BERLIN, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) -- Como became the first away team to score nine goals in a UEFA Champions League match with a 9-1 rout of Lens on Wednesday.
Greek international Anastasios Douvikas led the way with a hat-trick as the Serie A side claimed its third win in four matches in this season's league phase.
