minute strike by CSKA Moscow newcomer Pontus Wernbloom snatched a 1-1 draw for the Russian side against Real Madrid in their Champions League last 16 first-leg match Tuesday. Cristiano Ronaldo had given the Spaniards a deserved 1-0 lead after 28 minutes, taking full advantage of a CSKA defensive mix-up and beating nervous-looking goalkeeper Sergei Chepchugov with a low volley into the far corner. It was Ronaldo's 17th goal in his 23rd Champions League game for Real and 32nd in total in Europe's premier club competition. The Russians rarely threatened until Sweden midfielder Wernbloom, who joined CSKA in January, beat Iker Casillas from 10 meters following a goalmouth scramble in the last minute of added time. Bologna beats Fiorentina Struggling Bologna beat 10-man Fiorentina 2-0 Tuesday to boost its chances of Serie A survival. Bologna was clinical in the first half, with Alessandro Diamanti and Gaston Ramirez scoring to establish a solid halftime lead. Bologna is now level with 12th-placed Fiorentina and seven points above the relegation zone. Real Betis tops Zaragoza Real Betis compounded Zaragoza's relegation fears in the Spanish league by winning 2-0 away Monday from a goal in each half by Ruben Castro. Castro beat the offside trap before chipping goalkeeper Roberto Jimenez for the 41st-minute opener. He scored his ninth goal of the season after Roberto stopped Jorge Molina's close-range shot, only for the rebound to fall to Betis striker in the 68th. Betis moved into mid-table while last-place Zaragoza is 11 points from safety after its fifth loss in seven games at Romareda stadium. Nasri happy at City Samir Nasri is confident he is starting to prove that Manchester City did not make a mistake when it signed him for £24 million from Arsenal last summer. The Frenchman, 24, has taken time to settle at Eastlands and has made just 15 Premier League starts since his move. City manager Roberto Mancini has claimed that Nasri needed to improve the defensive side of his game.
