Morata breaks Sporting hearts after Ronaldo's free-kick equaliser as holders Real Madrid come from behind at home
REAL MADRID 2-1 SPORTING LISBON - AT SANTIAGO BERNABEU - Cristiano Ronaldo marked his 350th game in a Real Madrid shirt by saving their blushes with a late free-kick against Sporting de Portugal to help them stage a late comeback and win a game they looked like losing. Ronaldo's strike cancelled out the visitors' 46 minute opener and when Alvaro Morata headed in James Rodriguez' cross with the last move of the game Zinedine Zidane's team had somehow taken all three points from a match they struggled in throughout.
