Mac Allister nets a stoppage-time winner for Liverpool following a VAR decision that disallowed an earlier goal. Alexis Mac Allister demonstrated remarkable perseverance. After an 89th-minute goal was disallowed due to a VAR review, the Argentine midfielder found the net again in the seventh minute of stoppage time — and this time, it was validated after a video check — securing Liverpool a 1-0 win against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Sunday. The thrilling conclusion at the City Ground revolved entirely around Mac Allister, who believed he had scored without realizing it after turning away from a clearance by Nottingham Forest defender Ola Aina. The ball deflected off Mac Allister and into the goal, but VAR intervened, indicating it had touched his arm, leading to the disallowance of the goal. Nevertheless, he was present for what was virtually the final kick of the match when Virgil van Dijk’s header was mishandled by Forest goalkeeper Stefan Ortega. From just six meters...

Freiburg ascends to 7th place in the Bundesliga following a 2-1 victory against Gladbach Matthias Ginter and Igor Matanović found the net as Freiburg triumphed over Borussia Mönchengladbach with a score of 2-1, elevating them to seventh place in the Bundesliga on Sunday. Ginter opened the scoring in the 38th minute, executing an acrobatic maneuver to direct the ball into the net following a long throw-in, despite the presence of Gladbach defender Joe Scally. Having previously played five seasons with Gladbach, Ginter chose to temper his celebrations. Matanović, however, displayed no such hesitation when he netted Freiburg’s second goal in the 74th minute, easily tapping the ball in after Moritz Nicolas had saved a shot from Maximilian Eggestein’s cross. Haris Tabaković managed to score a consolation goal for Gladbach late in the match, just one minute after another of his goals was disallowed for offside. Freiburg extended their home winning streak to five matches across all competitio...

The outcome was the golden goal in overtime, securing an emotional victory for the U.S. over Canada in the women’s hockey final at the Milan Cortina Olympics on Thursday night.

Indians dominate in The Hundred, Pakistanis fear not getting a team The English news media BBC has claimed that Indian-owned teams are not considering Pakistani cricketers. Pakistani cricketers are worried about getting a team in The Hundred. Indian-owned teams are turning their backs on Pakistanis. Which is making cricket questionable.
