The home side had to dig deep against I-League newcomers Chennai City last Saturday and could only find a way past their defence late in the second half, despite dominating the encounter from the word go. But it was Bengaluru coach Albert Roca’s substitues, Roby Norales and CK Vineeth, who found the goals when it mattered. On the back of that performance, we might see the Honduran striker, Norales, given a start against Mumbai....

Churchill coach Alfred Fernandes started with the same starting XI that lost 3-2 against East Bengal except for the injured Dhanachandra Meitei who was replaced by Alber Gonsalves. Chennai City, playing their fifth consecutive away game, went into the tie with two changes. Dharmaraj Ravanan and Alexander Romario replaced Henry Monsang and Charles Anandraj Lourdusamy. Soundararajan’s side should have taken the lead inside 15 minutes but Jean-Michel Joachim missed a sitter from close-range as he headed wide an Edwin Vanspaul cross from the left flank....

The Red Machines will go into the tie seeking to register their first points of the campaign and break their duck. Their last outing at the same venue ended in defeat, with Mumbai FC nicking all three points at the death. But the good news for the fans of the Goans is that Fulganco Cardozo, Richard Costa and Quan Gomes have been added to the squad.

The I-League 2017/18 kicks off in four days and as 10 teams prepare for a new season of football extravaganza, Goal takes a look at the strengths and weaknesses of each team in their hunt for the trophy. Here, we analyse the squad of Kolkata giants East Bengal. The Red and Golds have appointed Khalid Jamil, who led Aizawl FC to the I-League title last season, at the helm of affairs this season in order to bring home the title which has eluded them for 14 seasons!...

I want a team with a winning mentality - Alexis Lukaku, 23, is out of contract in mid-2019 and it appears unlikely the Belgium international will extend his deal. But Koeman wants to keep the Premier League’s top goalscorer at Goodison Park, at least for one more campaign. “I would keep him for next season at least,” he told the Mirror. Koeman and Lukaku have helped Everton into seventh in the table, but they still sit six points off fourth....

Davis rocked the New Orleans Pelicans by requesting a trade in January, but the 25-year-old failed to secure a move before the deadline. The Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics are among the teams linked with a move for Davis, who says he has learned to look after himself. “All the media coverage [is] around me, and now I’m getting a chance to take over my career and say what I want to say and do what I want to do,” Davis said on an episode of ‘The Shop with LeBron James’ on HBO....

Buffon returns to Europe’s top competition after Italy’s ignominious exit from the World Cup, with Sweden’s play-off triumph over the Azzurri denying the 39-year-old a fitting career farewell at Russia 2018. Asked whether he had any consoling word for Buffon at a pre-match news conference, Rakitic suggested it would be ridiculous to assume there is any wisdom left for all-time great top receive on the beautiful game. “If I have to explain something about football to Buffon that would be a difficult challenge....

The 29-year-old batsman was hurt when top-scoring with an innings of 70 in the fifth one-day international against New Zealand at the end of last October. As a result, Rohit missed high-profile home series against England and Australia, but he is ready to captain Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League, which begins next week. Reflecting on his injury, Rohit was quoted by ESPNCricinfo as saying: “To be honest, I was scared when that happened....

Hoysala has been an extremely important part of the Warriors’ side this season and has contributed on numerous occasions with the bat at the top of the order by giving his side the perfect start. The 28-year-old has been growing as a cricketer over the past few years and has developed as a great batsman. He made his first-class debut for Karnataka in the 2016-17 Ranji Trophy, however, he has not got many chances to prove himself yet....

Bangalore - Royal Challengers Bangalore‘s young pacer Jaydev Unadkat said he would like to emulate his teammate Ravi Rampaul and take up the challenge of bowling Super Overs. Jaydev is a happy man after his team was third time lucky on Tuesday as they beat Daredevils in the Super Over, after having lost to Chennai Super Kings on the last ball and Sunrisers Hyderabad in the one-over eliminator. “We’ve played out three last-ball thrillers and I’m happy to finally be on the winning side....

Jose Mourinho’s men lost 1-0 in Switzerland, but Ibrahimovic nevertheless made history, appearing for his seventh club in Europe’s elite club competition, more than any other player. Ibrahimovic has played for Ajax, Juventus, Inter, Barcelona, Milan, PSG and United in the Champions League, though he has never won the trophy. The Swede could not help United to the knockout stages against Basel, as Michael Lang’s 89th-minute goal earned Basel all three points....

The 25-year-old striker has enjoyed another productive season in Italy, netting 29 times in Serie A to claim a share of the Capocannoniere award with Lazio’s Ciro Immobile. His efforts have sparked talk of interest from afar, with the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich reported to be keen. All three European superpowers boast the financial muscle required to get a deal done, even when taking into account a sizeable release clause which will only be active for a few weeks in June....

Here are some of the snapshots of today’s game against the West Indies: Johnson Checks In With Gayle dismissed early, fellow opener Johnson Charles stepped on the gas as he launched a spirited attack on the Indian bowlers. The way he bats, I’m reminded of former WI blaster Ricardo Powell, who would always reserve his best for India. His mini-assault on Umesh Yadav nearly reduced the Vidarbha pacer to tears – in fact, I thought Yadav was going to unload a bucketful....

West Indies take on India in the sixth game of the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 at Kia Oval, London on Tuesday. Going into this match, both teams will be confident as they come into the match after impressive wins in their respective group openers in Group B. Both the teams will be eyeing a semi-final berth as they have two points each from their previous wins. Even though India beat South Africa by 26 runs in the tournament opener, the Champions Trophy 2002 joint-winners have a poor record at the Oval, winning three and losing seven of the 11 ODIs played at this venue, with one game being a no-result....

“I might be able to throw something new in this tournament… I’m equipped enough to do so. I have an ace up my sleeve. The two warm-up games (vs New Zealand and Bangladesh) will give me an indication on how well I go in the tournament,” Ashwin said on the sidelines of an awards function. In case you didn’t know… After an exhausting home season that included 13 Tests, the 30-year-old was advised to rest during the IPL....

Kolkata, Apr 26 (PTI) The ICC today decided to convert the 2021 Champions Trophy scheduled in India into a World T20 event, finally scrapping the eight-team ODI tournament, the context and relevance of which has been questioned repeatedly.
