World Cup qualifier: England 1-0 Spain (Hemp 3’) Lionesses win sides’ first meeting since Euros final A resolute England gave their chances of ­automatic qualification for 2027’s World Cup a ­tremendous boost as they beat the world champions, Spain, at Wembley and demonstrated they are strong enough defensively to hold off the most technically gifted squad in the women’s game. In a closely fought match in which both teams missed some ­gilt-edged opportunities, the sides were ­ultimately separated by two moments where the ball bounced extremely close to the line; one where it did cross the goalline and another where it did not.

Michael Carrick has shed light on Kobbie Mainoo’s unexpected absence after Manchester United slumped to a 2-1 home defeat against Leeds United, a result that ended a 44-year wait for the visitors at Old Trafford.The midfielder was notably missing from the matchday squad despite having been a consistent presence in recent weeks.His omission raised immediate concerns, particularly given his growing importance in United’s midfield and the club’s ongoing efforts to secure his long-term future.Carrick moved quickly to clarify the situation before kickoff, revealing that the decision to leave Mainoo out was precautionary rather than indicative of a serious injury setback.The 20-year-old, who completed the full 90 minutes in United’s previous outing against Bournemouth nearly a month ago, had also been involved during the recent international break with England national football team.“Over the last day or so, Kobbie just had an issue in training,” Carrick told Sky Sports. “So it seems small but big enough to keep him out tonight. It wasn't worth the risk, to be honest, so we're hoping it's pretty small and it won't be too long.”Mainoo’s recent workload has been notable. In addition to his club duties, he featured twice for...

Ghanaian forward Joseph Opoku has expressed his relief and satisfaction after scoring a match-winning brace for Zulte Waregem, just one week after facing intense criticism and online abuse.The 20-year-old winger proved to be the hero in the Belgian Pro League relegation playoffs, netting twice in the second half to secure a vital 2-1 away victory over FCV Dender.The performance served as a direct response to a difficult period for the former Great Corinthians star.Following a high-profile missed chance in a 1-1 draw against Cercle Brugge the previous week, Opoku became the target of significant backlash from fans.However, his composure at the Dender Football Complex—scoring in the 55th and 62nd minutes—has now placed Zulte Waregem at the top of the playoff table, securing their top-flight survival.Reflecting on his redemption, Opoku noted that the negativity served as fuel rather than a distraction."I’m very happy because last week I got a lot of criticism after the chance I missed," Opoku said after the game."As a player, that keeps you going. This makes me tough, and I just keep calm in my head. I scored two goals, so I’m happy with the bounce back."Since joining the...
