Hertha BSC recorded a comeback victory away at Eintracht Braunschweig in an eight-goal thriller in 2. Bundesliga. Stefan Leitl's side have won each of their first four games of the new season, despite low expectations at the start since they haven't replaced the players departing this summer.
This game did look like a reflection of that reality for the large part of the first-half. Yann Sturm put the hosts ahead inside the first ten minutes before Niklas Kolbe's howler helped Kevin Ehlers to double their advantage.
Braunschweig also had two clear-cut opportunities through Sturm and Aaron Opoku, but they found themselves level at the break after conceding two late goals. Icelandic striker Jón Dagur Thorsteinsson scored on his full debut before Josip Brekalo's memorable strike in the final kick of the first-half.
The Croat attacker capitalized on Braunschweig's poor corner-kick that led to a counter-attacking move as he beat former FC Bayern goalkeeper Ron-Thorben Hoffmann with a brilliant curler. Hertha also started the second-half brightly as Ehlers canceled his goal by beating his own shot-stopper from Thorsteinsson's delivery.
Kolbe also had his moments in both boxes as the center-back won a penalty-kick twenty minutes before time, which was calmly converted by Brekalo. Hertha's new captain started the season in top form as he hopes to return to Bundesliga with the capital city club.

Alvotech (NASDAQ:ALVO) extended its winning streak to a 5th consecutive day on Monday, jumping 18.51 percent to finish at $5.25 apiece, after the Bank of America (BofA) raised its price target for the company.
In its recent coverage, BofA initiated a buy recommendation on Alvotech shares with a price target of $7, amid the closure of the inspection of its manufacturing facility in Iceland, alongside progress in the commercialization of two of its drug candidates in the US and Asia.
The coverage followed the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) voluntary closure of its inspection of Alvotech's (NASDAQ:ALVO) manufacturing facility in Reykjavik, Iceland, over several practices at its plant in Reykjavik, such as handling of complaints, subpar contamination prevention procedures, and poor quality and purity vetting, among others.
"This is an important milestone for Alvotech and reflects the significant work our teams have undertaken to further strengthen our quality systems and manufacturing operations," CEO Lisa Graver said.
"With the conclusion of the FDA's recent inspection, we are confident that the actions we have taken have effectively addressed the observations identified. We continue to work with the FDA to advance our recent Biologics License Applications towards approval," she noted.

1.FC Köln were given an early scare by Würzburg but eventually demonstrated their class to secure a 2-1 comeback victory in the first round of the DFB-Pokal.
The Bundesliga side looked the better team for much of the opening stages, but it was Würzburg who took a shock lead after just 18 minutes. Full-back David Abrangao found a way past Köln goalkeeper and captain Marvin Schwäbe to put the hosts 1-0 ahead.
The goal came somewhat against the run of play, leaving René Wagner's side with plenty of work to do if they wanted to avoid an early DFB-Pokal exit.
Köln continued to push for an equaliser but had to wait until the second half to get their reward. After 62 minutes, midfielder Ísak Bergmann Jóhannesson finally broke through for the Bundesliga outfit, converting after being set up by Ragnar Ache to make it 1-1.
The Iceland international was not finished, however. Fifteen minutes later, Jóhannesson struck again to complete the comeback and put Köln 2-1 ahead.

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Six Nordic national soccer **** ociations piled more pressure on embattled FIFA President Gianni Infantino on Sunday by saying they had "lost confidence" in his leadership.
The **** ociations from Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Iceland and the Faeroe Islands issued a joint statement to say they "view the organization's governance and decision-making at the highest level with great concern."
The **** ociations said they stand united with European soccer governing body UEFA and support the measures it has already proposed.
"We expect FIFA to provide binding guarantees that the organization's governance or competitions will never again be opened up to private ownership," the **** ociations said.
Infantino faces pressure to resign after his plans to sell future World Cup profits to private investors triggered a backlash and criticism from UEFA, the Asian Football Confederation and CONCACAF, the governing body for North and Central American and Caribbean soccer.

Former Iceland striker Jon Dadi Bodvarsson has announced his retirement at the age of 34.
Bodvarsson scored four goals in 64 international appearances for Iceland and started the Euro 2016 match in which his country upset England 2-1 to advance to the quarter-finals, a result that led to Roy Hodgson's resignation.
The striker spent almost ten years in England, first at Wolves, and then Reading and Millwall, before a successful spell at Bolton between 2022 and 2024 where he scored 25 goals in 94 appearances.
He also played for Wrexham and Burton Albion before heading home to Iceland to return to his first club Selfoss.
Bodvarsson said in a statement on social media: "I want to thank all my managers, coaches, players and staff members that I've been grateful enough to have met and worked with. It was great sharing the highs and lows of football with you."

The Sky Bet Championship got underway this evening with a thrilling draw at Molineux between Wolves and Blackburn.
Wolves opened the scoring after 17 minutes, when Marshall Munetsi broke through the Blackburn defence and stroked the ball home. However, their lead didn't last long as Sean McLoughlin headed home before the half hour mark to level the score.
Rovers took the lead themselves early in the second half, when Aladapo Afolayan picked out Andri Gudjohnsen in the box before the Icelandic forward fired the ball home with a first time finish.
The dream return for Raúl Jiménez was complete in the 92nd minute, when he converted from the penalty spot to rescue a point for Wolves.
Wolves' marquee Summer signing, Kieran Trippier, came in from the off this evening for his first game in the second tier since 2014, when he won promotion with Burnley. Blackburn named a familiar starting side, with the whole XI having been here last season, while summer signings Jayden Fevrier and Sam Morsy were named amongst the substitutes.

Heart of Midlothian, Hibernian, Motherwell and Rangers now have a clearer idea of who they might face in Europa League and Conference League qualifying after Uefa confirmed the groupings for Monday's draws.
Celtic already knew their potential opponents in their Champions League play-off, with their draw at 11:00 BST and the Europa League draw an hour later, followed by the Conference League at 13:00.
Now Rangers know that, if they defeat Polish side Jagiellonia Białystok in the third round of Europa League qualifying, they will face either Lillestrom of Norway, the winners of the tie between Northern Irish champions Larne and Iberia 1999 of Georgia, or the losers of two Champions League qualifiers - between Levski Sofia (Bulgaria) and Kairat Almaty (Kazakhstan) or Mjallby (Sweden) and Slovan Bratislava (Slovakia).
Having dropped down from Champions League qualifying, Hearts face Benfica and the winners of that also have four possible opponents.
Those are OFI Crete, the winners of Thun (Switzerland) and Vikingur Reykjavik (Iceland), or the losers of two Champions League qualifiers - AGF Aarhus (Denmark) and Sabah (Azerbaijan) and Dinamo (Croatia) and Kauno Zalgiris (Lithuania).

Now Rangers know that, if they defeat Polish side Jagiellonia Białystok in the third round of Europa League qualifying, they will face either Lillestrom of Norway, the winners of the tie between Northern Irish champions Larne and Iberia 1999 of Georgia, or the losers of two Champions League qualifiers - between Levski Sofia (Bulgaria) and Kairat Almaty (Kazakhstan) or Mjallby (Sweden) and Slovan Bratislava (Slovakia).
Having dropped down from Champions League qualifying, Hearts face Benfica and the winners of that also have four possible opponents.
Those are OFI Crete, the winners of Thun (Switzerland) and Vikingur Reykjavik (Iceland), or the losers of two Champions League qualifiers - AGF Aarhus (Denmark) and Sabah (Azerbaijan) and Dinamo (Croatia) and Kauno Zalgiris (Lithuania).

LONDON (AP) — Icelandic coast guards and special forces seized a ship operated by a group founded by anti-whaling activist Paul Watson and detained its crew, officials in the Arctic island nation said Saturday.
The Icelandic Coast Guard said the crew of whaling ship Hvalur 9 requested **** istance on Thursday evening because they believed their safety was under threat from the protest vessel Bandero. It said the Bandero ignored coast guards' instructions to leave Icelandic waters, and later an order to stop its engines.
Coast guards and the police special forces Viking Squad boarded the vessel around midnight on Thursday and detained its crew. Watson was not aboard.
The Captain Paul Watson Foundation confirmed in a statement that the vessel had been seized. It said the 21 crew members were being detained aboard the ship without their phones.
The ship arrived Friday in Reykjavik, Iceland's capital, and police have taken over the investigation, the coast guard agency said. Icelandic national broadcaster RUV reported that police will seek to deport the crew and ban them from returning to Iceland.

The U.S. women’s national team will face its next major test ahead of World Cup qualifying, hosting top-ranked Spain in a pair of friendlies in October. The U.S. will square off against Spain in Washington, D.C. on Oct. 10 before heading north to Subaru Park in Chester, Pa., on Oct. 13.
“We’ve desperately wanted to get Spain on our schedule,” coach Emma Hayes said in a news release, “but the difficulties of scheduling the top teams during the women’s international calendar are well known, so to be able to get these two games on the East Coast will be the perfect tests before we head into World Cup qualifying at the end of the year.”
Spain qualified for the World Cup in June, breezing through European qualification, including a 4-0 romp over England and a 6-1 defeat of Iceland, freeing up their fall schedule to play the U.S. Spain directly qualified for the 2027 World Cup, while USWNT has to wait for Concacaf’s qualifying window later this year that will run through the end of November into early December.
Spain will serve as another aggressive test for the U.S. under Hayes. A pair of friendlies against Brazil in Brazil during the June window helped get the players a test of the hostile — and incredible — atmospheres that await them next summer if they qualify.
“That’s why I keep leaning into the fact that sometimes we create too many perfect conditions,” Hayes said in June.

Ten years ago the suggestion that England could become serial contenders in major tournaments would have sounded laughable.
After all, the Three Lions had just been knocked out in the last 16 at Euro 2016 by Iceland.
That came on the back of a dismal World Cup in Brazil where England finished bottom of their group, signing off with a 0-0 draw against Costa Rica for their only point in the tournament.
Spearheaded by the brilliance of Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane, England now firmly belong in the conversation as potential champions.
Not just this year, but every year.

A record breaker believes he has secured the world record for the fastest crossing of Iceland by foot.
It is the second time Jack Pitcher, 30, has broken a record, after he beat the best British time for running 2,684 miles (4,320km) across Australia in December 2024.
Pitcher, from Bracknell, Berkshire, was supported by a three-man team as he sought to raise money for the SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, and complete his latest challenge.
He used Iceland's Route 1 from 29 June before finishing on Monday afternoon, completing the 460-mile (740km) challenge in seven days, nine hours and four minutes.
Facing "four seasons in a day", he said the hilly, challenging terrain made it more difficult than his Australian adventure.

Harry Kane scored one of the great England goals to set up a grand World Cup occasion at Mexico City's Azteca Stadium, but only after a general performance entirely unworthy of such descriptions.
Thomas Tuchel's side got away with one against a defiant and spirited Democratic Republic of Congo, but only after Kane let fly to remind everyone exactly why this entire team is built around him.
He is central to hopes that seem to dwindle with every display that actually moves England closer to the trophy.
It takes a bit to get your head around, sure, but then Tuchel really had to get thinking about this most arduous of challenges for England.
A manager specifically appointed for his knockout record came close to losing his very first one, in a game that for 68 minutes looked set to be a humiliation worse than Iceland, arguably the country's worst ever.

The U.S. has the largest — and perhaps most influential (1) — financial market in the world.
Yet, in the 2025 Mercer CFA Institute Global Pension Index, the U.S. retirement income system — a ranking of 52 national systems that cover two-thirds of the world's population — comes in far down the list at No. 30 with a score of just 61.1 (2).
That works out to a grade of C+. Not exactly a stellar ranking for a country with such a sophisticated financial market. So what's the disconnect?
The Index scores national retirement income systems across three pillars: adequacy (how much do you get?), sustainability (can the system keep delivering?) and integrity (can the system be trusted?).
In 2025, Netherlands topped the list with a score of 85.4, followed by Iceland (84) and Denmark (82.3).
