*Leicester wins first Champions League match
Borussia Dortmund’s Andre Schuerrle came off the bench to snatch a late goal and earn a deserved point as they twice came from behind to draw 2-2 with UEFA Champions League holders Real Madrid in a compelling Group F encounter last night.
The Germany international lashed high into the net from close range to level in the 87th minute after Raphael Varane had restored Real’s advantage in the 68th.
The France defender’s goal made up for an earlier slip that allowed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to cancel out Cristiano Ronaldo’s 17th minute opener towards the end of the first half.
Dortmund and Real each have four points with the Germans top on goal difference, while Sporting Lisbon are third on three points after beating visitors Legia Warsaw 2-0.
In England, Leicester beat Porto in their first home Champions League game to maintain the winning start to their first season in Europe’s premier club competition.
Islam Slimani, who had a prolific scoring record against Porto with his former club Sporting Lisbon, headed the only goal from a Riyad Mahrez cross.
Porto substitute Jesus Corona hit the post, but the Foxes held on.
Leicester lead Group F by two points from second-placed FC Copenhagen, who they meet on 18 October.
Slimani, a deadline-day signing for a Leicester club record £29m, tormented Porto so much during his time with Sporting that he earned the nickname “the Dragon Slayer”.
In three previous matches in 2016 alone, the Algeria international had netted five times.
Here, he met the teasing, curling cross of the excellent Mahrez, diving towards the ball at the back post to head past a reluctant Iker Casillas.
It is his third goal in four games for the Foxes, all of which have been scored with his head.
