Leicester Wins, Madrid Held By Dortmund In Champions League

The fairy tale goes on for the once-unheralded central English club after beating double European champion Porto 1-0 on Tuesday for a second straight win in its first-ever Champions League campaign. No wonder the King Power stadium was rocking when Islam Slimani headed home from close range in the 25th minute for what proved to be the winning goal. The Algeria striker had scored five goals in three games for former side Sporting against Porto already in 2016, earning him a nickname of the "Dragon Slayer" in reference to Porto's moniker — the Dragons. Leicester used the same tactics against Porto as it did in the team's improbable charge to the Premier League title: In the other match in Group G, FC Copenhagen beat Club Brugge 4-0 at home to follow up its opening-round draw against Porto. Monaco stayed unbeaten after Kamil Glik scored in the fourth minute of stoppage time to earn a 1-1 draw at home to Bayer Leverkusen, which went ahead through Javier Hernandez.
