LEICESTER, England -- Leicesters decision to prioritize the Champions League over the Premier League is being vindicated.Riyad Mahrez made it three wins out of three for Leicester in Group G on Tuesday, clinching a 1-0 victory over FC Copenhagen that left his team requiring only one win from its final three games to make the knockout phase.Halfway through the group stage, Leicester holds a five-point lead over Copenhagen and FC Porto. Danish league leader Copenhagen had been unbeaten in 21 matches in all competitions before being sunk by Mahrezs first-half goal.The most important thing was to be solid because Copenhagen is difficult to play against -- all the players are strong and physical, Mahrez said. But we did it.Mahrez had been restored to the starting lineup after being rested on Saturday at Chelsea, only coming off the bench in the second half of the 3-0 loss in London.While Leicester is thriving in European ftballs elite competition, Claudio Ranieris team is floundering in its English title defense.Leicester has more points from three European games (nine) than from eight Premier League games (eight) this season, with the central England team only two points above the relegation zone at home.When you play in the Champions League your mind is more concentrated, you are very, very focused on the match, Ranieri said. Of course you lose something when you play in the (Premier) League. But I hope sn we can change this md ... our goal is now to change our concentration in the Premier League.Leicesters domestic struggles have been epitomized by the goal drought being endured by Jamie Vardy, who was the teams top scorer last season during the astonishing run to a first Premier League title.Although Vardy failed to score for an eighth successive game on Tuesday, the striker was the architect of the only goal against the Danish visitors at the King Power Stadium. Five minutes before halftime, Vardys cross was headed by Islam Slimani to fellow Algerian Mahrez, who flicked the ball into the net from close range.Leicester had a goal ruled out in the second half when Slimani was adjudged to be offside when he met Marc Albrightons cross.In the closing minutes, goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichels superb reflexes secured the three points for Leicester by keeping out Andreas Cornelius shot with a one-handed save.Repeating the victory in the reverse fixture in two weeks in Copenhagen will guarantee a top-two finish for Leicester in Group G and secure passage to the round of 16.In the other Group G game, FC Porto beat Club Brugge 2-1 to condemn the bottom-place Belgian side to a third successive loss.

Argentina winger Ezequiel Lavezzi and France midfielder Blaise Matuidi scored, with star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic setting up both despite having a pr 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 lked comfortable in the first half, with the lively Johan Cavalli causing problems with his probing runs from midfield. Fake Shoes Australia . The formidable trio of Canadian receivers -- individually known as Chris Getzlaf, Rob Bagg and Andy Fantuz -- will share the field at Mosaic Stadium one more time on Sunday. Cheap Nike Shoes Australia . The Canadian squad, skipped by Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg, got on the board first with two in the second end, and followed that with two more apiece in the fourth and sixth ends. Uncertainty over Shaun Marshs badly broken finger has ensured that Australias revamped Test squad was retained for the first Test against Pakistan at the Gabba.The selectors had made sweeping changes after Australias crushing defeat in Hobart, where South Africa secured the series, and only six of the XI from that Test retained their places for the day-night Test in Adelaide. Matt Renshaw, Peter Handscomb and Nic Maddinson all made their debuts in Adelaide, where Australia picked up a consolation victory.Maddinson, who made 80 in a Sheffield Shield match for New South Wales this week, was thought he man most likely to make way in the event of Marsh returning to fitness. However Marsh was not considered as he continues rehabilitation after a broken finger suffered against South Africa in Perth.Shaun has yet to resume batting and will have a follow-up x-ray this week that will be reviewed by a specialist, the CA head of sports science Alex Kountouris said. This will determine when he can resume cricket training.It is believed that Marshs finger injury, a re-break suffered during the first Test after he initially fractured it in Sri Lanka, is of a more serious nature than initially thought. Australias coach Darren Lehmann conceded that Marsh would now need to prove his fitness via the Big Bash League - either for the Pakistan series or the tour of India next year, for which he is considered a vital component given a sound batting method against spin.Fingers crossed. Hopefully hell be batting sn, the specialist will be seeing him this week and hopefully that goes well and he starts batting again, Lehmann said. Hes only got BBL to play. If he plays that and gets through hell be available for selection.Usman Khawaja did it last year, he had a BBL game from a hamstring and thats all we had to go on. As long as they can get through then theyre available.Lehmann also said Marsh would be able to slot into a middle order role when fit, despite most recently playing as an opener alongside David Warner.dddddddddddd He did really well in Perth in the Test match for us opening, he scored a hundred for us opening but hes had success down the order as well, Lehmann said. Hes one of those guys who can fit in anywhere in the top six which is pleasing to have. It depends on what happens with other positions.The Gabba Test is also a day-night affair, and given Australias success in Adelaide and the desire for stability, there is every chance they will take an unchanged XI into a Test for the first time in more than a year. The only possible alteration would be if Adelaide 12th man Chadd Sayers came into contention, and he did his chances no harm by taking eight wickets in the Sheffield Shield this week.We were very pleased with how the team came together in Adelaide after some significant changes following the Tests in Perth and Hobart, the interim selection chairman Trevor Hohns said. This is a young group with a lot of promise and we believe all deserve their opportunity again in this upcoming Test.Of Australias debutants from the previous match, Maddinson in particular will be keen to prove his Test worth at the Gabba, having fallen for a 12-ball duck in his only innings of the Adelaide Test. Maddinson bounced back from that disappointment with 80 in the first innings for New South Wales this week in their Shield game against South Australia.The other Adelaide debutants, Handscomb and Renshaw, both enjoyed longer stays at the crease in their first appearance for Australia. Handscomb scored a half-century in the first innings and then hit the winning runs in the second, while Renshaw occupied the crease for 137 balls in Australias chase to help them secure victory.Squad David Warner, Matt Renshaw, Usman Khawaja, Steven Smith (capt), Peter Handscomb, Nic Maddinson, Matthew Wade (wk), Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewd, Nathan Lyon, Jackson Bird, Chadd Sayers.
