 (.217) with two doubles and four RBI after returning.James Loney, who filled in for Duda most of the season, was in the starting lineup at first base. Loney batted .265 with nine homers and 34 RBI in 100 games this year.Thought wed play a guy that is certainly an outstanding defender for us, saved a lot of runs for us, manager Terry Collins said.I talked to Lucas about it. I know he worked very, very hard to get back and get ready, but this is an awful big challenge tonight for a guy thats just been back for 10 days. So I went with James.Duda hit 57 home runs from 2014-15 and could have posed a power threat off the bench. But the Mets decided against that, too.With their bullpen, if Lucas Duda comes up, hes going to face a lefty. I know that, Collins said. So we thought it would be better to have a guy who has versatility, switch-hitter, who gives you options.Rookie reliever Josh Smoker also was passed over, in favor of fellow left-hander Josh Edgin.
