Canterbury have dealt St George Illawarras NRL finals hopes a crushing blow with a 13-10 victory, however Paul McGregors side eased pressure on themselves with a spirited performance.The Dragons were roundly criticised after three straight losses heading into the game, being outscored 93-30 in that period, but had the ascendancy for most of the contest at ANZ Stadium on Friday night.They fought back from 13-0 down at halftime to put themselves in the hunt but could not land the killer blow during a frantic final 20 minutes.The loss leaves the Dragons in 11th and they could be two wins outside the top eight by the end of the weekend.The result temporarily lifted Des Haslers side into the top four and was an important bounce back in the wake of their 36-0 trouncing by North Queensland last week.The Dragons held their own for the opening 20 minutes, but when Josh Reynolds and Sam Kasiano scored within four minutes of each other, things looked ominous for McGregors under-fire side.The Dragons went close to scoring on five occasions in the first half but the Bulldogs took a 13-0 lead into halftime when Josh Reynolds snapped a field goal as the siren sounded in the background.Joel Thompson went close to scoring but was brought down inches from the line after being tripped by Reynolds. The Canterbury five-eighth was not put on report but is facing the scrutiny of the match review committee and a big suspension, after twice being suspended for the same offence in the last two years.Just when the Bulldogs looked like they were going to run away with it, Gareth Widdop grubbered for Kurt Mann before Benji Marshall laid on a similar try for Euan Aitken to make it 13-10 in the 61st.However the Bulldogs hung on to keep themselves in the hunt for a top four finish.Dragons second-rower Tyson Frizell has a nervous wait after appearing to touch referee Chris James in the first half.Bulldogs front-rower Greg Eastwood, also recently returned from a six-week layoff for a knee injury left the field in the first stanza with a hamstring injury and did not return.Hasler said Eastwoods injury wasnt good and he was facing several weeks on the sidelines.The Canterbury coach said he was pleased with his sides goal-line defence and scramble but said they were let down by poor handling and finishing.Theyre great moments (the try-savers), theyre very important, Hasler said.Its testimony to their desperation, they call it the one percenters, theyre great try-savers.But then weve got to be able to back it up with something as simple as completing the next set.McGregor lauded his sides vast improvement on their recent outings and said they were unlucky not to win.There were just a couple of moments in the game, we probably wish the field was 98 metres and not 100, McGregor said.We probably would have scored four or five tries otherwise. We got pulled down a couple of times a couple metres short.Zapatillas Baratas Imitacion . -- There were so many positives from the Orlando Magics first victory of the season that it was hard for coach Jacque Vaughn to stop praising his players.

LOUIS -- Attorneys for the St.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 Caarvajal from the right flank.dddddddddddd. 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: http://twitter.com/tazzoni ' ' '
