Di Maria’s late strike earns Real the points

ANGEL DI MARIA hit a late winner for Real Madrid at Auxerre. The win takes them to the top of Champions League Group G.

AC Milan, who beat Auxerre in their opening match, were held 1-1 by Ajax. Mounir El Hamdaoui put them ahead after 23 minutes but former Ajax hero Zlatan Ibrahimovic levelled for Milan 14 minutes later, after an assist from another one-time favourite of the home crowd, Clarence Seedorf.

Roma recovered from their opening defeat to Bayern Munich in Group E by beating CFR Cluj 2-1.
