At Nicosia, Cyprus:

Sakratis Papastathopoulos' equalizer in the 67th minute lifted Borussia Dortmund to a 1-1 road draw with APOEL FC. Mikael Pote scored for the Cypriot club in the 62nd minute.  Here's Sakratis himself being shown a yellow card by referee Aleksei Kulbokov.

At Madrid:

Cristiano Rolando's successfully-executed penalty kick enabled Real Madrid to salvage a 1-1 home draw with Tottenham Hotspur.  Raphael Varane's own goal in the 28th minute provided the scoring for the English club.  That's ol' CR 7 himself reacting to something.
