MADRID -- Atletico Madrid reached the knockout stage of the Champions League after Antoine Griezmann pounced in stoppage time to score his second goal of the night and seal a dramatic 2-1 victory over Russian side Rostov on Tuesday.Griezmann grabbed the winner for last seasons runners-up when a hopeful long pass was headed on by a Rostov defender, and the France forward managed to toe the ball into the net off the underside of the crossbar.The referee awarded the goal after speaking to his linesman, apparently to make sure the ball was headed back by a Rostov player, which meant Griezmann was not off-side when he made contact.Atletico now leads Group D with a maximum 12 points from four games.Bayern Munich has nine points after beating PSV Eindhoven 2-1 in the other group match. Rostov and PSV both have one point.Griezmanns opening goal in the 28th-minute was an acrobatic beauty. And it too came from an unintentional assist by a Rostov player.Seeing Yannick Carrascos pass headed back toward the goal by a defender, the striker pivoted in the air and used his left shin to lift the ball over goalkeeper Soslan Dzhanaez.Rostov equalized two minutes later through Sardar Azmoun and the Champions League debutant was clinging on to the point despite being pinned down for the entire second half until Griezmanns late strike.They made it tough for us, but the most important thing is that we got the three points, Griezmann said. We are top of the group and have two games left. We want to finish as group leaders.Griezmann, who was critical to Atleticos run to last seasons final, took his overall goal tally to eight for this campaign. The two goals were his first in this seasons Champions League.The Rostov goal that ruined goalkeeper Jan Oblaks run of three clean sheets in Europe was the result of two errors- first a bad pass, followed by poor marking -- that are uncharacteristic of a team coached by Diego Simeone.But Simeones criticism was only for his own coaching decisions, without specifying his mistakes.As coach, I didnt have a good game, Simeone said. My players did. I made bad decisions, but my players pulled it out the best way possible, with pride.--- This story has been corrected to show the last name of the Rostov scorer is Azmoun, not Armoun.Nike Shoes Black Friday Sale . -- If Henry Burris has his way, he will be the starting quarterback to lead the Hamilton Tiger-Cats back to the Grey Cup next year.

NBA officials ruled the court unplayable in the Bucks final exhibition game on Oct. 25 because players were slipping, and the game was cancelled midway through the first period.Andrew Shaw scored in triple overtime to cap the comeback from a 3-1 deficit, giving the Chicago Blackhawks a 4-3 win over the Boston Bruins in Game One of the Stanley Cup Final. While the Bruins got out to a fast start, Chicago used their speed and took the play to Boston the rest of the way, launching 132 shot attempts at the Bruins goal and outshooting Boston 31-14 in the second and third periods (63-54 overall). Bruins G Tuukka Rask stopped 59 of 63 shots (.937 SV%), while Blackhawks G Corey Crawford stopped 51 of 54 shots on goal (.944 SV%). The winning goal came on a double deflection of a point shot by Chicago D Michal Rozsival, that was first tipped by C Dave Bolland before hitting Shaw and finding the back of the net. Shaw had set up Bolland for Chicagos second goal of the game, so they led the Blackhawks attack with a goal and an assist apiece. Both were plus-2 as well. Shaw also tied Brandon Bollig (who was inserted into the Chicago lineup for the first time since Game Two vs. Minnesota and played 14:24) with a game-high nine hits. Bostons attack was paced by LW Milan Lucic, who had a pair of goals and an assist, along with a game-high five takeaways. Lucics linemate, David Krejci, added two assists to extend his playoff scoring lead to 23 points. The third member of the Bruins top line, RW Nathan Horton, left with what was thought to be a shoulder injury, giving Tyler Seguin and opportunity to move up with Krejcii and Lucic.dddddddddddd Seguin finished with eight shots on goal and created some quality chances in overtime. Bruins D Dennis Seidenberg, playing a team-high 48:36, blocked nine shots, and had seven hits while Andrew Ference blocked eight shots and had 10 hits. Blackhawks D Duncan Keith played a game-high 48:40 and, along with C Jonathan Toews and LW Brandon Saad, had the best possession numbers for Chicago, while Seidenberg and Zdeno Chara were on the wrong end of possession stats for Boston. RW Marian Hossa paced the Blackhawks with 10 shots on goal, just ahead of Saad (9) and Patrick Sharp (8). Blackhawks D Johnny Oduya blocked seven shots and scored the tying goal, on a shot that took a fortuitous bounce off Ferences skate. Bruins C Patrice Bergeron scored a power play goal and was 27-for-41 (65.9%) in the faceoff circle. As has been the Blackhawks habit this postseason, theyve benefitted from production further down the depth chart. Shaw and C Michal Handzus, for example, have the same number of points (9) as Toews. Losing Game One isnt automatically the end of the world for Boston, even though 77% of Game One winners go on to win the Stanley Cup. The Bruins need to do a better job retaining puck possession. They are obviously tightly matched with the Blackhawks, but being second-best in those terms, especially so decisively, puts too much pressure on Rask to stand on his head and steal a win. ' ' '
