Moldovan champions Sheriff managed one of the most remarkable results in Champions League history on Tuesday as they upset 13-time winners Real Madrid 2-1 at the Estadio Bernabeu.

The competition newcomers showed that they would be no pushovers in their debut group campaign two weeks ago with victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in Tiraspol.

Striker Jasurbek Yakhshiboev headed Sheriff ahead 25 minutes into the first half but Karim Benzema converted from the penalty spot just before the hour mark to level at 1-1.
