导出博客文章MADRID -- With a late equalizer by substitute Marco Reus, Borussia Dortmund drew
2-2 with defending champion Real Madrid on Wednesday to win Group F and set a
scoring record of 21 goals in the group stage of the Champions League.Karim
Benzema netted in each half at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium to give Madrid a
2-0 lead, but forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang pulled the German side closer in
the 61st and Reus struck the equalizer in the 88th.In the end it was a happy
outcome for us, Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel said. It was very important to
stand up to Real Madrid twice. We played full of courage.Dortmund had already
drawn 2-2 with Madrid when they met in Germany.Madrid was left with the
consolation prize of matching the clubs 34-game unbeaten streak that had stood
since the late 1980s.We had a lot of opportunities to put the game away and we
didnt, Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said. We played a good match but couldnt get
the win, now we have to move on. In the end it was well-deserved for them
(Dortmund) for what they have done so far.Dortmund finished the group with 14
points, two more than Madrid. Legia Warsaw, which defeated Sporting Lisbon 1-0
in Poland, finished third with four points to qualify for the Europa League.To
win the Champions it doesnt matter if you are first or second in the group,
Benzema said. You have to beat all the teams.Cristiano Ronaldo was held
scoreless for the fourth straight time in the Champions League, again missing
the chance to become the first player to score 100 goals in European
competitions. His total remains at 98.Benzema opened the scoring from close
range in the 28th, completing a low cross by Dani Carvajal from the right flank.
The Frenchman added to the lead in the 53rd with a firm header after a
well-placed cross by James Rodriguez.Aubameyang scored from inside the area and
then set up Reus equalizer after a quick counterattack.Aubameyangs goal helped
Dortmund match the previous record of 20 group-stage goals, a mark that had been
achieved by three other clubs: Barcelona, this season and in 2011-12, Madrid in
2013-14 and Manchester United in 1998-99.Dortmunds campaign this season included
6-0 and 8-4 routs against Legia.The draw allowed Zidanes team to match Madrids
unbeaten run set under coach Leo Beenhakker in the 1988-89. Madrid hasnt been
defeated since April at Wolfsburg in the quarterfinals of last seasons Champions
League.Its important to continue to make history and continue our good run,
Zidane said.Ronaldos best chance on Wednesday was a close-range shot that struck
the far post in the 78th minute. He had also come close 10 minutes earlier with
a right-foot strike that forced a difficult cross-handed save by Dortmund
goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller.He remains the competitions all-time leading
scorer with 95 goals, two more than Lionel Messi, who netted his 93rd in
Barcelonas 4-0 win over Borussia Moenchengladbach on Tuesday. It was Messis 10th
goal in the group stage, one short of Ronaldos record of 11 achieved last
year.Ronaldo only scored two goals in this seasons group stage, his worst mark
since joining the Spanish club in 2009.---Tales Azzoni on Twitter:

-- Shannon Hale hit 3 of 5 from 3-point range and finished with 19 points and
Alabama beat Ball State 77-59 on Friday night.I thought his body language was
good, Alabama coach Avery Johnson said. ...What more can I say. That Shannon
Hale is the one I consistently want to see.After coming off the bench to score
13 in the first half, Hale was inserted into the starting lineup for the second

score 30 for the Crimson Tide (2-1), with 17 and 13 points, respectively, to

3-pointers and Johnson Jr. made 3-of-3 while adding six assists and five
rebounds.Johnson Jr. said his teammates were instrumental in his success, but he
also said breaking from routine and taking a nap before the pre-game meal helped
to settle his nerves.I just kind of told myself yesterday, Im not going to wait
until like my fifth or my last year to turn it up, Johnson Jr. said. So I
thought this was going to be a good opportunity so once I got there I did some
different things in my pregame.It was close for much of the first half and
scoreless for the first 4-plus minutes. Hales dunk with 15:20 left in the half
was the first made field goal and gave Alabama a 4-0 lead. Alabamas offense
picked up from there until it cooled off late in the second half when the team
failed to make a shot from the fieldd for nearly 7 1/2
minutes.ddddddddddddDespite those struggles, the Cardinals (1-2) were unable to
take advantage. Tayler Persons led Ball State with 15 points. Franko House, who
came in averaging 22 points and 10 rebounds, finished with 10 points and seven
boards.Johnson credited Wednesdays practice with the success of the bench. With
three starters missing that day others had to step up.Shannon and Avery and
ArMond they practically are on the same team every practice so they are getting
in a good rhythm of knowing each others strengths and weaknesses, Johnson
said.BIG PICTUREAlabama: The Crimson Tide bounced back from Tuesdays 77-72 loss
