ANDRE SCHURRLE'S late equaliser helped Borussia Dortmund claim a 2-2 draw against Group F rivals Real Madrid at the Westfalenstadion.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 95th Champions League goal when his first-time effort beat Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Burki to give the visitors a 1-0 lead, but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang equalised just before half-time.
Raphael Varane restored Real's advantage in the second half but substitute Schurrle's late strike three minutes from time earned a share of the spoils.
Madrid were looking for their first win in three games while Dortmund were riding on a four-game winning streak.
Madrid looked dangerous on the break and got their reward when the Portuguese forward put Zinedine Zidane's side in front after 17 minutes against the run of play. James Rodriguez played the ball forward to Gareth Bale on the right before the Welshman's back-heel across goal set up Ronaldo to fire home first-time.
Thomas Tuchel's side pushed forward in numbers as Madrid looked happy to sit back and defend their lead but Dortmund's pressure paid off minutes from the break as they scored a deserved equaliser. The visitors looked content with hitting Dortmund on the counter as Ronaldo's shot from distance deflected high and wide of Burki's goal. But Ronaldo would turn provider to restore Madrid's lead just after the hour mark.
The 31-year-old's corner found Karim Benzema, whose effort struck the woodwork before falling to his countryman Varane to score into an empty net.
But Schurrle, who came on after 58 minutes, levelled late on.
Elsewhere, Islam Slimani lived up to his nickname as gritty Leicester took control of Group G with a deserved 1-0 win over Porto.
Former Sporting Lisbon striker Slimani, labelled the Dragon Slayer after his run of goals against Porto, bagged his sixth goal of 2016 against them.
It left Leicester two points clear at the top of the table as they made it successive Champions League wins following their opening victory at Club Brugge.
Porto, now third in the group with one point, offered little apart from their late rally and Claudio Ranieri's side should be increasingly confident of reaching the knock-out stage.
