Liverpool will face Monterrey in their Fifa Club World Cup semi-final after the Mexico side beat Al-Sadd 3-2. Left-back Leonel Vangioni gave Monterrey the lead with a 35-yard rocket before Rogelio Funes Mori doubled their advantage in first-half stoppage time. Baghdad Bounedjah pulled one back for Al-Sadd before Carlos Rodriguez restored Monterrey's two-goal lead. Abdelkarim Hassan scored a late consolation but Monterrey hung on.
No-one impressed more in the opening half-hour than the goalscorer Ogkmpoe, who had already caused Jullien and Kristoffer Ajer significant problems and forced Fraser Forster into a good save before finding the net. Scott McMann skinned Forrest down the left to win a corner, which Blair Alston flighted in, and Ogkmpoe beat Jullien to it to head past Forster at the near post.
The match between Universidad de Chile and Brazil's Internacional, the first of a two-leg qualifying encounter, continued as firemen fought the blaze on the terraces, South American media reported. The match ended 0-0. Chile was hit by a wave of unrest last year as people angry at inequality and shabby social services took to the streets.
Not for the first time a football club in Madrid is grabbing the headlines in Spain. But this time it's not just Real's 'white giants' from the Bernabeu, nor the irritating kid brother that is Diego Simeone's Atletico that are getting all the attention. Some 15 kilometres away from the city's iconic Puerta del Sol landmark is Getafe, a municipality probably best described as being to Madrid what Croydon is to London.
Odds yesterday when they first appeared were somewhere near 1.60 for the home win a bit of a mistake by the bookies but now they have gone down a lot as NTUPES is alongside Ming and Red Lions the 3 clubs in Taiwan that are bound to end at the bottom zone of the league table but there is really no relegation from this league level. There is a possibility that the guests do get to score in this one having watched Tainan City struggling at home with Red Lions winning just 3-2 that game and their defense was not at its best.
But Championship clubs lost a combined £300m, with a ratio of players' wages to turnover of 107%. Deloitte believes teams in the division should work to a salary cap of 70% of revenue to ensure their survival. Jones said: "You've got 107% of revenue going out on wages. You can see the problem looming. A salary cap is a blunt instrument, but if you can only spend 70% of revenue on salary, and applied that in 2018-19, you take £300m out of the wage bill and wipe out the losses.
It is also not clear how Uefa intends to play out the Champions League and Europa League this season, with both still to complete the last-16 stage. The option of fitting games into the schedule around league matches as normal remains, as does completing the tournaments after domestic leagues have finished. No deadline has been put on making a final decision but the latter choice would seem more likely as it is hoped - by August - that travel restrictions will have eased.
I could not see, hold, touch anything with my baby for two more weeks and that was the hardest part for me as I’d just given birth and all I wanted to do was hold her,” she told BBC World Service's Sporthour. LeBlanc, who retired in 2015 after making 110 appearances during her 18-year international career, spent several days in hospital after being diagnosed with fluid on the lungs and high blood pressure.

In the close season, the club offloaded strikers Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez and brought in defenders Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan Bissaka, but the squad looks short on quality and is currently fifth in the league, six points behind Chelsea, who occupy the fourth Champions League qualification spot.
The La Liga leaders instead appointed former Real Betis boss Quique Setien. I did not agree to this offer, especially as it is too early for me to coach Barcelona," said Xavi, 39. But it will still be my dream to coach the team in the future. Xavi, who made more than 750 appearances for Barcelona between 1998 and 2015, added that he "loves" Setien. I love the way he works and I expect him to succeed with the team," he said.
Three of the last five Wolfsburg home games have had over 2.5 goals scored in them. Both of the Wolfsburg home games in this group have seen over 2.5 goals scored in them. Two St Etienne away games in this group have seen nine goals scored. Wolfsburg battle it out with St Etienne and are still in with a chance of winning their Europa League group.
Football could be on the back-burner for a long, long time. The clearest way to do everything, to make sure next season is not affected and to avoid all the other complications, is to stop the season now, and award the title to Liverpool and the teams in the bottom three now go down. I am not saying it is fair, but there is no fair way. At least by having a clean break, you would know when the next season is going to start.
Serbia are yet to lose a singles match this week. Russia only finished second in their group. Russia are without their best player Daniil Medvedev. Serbia take on Russia in the last eight of the Davis Cup Finals. They are battling it out to see who takes on Canada in the semi-finals. The Canadians took advantage of Nick Kyrgios being absent to get a 2-1 win over the Australians.
However, it's important to put Motherwell's away form into context. They have lost three on the bounce, but they've faced the top two during that spell and Hibernian, who're a top-six side at present. Against bottom-six teams, Motherwell are unbeaten away from home, winning three out of four.
It took Getafe a few weeks to adapt to their regular Thursday / Sunday scheduling and they began the season slowly with just one win from their first seven league matches, but they have since won six from nine to move up to 5th where they are level on points with 4th placed Real Sociedad.
Football is a confidence game. Wolves are full of it and Bournemouth need a dictionary to remind them of what it is. We expect the home side to continue their good form with a clinical win over their guests. Back Wolves to win to nil.

In the ‘Correct Score’ market a 2-2 draw appeals. Liverpool are no great side defensively, as we’ve seen both in this competition and in the Premier League of late. However, their attacking quality is not to be questioned. Moreover, Salzburg have conceded multiple goals in three out of five in this group, so a relatively high-scoring draw appeals.
Scotland will discover their Euro 2020 play-off semi-final opponents on Friday (11:00 GMT), while Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland know theirs. Northern Ireland will be away to Bosnia-Herzegovina, with the Republic of Ireland in Slovakia - and the winners of those two games in March will meet for a place in the finals. Scotland will be at home to Bulgaria, Hungary, Israel or Romania. If they win, they will face Norway or Serbia in August for a finals place.

Melbourne Victory do still have quality within the squad and they have often been on the cusp of a result this season. We think that trend could continue this weekend and we’re predicted a 1-1 draw between the sides, a result that is likely to leave both sides a little disappointed.
Is he destined to see out the remainder of his playing days in Turin, would a romantic return to a former club be plausible, or could he explore Major League Soccer before hanging up those golden boots? HAVE YOUR SAY Whether you are Messi, Ronaldo or perhaps neither, now it’s your turn to get involved.
Liverpool has been unstoppable and although Jurgen Klopp should make some changes on the squad for this match since this is a Cup contest, we expect Liverpool to present again a very competitive team. The Reds want to make history this season with incredible numbers in the league but also by winning the FA Cup and looking to win back to back titles in the Champions League. Everton is also a good team with very interesting players but it's impossible to go against Liverpool at the moment, which makes their -1.5 Asian Handicap the best line to take on this one.

The 22-year-old Manchester United forward had been a doubt to return this season, and he might have even missed the now-postponed Euro 2020 tournament with England, but he has now said: ‘I’m in a much better place, I’m much happier than I was about a month ago, so things are looking positive. Paper Round’s view: This enforced break will be handy for Rashford, as it will a few other players who were set to miss out on the rest of the season - or much of it - with injury.
Plenty on Twitter saying that's Van Dijk's nephew next to him but I'm not too clued up on VVD's extending family. Messi's pride Morning. Welcome back to our rolling coverage of football news. Where to begin? Well let's here from a certain Lionel Messi, who picked up a record-breaking sixth Ballon d'Or last night.
Media playback is not supported on this device Bernardo an 'exceptional person' - Guardiola defends Silva after racism row It is the second time Guardiola has defended Silva's character after calling him "an exceptional person" shortly after the incident happened. Portugal international Silva was also fined £50,0000 by the FA and had to complete an education programme. There was no hearing after Silva admitted the initial charge on 2 October, acknowledging some people may be offended by the "historical connotations of the Conguitos character".
Together with all the stakeholders, we have started detailed discussions today to complete our assessment of the rapid development of the worldwide health situation and its impact on the Olympic Games, including a scenario of postponement. We are working very hard, and we are confident that we will have finalised these discussions within the next four weeks.
Cas said "some hearings may be conducted by video conference" because of the travel restrictions in place because of the coronavirus pandemic. Cas arbitration procedures involve an exchange of written submissions between the parties while a panel of arbitrators is convened to hear the appeal. The independent adjudicatory chamber of the Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) - Uefa's financial watchdog - said it found City had broken the rules by "overstating its sponsorship revenue in its accounts and in the break-even information submitted to Uefa between 2012 and 2016", adding that the club "failed to cooperate in the investigation".
But he didn't face the club where he made his name until almost four years later when the two sides met in the Champions League round of 16. Inevitably, United's former golden boy Ronaldo scored in both legs to secure a place in the quarter-finals for Real Madrid and send Sir Alex Ferguson's side crashing out.
Currently the home team CD Lugo is showing signs of improving the game quite well; with 5 consecutive unbeaten matches with 2 wins and 3 draws. However, that also could not help them escape the dangerous group. After 31 matches, the CD Lugo ranked 20th in the rankings with 34 points. The distance of CD Lugo and the safety group is only a small point. It is true that the epidemic came at the wrong time, coming back to this match; CD Lugo is able to go home but it is very difficult to get 3 points.

The team were due to prepare for Thursday's semi-final against Atletico Madrid at local side Al-Ittihad Club's training ground, but the driver instead took them to the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium where Super Cup matches are taking place. The two venues are separated by over 30 kilometres and the team's bus finally arrived at the training ground 45 minutes behind schedule, delayed by the coastal city's notorious traffic levels.
Coming into this game, Virtus Entella has picked up 5 points from the last 5 games, both home and away. That is 1 points per game on average. BTTS has landed in an intriguing 4 of those game. Virtus Entella has scored 5 Times in the last 5 fixtures.
I can tell you that last season when Jeonbuk won the title with ease and Seoul was also in the fight for the title till late on when they had a poor run in the ending of last season but still got themselves a Champions League spot for this new season, Jeonbuk won here first with 4-2 a game in which the score at half-time was already 2-2 but Jeonbuk overall has better players and a more attacking orientated style of play which secured them all 3 points.
Nonetheless, Levante's recent form should make them competitive, and they are likely to give Atleti's traditionally firm backline something to ponder. Granotas have scored in all but one of their last eight league matches, netting 15 in total, whilst they have also managed to score in six of their nine away outings this season.

Jadon Sancho scored twice as Borussia Dortmund thrashed Fortuna Dusseldorf, becoming only the fourth teenager to score 20 Bundesliga goals. The 19-year-old England international had a goal ruled out by VAR before slotting in his opener after a one-two with Marco Reus. And he smashed in another from Achraf Hakimi's cutback. Reus also scored twice for Dortmund, with Thorgan Hazard netting their other.
But this movement feels like more than just sour grapes. Because in recent years true ‘success’ has been redefined. Leicester’s title season was a marvel, but we needed the narrative of 5000/1. Zinedine Zidane won three Champions League titles in a row and some still question whether he’s a top level manager.

The 26-year-old Moroccan international will cost around £42 million in the summer, with Ajax unwilling to sell him in the winter transfer window. Chelsea boss Frank Lampard will then look to Leicester City’s Ben Chilwell, a striker, a central defender and possibly a goalkeeper too. Paper Round’s view: Ziyech had an excellent season for Ajax during their impressive Champions League season, and might have moved on had Frenkie De Jong and Matthijs De Ligt not left at the same time.
Zinedine Zidane had been coming under pressure earlier on in the season but Real's form has notably improved in recent weeks and the visitors have real momentum behind them now. Indeed, Real are unbeaten in 9 matches, winning 7 times in the process and level on points with Barcelona in La Liga, things are looking good across all fronts.
Ward has also been involved in securing new contracts and signings this summer - 10 players have penned new deals and BBC Sport understands more are to be announced. All staff and players are believed to have been on last week's meeting call, which the team had hoped would provide answers on why Ward was allowed to leave. Sheffield United Women, a semi-professional team, have been competing in the second tier for two seasons; Ward was described by the club as "instrumental" in them achieving Championship status in 2018.
He was also upset about City's first goal where referee Chris Kavanagh appeared to obstruct United defenders before Kevin De Bruyne found Sergio Aguero for the opener. I've been to see the referee and he has been honest about it. We make mistakes and I believe he made one too," said Wilder. We talk about the new rule where if the referee touches the ball then he has to blow up.
In Arsenal's 2-1 defeat by Chelsea last month, a big factor was the Gunners' lack of fitness. They conceded both goals in the last 10 minutes of the game and they looked dead on their feet. That is purely because new manager Mikel Arteta is wanting to play in a similar way to Manchester City, where he worked alongside Pep Guardiola before. It's about high pressing and a lot of aggressive play in the attacking third.
Fourth placed Shakhtyor host Energetik who are in second but only a point ahead of them. The home side have won each of their last three league fixtures. Their most recent victory came when beating Dinano Minsk 1-0 thanks to a goal in the second half.
