ST PETERSBURG, RUSSIA (Reuters) - Zenit St Petersburg secured a 2-0 home win over Olympique Lyonnais on Wednesday thanks to goals by Artem Dzyuba and Magomed Ozdoev to stay in the hunt for a place in the Champions League knockout stages.

Zenit climbed into second place in Group G on seven points from five games, above third-placed Lyon who also have seven but trail the Russian side because of an inferior head-to-head record as they drew 1-1 in the reverse fixture.
