MADRID -- Bayern Munichs struggles in Spain continued on Wednesday with a 1-0 loss to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.Bayerns defeat at the Vicente Calderon Stadium after a first-half strike by midfielder Yannick Carrasco made it another frustrating night for the German champions against Spanish clubs.Bayerns last three trips to Spain had ended in elimination in the semifinals of the Champions League -- against Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico last season. The German club failed to score on all three occasions.The win sent Atletico clear at the top of Group D with six points from two matches. Bayern stayed on three points. Rostov and PSV Eindhoven, which drew 2-2 in Russia, have one point each.I liked everything about the team tonight, Atletico coach Diego Simeone said. The team knew how to pressure, how to defend, how to play on counterattack. When we had to suffer we did. We were intense for the 90 minutes against a very hard side and this is one of the best achievements since Ive been here at Atletico Madrid.Carrasco scored Atleticos winner in the 35th minute with a well-placed low shot from just outside the area, with the ball hitting the far post before going into the net.I was lucky that it struck the post and went in, Carrasco said. Last season, it always hit the post and went out, today it gladly went in.Atletico was in control during most of the match, and Antoine Griezmann, who set up Carrascos great run through the Bayern defense, missed an 84th-minute penalty kick that could have made the victory easier.Bayern tried to apply some pressure in the second half but was unable to threaten much against Simeones perfectly set-up defense. Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak made few difficult saves throughout the match.It was a complicated match as we expected, but we couldve played better. We were too slow and that kept us from creating many chances, said Bayern coach Carlo Ancelotti, who had won eight straight matches since taking over the German club. We have to move on. Its still early in the season and we can still win the group if we beat Atletico.Ancelotti was in charge of Real Madrid when it beat Atletico in the 2014 Champions League final. Atletico lost to Zinedine Zidanes Madrid in last seasons final.One of Bayerns best chances was a header by Robert Lewandowski that just missed in the 77th, and substitute Arjen Robben came close with a low shot in the 81st. That was just before Griezmann struck the crossbar from the spot after Filipe Luis was fouled by Arturo Vidal. Robben had Bayerns last chance with a weak header in injury time.Atletico showed a killer instinct tonight, and we did not, Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer said. We will have another chance to beat them in Munich.Unbeaten this season, Atletico has won 26 of its last 31 European matches at the Vicente Calderon, losing only twice.Atletico was without midfielder Augusto Fernandez, who tore a right-knee ligament in the Spanish league on Sunday, while Bayern was missing Brazilian forward Douglas Costa because of a hamstring injury.In the next round, Atletico plays at Rostov, while Bayern hosts PSV.---Tales Azzoni on Twitter: http://twitter.com/tazzoni.

Argentina winger Ezequiel Lavezzi and France midfielder Blaise Matuidi scored, with star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic setting up both despite having a poor game by his high standards. Forward Eduardo gave Ajaccio the lead in the sixth minute after being set up by right winger Benjamin Andre, and the Corsican side looked comfortable in the first half, with the lively Johan Cavalli causing problems with his probing runs from midfield.

Quenton Nelson Jersey .Y. -- The Buffalo Sabres have placed centre Cody Hodgson on injured reserve and recalled two players from their AHL affiliate in Rochester. SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A new coach, a new arena and a new attitude. The Sacramento Kings hope these qualities can help transform a losing franchise into a winning one.DeMarcus Cousins had 29 points and Rudy Gay added 28 and the Kings defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 106-103 on Saturday night.Down as many as 18 points and playing lethargic basketball that was somewhat typical of the past few seasons, the Kings played inspired basketball in the second half when they outscored the Timberwolves 52-38 to win their second game of the season.Its definitely a different attitude this year and a different locker room, reserve guard Ben McLemore said. We have older veterans on this team who have been to the playoffs. They have been in a position like we were in tonight. We hung in there and played well when it mattered most.One of those veterans is Matt Barnes, who played last season in Memphis under Dave Joerger, now the Kings coach. Barnes had 12 points and nine assists and played tough defense throughout the game.Following a listless first half, the Kings gained control in the third, running off 17 straight points to take the lead. The suddenly cold Timberwolves shot 3 for 12 in the third when they were outscored 31-12 and trailed 85-77 heading into the fourth.Just defense and energy, said Barnes, explaining the third-quarter turnaround. Youve got to be locked in for 48 minutes, you cant pick and choose when you want to play defense. We got hit in the face (in the first half) and just played bad basketball.McLemore had 13 points for the Kings, who won for the first time at new Golden 1 Center. And the Kings hung on to the victory despite losing Cousins, who picked up two fouls in the games final minute and fouled out.Andrew Wiggins scored 29 points for the Timberwolves, who are off to an 0-2 start under new coach Tom Thibodeau. Zach Levine had three 3-pointers and 21 points while Karl Anthony-TTowns had 15 points and Gorgui Dieng had 14 points and 13 rebounds.ddddddddddddThe third quarter was a problem. A big problem, Thibodeau said. So we got to look at the film to see what the issues were. Weve got to be tougher.A putback by Towns got Minnesota within 105-103. After regaining possession following a jump ball with 7.5 seconds left, Wiggins misfired on a jumper and Barnes corralled the rebound and made one of two free throws to end the game.Gay put the Kings ahead by two with a jumper and Ty Lawson connected on a corner 3 for a 105-100 lead with 1:10 remaining.BIG QUARTERNow in his fourth season, McLemore has suffered through some tough times, seeing his playing time continually decrease due in part to erratic shooting.After being stripped twice late in Thursdays game by Kawhi Leonard in a loss to San Antonio, McLemore delivered in the fourth quarter against Minnesota. He made two big 3-pointers and scored nine points in the fourth.He was very impressive, Joerger said. He had a tough game the other night and it didnt break him. Thats what pro basketball is -- theres always going to be another night.TIP-INSTimberwolves: Last season the Timberwolves beat the Kings in all four games and they were 4-3 in the previous seven games in Sacramento. .
