No diving: Leverkusen beats Bayern 2-1 to leave Dortmund top

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:11:35 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Amine Adli was twice booked for diving, twice excused, and Bayer Leverkusen scored twice from the resulting penalties to upset Bayern Munich 2-1.Bayern’s third defeat of the season left Borussia Dortmund top of the Bundesliga on Sunday.Referee Tobias Stieler had VAR to thank — twice — after getting it wrong initially both times. He apologized to Adli on each occasion after consulting replays which showed the French player had, in fact, been fouled first by Benjamin Pavard, then Dayot Upamecano. “It was the perfect example today of great collaboration with the video assistant,” Stieler said. “He gets a lot of complaints and is always very harshly criticized. Today it was a lifesaver for the game.”Exequiel Palacios scored both penalties to end Bayern’s four-game winning run across all competitions and leave Dortmund one point clear with nine rounds remaining.“It was a very important game for us. We knew that before the game but were unable to show it on...

El Clásico: FC Barcelona prevalece 2-1 frente al Real Madrid en un partido de infarto

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:11:35 GMT

MADRID, España- El Barcelona ha dejado prácticamente sentenciada la lucha por el título de liga tras imponerse al Real Madrid por 2-1 en un clásico que se resolvió entre la falta de pegada del equipo de Carlo Ancelotti cuando tuvo opciones para recobrar vida y dos goles en los tramos finales de ambos periodos, el último obra del marfileño Franck Kessie en la prolongación.El triunfo otorga al equipo de Xavi Hernández doce puntos de ventaja. Queda bastante campeonato, pero es una diferencia que se antoja prácticamente imposible de remontar para un cuadro blanco sin colmillo, con Vinicius Junior prácticamente como único recurso en ataque ya que Karim Benzema demostró estar muy lejos de su mejor versión.No pudo ni siquiera rentabilizar el equipo de Ancelotti el autogol inicial del uruguayo Ronald Araujo (m.9) al desviar un centro de Vinicius, que podía haber supuesto un golpe muy duro para el Barcelona, que había salido con mucha más mordiente y que hizo trabajar al meta belga Thibaut C...

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Catilin Clark admits she didn’t have her best game, but it was enough to get Iowa to the Sweet 16.The unanimous AP All-American had 22 points and 12 assists to help the Hawkeyes defeat Georgia 74-66 in a second-round women’s NCAA Tournament game Sunday.Clark was held scoreless for 13 minutes in the first half, but scored 14 second-half points as the Hawkeyes (28-6), the No. 2 seed in Seattle Regional 4, finally shook off the 10th-seeded Lady Bulldogs (22-12). She made just 6 of 17 shots, but either scored or assisted on 30 of Iowa’s 33 second-half points.“I think any time you’re one of the 16 teams who get to keep playing basketball, it’s pretty special,” Clark said. “But it wasn’t a huge party or celebration in the locker room. This wasn’t our goal. It’s one of the steps for reaching our goal, but it’s not the end-all, be-all for us.”Clark knew she could have hit more shots, but was happy with the win.“I probably could have made a couple of ...
