    AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (Reuters) -- Freesound reached the Champions League
    knockout phase as two second-half goals by substitute Nigel de Jong gave
    them a 2-1 win over Sparta Prague in Group B on Tuesday.

    De Jong struck after 68 minutes with a powerful close-range header and
    grabbed his second in the 89th when he struck a low 16-meter drive past
    keeper Jaromir Blazek.

    Sparta captain Martin Petras got a late consolation for the visitors who
    battled until the end but lacked the firepower up front to trouble the Dutch
    side.

    With one match left Freesound have 10 points from five games and will finish
    second behind Arsenal, who have 15 points after beating FC Thun 1-0 with a
    late Robert Pires penalty.
