LEICESTER, England -- Champions League newcomer Leicester clinched its place in the knockout stages as guaranteed group winner by beating Club Brugge 2-1, with early goals by Shinji Okazaki and Riyad Mahrez doing the damage on Tuesday.Okazaki steered the English champions ahead in the fifth minute before Mahrez converted a 30th-minute penalty after fellow winger Marc Albrighton was upended.Leicester conceded for the first time in Group G when Jose Izquierdo fired home a rising shot in the 52nd, but was still able to celebrate qualification with a game to spare. Claudio Ranieris team has 13 points, from four wins and a draw, and leads second-placed FC Porto by five points ahead of their meeting in Portugal in the final round of group games.It is more than we could ever imagine, Leicester captain Wes Morgan said. For Leicester to be newcomers and finish group winners, it is an amazing achievement.Finishing top should give the Foxes an easier last-16 match -- against a team that finishes second in its group -- and therefore a better chance of extending its debut campaign in the Champions League to the quarterfinals.Were on another journey, Ranieri said. I dont know where, but were excited.The closest Leicester got to a European trip in recent years was crossing the Welsh border to play Swansea in the Premier League. Now theyll be mixing it with the elite of the continent in the latter stages of the worlds most prestigious club competition.Its a giddy rise for a team that wasnt even in Englands top flight as recently as May 2014.Leicester might be struggling in the Premier League this season, lying two points above the relegation zone after 12 games of a stuttering title defense, but these atmospheric European nights at King Power Stadium are more than making up for it. Ranieris side has more Champions League wins (4) than Premier League wins (3) this season.Maybe we have been more concentrated on the Champions League, Ranieri said. Now the group is won, important to come back in the Premier League.Brugge, bottom of the group with one goal and no points heading into the game, was no match early on for a vibrant home side that dominated right from the start and went in front through a clever finish from Okazaki.Albrighton began the counterattack and Christian Fuchs continued it by racing down the left wing. The Austria defender crossed low for Okazaki to meet with a sidefooted shot at the near post.Mahrez was given the opportunity to double the lead from the spot after Albrighton twisted and turned Dion Cools before being tripped by the right back. Mahrezs penalty was low and sent the goalkeeper the wrong way.Izquierdos goal, which came when he was set free down the right wing and outpaced Fuchs, lifted Brugge, and Leicester endured some shaky moments in the final 30 minutes when its passing and marking became sloppy.But when the final whistle was blown, there was an explosion of joy as Leicesters fans chanted: Were all going on a European tour.Ranieri has now reached the Champions League with five different teams. Only Carlo Ancelotti (six teams) has done so more.White Air Max 2018 On Sale .

Black Air Max 2018 Outlet . -- Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Alrdridge were again the go-to duo for the Trail Blazers against the Kings.The hottest stretch of Alex Norens career has come a few weeks too late.If only two of his three European Tour wins since early July hadnt arrived after the qualification period for the Ryder Cup ended and Darren Clarke had selected his captains picks.I wasnt on their minds, Noren says.Too bad for Clarke. With Noren on the team, the Europeans might not have been humbled at Hazeltine.The 34-year-old Swede is easily playing the best golf of his life -- and, as a consequence, earning more money than he could ever have imagined.Please take a week off and give someone else a chance, English golfer Chris Paisley tweeted Sunday, hours after Noren won the British Masters at The Grove to take his 2016 prize money over 2 million euros ($2.2 million).The hot streak began when Noren won the Scottish Open at Castle Stuart the week before the British Open. He lost in the final of the Paul Lawrie Match Play in early August, won the Omega European Masters in September, and then triumphed at the British Masters at the weekend.Noren woke up Monday at a career-high No. 18 in the rankings and is guaranteed to play in all the majors in 2017, which means a first appearance at Augusta National for the Masters.Ive been trying to get into the top 50 to play in more (big) tournaments, Noren told The Associated Press in a phone interview from his hotel after arriving for the Portugal Masters in Vilamoura. But to get into the top 20, I really couldnt dream about it.Noren appreciates the upturn in fortunes more than most golfers would.In 2014, he played just two events because of tendinitis in both wrists that required surgery. Every time he tried to play, he got extreme inflammation in the wrists and lost most of the movement in them. He was told not to compete or train.That year, he earned less than 5,000 euros ($5,500) in prize moneey.ddddddddddddMaybe it was good for me that I had this injury, Noren said. I could do something else other than golf.There have been more changes in perspective for Noren this year.He and his girlfriend, Jennifer, had their first child -- Iris -- early this year. Suddenly his mood stopped depending on the numbers on a scorecard.Maybe thats the biggest contributor to my form this year, Noren said. Golf was everything to me before ... It put a lot of pressure on me.He has also decided to spend less time at the range. That has meant practicing at a different club -- Ullna Golf Club, near Stockholm -- which Noren says doesnt have a driving range.I play a lot more golf on the course than before and try to achieve scores even when my game doesnt feel so good, he said. Before, if I played nine holes and I didnt feel so good, I went to the driving range. Now I use the course as my driving range, hitting extra balls here, extra balls there.Noren said he might take advantage of his lofty ranking by playing more events on the PGA Tour in future, allowing him to play the best tournaments against the best players on the best courses. But he said he will not turn his back on the European Tour.But in the short term, Noren has the end of the best season of his career to focus on. He is currently ranked fourth in the Race to Dubai and must be one of the favorites a month out from the World Tour Championship finale.I know how tough golf can be. Ive had my really bad runs before, so I dont take it for granted, Noren said.Im just really happy with what Ive done this summer. I have more self-confidence now than before. But I honestly dont feel that other people are looking at me in a different way. ' ' '
