WASHINGTON: Diego Rossi’s two second-half goals launched Columbus Crew over reigning champions Inter Miami 3-2 to reach the Leagues Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday.
The Uruguayan forward lifted the host Crew level in the 69th minute and netted the decider in the 80th to dethrone Miami, who also lead this season’s overall MLS league standings.
Miami star Lionel Messi did not play, as he was still sidelined with a right ankle injury suffered a month ago in Argentina’s Copa America final win over Colombia.
With the victory,reigning MLS champion Crew will play host to a Saturday quarter-final against New York City, who won 2-1 over Tigres.
Paraguayan midfielder Matias Rojas gave Inter Miami a 1-0 lead in the 10th minute and compatriot Diego Gomez doubled the margin in the 62nd before US striker Christian Ramirez answered for the Crew in the 67th, setting the stage for Rossi’s winning brace.
The tournament features MLS and Liga MX Mexican sides, with Messi leading Miami to last year’s inaugural crown shortly after arriving in Florida.
New York City rallied to reach the last eight.
Argentine midfielder Guido Pizarro, the Tigres captain, opened the scoring with a header in the 18th minute but City netted the equalizer in the 20th through another Argentine midfielder, Maxi Moralez.
Uruguayan Santiago Rodriguez scored the final goal for City in the 65th minute.
At Cincinnati, Tai Baribo’s two goals lifted the Philadelphia Union over the hosts 4-2.
Philadelphia grabbed a 2-0 lead on goals by Danish forward Mikael Uhre in the 51st minute and Israeli striker Baribo in the 61st.
Czech midfielder Pavel Bucha answered for Cincinnati in the 66th minute and US defender DeAndre Yedlin netted an equalizer for the hosts in the 80th minute.
The Union responded on goals by Baribo in the 82nd and US substitute Quinn Sullivan in the 84th.

Next up for Philadelphia will be a home quarter-final on Saturday against Mazatlan, which defeated Cruz Azul on penalties after playing to a 2-2 draw in Washington.
Mazatlan grabbed a 2-0 lead on goals by Bryan Colula in the 40th minute and Panamanian midfielder Edgar Barcenas in the first minute of stoppage time.
Cruz Azul fell to 10 men in the fourth minute of the second half when Argentine defender Gonzalo Piovi was shown a red card.
Cruz Azul, however, was far from done as Uriel Antuna scored in the 84th minute and Colombia defender Willer Ditta added an equalizer in the opening seconds of stoppage time.
In penalties, Antuna, Ditta and Giorgos Giakoumakis failed to convert and Mazatlan won 3-1 to advance.
The Colorado Rapids advanced with a 2-1 home triumph over Toluca.
Brazilian forward Rafael Navarro scored in the 45th minute for Colorado but Portuguese striker Paulinho answered in the 83rd, setting the stage for American Darren Yapi’s winner in the sixth minute of stoppage time.
Next for Colorado is a Saturday quarter-final against Mexican champions Club America, which won 4-2 at St. Louis.
Uruguay’s Brian Rodriguez scored for Club America on a penalty kick in the 86th minute and compatriot Rodrigo Auirre added an insurance tally in the eighth minute of stoppage time.
Rodriguez scored his first goal in the 15th minute but US midfielder Indiana Vassilev equalized for St. Louis in the 49th and German midfielder Eduard Lowen lifted the hosts ahead in the 55th on a penalty kick. Chilean striker Diego Valdes equalized for Club America in the 79th minute.
Host LAFC beat San Jose 4-1 to book a quarter-final Saturday at Seattle.
LAFC opened the scoring on Uruguayan striker Cristian Olivera’s goal in the 17th minute but Argentine midfielder Hernan Lopez answered for the Earthquakes in the 41st.
Gabon’s Denis Bouanga converted a penalty kick in the fifth minute of stoppage time to give LAFC a 2-1 half-time lead.
Poland’s Mateusz Bogusz added a goal for the hosts in the 61st minute and Bouanga scored again in the 66th for a 4-1 LAFC edge.
All-time French goals leader Olivier Giroud entered in the 71st minute for his LAFC match debut after moving from AC Milan in May.

Five things to look out for at the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open

Five things to look out for at the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open

ABU DHABI: The Women’s Tennis Association’s Middle East swing kicks off its three-week stint in the Gulf on Monday with the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open.

Defending champion and top seed Elena Rybakina headlines a stellar field at Zayed Sports City that also includes Tunisian fan favorite Ons Jabeur, recent Australian Open semi-finalist Paula Badosa, last year’s Abu Dhabi finalist Daria Kasatkina, and British wildcard Emma Raducanu.

Here are the main talking points surrounding the action in the UAE capital this week:

Rybakina debuts new coaching partnership

After parting ways with coach Goran Ivanisevic post-Australian Open, World No.5 Rybakina has a new figure in her corner in Abu Dhabi in the form of ex-Association of Tennis Professionals player Davide Sanguinetti.

Stefano Vukov is still part of Team Rybakina but is currently provisionally suspended pending an investigation for an alleged breach of the WTA Code of Conduct. This means he cannot be credentialed at any sanctioned tournament.

Rybakina lost to eventual champion Madison Keys in the Australian Open fourth round last month and says she suffered a back problem during her time in Melbourne.

The Kazakhstani big hitter went straight to Dubai after the opening Grand Slam of the season and underwent treatment for her back before a week’s training with Sanguinetti and Vukov.

“It's really nice to be back,” she told Arab News in Abu Dhabi on Sunday. “I feel like it’s really like a second home for me, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, it’s really nice. I always spend my preparation here and I spend a lot of time here. I’m just really happy to be back and I’m looking forward to start(ing) here.”

Rybakina has a bye in the first round and awaits one of two qualifiers — Sonay Kartal or Katie Volynets.

 

 

Blockbuster openers

The draw revealed several juicy opening matchups with three-time Grand Slam finalist Jabeur taking on former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko, seeded No.7 in Abu Dhabi.

In a clash between two Grand Slam winners, 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu will square off with 2023 Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova, who have both accepted wildcards into the tournament.

Other exciting first rounds include a meeting between recent Australian Open quarterfinalist Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and 2020 Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin, who made her way through qualifying to claim a place in the main draw.

Jabeur took four months off at the end of 2024 to recover from a shoulder injury and returned to action in Australia in January. She made the quarterfinals in Brisbane and the third round in Melbourne and is pleased with her competitive level this early in her comeback.

“It was nice to have a long break. I think mentally and physically it helped me a lot to be back to normal, to have the motivation back, the pleasure of playing tennis back. I feel like, surprisingly, the level was good. I’m not very good at taking long breaks and come back stronger. So it was nice to see that the level is back,” said the 30-year-old.

 

 

Badosa out to build on strong start

Spanish No.2 seed Badosa reached a maiden Grand Slam semifinal in Melbourne last month and is hoping to keep up the momentum that has propelled her back into the top 10 for the first time since October 2022.

After almost retiring last year due to a stress fracture in her back, the 27-year-old has made a remarkable recovery and has won 30 of her last 39 matches on tour.

Speaking of her biggest takeaways from Australia, Badosa said: “I think emotionally how I handled everything, how I managed the pressure, the expectations also, because I think I was coming from a very good preseason, a very good end of the season, so you always have big expectations, I had big expectations of myself. So dealing with all that. I think also the level I gave there, I’m really happy with it and hopefully I can continue that momentum.”

Badosa has a bye in the opening round and will commence her Abu Dhabi journey against Magdalena Frech or Linda Noskova.

Former champ back from maternity leave

Swiss Olympic gold medalist Belinda Bencic lifted the Abu Dhabi trophy two years ago then walked away from the tour seven months later when she became pregnant.

She gave birth to daughter Bella in April 2024 and returned to competitive tennis last October, playing some lower-level tournaments.

Bencic competed in her first WTA-level event post-maternity leave at the United Cup last month and reached the fourth round of the Australian Open shortly after.

Still climbing back up the rankings, Bencic is currently 157th in the world. She will hope to capitalize on her fond memories in Abu Dhabi from two years ago when she faces Rebecca Sramkova of Slovakia in her first round on Tuesday.

Japanese teen set for tour-level debut

Barely 10 days ago, 17-year-old Wakana Sonobe became the first Japanese player to win the Australian Open girls’ singles title and just the second to win a Grand Slam junior singles crown.

This past weekend, she accepted a wildcard into the qualifying draw of the WTA 500 in Abu Dhabi and posted two impressive victories over Hailey Baptiste and Cristina Bucsa to claim a spot in the main draw.

The talented lefty will now make her WTA main draw debut when she takes on China’s Yuan Yue in the opening round on Monday.

Doncic releases emotional farewell message to Dallas after trade sends him to Lakers
  • A native of Slovenia, Doncic had built deep ties to Dallas off the floor, including through many charitable organizations
  • Doncic: As I start the next part of my basketball journey, I am leaving a city that will always feel like a home away from home

NEW YORK: Luka Doncic released an emotional farewell to Dallas on Sunday, the same day a trade sending him from the Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers in a swap for fellow All-NBA player Anthony Davis was finalized.

Doncic said in a letter to the city that he “wanted so badly to bring you a championship” and that he thought he’d spend his career in Dallas.

“For a young kid from Slovenia coming to the US for the first time, you made North Texas fell like home,” Doncic wrote. “In good times and bad, from injuries to the NBA Finals, your support never changed. Thank you not only for sharing my joy in our best moments, but also for lifting me up when I needed it most.”

Doncic was enormously popular in Dallas — and everywhere else. His No. 77 Mavericks jersey ranked eighth among best-sellers through NBAStore.com over the first half of the season. On Sunday night, some Doncic items remained for sale on the Mavs’ shopping site.

His jersey sales will likely skyrocket again now, when the Lakers make his new ones available.

“Grateful for this amazing opportunity,” Doncic wrote in another social media post, linking it to one from the Lakers’ accounts welcoming him to Los Angeles. “Basketball means everything to me, and no matter where I play the game, I’ll do so with the same joy, passion and goal — to win championships.”

Doncic had built deep ties to Dallas off the floor, including through many charitable organizations. He had given large sums of money to various entities in North Texas and arranged for Jordan Brand sneakers — he represents the brand — to be given to frontline workers in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The appreciation was mutual. When Doncic led Slovenia to a berth into the Tokyo Olympics that were held in 2021, Dallas County Commissioners declared July 6 of that year as “Luka Doncic Day” in celebration of both his on- and off-court accomplishments.

In only 422 games, he ranks sixth on Dallas’ all-time scoring list, is second in 3-pointers in Mavs history behind only Dirk Nowitzki, is third on the club list in rebounds and fifth in assists.

“To all the organizations I’ve worked with throughout the Dallas community, thank you for letting me contribute to your important work and join you in bringing light to those who need it,” Doncic wrote. “As I start the next part of my basketball journey, I am leaving a city that will always feel like a home away from home. Dallas is a special place, and Mavs fans are special fans.”

Rory McIlroy overpowers Pebble Beach and wins in a runaway
  • McIlroy won for the 27th time on the tour and is 21st on the career victory list
Updated 03 February 2025

PEBBLE BEACH, California: Rory McIlroy played a game nearly as magnificent as the Pebble Beach scenery Sunday as he powered his way past a pack of contenders and closed with a 6-under 66 for a two-shot victory in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
McIlroy is one of the top attractions in golf, which only added to the appeal of the surprising sunshine and crashing surf at America’s most famous coastal golf course. And just like that, a sleepy start to the PGA Tour season had some life to it.
On a day when six players had at least a share of the lead, McIlroy took the top spot for good with an 18-foot birdie putt on the 10th hole into a stiff breeze along the Pacific. He effectively ended the drama with a towering drive and a 7-iron into the 571-yard 14th hole, setting up an eagle putt from just outside 25 feet.
“To win at one of the cathedrals of golf is really cool,” McIlroy said.
Shane Lowry fell out of a share for the lead when he sent his second shot over a cliff to the right of the par-5 sixth. But he shot 31 on the back nine, including a birdie on the final hole for a 68 that gave him second place alone.
Lucas Glover (67) and Justin Rose (68) were another shot behind. Sepp Straka, who started the final round with a one-shot lead, had a 72 and tied for seventh.
Scottie Scheffler, the world’s No. 1 player whose season was delayed by minor hand surgery from punctured glass while making ravioli, closed with a 67 and tied for ninth.
McIlroy has talked about this being an important year for him, though his focus was more on April through September — an 11th chance to complete the career Grand Slam at the Masters, a return home to Northern Ireland for the British Open, a road Ryder Cup at Bethpage.
This wasn’t a bad start.
“It’s a really cool way to start the season,” said McIlroy, who won for the second time in California. “To get this win this early means a great deal, and hopefully I’ll keep the momentum going into Torrey Pines in a couple weeks’ time.”
The sixth hole began to separate the pack a little. In consecutive groups, Rose went over the cliff with his tee shot and Tom Kim hit down the hill toward the ocean with his second shot. Lowry followed him in the final group, leading to bogey.
But really, McIlroy looked as though he was the player to beat from the second hole, when he hit a tough pitch from 50 yards away over a bunker to a back pin with enough height and spin to set up a 2-foot birdie putt.
But it was after his lone bogey on the tough eighth hole where he pulled away — the 18-foot birdie on the 10th, a tee shot into 8 feet for birdie on the par-3 12th and finally get his due on the 14th hole. McIlroy drilled his drive for the third straight day over a tree, over the bunker complex and into the fairway. The previous two days, he had to settle for par.
This time, he cashed in for an eagle, extending his lead to four shots. And when he hit wedge into 3 feet for birdie on the 15th, it led to one of the best stress-free and gorgeous walks on the PGA Tour.
Everyone else was left in a hopeless chase.
“When he’s good, he’s great. And when he’s not great, he’s good,” Glover said. “There’s a reason he’s got 20-something wins and a bunch of majors and the game he has. Impressive round out there today under the pressure and under the conditions.”
McIlroy won for the 27th time on the tour and is 21st on the career victory list. He’s been stuck on four majors since winning the PGA Championship 11 years ago, and that he is sure to be reminded of that as the Masters gets closers.
For now, this will do. It’s his second victory in a signature event that McIlroy and other top players helped to create.
“When he’s good, he’s great and when he’s not great, he’s good,” Glover said. “There’s a reason he’s got 20-something wins and a bunch of majors and the game he has. Impressive round out there today under the pressure and under the conditions.”
McIlroy won his second signature event — he won at Quail Hollow last year — to earn $3.6 million. He finished at 21-under 267, one shot to par away from the tournament record.
Lowry at least tried to make him sweat, staying within range until missing a 7-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole that would have narrowed the gap to two. His final birdie, however, gave him a tidy consolation of $2.16 million for second place.
“I always say I believe when players like Rory McIlroy turns up and they have their ‘A’ game, they’re pretty impossible to beat,” Lowry said.

NEW YORK: Noah Lyles powered to victory in the men’s 60m while fellow Olympic champion Grant Holloway extended his 11-year unbeaten streak with victory in the 60m hurdles at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix meeting in Boston on Sunday.

American sprint king Lyles, the reigning Olympic and world 100m champion, scorched over the line to win in 6.52sec with the Bahamas’ Terrence Jones second in 6.57sec and P.J. Austin third in 6.60sec.

Italy’s Tokyo Olympic 100m champion Marcell Jacobs was fourth in 6.63sec.

Lyles said afterwards he has finally put victory in Paris last year behind him as he prepares to tackle a new season.

“I’m not gonna act like it’s easy, it’s a little difficult,” Lyles said. “But I know there’s a job to be done and I’m trying to transcend my sport.

“My first job is to make sure that everybody knows that even though I won the (Olympic) medal, I’ll go everywhere and I’m gonna win because I’m the world’s fastest man.”

In other events on Sunday, reigning Olympic 110m hurdles champion and three-time world champion Holloway scorched to victory in the men’s 60m hurdles in a season-best time of 7.42sec. Fred Crittenden was second in 7.54sec with Cordell Tinch third in 7.54sec.

Holloway has not lost an indoor hurdles race since 2014, and said afterwards that with world and Olympic golds in the bank, he is now running to cement his legacy.

“It’s just about building legacy, man,” Holloway said. “I’ve been doing this for so long. I’ve accomplished all my goals. So now it’s just about motivating the youth and then continuing just to build whatever I got to do.”

Holloway joked though that he has not been thinking about being remembered as the greatest sprint hurdler in history.

“I don’t even want to be the G.O.A.T (greatest of all time),” he said. “Usually, when people start calling themselves the goat, that’s when they get worse.”

Elsewhere Sunday, the USA’s women’s Olympic 100m hurdles gold medallist Masai Russell was a comfortable winner of the 60m hurdles in 7.80sec, edging out second-placed Grace Stark (7.81sec) and the Bahamas’ Devynne Charlton, who was third in 7.85sec.

In the women’s 300m meanwhile, Olympic 100m gold medallist Julien Alfred impressed with a blistering victory in 36.16sec.

The 23-year-old Alfred — whose 100m gold in Paris last year was St. Lucia’s first ever Olympic medal— cruised home ahead of Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith, who took second in 36.87sec, with France’s Emma Montoya third in 38.37sec.

In the men’s 300m, Olympic 400m hurdles champion Rai Benjamin secured a comfortable victory in 32.21sec, taking first ahead of compatriot Vernon Norwood (32.39sec) with Matthew Boling third in 32.82sec.

LONDON: Marcus Rashford will look to reignite his career at Aston Villa after joining on loan for the rest of the season from Manchester United, where he has fallen out with recently hired manager Ruben Amorim.

The move was completed late Sunday, with neither Premier League club disclosing any more terms surrounding the deal. The Press Association and other sections of the British media have reported Rashford was joining Villa with a view to a permanent transfer for £40 million ($50 million) and that Villa was paying a loan fee as well as covering the majority of Rashford’s salary, reportedly worth nearly $400,000 a week.

The 27-year-old forward, one of the most famous players in the Premier League, had not played for United, his hometown club, since Dec. 12 amid concerns from Amorim about Rashford’s commitment to training. He has also been overlooked for recent England squads and didn’t play at the European Championship last year, after a season when he was dropped by United on one occasion for disciplinary reasons.

There was speculation about a move to Italy or Saudi Arabia, but Rashford is staying in England and now needs to prove to Villa manager Unai Emery he deserves playing time.

Villa sold Colombia striker Jhon Duran to Saudi club Al-Nassr for a reported fee of £64 million ($80 million) on Friday so needed an attacking player to provide competition for Ollie Watkins.

Rashford scored 30 goals in the 2022-23 season, the most prolific of his career after bursting onto the scene early in 2016 at the age of 18, but hasn’t approached that level since. He has seven goals in all competitions this season.

Amorim recently said he would rather put United’s 63-year-old goalkeeping coach in the squad ahead of someone who isn’t fully committed in training, as he perceives Rashford.

“The reason is the training, what I think a footballer should do in training, in life and every day. If things don’t change, I will not change,” he said. “It’s the same situation for every player. If you do the maximum and the right things then we can use every player.”

At one point, Rashford even acknowledged he was “ready for a new challenge.”

Rashford has made 426 appearances for United, scoring 138 goals, and made a name for himself for his off-the-field work during the pandemic when his lobbying led to the British government agreeing to keep funding meals for poor students after initial resistance.
