Al Nassr superstar dazzles in 15-minute spell in 8-goal thriller against Al Kholood, leaving boxing legend Oleksandr Usyk in awe
It was a recommendation from one GOAT to another.
Boxing legend Oleksandr Usyk was among the spectators as Cristiano Ronaldo produced another masterclass on Thursday night, scoring a sensational 15-minute hat-trick to inspire Al Nassr to a thrilling 5-3 victory against Al Kholood.
And the undefeated world heavyweight champion, who knows a thing or two about sporting greatness, was suitably impressed, telling the Saudi Pro League that he considers Ronaldo "an alien".

Major League Baseball (MLB) leadership is no longer considering holding a game inside a national park, according to a letter commissioner Robert Manfred sent to officials in Teton county, Wyoming, on Thursday in what could be the league's biggest swing-and-a-miss off the diamond.
On 26 September, the Washington Post reported that MLB had reached out to the White House about staging a one-day game at Grand Teton national park in Wyoming. Teton county describes itself as a "a year-round resort community" and sits within the Jackson Hole valley. It's also a habitat for grizzly bears, osprey, bison and more.
News of MLB's outreach to the federal government quickly sparked concern about the impact that erecting a field and the infrastructure to hold spectators could have on the natural landscape and habitat of scores of wildlife that call the 310,000-acre (125,500-hectare) park home.
In the letter, Manfred noted that MLB had held games at places like the Fort Bragg military base in North Carolina and the nation's oldest Negro Leagues stadium in Birmingham, Alabama. He added that MLB staff had been doing their due diligence to see whether a game at Grand Teton was possible and to evaluate the potential environmental impact.
"Since the story was reported, it has become clear that the local community does not want us to continue Grand Teton national park as a potential site," Manfred wrote.

Hits were at a premium with both sides combining for seven, and the Dodgers made the most of theirs, out-homering the Reds two-to-one and relying on Tarik Skubal's best performance as a Dodger to secure a 4-1 win. While Reds starter Nick Lodolo was responsible for all four runs in his seven innings, it doesn't necessarily reflect just how effectively he held down this potent Dodgers lineup for large periods of the game—especially dealing with such an ungrateful task.
It didn't take more than a couple of hitters to find out, or at least get a glimpse of the type of performance Skubal was about to bring to the mound. Facing Cincinnati's most dangerous hitter, Elly De La Cruz, Skubal was down 3-0 in the count following two bad misses, remembering that De La Cruz took him deep last week. The Dodgers' starter not only got back in the count and punched out De La Cruz, but almost as impressively, he did so in a manner of simply imposing his will that few starting pitchers can even hope to accomplish. Skubal threw three straight heaters, none of them particularly dotted, two up and one down, almost as if indicating that today he'd do as he pleased and the Reds were mere spectators to it.
That initial at-bat against De La Cruz was also indicative of the approach that Skubal would carry into this game. Whether due to a lack of feel for a particular off-speed pitch or, more likely, from an adjustment after seeing the Reds' swings against the four-seamer, Skubal went to that pitch far more often than he normally does—throwing it 44 percent of the time across seven scoreless innings, needing just 90 pitches to do so.
The first and only time the Reds managed to put multiple players on base against Skubal came in the fifth inning, when Juan Brito singled, and J.J. Bleday walked, later moving to second and third on a wild pitch. In a nine-pitch at-bat, Hector Rodríguez would go down on a four-seam fastball, this one up and well outside the zone. In fact, each of Skubal's first seven punchouts came on heaters.
Offensively, the Dodgers made the most of their rare hits count, securing just three in seven innings against a dialed-in Nick Lodolo. Unfortunately for the Reds starter, both of the hits he allowed were home runs, first a solo shot to Kyle Tucker in the second and, a couple of innings later, a two-run bomb to Teoscar Hernández.

Lil Durk has been cleared of every charge in the federal murder-for-hire trial that drew packed courtrooms, celebrity spectators and crowds of supporters to downtown Los Angeles.
A federal jury found the 33-year-old Chicago rapper, whose legal name is Durk Banks, not guilty on September 11 after three days of deliberations. The case centered on an August 2022 attack targeting rapper Quando Rondo that instead killed Rondo's 24-year-old cousin, Saviay'a Robinson, according to The ******* ociated Press.
Prosecutors accused Durk of financing and directing the attack in retaliation for the 2020 killing of his close friend Dayvon "King Von" Bennett. Durk's lawyers argued that former ******* istant Kavon Grant organized the plot without the rapper's knowledge and attacked the credibility of cooperating witnesses who had reached plea agreements with the government.
Durk was not released after the verdict. He remains in federal custody because he faces a separate trial involving murder-related racketeering and firearms allegations, with jury selection currently scheduled to begin October 5.
Durk had faced five counts: conspiracy to commit stalking, stalking using a dangerous weapon, stalking resulting in death, conspiracy to use interstate commerce facilities to commit murder-for-hire resulting in death and use of interstate commerce facilities to commit murder-for-hire resulting in death.

The Amgen Irish Open at Trump International Doonbeg has turned into a story of resilience and record-breaking golf. While the first round saw players battling wind and rain that made the course play brutally difficult, the second round brought a dramatic shift in fortune. Shane Lowry, the local favorite, didn't just survive the conditions; he absolutely dominated them. After airing his frustration with the slow pace caused by the weather in the opening round, Lowry produced a stunning performance to take the lead. Golf Monthly reports that Lowry shot a record-breaking 62 under much kinder conditions to take the lead at the midpoint. This score puts him two shots clear of the field and sets the stage for a thrilling weekend.
The contrast between the two rounds couldn't be starker. The first day was defined by struggle, with Golf Monthly noting that the brutal conditions contributed to slow play across the property. Players like Lowry had to wait for groups ahead, testing their patience. Yet, when the wind died down, Lowry found his rhythm. He isn't alone in the hunt, however. The chasing pack is packed with talent, including defending champion Rory McIlroy, two-time Major winner Jon Rahm, and Brooks Koepka, all of whom Golf Monthly confirmed will join Lowry in the third round. Joaquin Niemann, the first-round leader, also remains in contention to challenge the Irishman.
While Lowry's score grabs the headlines, the most compelling story of the week might be the rise of Niklas Nørgaard. The Danish golfer has moved into a tie for second place alongside Jacob Skov Olesen and Haotong Li after posting matching 64s, according to europeantour.com. This surge came from a fundamental change in how Nørgaard approached the game, not just better ball-striking. The pressure of competition often weighs heavy, but Nørgaard found a way to lighten the load. A shift in mindset this week earned praise for his caddie, as he disclosed that his coach is actually riding in the bag during this event.
Nørgaard explained his strategy directly to the media, and the result was immediate. Europeantour.com notes that Nørgaard received late applause from spectators after draining a vital putt on the 18th and finishing his round with a closing birdie to enter the chase. His back nine was a blur of birdies, specifically a burst from the 14th to 16th holes that propelled him up the leaderboard. You have to wonder if that mental shift is the only thing standing between him and a ***** le run, considering how tight the field really is.
Other players faced different challenges. Thomas Detry made an albatross at the par-5 10th in the opening round, a rare feat that should have boosted his day. However, he finished the first day with a 74 and ultimately missed the cut, according to Golf Monthly. On the other side of the field, David Puig struggled to find consistency. Following a 71 in the opening round that left him one over par, he posted the exact same score during the second rou

MILFORD – With the dynamic duo of wideout Eli Rosenberg and quarterback Vincent Loscerbo, the Milford High football team certainly delivered their opening statements convincingly Thursday night.
The senior co-captain hauled in five receptions for 147 yards and three touchdowns and the junior signal caller completed eight of 12 passes for 211 yards and three scores as the Scarlet Hawks amassed a total of 476 yards in offense en route to a 49-7 grounding of Framingham in a non-league, season-opening matchup at Milford High's turf field.
"Honestly I didn't know what to expect heading into the season,'' said veteran Milford ******* istant coach Dana Olson. "We have a very young team, and we're relying on sophomores and juniors to help carry this team. With the new MIAA rules, we didn't have a lot of time to prepare, and we only had one scrimmage, so we weren't really sure of how things were going to turn out, but I'm happy with the way the guys performed. Sure we made some silly mistakes and committed some penalties, but we'll work on correcting them as the season moves forward."
As the estimated crowd of approximately 2,000 spectators looked on, the Scarlet Hawks struck on the first play of the contest
On the game's first play from scrimmage at their own 39-yard line, the Scarlet Hawks drew first blood and grabbed a 7-0 lead just :12 into the contest. On a backwards pass from Loscerbo to sophomore reserve quarterback Logan Snaddon, who fired a perfect strike downfield to Rosenberg, who raced into the end zone untouched for the 7-0 lead.

Uefa has banned Fenerbahce midfielder Matteo Guendouzi for his team's opening two Champions League fixtures following a series of provocations and insults during a chaotic play-off victory away at Lyon last month.
The 27-year-old, previously a player for Lyon's major rivals Marseille, found himself at the centre of unrest before and after Fenerbahce's 2-1 win on 26 August, which included a mass brawl.
The victory secured the Turkish side a place in the Champions League for the first time in 18 years. Guendouzi, who previously made 82 appearances for ****** nal between 2018 and 2020, is set to sit out Fenerbahce's home encounter against Roma next Thursday alongside their trip to Aston Villa on 14 October.
He will be available for Fenerbahce's final six games in the league phase of the Champions League, starting with his side's match against Slavia Prague on 20 October.
Disciplinary verdicts released late on Friday detailed charges against Guendouzi for violating decent conduct rules, "insulting players or others present at the match" and provoking spectators.

Lights. Camera. Quiet please...
When it comes to etiquette in tennis, there are a fair few unwritten rules.
Apologising after winning a point from a net cord. Honesty around line calls, double bounces and double-hits. Post-match handshakes.
As for the spectators, it is common courtesy not to disturb the players during points.
Around 100 influencers and content creators have been granted accreditation for the tournament in New York - double the amount from last year.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan has called a 43% ticket price increase for next year's men's Ashes Test at Edgbaston "really poor".
The Birmingham ground will host the third Test of the best-of-five series between England and Australia next summer with ticket prices in the Hollies Stand - which holds almost 6,000 spectators - costing £165, up from £115 in 2023.
Elsewhere in the stadium, members can purchase tickets for £92, but the cheapest adult tickets across the first three days are £115, with every ticket carrying a £2.50 booking fee.
"This is really poor," Vaughan posted on social media in response to the news.
Following the 2023 series, which ended in a 2-2 draw after Australia won the first two Tests (at Edgbaston and Lord's), the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said "every day sold out in advance, with total attendance topping 545,000".

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift wanted their wedding to be "intimate and genuine," Kelce said on the first episode of his New Heights podcast since the July 3 ceremony. Naturally, they went with the most famous arena in the world. Madison Square Garden perplexed some spectators as a venue choice, but it made perfect sense to Kelce and Swift. "We needed it to be a private feel and MSG went above and beyond to give us that," Kelce said.
The athlete didn't spill too many details about what happened in the room, which was populated by guests including Brad Pitt, Paul McCartney, Conan O'Brien, Gigi Hadid, Lena Dunham, Zoë Kravitz, and more. "It's a night we'll never forget. Me and Taylor are so thankful for everybody that showed up," he said. "From the vows to seeing everyone to how much fun we had throughout the entire evening, and hearing that kind of be relayed through everybody's stories of the night, and it was just so magical, man."

This has been the summer to end all summers—at least, if you're a sports fan. The New York Knicks won the NBA championships for the first time since 1973. The FIFA World Cup touched down in North America, including major American cities like L.A. and NYC. Wimbledon drew everyone across the pond to see Serena Williams make a comeback (and have a Pimm's Cup).
Personally, I duck at any projectile flying for my face, meaning I'm not interested in playing basketball, tennis or soccer. However, I have been watching all these sporting events with a laser focus on the celebrity spectators—more specifically, their outfits. Stars have treated the court, pitch and royal box like a personal runway, with the likes of Taylor Swift, Kate Middleton, Shakira and others making the actual match feel like the side show. Below, the best-dressed cohort that made me wish I'd gotten tickets to see the matches.

Venus Williams lost her 15th singles match in a row as she was beaten by fellow American Sofia Kenin in a 2am finish at the US Open.
The 46-year-old very nearly took the first-round match into a deciding set, but 2020 Australian Open champion Kenin saved seven set points to win 6-2 7-6 (8-6).
The match did not begin until 00:13 local time in New York as it followed Mariano Navone's five-set victory over Novak Djokovic on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
It was the latest starting match in US Open history, and there was barely 1,000 spectators left by the end.
"It's not ideal," Williams - who was given a wildcard to play her home Grand Slam tournament - said about the midnight start.

CHICAGO — On the last day of June, the flags danced in a stiff wind above Wrigley Field and Moe Mullins arrived more than three hours before first pitch, just like usual. He set up his camping chair under the ash tree at the corner of Waveland and Kenmore, across the street from the back of the left-field bleachers, and the neighborhood slowly came to life.
In time, the street vendors appeared and the merchandise stands opened and the patio at Murphy's, a block away, started to fill in. Soon, the spectators gathered along the brick wall and waited for the bleacher gates to open. For a while, though, it was quiet, and the last refuge of old Wrigley, and its old neighborhood, belonged to Mullins.
He is the unofficial mayor of Waveland and Kenmore avenues, the elder statesman among the characters who give it character. The Chicago Cubs this weekend celebrated their 150th anniversary as a National League member. They've spent 110 of those years at Wrigley, where the corner just beyond left field remains old-school, a small throwback in the middle of ever-expanding change.
The Cubs have bought up many of the nearby buildings. The rooftops are a little less organically charming and a lot more expensive. Trendy bars and restaurants have moved in all over. Even Wrigley's iconic marquee comes with a corporate sponsor, and has for more than a decade.
The corner, though, remains the corner. Lawn chairs. Lifers. Good banter, some of which is even suitable for children. The most prominent ad there is handwritten, for the Gatorade that Dave Davison sells out of a cooler: $3 for Cubs fans and $4 for Cards fans, with the $5 for White Sox fans crossed out and replaced with "stay thirsty."

The 2026 US Open is already receiving backlash from tennis stars as the recurring theme of marijuana odor emanating around New York City's major tournament.
Top players like Novak Djokovic have complained about the issue in the past. However, several British tennis stars, including Katie Boulter, are now chiming in regarding the ongoing problem in Flushing.
Corona Park, which surrounds the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, has become a major problem for the tournament with locals and visitors seemingly smoking marijuana on those grounds.
Weed is legal in New York though, which makes the problem a difficult one to handle for tournament organizers. The US Open has many wide-open courts on its grounds, which allows spectators to walk from venue to venue to watch matches.

Celtic and Rangers have both been directed to stage their next home games in the Scottish Cup without spectators following last season's Old Firm quarter-final, which was marred by crowd disturbances.
The two clubs could face a second home game behind closed doors should there be another incident where either club's followers participate in "unacceptable conduct" during a Scottish Cup tie.
The sanction will likely take effect when both teams enter this season's Scottish Cup at the fourth-round stage, which is set for mid-January. Celtic and Rangers will each be required to pay £100,000 (just over $135,000) to the opponent they are paired with in that round, as per The Mirror.

Enes Kanter Freedom's battle with the WNBA rolls on after the former NBA center was ejected from Sunday night's Indiana Fever-Chicago Sky matchup following a confrontation with Chicago guard Natasha Cloud.
Kanter Freedom was sitting courtside wearing a shirt reading "WOMAN noun. adult human female." Late in the third quarter, Cloud could be seen shouting at the self-proclaimed "human rights activist," while Kanter responded by stretching out his arms and taking a step toward the court before being removed by security.
On Wednesday, Fox News reported that Kanter Freedom, who has since been banned from attending Sky home games, has sent a letter to the WNBA, requesting, among other things, "an explanation for the basis of my ejection" and a full refund for the cost of his tickets.
Kanter Freedom claims Cloud was the instigator for the incident, saying the WNBA veteran "turned from the court, approached my seat, and began yelling, cursing, and pointing in my direction."
"According to the WNBA, any physical or verbal altercation with a fan is treated as conduct detrimental to the game," Kanter Freedom wrote. "The WNBA Office holds the authority to issue heavy fines or multi-game suspensions for players who cross the line into berating or cursing at spectators. Yet Ms. Cloud's conduct of yelling, swearing, and pointing at a spectator (me) appears to have escaped any accountability and was, in fact, defended by her coach."

Sophie Cunningham's transgender stance is dividing WNBA fans up and down North America.
The growing rivalry between the Atlanta Dream and Indiana Fever was there for all to see during their latest clash, but the energy extended far beyond the court.
While the teams battled in a tightly contested game, off-court discussions surrounding trans inclusion in women's sports continued to shadow things. The topic gained traction after Indiana's Sophie Cunningham defended her stance on restricting transgender athletes in female sports.
The tension led to a brief arena controversy when league security mistakenly asked spectators to cover shirts displaying political messages regarding the debate, a move the WNBA later clarified was an error.
In an interview after the Fever win, two Atlanta Dream season ticket holders were approached by a public interviewer by the name of Adam Francisco, who claims to have filed for the WNBA draft himself.

Indiana head football coach Curt Cignetti said he'd like the Hoosiers to play Notre Dame, but under certain conditions.
"Yeah, I'd like to play Notre Dame. They ought to come to our place twice, and we'll go up there once, since they're not in a conference," Cignetti said during an interview on Big Ten Network with Dave Revsine on Friday.
"I'd love to play them," he added. "It'd be a great in-state game."
Notre Dame might scoff at having to play twice at Indiana, where Memorial Stadium has a capacity of 53,524. Meanwhile, Notre Dame Stadium seats 77,622 spectators.
Indiana and Notre Dame were set to play each other in a home-and-home series during the 2030 and 2031 seasons. But the Hoosiers decided to back out of the agreement, The Athletic's Pete Sampson reported.
