Thibaut Courtois made three good saves as the Turkish champions missed several chances in a fiery atmosphere, but Madrid held on for the win

Zinedine Zidane’s job was on the line as Madrid languished in Group A, but victory moves them second, although PSG are well ahead after whipping Club Brugge 5-0. Madrid have four points and PSG have nine.

Eden Hazard accidentally set up the first goal as he looked for Karim Benzema but found Kroos, whose effort struck Seri and beat Fernando Muslera.

The Belgian winger should have scored in the second period but hit the crossbar after rounding the Uruguayan stopper.
