Taiwan yesterday outlasted the Dominican Republic 9-5 in a rain-soaked slugfest in Tainan to take home the bronze medal in the WBSC U-12 Baseball World Cup. Taiwan, who won the previous edition of the tournament in 2019, were eliminated from gold medal contention on Friday with a loss to the US, and needed a comeback win over South Korea a day later to reach yesterday’s third-place playoff. The US and Venezuela were playing for gold in a game that started at 7:45pm. The US were leading 7-2 at the bottom of the fifth inning as of press time last night. Australia’s Donna Lobban said she and her Scottish husband Greg Lobban would not be signing “divorce papers” after she beat him in mixed doubles squash competition at the Commonwealth Games on Friday. Donna Lobban and her partner, Cameron Pilley, came back from a game down to win 9-11, 11-8, 11-8 and reach the semi-finals in Birmingham, England. The defending champion, 35, said she was braced for her husband’s reaction. He retired Willi Castro on what the scoreboard called a 40mph curveball, but Detroit’s Jonathan Schoop hit the next pitch for Erik ten Hag’s first competitive game as manager tomorrow should herald a fresh start for Manchester Untied, but familiar failings behind the scenes have made the Dutchman’s difficult job an almost impossible one. I believe it can help us achieve better results and winning helps motivate the players.”

It was a typical performance from Casemiro. He was a defensive monster against the ball and frequently ventured forwards in the final third. His defensive acumen was on display, as Kroos made 9 recoveries in the game right in front of the defence. This final was no different, the French international had a goal but arguably could have had a brace for himself and was instrumental for Madrid in the final third of the pitch. In attack they managed to play a quick exchanges between the midfield and attack to exploit the space between Madrid’s lines. Japanese international, Daichi Kamada, managed to swoop in between the lines and attack the space between the midfield and defensive lines of Madrid to get the shots off. In the final third, the left bias of Benzema and Madrid’s attack in general was clearly visible. Karim Benzema has been the epitome of standout performers in games in the last few seasons, even when he’s not on the scoresheet. Their pressing was methodical and they were selective in jumping up to apply pressure managing to force Madrid towards the touchline and then engaging them. The Uruguayan was explosive as ever with his ball carries and was Madrid’s only route to create any danger from in the opening half hour. They guarded the central areas of the pitch really well, with their wingback and central midfielders showing good understanding to protect the space in behind them. They had lost one of their biggest threats in Filip Kostic coming into the game, so they had to compensate in some areas. They looked threatening on the transitions and managed to dominate territory over their opponent.

Goals from David Alaba and Karim Benzema gave Real Madrid a 2-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt and a fifth UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday.

We want to pick up where we left off last season," Alaba told RTL. The match also highlighted the growing gap between the Champions League and Europa League competitions, with Madrid being the ninth Champions League team to win the competition in the past 10 years. I believe it can help us achieve better results and winning helps motivate the players." "We were here to win and to collect the next title... Frankfurt fought hard in the closing stages but Madrid were able to dominate the game to win their fifth Super Cup from eight attempts. After the goal, Madrid stepped it up a gear and should have gone 2-0 up, with Benzema uncharacteristically dragging the ball wide with the goal begging in the 41st minute.
