The decisive stage of the 2026 CONMEBOL Sudamericana quarterfinals is about to begin! This Tuesday (8), at 9:30 p.m., in Buenos Aires, Tricolor will face Boca Juniors (ARG) in the first leg.
São Paulo heads into the clash at La Bombonera on the back of two straight wins: they beat Red Bull Bragantino 2-1 and Atlético-MG 2-0, both at MorumBIS, in the Brazilian Championship.
Tonight's match will mark the reunion between the Brazilians and Argentines after nearly 19 years: the last game took place on September 26, 2007, and ended in a 1-0 win for São Paulo at MorumBIS in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana. With the goal scored by Aloísio at home, Tricolor knocked out Boca Juniors and secured a place in the quarterfinals of the competition. In the first leg, at La Bombonera, the opposition had won 2-1 — at that time, away goals were a tiebreaker.
There have been 20 matches between the two clubs in history, with seven wins for Tricolor, five draws, and eight victories for the Argentines. Each team has scored 29 goals in these meetings.
The teams have already faced each other seven times at La Bombonera, with two wins for São Paulo, one draw, and four wins for the home side. Tricolor won on October 10, 1995, by 3-2, in the Supercopa, and on January 25, 1961, by 5-1, in the South American Octagonal.

Hibernian and Hearts will meet at Easter Road this evening for the first Edinburgh Derby of the season.
Both sides have enjoyed a solid start to the league season, winning two of their first three matches despite losing the other. Hearts have bounced back from their opening day defeat to Aberdeen by beating Dundee United and St. Johnstone, as well as reaching the league phase of the Europa Conference League. Meanwhile, Hibs have beaten Rangers and Dundee following their home defeat to Motherwell on opening day. They fell at the final hurdle for European qualification, losing 3-2 on aggregate to Gent.
Last season, as we all know, Hearts came incredibly close to lifting their first league ***** le since 1960, but a controversial defeat at Celtic Park on the final day of the season saw them lose out to the Hoops. Hibs enjoyed a strong season themselves, finishing fifth with 57 points, securing back-to-back top-half finishes for the first time this decade.
There were four Edinburgh Derbies last season; Hearts won three whilst Hibs won one, that being a 3-2 victory at Easter Road shortly before the turn of the year. In fact, Hearts' win in the final derby of last season was the point at which many thought they were finally going to topple the Old Firm and go on to lift the ***** le, but of course, it wasn't to be in the end.
That Hearts team has since been largely dismantled, with manager Derek McInnes and top scorer Lawrence Shankland departing for Rangers. However, Claudio Braga remains at the club and has looked just as impressive so far this term as he did last, registering a goal and two ***** ists in his first three league outings.

After the 2-1 victory over Red Bull Bragantino this Saturday (29) at MorumBIS in São Paulo (SP), in the 25th round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship, Gustavo Santana spoke in the mixed zone. At 20 years old, the "Made in Cotia" forward scored his first goal for Tricolor's professional team.
"I received a lot of support from the coaching staff and my teammates, which gave me a lot of confidence. I'm here to help, that's what I've always done. I'll always give everything for São Paulo and for the fans who came here and put on a beautiful show," said the number 43.
The forward also commented on the opportunity to start the match.
"We work for this and look forward to this moment a lot. Thank God I was calm for today's game, focused on helping São Paulo. It's very rewarding, and I try to make the most of these moments. It's an honor to have this support and this confidence from the coaching staff," he added.
Tricolor returns to the field against Atlético-MG on Saturday (05) at 6:30 p.m., once again at MorumBIS, in the next round of the Brasileirão.

Matchday 25 of the 2026 Brasileirão kicked off this Saturday (29) with three games.
With both teams involved in the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals, Atlético-MG and Vitória played an entertaining match in Belo Horizonte.

Later, at MorumBIS, São Paulo ended a four-month winless run in the Brasileirão by beating RB Bragantino 2-1.
Manager Dorival Júnior had not beaten a Brazilian team in six months — including the final stretch of his time in charge of Corinthians.

With new tactical adjustments introduced by head coach Dorival Júnior and his ******* istants, Tricolor held its penultimate training session this Thursday (27) before facing Red Bull Bragantino next Saturday (29), at 8 p.m., at MorumBIS, in a match valid for the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship.
The morning session at SuperCT began with a warm-up led by the fitness staff.
Next, the coaching staff oversaw a small-sided confrontation drill, working on situations of numerical superiority and inferiority.
Then, the players carried out tactical training with an eye on the match against the team from Bragança Paulista. There was also additional set-piece work.
Just like last Wednesday (26), center back Arboleda (swelling in the left adductor) took part in the entire training session with the group, while forward Victor Sá (traumatic sprain in the right ankle) completed part of the field activity and continued treatment at REFFIS Plus.

Focused on tactical adjustments for the clash with Red Bull Bragantino, the squad trained this Wednesday (26) at SuperCT and completed another day of preparation with an eye on the match valid for the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship, which will be played next Saturday (29), at 8 p.m., at MorumBIS.
The day began with strength exercises for the lower limbs and physical stations.
After this work with the fitness coaches and a possession drill, the players carried out tactical training with Dorival Júnior and his ***** istants: this stage of the session was divided into 11-v-11 activities and attacking movements.
There was also extra work on set pieces.
Center back Arboleda (swelling in the left adductor) took part in the entire training session alongside his teammates, while forward Victor Sá (traumatic sprain in the right ankle) completed part of the activity on the field and continued treatment at REFFIS Plus.

Jessica Alba showed off her workout sartorial agenda with a sculpted post-workout photo. The actress took to social media on August 24 to share a mirror selfie from her home gym.
The 45-year-old rocked a burgundy athleisure set featuring a micro sports bra and figure-hugging, high-waisted leggings. Jessica accessorized with layered gold necklaces and a pair of matching stud earrings. Her brunette locks were swept back into a low bun and she opted for a makeup-free complexion with a glowing base.
Jessica's toned figure is courtesy of her fitness regime that blends high-intensity workouts with flexibility exercises. In 2024, Jessica's personal trainer Ramona Braganza told Shape the actress enjoys Iyengar yoga, which focuses on holding poses longer. "She finds it very beneficial for stretching her body out," said Ramona.
Jessica Alba wore a burgundy workout set (@ Instagram)
"I attribute my athletic body to the martial arts, gymnastics, dance, and strength training I did while filming Dark Angel. That's made me strong and really set the bar," Jessica told Shape. "If you can just do it two or three times a week, a little bit of exercise whether it's yoga or going for a walk or cycling class or something...go for it," she also explained to E! News.

Flamengo saw the gap to Palmeiras widen in the Brasileirão, but the upcoming matches point to a favorable scenario.
Fla will play FOUR of their next FIVE matches in the competition at the Maracanã. Their only trip will be to face Remo in Pará.
In this home stretch, Flamengo will face Botafogo (11th place), Mirassol (17th), Corinthians (10th), and RB Bragantino (7th).
Palmeiras, on the other hand, will play only two home matches during this period, one of them a derby against São Paulo.
A positive run could take Flamengo to the top of the table — or at least help them cut the gap to Palmeiras.

Atlético drew 0-0 with Internacional this Saturday (22) at Beira-Rio, in the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship.
With a heavily changed lineup, and away from Belo Horizonte, Galo earned another important point in the competition.
The result extended Galo's unbeaten run to 11 matches. The team was coming off a draw with Bragantino in the Copa Sudamericana, a result that secured qualification for the quarterfinals, and now it also keeps the streak alive in the Brasileirão.
With an eye on the derby against Cruzeiro in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals, head coach Eduardo Domínguez opted for an alternative lineup. Names that have been important throughout the season were rested, while players with fewer minutes were given an opportunity.
Among the new faces was Fred, who made his debut in the Galo shirt. The midfielder came on in the second half and took part in the closing stages of the match.

Newcastle United's goalkeeping department has undergone a huge transformation this summer following the arrivals of two new goalies and the departure of on-loan Aaron Ramsdale.
All of that left Nick Pope facing the prospect of beginning the new Premier League season outside Matthias Jaissle's starting XI, if not entirely out of Tyneside, as there have been suggestions of a likely sale ahead of the new campaign.
The Magpies have spent heavily on two younger goalkeepers, paying £25.7 million (€29.8 million) for Lukas Hornicek from Braga and £18.5 million (€21.5 million) for Ewen Jaouen. Pope, meanwhile, has been omitted from Newcastle's last three preseason friendlies while entering the final year of his contract, and Jaissle already acknowledged that both sides were looking for a solution just over a week ago.
Despite all of those signs pointing toward a possible departure, talkSPORT has now reported that Pope has no intention of simply surrendering his Newcastle career and is prepared to compete with Hornicek for the No. 1 job.
"Nick Pope wants to stay at Newcastle and fight for his place, talkSPORT understands," the outlet reported. "Pope's status as the Magpies' number one goalkeeper is in doubt following the arrival of giant Czech stopper Lukas Hornicek."

Danny Sprinkle and the Washington Huskies are reportedly interested in a newly eligible player.
South Alabama guard Chaze Harris, the reigning Sun Belt Player of the Year, has heard from Washington, SMU, and Seton Hall in the transfer portal after being granted an injunction to become eligible for the 2026-27 season, according to a report from 247Sports' Dushawn London.
Harris' injunction stems from similar cases around the country, granting fourth-year seniors who have recently graduated the opportunity to return to school in the wake of the NCAA's change to a 5-in-5 eligibility model that gave class of 2023 athletes and later the ability to play five years of competition. A similar injunction recently allowed Washington football defensive lineman Ta'ita'i Uiagalelei to return to the Huskies shortly after the beginning of fall practice.
What makes Washington's reported interest more confusing than all of the legalese, however, is that the Huskies' roster is full. Sprinkle's team has 15 players as of right now: Wesley Yates III, Nikola Dzepina, Mady Traore, Lathan Sommerville, Jasir Rencher, Rutgers transfer Harun Zrno, Davidson transfer Parker Friedrichsen, Gonzaga transfer Steele Venters, San Francisco transfer Ryan Beasley, Texas Tech transfer LeJuan Watts, Australian Tristan Devers, Croatian Boris Tišma, Brazilian Wini Braga Silva, freshman Lattimore Ford, and walk-on Brandon Roy Jr.
The Huskies added a 16th player - Dzepina - last season, but were only able to do so because Traore suffered a season-ending injury before the first game. In order to add Harris, a similar situation would need to occur. One possibility is that Rencher will be held out of games this season as he recovers from heart surgery - although he has been participating in summer workouts, there is no clarity on whether he has been cleared for game action. Another is that one of Washington's other players has suffered an as-yet unreported injury serious enough that the Huskies want a former conference player of the year to step in and give the Huskies a boost.

Two goals, impressive numbers, and an unforgettable afternoon at Arena MRV. Tomás Cuello was one of the standout performers in Galo's 3-0 win over Grêmio and, last Sunday, lived one of those days that help define a career.
The goals took the Argentine to six this season, matching his 2025 total. With another six ***** ists, Cuello now has 12 direct goal contributions in 2026. For Atlético, he now has 78 matches, 64 as a starter, 12 goals, and 13 ***** ists — 25 direct goal contributions since joining the club.
But Sunday afternoon cannot be explained by numbers alone. It is the result of a journey that began long before Cuello put on the Galo shirt.
To understand the player who now decides matches and receives the love of the Massa at Arena MRV, you have to go back a few years. Back to Tucumán, through his first experience in Brazilian football, and into a story that says a lot about the Argentine's personality.
During the pandemic, while still playing for Red Bull Bragantino, Cuello had to leave Brazil and return to Argentina. When football resumed, he got the news that he had to return to the club. There were no flights available.

The Washington Huskies men's basketball team returned six players from last season's squad that finished 16-17 overall.
This left the Huskies with nine spots on the roster to fill, which it did via a trio of international signings: forward Wini Braga (Brazil), forward Boris Tisma (Croatia) and guard Tristan Devers (Australia); transfer portal additions: guard Harun Zrno (Rutgers), guard Ryan Beasley (San Francisco), forward LeJuan Watts (Texas Tech), forward Steele Venters (Gonzaga), guard Parker Friedrichsen (Davidson) and Class of 2026 commit, small forward Lattimore Ford.
Even with Washington's roster at full capacity, that hasn't prevented the team from looking at other players currently available.
According to a post on "X" from 247Sports recruiting ****** yst Dushawn London, 2025-26 Sun Belt Player of the Year and former South Alabama guard Chaze Harris has hear from the Huskies, Seton Hall and Southern Methodist (SMU).
Harris graduated and ran out of eligibility last season, but entered the transfer portal and was granted a fifth year of eligibility after receiving an injunction in court against the NCAA.

Barcelona are set to part ways with promising midfielder Tommy Marques, with Portuguese club Braga reaching an agreement to sign the 19-year-old on a permanent transfer.
Transfer market specialist Fabrizio Romano has given the move his trademark "Here we go", confirming that the agreement between Barcelona and Braga is now in place.
The deal will see Barcelona receive €10 million upfront, with a further €2 million available through add-ons.
Marques has already accepted Braga's proposal despite attracting interest from two German clubs.
As stated, Tommy Marques is heading for a permanent Barcelona exit after Braga won the race for his signature.

#agreement #permanent

Barcelona have reportedly agreed a €10 million fee with Braga for 19-year-old midfielder Tommy Marques on a busy day of transfer activity for the Catalan giants.
According to The Athletic, the Catalans will receive an initial €10 million fee for their academy graduate and could earn another €2m in add-ons from the deal.
Marques still has to agree personal terms with Braga but there are not expected to be any issues on that front and it's expected he will shortly seal a transfer to the Portuguese side.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona also have the right of first refusal if any future bids come in for Marques.
The move comes just hours after reports emerged that Barcelona had agreed a deal with Manchester City for Rodri. The World Cup winner is now expected to complete his move to Barca in the coming days.

Matchday 23 of the 2026 Brasileirão kicked off this Saturday (15).
In the first match of the day, Fluminense came from behind to beat Palmeiras 3-2 at the Maracanã.
The match featured refereeing controversy, Hulk entering the "grandpas' ranking", and coach Abel Ferreira arguing with journalists.
Next, Athletico-PR and RB Bragantino drew 1-1 at Arena da Baixada.
The standout performer was goalkeeper Tiago Volpi, who stood on his head and shut down most of Furacão's attacking moves.

Corinthians are taking a break from the CONMEBOL Libertadores to turn their attention back to the Brazilian Championship. At 7:30 p.m. this Sunday (16), at Neo Química Arena, Timão will face Cruzeiro in the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The match will be broadcast on Amazon Prime.
The Corinthians squad had only one day to prepare for the round. After drawing away to Rosario Central (ARG) on Thursday night (13), Timão returned from Argentina on Friday (14) and reported back on Saturday afternoon (15) at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava.
Timão's afternoon began with a tactical instruction video in the Flexform Briefing Room. After strength work in the gym and a warm-up on the pitch, head coach Fernando Diniz led a ten-versus-ten tactical exercise. He used the session to instruct the team in various game situations. Set pieces were also worked on.
Coming off a 2-0 win over Red Bull Bragantino, Timão enter this round with 32 points in eighth place. Available to Fernando Diniz for the match, midfielder André Carrillo wants a very alert Corinthians side for this direct clash. Cruzeiro have one point more than Alvinegro and sit in fifth place.
"Playing at home is always important. We know we're in a good moment, the team is improving. We're going for the three points, as we always do. Cruzeiro have quality players and an experienced team. We have to stay alert; we can't give away any openings because we are very strong at home," he shared.

Celtic have been handed a significant opening in the pursuit of a Hibernian midfielder, Miguel Chaiwa, with the player's representative claiming that a £3m fee could be enough to complete the transfer.
According to CeltsAreHere, agent Boudjemai Youcef believes his client can leave Hibs for £3m, despite reports that the Edinburgh club value him above that figure. The midfielder remains keen on a switch to Celtic, while the Glasgow club's next move depends on how its midfield recruitment develops.
That distinction matters. The £3m figure comes from the player's camp, rather than confirmation that Hibs have accepted it. The Scottish Sun reported today that Hibs continue to seek more than £4m for the 22-year-old, who remains under contract until 2028. So, for now, supporters should treat the £3m claim as a negotiating position rather than a settled transfer price.

A £3m deal would make sense for Celtic, provided the club view the midfielder as more than a squad body. He played 28 Scottish Premiership matches for Hibs in 2025/26, started 22 and scored once, according to Opta. Those numbers don't scream attacking midfielder, but they do show a young player who became a regular presence in a demanding league.

In a recent report, journalist Graeme Bailey mentioned that Manchester City are in talks to land Barcelona youngster Tommy Marques. It has been claimed that the Mancunian club will have to compete with Borussia Dortmund and Braga in the race to sign the Spanish talent in this transfer window.
Marques is a product of Barcelona's La Masia academy and deserves credit for breaking into their first team last season. The 19-year-old featured in two matches for the Catalan club in the previous campaign.
The talented teenager is currently one of the most gifted young central midfielders in La Liga. Hence, Man City would do well to get a deal over the line for him this month.
His current contract at the Catalan club will run out in the summer of 2028. Hence, the Mancunian giants would have to make a convincing offer if they want to recruit him in this transfer window.

Managerless Newcastle announced the signing of Czech goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek from Portuguese side Braga on Monday.
Hornicek has agreed a five-year deal after the Magpies activated his 30-million-euro (£25.7 million, $34.6 million) release clause, and he becomes the club's fifth signing of the summer.
"The last few days have been an emotional rollercoaster from when I first heard about the move and now I'm so happy to be here," said the 24-year-old, who is expected to supplant Nick Pope as first-choice goalkeeper.
"I know Newcastle is a huge football city, with 52,000 fans at St James' Park creating an incredible atmosphere and pushing the team every game. I can't wait to play in front of them."
Newcastle sporting director Ross Wilson said Hornicek had "firmly established himself as one of Europe's top young goalkeepers".
