KIEV (Reuters) -- Real Madrid fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Dynamo Kiev in their Champions League match on Wednesday, leaving the Group B wide open with two rounds remaining.

Nigerian Ayila Yussuf and Latvia striker Maris Verpakovskis gave the Ukrainian champions a 2-0 lead halfway through a frantic first half.

But 15 minutes later Raul brought Real back into the game with his 48th Champions League goal -- one behind former Real striker Alfredo Di Stefano's all-time European scoring record -- after a perfect feed by Luis Figo.

Figo then levelled the score at 2-2 with a 44th-minute penalty after Ronaldo was tripped inside the box by Dynamo's Moroccan international Badr El Kaddouri.

The result left three teams -- Real, Dynamo and Bayer Leverkusen, who drew 1-1 at AS Roma -- level on seven points with two games remaining.
