(Oct 30, 1996 - 19:06 EST) - Defending champion Juventus of Turin cruised
into the quarterfinals of the European
Champions Cup, routing Rapid Vienna 5-0 Wednesday night.

Portugal's FC Porto also clinched a spot in the next round by beating
Norway's Rosenborg 3-0 in Group D.

European home game for the first time in 40
years, falling 1-0 to Turkey's Fenerbahce at Old Trafford.

Elvir Bolic's shot was deflected over goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel in the
77th minute. United (2-2) is second in Group
C, two points ahead of the Turkish team with two games to go.

Zlatko Zahovic, Ljubimko Drulovic and Artur Oliveira scored for Porto (4-0),
the only team with a perfect record.

AC Milan (2-2) strengthened its hold on second place in the group with a 4-2
victory over Sweden's IFK Goteborg.

Zvonimir Boban and Demetrio Albertini put the Italian team ahead, but goals
by Jesper Blomqvist and Andreas
Andersson tied it. Tomas Locatelli and Roberto Baggio then scored for AC Milan.

Arnold Scholten scored as Ajax Amsterdam beat (3-1) beat Glasgow Rangers 1-0
