(CNN) In a match that was largely low on quality, it was a standout moment of brilliance that eventually gave Real Madrid a narrow 1-0 win over 10-man Atalanta in the Champions League round of 16. Full back Ferland Mendy broke the deadlock with only four minutes remaining with a delightful goal from outside the area, after Real had put Atalanta under relentless pressure following Remo Freuler's early sending off. Atalanta defended resolutely after going down to 10 men with only 17 minutes on the clock and limited Real to only a handful of half chances for the remainder of the match. However, Real's dominance eventually paid off as Mendy curled home a fabulous strike to give Zinedine Zidane's side a crucial away goal ahead of the return leg in Madrid on March 16. Ferland Mendy celebrates his late winning goal.

Tigers surge late for blowout win in Murphy’s Law game for Cajuns
It was a reminder of pretty close to everything that can go wrong in a baseball game for the UL Ragin’ Cajuns on Wednesday night at Russo Park. The No. 11-ranked LSU Tigers were more than willing to reap the benefits of the good fortune in taking a 9-2 victory over the Cajuns. UL dropped to 3-2 on the young season, while LSU improved to 3-1. The Cajuns will return to Tigue Moore Field at 6 p.m. Friday to begin a three-game series with Rice. The trouble actually began in the first with an error on LSU’s first batter, but UL starter Connor Cooke was able to strand a pair. In the second, though, the Tigers were able to chase home three runs. After a walk and an infield single, Jordan Thompson’s fly ball to left was dropped. An RBI fielder’s choice grounder was followed by a throwing error. Then a disturbing trend started for UL. Cooke got a big strikeout for the second out, but Cade Doughty followed with an infield single to make it 3-0. Cooke finished giving up four runs … [Read more...] about Tigers surge late for blowout win in Murphy’s Law game for Cajuns
