MARIBOR, Slovenia - Eden Hazard had a late penalty saved as Chelsea missed a chance to advance from Group G in the Champions League on Wednesday, drawing 1-1 with Maribor.Unrecognizable from the side that was crushed 6-0 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge two weeks ago, Maribor took a deserved lead in the 50th minute when Agim Ibraimis superb curling shot beat Petr Cech in the Chelsea goal.Chelsea, which leads the group with eight points, equalized in the 73rd minute through Nemanja Matic who latched onto a John Terry header to score from close range.Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho felt his side had become complacent in what many expected would be another straightforward victory over the Slovenians.Many times surprises happen when people are not fully focused, when they believe the game cant be a difficult one, Mourinho said. Only when Maribor scored did the players realize the game was in danger. After that, a fantastic reaction. We deserved to win, clearly.Mourinho reacted to a poor first-half showing by his side at the Stadion Ljudski vrt by making a double substitution at halftime, introducing striker Diego Costa and Oscar.Luka Zahovic missed a fine chance to double the advantage and enhance Maribors claims of inflicting Chelseas first defeat of the season, before Matics effort 17 minutes from time saved the Blues blushes.Maribor goalkeeper Jasmin Handanovic saved well from Hazard and Costa, who had the ball in the net after 79 minutes, only for the strike to be ruled out for offside.The decision by Italian referee Daniele Orsato was criticized by the Chelsea coach.We scored two goals, two very good goals. The second goal, the referee decided to disallow but its a clear goal, Mourinho said.We didnt reach the number of goals that we should have in the second half, but the team played well... And the referees team did not have a good night.Hazard was fouled for the 85th-minute spot-kick, but the Belgians effort was too central and Handanovic saved.Maribor remains rooted to the bottom of the group with three points. Schalke is second on five points, one more than Sporting in third. USA Soccer Shirts . - The Oakland Athletics say they are stopping negotiations to extend their lease at the Coliseum.

Check out todays trade-related reports and speculation from around the NHL beat. And follow TSN.ca through Deadline Day for all the updates. Keep it Kul? With the Toronto Maple Leafs having cleared a bit of cap room by dealing Mark Fraser to the Oilers on Friday, reports are now shifting towards their willingness to move a bigger roster piece. TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reported on Insider Trading Friday night that the Leafs have informed teams that theyre willing to move Nikolai Kulemin. Dreger notes, however, that this isnt simply getting rid of salary to make some room for the return of Dave Bolland. The Leafs would need a substantial return, including a player and not just a draft pick. No offers have been tabled yet that make sense for the Leafs, according to Dreger. A Leg Up Kevin Allen of USA Today posted a list of the 10 most intriguing potential trade targets to watch before the deadline and while the list was populated with the usual collection of potentially-available names – Matt Moulson, Dan Girardi, Ales Hemskky and so on – he did bring up another interesting possibility.dddddddddddd Tucked away as an honourable mention, Allen suggests that David Legwand would be a fit for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Legwand does have a no-trade clause, as Allen notes, but could he be persuaded to leave Nashville for the first time since he is in the last year of his contract? The 33-year-old has never seen a Conference Final and with Pascal Dupuis out for the year with a torn ACL, the Pens may have both the cash and the need for a player like Legwand. Captain for Hire? Friday was a busy day in the rumor mill for New York Rangers captain Ryan Callahan, with talk of a potential swap with St. Louis front and centre. With reports that at least one team has been given permission to speak with Callahans agent, the possibility of the 28-year-old getting dealt before Mar. 5 seems to be increasing. The key motivator behind the rumours appears to be Callahans expectations for his next contract. Dreger commented that “unless his contract demands soften, theres a 100 per cent chance that hes getting traded by the New York Rangers. Theyre not paying him what hes asking. ' ' '
