Bayer take slender lead over Atletico Madrid

Hakan Calhanoglu gave Bayer Leverkusen victory in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against last year's finalists Atletico Madrid. 

Calhanoglu scored the only goal on 57 minutes, firing into the top of the net after Karim Bellarabi's backheel. Atletico had midfielder Tiago sent off for a foul on Bellarabi, his second booking and had a goal ruled out.

Fernando Torres thought he had scored with a header following a corner, but the ball had already gone out of play. 

The result means the tie remains in the balance ahead of the second leg at Atletico's Vicente Calderon on 17 March.
