LOS ANGELES -- The Coliseum stands emptied in waves that flowed onto the field after Stanfords final fumble. Ryan Schraeder Jersey . Thousands of Southern California fans enveloped the Trojans to celebrate an improbable win secured by an interim coach, an inconsistent kicker and a thin defence that wouldnt break. USCs surge for Ed Orgeron had just swallowed up No. 5 Stanfords national title hopes. Andre Heidari kicked a 47-yard field goal with 19 seconds to play, and a stalwart defence repeatedly came up big in USCs 20-17 upset of the Cardinal on Saturday night. Cody Kessler passed for 288 yards as the revitalized Trojans (8-3, 5-2 Pac-12) earned their fifth win in six games under the irrepressible Orgeron, who replaced the fired Lane Kiffin in late September. Orgeron immediately returned fun to a dour program -- and wins have followed, none bigger than this streak-snapping win over powerful Stanford. "In our tight-knit family, there was a belief that we were going to find a way to win the game," Orgeron said. "Im proud of our young men. This is something that theyve wanted for a long time now." USCs remarkable defensive performance included two fourth-quarter interceptions and a season-low 17 points from the Cardinal (8-2, 6-2), who followed up last weeks win over Oregon by getting knocked out of the BCS title chase and maybe the Rose Bowl race as well. Heidari nearly lost his job twice this season, and he missed an extra point in the first quarter. But the junior coolly nailed the tiebreaking field goal -- and then got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for running the length of the field to celebrate it. "They all said, We know you got this. You do it every day in practice," Heidari said of his teammates. "They believed in me." Moments later, thousands of USC fans flooded the field. Stanford had won in its last three trips to the Coliseum, including a triple-overtime thriller two years ago, and its last four meetings with USC overall. Soma Vainuku caught an early TD pass and Javorius Allen rushed for a score for USC, which played 38 straight scoreless minutes until Heidaris kick. Nelson Agholor had eight catches for 104 yards, while Marqise Lee had six catches for 83 yards -- and both receivers made big plays on USCs final drive. "I dont know if I pulled them together," Orgeron said. "I think they just came together. The leadership of this program is really coming to the forefront." Tyler Gaffney rushed for 158 yards and two touchdowns for Stanford, which had won three straight while closing in on the chance to host the Pac-12 title game for the second straight year. Kevin Hogan went 14 of 25 for 127 yards, but the Cardinal couldnt regain the lead after trailing 17-10 at half, despite repeatedly getting close. "I think this is the first time anyone on this team has lost to them," Gaffney said. "Its a tough thing to swallow." Stanford tied it with Gaffneys 18-yard TD run on the first drive of the third quarter, but couldnt score on six drives in the final 23 minutes, managing just 88 yards -- 75 on a single drive ending in Dion Baileys interception. USCs offence also struggled throughout the second half, but the Trojans sanctions-depleted defence kept it close despite using just two substitutes for most of the night. "Theyre a good team, and they got healthy at the wrong time for us," Stanford coach David Shaw said. "In the second half, we did a heck of a job defensively. We just didnt make enough plays on offensively. Thats not going to win on the road in this conference." Bailey intercepted Hogans third-down pass at the USC 6 with about 10 1/2 minutes to play, killing what seemed certain to be Stanfords go-ahead drive. Sua Cravens then intercepted a tipped pass at the USC 44 with 3 minutes to play, giving another chance to the Trojans offence. After Lee caught a 13-yard slant pass over midfield on fourth-and-2, the Trojans reached the Stanford 21 before two straight yardage-losing plays pushed them back to the 30 -- and Heidari still nailed his kick. "This is definitely the most electrifying game Ive been a part of in the four years Ive been here," Bailey said. USC hadnt beaten a ranked opponent since 2011, but the Trojans have played with ever-increasing fire and confidence for Orgeron, the longtime defensive line coach whose raw enthusiasm has worn off on the program. Orgeron wasnt thought to be a serious candidate for the Trojans full-time job when he took over for Kiffin, but his players are pushing his name deeper into the discussion with each victory. "Obviously theres going to be some decisions made here after we play UCLA (on Nov. 30)," Orgeron said. "Thats out of my hands." Stanford betrayed a few nerves early. The Cardinal burned two timeouts and committed an illegal-snap penalty on the games first drive, and Ty Montgomery dropped two passes in the opening minutes. USCs opening drive was smooth, with Lee making a tiptoe sideline catch before Vainuku came out of the backfield for a play-action 1-yard TD catch just 6:13 in. Gaffney scored on a 35-yard run moments later when he popped out the back of a scrimmage pile and sprinted past the slumbering USC defence, but the Trojans answered with another long drive capped by Allens 1-yard TD run and a 2-point conversion catch by Lee. Kessler was outstanding in the pocket and on the run, completing 10 straight early passes before Heidaris first field goal put the Trojans up by 10 points early in the second quarter. Stanford added a field goal with 17 seconds left in the first half. After Gaffney capped a 92-yard drive after halftime with his TD run up the middle, Stanford forced a fumble by Kessler at the USC 19 -- but the Cardinals field goal attempt was blocked. Former Stanford lineman Jonathan Martin watched the game from the sideline. Robert Alford Jersey . Although Olivetti, a qualifier, had 13 aces, he failed to force a single break-point chance on Gasquets serve and lost his own three times. Gasquet next plays third-seeded Jerzy Janowicz of Poland, who won had 18 aces in a 6-2, 6-4 win against seventh-seeded Edouard Roger-Vasselin of France.

JOHNS, N.Cordoba, Spain (SportsNetwork.com) - Gareth Bale fired home a last-gasp penalty kick on Saturday as 10-man Real Madrid came away with a difficult 2-1 win over Cordoba at the Estadio Nuevo Arcangel. Real Madrid entered the match looking for a second successive win after skating past Getafe, 3-0, last time out, but it was Cordoba that grabbed the lead after just two minutes when Sergio Ramos was whistled for a handball in the box and Nabil Ghilas confidently slotted home the ensuing penalty kick. Despite falling behind early, Los Blancos battled back to equalize in the 27th minute when Karim Benzema fired past Cordoba goalkeeper Juan Carlos. Things then became more difficult for Real Madrid with eight minutes to play when a moment of madness from Cristiano Ronaldo saw the Portuguese star shown a straight red card as he lashed out at a Cordoba defender and was immediately shown his marching orders by referee Alejandro Hernandez. The home side then went down to 10 men with three minutes to play thanks to a second yellow card shown to Federico Nicolas Cartabia, and Bale fired home the wining penalty in the final minute of normal time to save Reals blushes and keep the club one point clear of rivals Barcelona at the top of the La Liga table. The Catallan club was also in action on Saturday and had little trouble with Elche at the Martinez Valero as Lionel Messi and Neymar both scored braces to lead Barca to a 6-0 rout. Steve Bartkowski Jersey. Barcelona started the scoring barrage in the 35th minute through an unlikely source as Gerard Pique fired home and Messi converted a penalty 10 minutes into the second half to double the lead. Neymar then got into the scoring mood in the 69th and 72nd minutes to make it 4-0, while Messi finished his double two minutes from time and Pedro capped the rout with a goal in stoppage time. Defending La Liga champions Atletico Madrid kept pace with Real and Barcelona on Saturday with a 3-1 win over Rayo Vallecano at the Vicente Calderon. Antoine Griezmann opened the scoring for the hosts after 12 minutes and completed a double in the 22nd minute for a quick two-goal margin. Roberto Trashorras pulled one back for Vallecano in the 35th minute, but it was canceled out by an own goal from Manucho as Atletico walked away with all three points to remain in third place with 44 points. Luciano Dario Vietto scored in the 56th minute to lift Villarreal to a 1-0 win over Levante, while Xabier Prietos 55th-minute tally handed Real Sociedad a 1-0 victory against Eibar.
