Guernsey FC manager Tony Vance praised the character of his side as they came from a goal down to beat Little Common 2-1.
The victory was the Green Lions' fourth consecutive Southern Combination Premier Division win and moved them up to fifth in the table.
Sam Ellis had given Little Common a first-minute lead as he beat the offside trap and finished past Seb Sheppard.
But Fin du Port equalised three minutes later when he lobbed the goalkeeper and Archie Drillot got proved to be the winner seven minutes into the second half as he reacted quickest to Will Fazakerley's saved shot.
"It was good character from the boys - to go in [at half-time] 1-1 was probably a bit harsh on us and fortunate for them because we had all the pressure, we were pushing them back and we had some good quality at times, but the end product wasn't quite there," Vance told BBC Radio Guernsey.

Modern football is a game of two parts: the first hour or so, dictated by carefully curated gameplans and training ground patterns; and the final half-hour when a flurry of substitutes come on, rigid structures fade away and a match opens at the seams. ***** nal were dire for most of this game at the City Ground, shut out by Nottingham Forest's red wall. But yet again the power of Mikel Arteta's "finishers" decided a match.
Noni Madueke was sent on at half-time for Eberechi Eze, who had been statuesque at his station on the left touchline, which, in fairness, is not his position. With the clock ticking towards 80 minutes, Madueke did what Eze hadn't and drove at Forest's defence before unleashing a shot, which took a fortunate deflection off Jair Cunha on its way past the helpless Matz Sels. It went down as ***** nal's only shot on target, and in truth it might have been curling wide.
This was the third game in a row in which Arteta rang the changes in the second half as his team struggled to click, after Leeds last weekend and Lille in midweek. Once again he made a triple substitution on 65 minutes, sending on Jurrien Timber, Mikel Merino and Viktor Gyokeres, and once again a stubborn defence was worn down in the final stages. No Premier League side has generated more goals and ***** ists from the bench since the start of last season.

Forest were excellent in their determination to blunt ***** nal's attack. Like Eze, Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka had little joy, and Oliver Glasner took positives from a performance of cohesion and spirit. Liam Delap was a brilliant nuisance in attack and could have equalised in the final minutes but for Ezri Konsa's last-ditch block. Murillo nearly scored the goal of the season, dribbling in from the left touchline before curling just over the bar with one of the last kicks. But Forest remain third from bottom after a third successive defeat, and their wait for a first home goal of the season goes on.

2,745 is a pretty substantial figure, and fortunately, it's one Roma will no longer need to dwell on. That was the number of days between their last Champions League game, against Porto in 2019, and Thursday's clash with Fenerbahçe upon their return to the competition.
Roma claimed a 1-1 draw away from home, going ahead via Bryan Cristante before Archie Brown equalised for the hosts.
So, what were the numbers that stood out from the game?
As in the number of Champions League debutants Roma had on the pitch, including three in their starting lineup. Of course, everyone except Cristante, a veteran of the 2018-19 season, was playing in the Champions League for Roma for the first time. But Gianluca Mancini, Manu Koné and Wesley were newcomers to the competition altogether. So were substitutes Niccolò Pisilli and Rodrigo Mora, who were aged 14 and 11 respectively when Roma last played a Champions League fixture.
As it happens, the last time Roma had five Champions League debutants in the same game was against Atlético Madrid in September 2017, when Alisson Becker, Bruno Peres, Juan Jesus, Grégoire Defrel and Lorenzo Pellegrini made their bows in Europe's premier competition. The only time Roma have had more Champions League debutants on the pitch in a single game was their first game in the competition in 2001.

Manchester United clashed heads with Everton at the Hill ****** inson Stadium earlier today as they hoped to secure a win on the road in the Premier League. The Red Devils made a decent start to the game and managed to get to the half-time break with a goalless scoreline.
Bryan Mbeumo scored the opening goal for the visitors in the 47th minute before Tyrique George equalised for Everton with a great effort in the 83rd minute. Benjamin Sesko put his team 2-1 ahead just five minutes later, but Ainsley Maitland-Niles equalised for the Toffees with a great strike in injury time. The match ended with Michael Carrick's men securing a lackluster 2-2 draw away from home.
Let's take a look at how each Manchester United player fared during the clash against the Toffees.
GK: Senne Lammens – 6.5/10
He made his fair share of saves during the game, but couldn't do much about either of Everton's goals this afternoon.

Barcelona's golden duo Raphinha and Lamine Yamal both netted braces in the team's clash against Rayo Vallecano on Monday night, taking the team to the top of the table once more with a perfect score and a staggering twelve goals scored in three games.
The Brazilian promptly equalised to nullify Rayo Vallecano's opener before Lamine Yamal fired the team into the lead in the first half.
After the break, Anthony Gordon forced an own-goal with a vicious cross that took a deflection before he combined once again with Raphinha for the team's fourth goal on the night.
Somewhere along the way, Rayo Vallecano stole another goal back, but Barcelona showed no mercy and eventually made it five goals with Lamine Yamal netting his second goal.

Glentoran 1 - 2 Crusaders FT
Crusaders substitute Aaron Reid scored an 88th minute winner to secure a 2-1 win for Declan Caddell's side after a dogged display over Glentoran at the Oval.
Owen Wardell put the visitors in front in the first half, before Ben Gallagher equalised on 68 minutes.
It looked like the hosts looked more likely to score again, but it was at the other end where Reid finished to secure all three points for Crusaders.

José Mourinho's first home game in his second spell in charge of Real Madrid got off to a positive start as they defeated Real Sociedad by at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Coming off the back of a last-minute victory against Espanyol in gameweek one, Real Madrid started brightly but took until the 40th minute to open the scoring through Kylian Mbappé. Real Sociedad quickly responded and equalised before the break as the sides went into half time level.
Mbappé scored his second on the hour mark before Vinícius Júnior tapped home from close range after good work from Jude Bellingham. Mbappé completed his hattrick ten minutes before the end, as Real Madrid strolled to a convincing victory to go top of La Liga.
Madrid started well and had a couple of early sightings of goal, the closest coming after Vinícius Júnior slipped Kylian Mbappé in behind, but he took on the shot from a difficult angle and it was a comfortable save for Álex Remiro.
The best of the opening ten minutes fell to the visitors and to Mikel Oyarzabal, who found himself free in the box, but his low effort was too close to Thibaut Courtois and the Belgian shot-stopper was able to keep it out.

Mohamed Salah ‌‌opened his account in the Turkish ⁠⁠Super Lig ⁠⁠with a double as Trabzonspor beat Istanbul Basaksehir 2-1 to clinch their first win ⁠⁠of the season.
Salah, who joined Trabzonspor on a free transfer after leaving Liverpool ⁠⁠following a trophy-laden nine-year spell, also had two goals disallowed in a standout performance on Sunday.
Making his first league start after appearing as a substitute in Trabzonspor's ‌‌season opener, Salah put his side ahead in the eighth minute, capitalising after Basaksehir goalkeeper Muhammed Sengezer failed to hold on to the ball.
Basaksehir's Eldor Shomurodov equalised from the penalty spot in the 19th minute, but Salah restored ⁠⁠Trabzonspor's lead three minutes into the ⁠⁠second half, bursting down the right, exchanging passes with Ernest Muci and slotting the ball into the far corner.
The 34-year-old ⁠⁠winger had a stoppage-time effort chalked off for a foul in ⁠⁠the build-up and another ruled ⁠⁠out for offside when he found the empty net from long range with the goalkeeper upfield for a corner.

Two fourth-quarter goals from Spanish forward Marc Reyne were enough to end Ireland's hopes of a top-eight finish at the World Cup as Mark Tumilty's side fell to a 3-1 defeat.
Needing a draw to make it through to the upper end of the crossover phase of the tournament, Ireland were more than holding their own against the world-ranked six side after 45 minutes.
After Spain had taken the lead through Nicolas Alvarez, the Irish dominated the second quarter and deservedly equalised when Lee Cole converted a penalty stroke.
Defensively solid, Ireland were 15 minutes away from pulling off the first major upset of the World Cup.
However, Reyne had other ideas, pouncing on a corner rebound and then producing a superb finish on the reverse stick to give the Spanish a 3-1 win.

Chelsea beat Real Sociedad 3-1 in their final friendly before the season starts.
The Blues, with new players in the mix, looked a little slow and sluggish early on despite a strong team on the pitch. They did get a goal for one of the new men – Morgan Rogers scored after Joao Pedro's header was saved.
Apart from that Chelsea weren't sharp in the first period, and Real Sociedad equalised with a superb goal before half time.

Newtonmore's 55-year-old goalkeeper Kenny Ross saved three time in a penalty shoot-out as the holders came from 2-0 down at Oban Camananchd to reach the Camanachd Cup final.
The holders trailed to Connor Howe's first-half double at Taynuilt and looked spent. But Steven MacDonald pulled one back from the spot and Matthew Sloss equalised with three minutes left.
Camanachd went down to 11 men late in the second half when Garry McKerracher was dismissed, but Newtonmore lost Declan Brannan to a second yellow early in extra time to level things.
And with no further scoring, Ross made three spectacular saves in the shoot-out before Brodie MacBean converted to set up a final with local rivals Kingussie on 19 September in Oban.
Those two lead the way in the Premiership, too, with Kingussie cutting Newtonmore's advantage at the top to four points after coming from behind for a 4-1 victory at Fort William.

Jersey Bulls were knocked out of the FA Trophy on penalties after a 2-2 draw at Hayes and Yeading United.
The London side progressed 4-1 on penalties to advance from the preliminary round in an entertaining tie.
A young island side made an excellent start as Sammy Henia-Kamau calmly put the Bulls 1-0 up having been put through by debutant Luke Lister's precision pass in the eighth minute.
Hayes and Yeading, who were hosting the game owing to ongoing building work at Springfield, almost equalised four minutes later when Amari Fashanu crashed an effort off the post.
Impressive former Swansea City and Hull City youngster Henia-Kama spurned number of efforts to extend the lead as the first half went on.

Omar Marmoush scored twice in a three-minute spell in the second half as Manchester City came from behind to beat Atletico Madrid in a friendly in Seoul, South Korea.
The Spanish side took the lead just before half-time when City failed to properly clear Koke's corner and Morten Hjulmand set up 16-year-old Jorge Dominguez, who shot past goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
But City equalised in the 57th minute. Antoine ***** yo did well to slide and keep the ball in play before he charged into the penalty area down the left flank and his low cross was converted by Marmoush.
The pair linked up again two minutes later with a near identical goal - Marmoush finishing comfortably following ***** yo's low cross from the left.
There was a crowd of more than 50,000 at the Seoul World Cup Stadium and the loudest cheer was reserved for the second-half introduction of Atletico's South Korea international Lee Kang-in.

Celtic's potential Champions League play-off opponents became slightly clearer after the latest second qualifying round ties, including a stunning comeback win by Danish champions AGF Aarhus.
The Scottish champions already knew that Norwegian counterparts Viking Stavanger and Austria's LASK are potential opponents as both have automatically qualified for the play-off round and will be on the unseeded side of the draw.
However, three other potential opponents will be decided by matches with first legs on 4/5 August and second legs on 11 August.
AGF were 4-1 down from their first leg at home to Polish champions Lech Poznan but stunned their hosts by scoring three times in 90 minutes to take the tie into extra time on Wednesday.
Lech, for whom former Celtic winger Luis Palma played the first 68 minutes, scored first in extra-time, but the Danes equalised before winning the penalty shoot-out.

Joao Pedro scored a late hat-trick as Chelsea kickstarted the Xabi Alonso win with a thrilling 6-4 win over Western Sydney Wanderers.
Chelsea overcame the A-League side in a 10-goal contest to begin their tour of Australia, with Pedro the difference.
Alonso named an inexperienced side for the fixture with only Tosin Adarabioyo, Josh Acheampong and Liam Delap regulars in the first-team group last season
Alonso's side led inside six minutes through 17-year-old Dastan Satpayev, who has arrived at Chelsea this summer from Kairat Almaty. An end-to-end first half then saw Western Sydney Wanderers turn the game around, before Dario Essugo equalised for Chelsea before half-time.
The action continued after the interval, with Dylan Scicluna scoring for the Australian side and Jamie Gittens levelling once more for Chelsea. Teenager Awan Lual put Western Sydney Wanderers ahead for a third time, only for Pedro's late treble to earn Chelsea the win.

Thomas Tuchel admits that England are “lucky” to be in the FIFA World Cup semi-finals after making life “very difficult” for themselves against Norway.
The Three Lions came from behind to win 2-1 after extra-time in Miami on Saturday night and book their place in the last four.
Norway deservedly went ahead in the first half when Andreas Schjelderup’s cross went in off the post. They could have doubled their lead when Alexander Sorloth was released on the break, but he squandered the chance and had his shot blocked when Erling Haaland was free through the middle.
England equalised on the stroke of halftime, but there was an air of controversy to the goal. Anthony Gordon won the ball from Norway’s goal kick before playing in Jude Bellingham, who did excellently to score past four defenders. However, replays showed that the ball may have bounced off the cable wire attached to the aerial camera, which should have resulted in a drop ball.
Torbjørn Heggem thought he had put Norway back in front in the second half, but it was ruled out following a VAR check after Erling Haaland was judged to have pushed over Elliot Anderson in the buildup.

Jude Bellingham’s extra-time winner secured England’s spot in the World Cup semi finals with a 2-1 win over Norway.
Andreas Schjelderup had given Norway the lead ten minutes before half-time when his mis-hit cross caught out Jordan Pickford.
But Bellingham equalised before the break, racing through from Anthony Gordon’s pass and finishing low into the bottom corner.
Norway thought they had re-taken the lead early on in the second half when Torbjorn Heggem tapped in following a scramble at a corner, only for it to be disallowed for a push by Erling Haaland on Elliot Anderson following a VAR check.
And after the 90 minutes ended level, Bellingham struck in extra time, following in after goalkeeper Orjan Nyland had spilled Morgan Rogers’ shot to tap in from close range.

ARLINGTON, TEXAS - JUNE 27: (EDITOR'S NOTE: Tonal effects have been applied to this image.) A detail of the boots of Lionel Messi #10 of Argentina as he prepares to take a free kick during the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group J match between Jordan and Argentina at Dallas Stadium on June 27, 2026 in Dallas, United States.

Every four years, one name goes on the Golden Boot. Adidas puts its logo on the trophy, and a boot company puts its logo on the player who wins it. Those two facts have always been true in isolation, but this summer, for the first time, the boot company and the trophy sponsor are in direct competition and the race between them is being played out in real time on a scoreboard watched by a billion people.
Lionel Messi joint-leads the 2026 World Cup scoring race with eight goals through five matches. He is an Adidas athlete with a lifetime contract and the award he is chasing has Adidas's name on it. Kylian Mbappé is level on eight, having played one game more, still nominally a Nike athlete but only because Nike secured a one-month contract extension to stop him switching boots mid-tournament, a deal due to expire twelve days after the final. Erling Haaland also has seven, in Nike boots, with no such complication. Harry Kane is one behind on six goals, but has a deal with Sketchers, becoming their leading soccer player when he signed in 2023.
That leaves four players in contention with different commercial arrangements competing for one trophy. Mbappé has already booked a semifinal place, while in the quarterfinals Kane's England faces Haaland's Norway in Miami on July 11, and Messi's Argentina faces Switzerland in Kansas City the same night.
Messi opened with a hat trick against Algeria, added a brace against Austria, missing a ninth-minute penalty along the way, breaking the all-time World Cup scoring record in the process, then came off the bench to score against Jordan before adding a seventh against Cape Verde in the round of 32. That one came in a 3-2 extra-time win where Cape Verde equalised twice. The eighth, against Egypt, was a first-time strike inside the box to pull it back to 2-2 before Argentina finished the job.

The second quarter-final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup took place last night, with Spain facing Belgium.
Both teams knew that a win would secure their place in the semi-finals, where France await, and La Roja came into this game as favourites.
Spain dominated most of the game in terms of possession, passes and chances created, but they were not always able to get the final shot away, at least effectively.
Fabian Ruiz opened the scoring for La Roja in the first half after Dani Olmo's shot was deflected into his path.
Belgium equalised through Charles de Ketelaere just before half-time, and Spain had to wait until after the 85th minute, once Mikel Merino came on, to get the winner.

The problem with Real Madrid players facing one another in World Cup games is that one of them is bound to go out at the end of the night.
Last night, Spain and Belgium faced off in the quarter-finals of the marquee tournament, which pitted Marc Cucurella against Thibaut Courtois.
Spain took the lead in the first half through Fabian Ruiz, but Belgium equalised just before half-time to take it level into the second half.
Although La Roja dominated most of the game, they were unable to put Rudi Garcia's side to the sword and needed a late winner from Mikel Merino.
The ****** nal man ensured Spain progressed to the next round for the second game running, and they now face France in the semi-finals.

Uruguay were the only South American team not to make it out of the group stage, in what was a very disappointing campaign from La Celeste. They had a decent squad and a favourable draw. However, the local media heading into the tournament were talking about the breakdown in internal cohesion, and those concerns were evident straight away against Saudi Arabia, who controlled much of the first half and deservedly took the lead through Abdulelah Al-Amri just before half-time.
Despite all the criticism of coach Marcelo Bielsa, it was his changes at half-time, taking off Matias Viña and Darwin Núñez, and bringing on Juan Sanabria and Agustín Canobbio, that changed the balance of the second half. Uruguay pretty much dominated after the break and were unlucky not to win the game. They found an equaliser through Maximiliano Araújo, who was definitely one of the bright sparks for La Celeste throughout the tournament.
However, they just didn't kick on from that performance.
Against Cape Verde in the second match, they were well off the mark. Kevin Pina opened the scoring for Cape Verde before Uruguay turned the game around through Maximiliano Araújo and Canobbio. However, their lead was cancelled out in the second half as Helio Varela equalised for Cape Verde, earning what was probably a deserved point.

FIFA World Cup
Argentina 3 - 2 Egypt FT
Argentina survived another almighty scare before delivering a scarcely believable second-half comeback to break Egypt hearts and reach the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup.
The reigning world champions - sent to extra time by Cape Verde in the last round - had looked set for a shock exit against the Pharaohs, who led 2-0 thanks to goals from Yasser Ibrahim and Mostafa Zico.
But Cristian Romero halved the deficit 11 minutes from time before Lionel Messi – who had missed a first-half penalty in Atlanta – equalised five minutes later and set up a nail-biting finish.

Croatia were left to rue the involvement of "Snicko" technology at the World Cup after being denied a stoppage-time equaliser by the video **** istant referee (VAR).
Josko Gvardiol had appeared to keep his side's hopes of progressing alive when he turned home from close range in the 13th minute of additional time to level the match with Portugal football at 2-2.
Gvardiol's goal appeared to take the round of 32 clash to extra time only for VAR Jarred Gillett to intervene with the official checking the incident for offside.
GOAL DISALLOWED ❌

Croatia thought they'd equalised against Portugal to take the match to extra time, but after VAR review, it was disallowed! pic.twitter.com/jlqNHpzp5s
The decision concerned the involvement of Croatia's Igor Matanovic, who attempted to head the ball in the build-up. If he had touched it, then the goal would be ruled out; if not, Gvardiol's finish would stand.

BBC commentator Steve Wilson called it "one of the biggest VAR decisions there has ever been".
Trailing 2-1 to Portugal after a dramatic and chaotic second half, Croatia thought they had equalised when Josko Gvardiol tapped home from close range in the 13th minute of stoppage time.
They celebrated wildly, while Cristiano Ronaldo, who had earlier scored his first ever World Cup knockout goal for his country, then been substituted, looked crestfallen on the bench.
Extra time looked certain. Step forward the video ****** istant referee - Premier League official Jarred Gillett - as a goal check for offside was announced.
The big question was: Had Croatia's Igor Matanovic flicked the ball on in the build-up? If his head had touched the ball, it was offside. If not, the goal would stand.

Germany met Paraguay in the World Cup round of 32 on Monday night, while Hiroki Ito and ****** an took on Brazil for a place in the last 16. Here's how the knockout matches went for the FC Bayern players involved.
Shortly before 1:30 in Germany in the early hours of Tuesday, the four-time world champions knew: the tournament in Canada, Mexico and USA was already over for them after the first knockout match. The DFB-Elf lost 4-3 on penalties to Paraguay following a 1-1 draw in the round of 32.
Against one of the best third-placed teams, Germany fell behind to a goal from Encisco following a corner in the 41st minute. As was the case in the 2-1 defeat in the last group match against Ecuador, Julian Nagelsmann's side failed to exert the necessary dominance and determination against the underdogs from South America, and despite having more possession, clear-cut chances remained hard to come by for much of the game.
However, with 54 minutes gone, Kai Havertz equalised with a header. Neither team managed to create much in attack after that, meaning it went to penalties. Germany thought they'd won it when Bayern defender Jonathan Tah powered a header into the net from a corner, but the goal was disallowed following review because, according to referee Jalal Jayed, substitute Waldemar Anton had impeded Paraguay goalkeeper Orlando Gill. Germany tried to force the issue now and created more opportunities, but were repeatedly denied by Gill. And the Paraguay shot-stopper was the hero in the penalty shootout too as his side came out on top by a narrow margin despite a save from Manuel Neuer.
Paraguay therefore advance to the round of 16, where they'll face the winners of the meeting between France and Sweden this Saturday (23:00 CEST) in Philadelphia.

Manchester United's Noussair Mazraoui was in action as Morocco progressed to the last 16 of the World Cup.
The North Africans defeated the Netherlands on penalties. The Moroccans equalised in the 91st minute when Issa Diop pulled his side level.
Mazraoui played the entire match and demonstrated his tactical flexibility by operating at left back throughout.
The defender made a stunning intervention in the 64th minute, showing strength and anticipation to beat United target Crysencio Summerville to the ball when he would have been through on goal.
It was the sort of clever defending that Manchester United fans have become accustomed to over the years from their Moroccan star.
