The U-20 team secured qualification for the 2nd round of the Copa do Brasil on Thursday afternoon (10) by defeating Cuiabá 4-3 in a penalty shootout in a single-leg match held at CT Rei Pelé! In regular time, the game ended 1-1, with a goal by Contreras!
Rodrigo Cézar, Diego Matos, Guilherme Cruz, and Pepê Fermino converted Santos' penalties, while goalkeeper João Pedro came up with a huge save!
Santos opened the scoring just 4 minutes in after a corner kick taken by Vinícius Fabri. Contreras' first header was saved by the goalkeeper, but he got on the rebound and headed it home to put his team in front.
Still in the first half, the Santos side had more chances to extend the lead, but failed to turn them into goals. In the second half, despite Santos still controlling the match, Cuiabá managed to equalize right at the end, taking the fight for qualification to penalties.
In the next round, Santos FC will face Palmeiras in October, with the date still to be confirmed.

I'm turning 68 shortly and plan to wait to claim my Social Security at age 70 to maximize the monthly benefit. I also plan to retire at the end of the year, if not sooner (so in three months or less). Does withdrawing from my traditional IRAs (current balance is $215,000) to reduce the income tax on my RMDs outweigh the benefit of keeping those withdrawals invested and growing tax-deferred? My understanding is that if I withdraw amounts up to my standard deduction, then those amounts would be tax-free.
– Austen
Retirement withdrawals, Social Security benefits, required minimum distribution (RMDs), taxes … there are a lot of moving parts when it comes to making decisions about your retirement income. Reducing the amount of money that's subject to RMDs can help minimize your taxes once they kick in. This may also help avoid taxes on your Social Security benefits.
If you don't need the money now, but want to reduce RMDs later, one of the best moves might be converting a portion of your IRA to a Roth IRA each year. That can help reduce future required withdrawals and allow your money to grow tax-free, though there can be tax consequences for certain withdrawals. (A financial advisor can help guide you through the Roth conversion process and potentially avoid unwanted tax consequences.)

Manchester City completed the signing of Allan from Palmeiras during the lattee stages of the summer transfer window. The Brazilian winger is one of Manchester City's more intriguing signings for some time. Allan has taken a different route to earn his move to City. He rose through the ranks at Palmeiras before establishing himself on the right wing for Abel Ferreira's side. It was hoped that Allan would be in the City squad for last Saturday's match against Coventry City. But that wasn't to be. Instead, he could be in line to make his City debut against FC Porto tonight.
It was a surprise that Allan didn't make the bench for Manchester City's win over Coventry City last Saturday. However, it was reported by Enzo Krieger for CityXtra that Allan wasn't deemed fit enough to play at the Etihad. However, that situation has quickly changed. Allan has been included in Manchester City's travelling squad for tonight's match against FC Porto at the Estádio do Dragão. Also, he did train with his teammates yesterday. At this stage, it would be a major surprise if Allan wasn't at least on the bench for the opening fixture of Manchester City's 2026-27 UEFA Champions League campaign.
There would seem to be little chance that Allan would start tonight against FC Porto. He hasn't been at Manchester City for long and the Brazilian winger also wasn't fit enough to make the bench against Coventry City. Stranger things have happened but it would be unlikely that Allan will start tonight.
However, there is a chance that Allan could come off the bench tonight. Perhaps being an impact substitute may be the best way for Maresca to introduce Allan to the fold. The Brazilian winger is a quick winger blessed with quality dribbling skills and the ability to work hard on both sides of the ball. Maybe that is how Allan will make his City debut and tonight may be the right setting for Allan to play a small role for Enzo Maresca's side depending on how tonight's match unfolds.
Allan was included in Manchester City's travelling sqaud for tonight's match against FC Porto. So there is a chance that one of the more intriguing signings that City have made could get on the pitch for the first time as a Manchester City player. Whether or not it occurs remains to be seen but Allan's City debut is edging ever closer.

On Saturday, too, well over 10,000 Black-and-Yellows made the trip to Sinsheim. Anyone unfamiliar with the situation might have thought the Swedish national team was playing there, with large sections of the stands mixed in yellow and blue. "It felt like there were more BVB fans in the stadium than Hoffenheim fans," said managing director Lars Ricken with a wink.
But TSG Hoffenheim initially set the tone and deservedly took a 2-0 lead shortly after halftime. BVB responded after an hour, first leveling the score within five minutes through goals from Serhou Guirassy and Fabio Silva. Then, in the 86th minute, a deflected cross from Ethan Nwaneri led to an own goal and a 3-2 win for BVB.
Once again, late BVB goals in Sinsheim!
In September 2023, BVB went into halftime with a 2-1 lead, but after 70 minutes lost Ramy Bensebaini to a second yellow card. Down to ten men, the team defended its narrow advantage. In the fifth minute of stoppage time, Julian Ryerson went on a solo run from deep inside his own half and capped it off with the goal for the final 3-1 scoreline.
A season later, in April 2025, the Black-and-Yellows were leading 2-1 after the 90 minutes had elapsed. But then Pavel Kaderabek made it 2-2. In the battle for Champions League qualification, two important points now seemed lost. Waldemar Anton refused to let them go. In the fifth minute of stoppage time, he fired his team to a 3-2 away win.

Axel Sola didn't love that the UFC Paris co-main event was France vs. France, but it's part of the job.
Luckily for Sola (13-1-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC), he was on the giving end, not the receiving end, of a brutal first-round knockout. A friend and fellow countryman, Fares Ziam, paid the price for zigging when he should've zagged.
"I have a lot of respect for Firas Ziam," Sola said at a post-fight news conference. "I was happy to get the win cleanly and quickly, but a little bit sad for him because it's not good for your health. But I'm sure he's going to do what he has to do in order to come back safely and perform again inside the UFC."
A brutal left hand put the lights out. Sola drilled Ziam (18-6 MMA, 8-4 UFC) with a few more follow-up shots before the referee stopped the fight. Ziam was down for a while afterward.
The victory is now the most impactful highlight on Sola's reel. It extended his winning streak to two and likely sets him up for an even bigger opportunity next time out. He thinks the more he fights, the better he'll get.

The 30-year-old forward, who has been with Borussia Dortmund for two years. is catching fire yet again, having bagged two goals in two games so far this season. On Tuesday, he could make his 100th competitive appearance for the Black & Yellow. 99 games in, he has an incredible 62 goals to his name, trailing only Erling Haaland and Lothar Emmerich.
Haaland scored a staggering total of 86 goals in 89 competitive matches for BVB. Emmerich found the net 64 times in his first 100 Bundesliga matches for Borussia Dortmund.
For his part, Guirassy has scored 40 times for Borussia in Bundesliga play. That's exactly on par with Norbert ***** el, although Guirassy only needed 65 games to reach that total while ***** el needed 90.
In the 3-2 away win at Hoffenheim, Guirassy played a part in six of Dortmund's eight shots. In the 61st minute, he scored to cut his team's deficit to 2-1. Then, five minutes later, he set up Fabio Silva for 2-2. Serhou Guirassy has scored a goal in each of his past five visits to Hoffenheim. (br)

Borussia Dortmund did it the hard way today in only their second match of the season. Away to Hoffenheim, the Black and Yellows went two goals behind, leaving it all to do with thirty minutes to play. Waldemar Anton took charge, sporting the captain's armband, blasting through the Hoffenheim defense at a lax moment to nick a loose ball and square it for Serhou Guirassy, who got the comeback started. BVB would find two further goals from Fabio Silva, and an own goal created by some intelligent interplay between Silva and Nwaneri.
The defense today was… not exactly sterling. The injury to Mane unsettled the back line, and despite some bright spots specifically from Gadou in progression, there were also some calamitous errors that gave Hoffenheim control of the momentum. Anton has been given the tricky task of leading a young, inexperienced back line. Gadou and Mane are talented, but they are both really in their first seasons of top flight football. Anton needs to keep them in check and handle his defensive duties as well. It's a lot of responsibity for BVB's stand-in captain. Anton's tenacity to win the ball high up the pitch got his team back into the game, and he deserves credit for his efforts across the pitch.
An additional note on Mane. I'm worried about this kid. Two hamstring injuries in only a few professional matches point to either a more serious issue, or insufficient preparation from the physio team. Mane has looked promising in the lead up to the season, but these injuries threaten to derail his career. BVB need to get their well-paid medical staff to figure out what's going on here.
Anyone seen the midfield? I can't seem to find it.
I'm not sure if we blame Kovac here, blame the players, blame the system, but my goodness where is our central spine? Hoffenheim ran down the throat of the BVB defense for the entire first half because there seemed to be no cover in front of it. Maybe we will see more of Veerman in the weeks to come, but it's not like the dutchman is some deep-lying enforcer—he is a creator. If BVB are going to be fielding a juvenile back line for the next few weeks (they are), the midfield needs to provide some better cover.

A 62-year-old man planned to lend his daughter $80,000 directly from his self-directed IRA so she could cover a cash shortfall in her small business, with the loan structured to pay interest back to the IRA rather than to a bank. Before signing anything, his accountant warned him that the transaction wasn't merely risky—it would be a prohibited transaction under the federal tax rules governing IRAs.
Backing away isn't being overly cautious. A loan from an IRA to a child is a textbook prohibited transaction, and unlike a bad investment that simply loses money, a prohibited transaction can cause the IRA to lose its tax-advantaged status, potentially treating the account as distributed for tax purposes as of the first day of that year.

Manchester City announced the signing of Allan from Palmeiras yesterday. The Brazilian winger is set to provide Enzo Maresca with another option to utilize on the right wing. Despite City signing Allan, they did need to sign one more player to bolster their attack. In the end, City have achieved that goal. The FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders have now officially confirmed the signing of Senegalese international Iliman Ndiaye from Everton. Ndiaye is an exciting signing for City and he will offer Enzo Maresca flexibility and quality to unleash in the final third.
Ahead of the transfer window closing at 23:00, Manchester City have officially announced the signing of Iliman Ndiaye. Ndiaye has signed a five-year contract with City, which will run until the summer of 2031. By signing Iliman Ndiaye, Enzo Maresca will have a player at his disposal whose strengths, especially his dribbling and ability to beat a man in one-on-one situations, look ideally suited to playing a prominent role in his squad.
Sam Lee and Jessica Hopkins have reported for The Athletic that Manchester City hage paid Everton £60 million plus £5 million in add-ons to sign Ndiaye.
Speaking with mancity.com after signing for Manchester City, Iliman Ndiaye revealed that once he knew of City's interest in signing him, he had his heart set of joining Enzo Maresca's side. He explained: "It's easy to make the decision about whether you want to be at Manchester City or not."
"You can see the recent history; you want to be part of that project. They talked to me about where we could go, what we could achieve with me in the team, and I was interested from the beginning."

Santos FC fought hard and applied plenty of pressure early in the derby, but could not overturn Palmeiras' large advantage. After a 0-0 draw this Wednesday (2) at Vila Belmiro, they are out of the 2026 Copa do Brasil. Peixe did try to break through and created chances, but their rivals knew how to protect the result after winning the first leg of the quarterfinals 3-0 on the 26th at Nubank Parque in São Paulo, thus securing a place in the semifinals.
Out of the national knockout tournament, coach Cuca's squad now shifts focus to the 2026 Brazilian Championship. Riding high after beating Corinthians 1-0 last Sunday (30) at Neo Química Arena, Alvinegro Praiano now aims to climb even higher in the table and move away from the danger zone.
This Sunday (6), Santos FC visits Internacional at Beira-Rio Stadium at 4 p.m. for the 26th round of the Brasileirão. If they can win in Porto Alegre, Peixe could open up as much as a seven-point gap from the relegation zone and start dreaming of bigger things in the national competition.

The match – Driven by the "fire corridor" on arrival and by a roaring Vila Belmiro, Santos came out on top of Palmeiras. Just 4 minutes in, Igor Vinicius reached the edge of the box and struck with his left foot, forcing a save from Carlos Miguel.

Rafael Ribeiro / CBFCredits: Palmeiras and Vasco go after the ***** le
It's time to find out who will be the 2026 Brazilian U-20 champion. Palmeiras and Vasco face off this Friday (4), at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), at Nubank Parque, in São Paulo (SP), for the second and decisive leg of the final. After a 1-0 win in the first match at São Januário (look back here), in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Verdão takes the field with the advantage in the ***** le race.
Palmeiras' winning goal in the first game was scored by Erick Belé late in the first half. As a result, a draw is enough to secure the trophy for Verdão. If Vasco manage to win by a one-goal margin and level the aggregate score, the champion will be decided on penalties.
The advantage, however, does not mean peace of mind. Vasco showed in the first match that they can trouble their opponent and will now have 90 minutes to try to change the course of the final. The Rio side have reached the final for the first time in the history of the Brazilian U-20 Championship and need to win away from home to take the trophy back to São Januário.

The derby between Santos and Palmeiras this Wednesday (2) in the Copa do Brasil began in a tense atmosphere.
The very first play of the match was enough to result in two yellow cards at Vila Belmiro.
Felipe Anderson committed a hard foul on Neymar near midfield and was booked by the referee.
Immediately afterward, with play stopped, Escobar kicked the ball at Andreas Pereira and was also shown a yellow card.
Tensions flared on both sides, and the referee had to repeatedly insist that only the captains, Neymar and Murilo, approach him.

At Neo Química Arena, Santos FC defeated Corinthians 1-0 in the Brazilian Championship. The match, valid for the twenty-fifth round of the competition, was played this Sunday (30), and Santos's goal was scored by Oliva. With the result, Peixe reached 29 points in the competition. The next match for Cuca's team will be on Wednesday (2), against Palmeiras, in the Copa do Brasil, at Vila Belmiro.
Santos FC's first chance came in the 11th minute, when Gabriel Bontempo won the ball in midfield and passed it to Gabriel Barbosa to carry forward into attack. The center forward passed to Neymar Jr., who quickly returned it to Gabigol. The Menino da Vila hit it first time, but without much power.
Peixe opened the scoring in the 32nd minute. After Gabriel Bontempo dribbled past his marker and was fouled near the edge of the box, Neymar Jr. stepped up to take it. The number 10 placed the ball into the top corner, and goalkeeper Hugo Souza parried it, leaving a rebound. Well positioned, Oliva took advantage and scored the only goal of the match.
Late in the first half, in the 44th minute, Neymar Jr. went down near the area with the ball. He got up, recovered, and passed it to Barreal. The forward entered the box and hit a low shot on goal, which was saved by the opposing goalkeeper.
In the second half, Santos's defense completely neutralized Corinthians's attack. On the few chances that reached Peixe's goal, Gabriel Brazão made comfortable saves.

FC Barcelona is wasting no time and is already going all in for Gabriel Jesus. After the definitive 'no' from Atlético de Madrid for Julián Álvarez, the sporting department has radically changed its target. The departure of Robert Lewandowski has left a huge void in the box, and the Brazilian ***** nal striker is the chosen one to fill the role of the reference No. 9, as reported by Mundo Deportivo.
At 29 years old, the Seleçao forward is not comfortable with his secondary role in London, where fierce competition has limited his playing time. This lack of prominence has led the player to ask to leave the Premier League in search of a project where he can truly feel important.
His desire to wear the Blaugrana shirt is nothing new. Back in his Palmeiras days, before making the leap to Europe in 2016, Gabriel Jesus dreamed of playing at Camp Nou. Now, the striker is putting maximum pressure on the English club so that talks move forward and his arrival in the Catalan capital is finalized as soon as possible.
There was some caution in the club's offices regarding his physical condition due to the serious knee injury he suffered at the start of 2025. However, Barça's medical staff have reviewed all his reports in detail and confirm that the Brazilian is 100% fit and fully recovered to compete at the highest level from day one.
Gabriel Jesus' numbers speak for themselves: 95 goals for Manchester City under Pep Guardiola and more than 30 goals with the Gunners. Gabriel Jesus brings goals, spark, experience in big matches, and that Brazilian street-football flair that can get the Barça fans buzzing.

The good feelings lasted about 53 minutes. In that far-too-brief period of time, we got to see a glimpse of what the 2026-27 Borussia Dortmund squad could do, even without Joey Veerman or Nico Schlotterbeck. But with Konstantinos Karetsas and Giannis Konstantelias, the two signings designed more than anything to reinvigorate the club as a whole, out on the pitch showing what they were made of, we were flying.
Hamburg couldn't get out of their own half, much less touch the Dortmund goal. The Greek kids looked every bit the talented studs that were promised. Karetsas played a perfect combo with Guirassy to set up the Dortmund striker for his and the club's first goal of the season. Then, just before the half, Giannis opened his own account when Maxi Beier played him into the box. He dribbled, found a bit of **** e, and took a shot that took a very fortunate deflection off Sebastiaan Bornauw and into the net. The deflection was so lucky I thought it might be ruled an own goal, but the Bundesliga's website still gives it to Giannis as of writing this.
Aaaaaaaaand that was it for the good feelings. BVB came out into the second half and it took eight minutes for the season to end. Giannis challenged for a ball, tweaked his knee without contact, and had to be subbed off. Niko Kovac subbed on Marcel Sabitzer, but Giannis's absence was noticed immediately. Hamburg controlled the play much better in the second half, and to add to the sour mood, Samuele Inacio received a straight red card towards the end of the match with a late slide-tackle that connected with Albert Grønbæk's shin. Inacio walked off in tears.
So Dortmund held out for the 2-0 win and clean-sheet, but the mood was irrevocably destroyed. We can never have nice things, and when we do they only get briefly teased before they get ripped away. The night is dark and full of terrors.
I'll just say it because we're all already thinking it: I'm very nervous that Giannis tore his ACL. Depending on the severity he could potentially miss the entire season, but even a partial tear would put him out of action for multiple (read: at bare minimum three months). Bottom line, unless it's a miracle and it's only a Grade 1 or something less severe like a meniscus tear (which would still require many weeks' recovery), we're not seeing him back on the pitch any time soon. If I'm Ole Book, I'm trying to find a last second cheap winger on the transfer market.

#dortmund #half #season #took

Borussia Dortmund's seven year high points tally wasn't enough to win the Bundesliga last season but they have reinforced this season with a Greek duo of Konstantinos Karetsas and Giannis Konstantelias.
Dortmund also started this season off on a strong foot despite losing 2-1 against Bayern in the super cup as they were a Maximilian Beier golden chance away from making it to extra time.
They have a somewhat busy schedule for this early on in the season as their delayed DFB Pokal game is to be played midweek next week against Hamburg-Eimsbütteler from the fifth tier in which they may rest players.
Despite this, Dortmund have an amazing record against Hamburg as they haven't lost in 11 years against the side from north Germany.
Serhou Guirassy will look to continue where he left off last season as he scored his 17th goal in the Bundesliga on the final matchday to become Dortmund's top scorer in consecutive seasons.

The board at La Liga giants Real Madrid this week received fresh contact from their counterparts at Premier League champions ******* nal, regarding the situation of young striker Endrick.
This comes as the Gunners seek out reinforcements in the final third ahead of the imminent departure of Gabriel Martinelli.
Endrick's future in Spain's capital has of course proven a headline talking point at Real Madrid across the summer to date. After the 20-year-old returned to base at Valdebebas following a fruitful loan stint in France with Lyon, it was suggested that another temporary departure could be on the cards.
José Mourinho has since moved to ******* ure that his young goalscorer will be going nowhere before the window slams shut, but speculation surrounding Endrick's name has nevertheless continued to circulate.
And as alluded to above, late this week, the former Palmeiras sensation has been linked with another of European football's leading clubs. As per a report from TEAMtalk:

When you leave an employer, rolling your 401(k) into an IRA might seem like the obvious next step for many retirees. But a recent CFP Board guide on fiduciary duty in rollovers warns that rollovers might not be required and could be irreversible.
Cerulli **** ociates estimates about $941 billion will move from 401(k) plans into IRAs this year, with annual rollover flows projected to reach $1.3 trillion by 2031.
More than 11,000 Americans are turning 65 each day in 2026, according to the Alliance for Lifetime Income, and IRAs already hold approximately $18.2 trillion as of the first quarter of 2026, the Investment Company Institute reports.
The money is moving, and for retirees who don't fully understand the trade-offs, it may be moving in a direction they can't predict.
In most cases, "you can't go back to whence you came," Brenton Harrison, a certified financial planner based in Nashville, told CNBC. Once funds land in an IRA, the original employer plan will typically refuse to accept them.

Birmingham City are trying to hijack Young Boys' attempts to sign FC Nantes winger Herba Guirassy (19), according to a report from Sacha Tavolieri.
Guirassy accrued Ligue 1 experience at Nantes last season. He played 20 times in Ligue 1, scoring twice, however, it was a disastrous season for Les Canaris, who were relegated to Ligue 2. The FCN academy product has featured prominently in the opening gameweeks of this season, too. In three games in Ligue 2, he has one goal.
However, Nantes have lost all three of their games, sit rock bottom of the league, and have now just sacked their manager, Michal Der Zakarian. Grégory Poirier has come in but Guirassy may not have the chance to play under the former Red Star coach. Interest in acquiring Guirassy is growing. Swiss side Young Boys had already been in talks to sign the France U21 international, however, Birmingham City are trying to hijack the deal and have submitted a bid of their own. Talks are ongoing.
