Sheriff Tiraspol stuns Real Madrid with a 2-1 win

Sheriff Tiraspol pulled off a shocking win in the Champions League as they sneaked a win past Real Madrid in the Group D fixture with a late winner by Sebastien Thill. Sheriff Tiraspol could be the underdogs of the league if they can advance ahead to the knockout season, so far they are in a favorable position with two wins of two matches. Moldovans first found their lead with Jasur Jakhshibaev’s 25th-minute strike past Los Blancos.

Though the lead was short-lived as Real Madrid leveled the score with Karim Benzema’s penalty. Hosts had made peace with a draw until visitors stole all three points with Thill’s top corner shot from 20 yards away which left Bernabeu silent on the ground
