Borussia Dortmund missed the chance to climb back into the top eight of the Champions League table as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Bodo/Glimt at Signal Iduna Park. BVB had dropped out of the automatic last-16 places with results on Tuesday but could have climbed as high as third with a victory of their own. They were frustrated by Bodo, however, as the visitors refused to be beaten despite twice trailing to Julian Brandt goals.
Milan's Primavera side came away with one point from their clash against the league leaders Fiorentina this afternoon, though it perhaps could have been more. After the defeat to Juventus last time out, Giovanni Renna's boys returned to action after the break earlier today, taking on the league leaders Fiorentina. Given the Rossoneri's form, the 1-1 result was probably the best they could have hoped for.
No coach takes pleasure when he concedes three goals. It's impossible to be happy. But I'm always looking to improve my work. I am lucky to have a lot of information to analyse, and we will rely on it to progress. My first impression is that Strasbourg are one of the best teams in Ligue 1, based on the way they play.
New Zealand capitalised and jumped into an unexpected lead when Francis de Vries swung in a deep free-kick, which was headed into the corridor of uncertainty by Tim Payne. It travelled across the penalty area and was tapped in at the back post by a sliding Finn Surman, gifting the All Whites a slender advantage in added time at the end of the first half.
