Saad Yaslam's own goal gave Al-Nassr the lead inside 90 seconds and Jorge Jesus's team seemed poised for a comfortable win when former Bayern Munich, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain winger Kingsley Coman scored an eighth-minute bicycle kick. Home defender Mohamed Simakan's own goal in the 31st minute gave hope to the visitors, who equalised eight minutes after the restart when Carlos Junior broke clear and clipped in.
On arrival in Rabat they were surrounded by fans and locals demanding selfies and videos released on social media show them being jostled as they made their way through the station to the team bus. The FSF statement spoke of a clear lack of adequate security measures that exposed the players and technical staff to overcrowding and risks incompatible with the standards of a competition of this magnitude and the prestige of a continental final.
Around two weeks later, they contacted my father and said, We've been talking about it internally and given that Michael's very young, we think he needs a season to adapt, so we think we should make it a three-plus-one contract four years in total. My father said that was OK, but Liverpool then told him it would be for the same terms as the previously agreed three-year deal.
Anis Ben Slimane gave Norwich a ninth-minute lead before the in-form Sam Smith restored parity before the break. Jovon Makama struck after 58 minutes to take his Championship goals tally into double figures and end Wrexham's 10-game unbeaten home league run that stretched back to Sept. 13. Norwich remain in the relegation zone despite an upturn in results since Philippe Clement succeeded the sacked Liam Manning in November, but are within a point of Blackburn and Portsmouth in 22nd.
Sacha Boey is currently sidelined with a severe gastrointestinal problem. But that's only part of the story. Before the illness, Vincent Kompany wasn't entirely happy with Boey. The incident took place on November 8 against Union Berlin. Kompany has a rule, 'Be Ready', meaning he wants his players to be immediately ready with their shinpads, boots, and tapes when he demands a substitution.
Pep Guardiola's side have suffered a real injury crisis of late, particularly at centre-back, and that has been a factor in their falling off the pace in the Premier League title race. City are now six points adrift of league leaders Arsenal at the top. They are without three key central defenders - Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol and John Stones - with the trio all ruled out long-term.
Sam Kerr scored twice as holders Chelsea put five goals past WSL2 side Crystal Palace to reach the fifth round of the Women's FA Cup. Millie Bright found an early opener for Sonia Bompastor's side, nodding in a corner at the back post to take the lead in the 13th minute. The Blues made it 3-0 by the half-hour mark,
Brighton manager Dario Vidosic will take a period of leave for family reasons, the club have confirmed. As a result, he will miss Brighton's Women's FA Cup fourth-round tie with Nottingham Forest on Sunday (13:00 GMT). Assistant head coach Chris Roberts, supported by first-team coach Arthur Brammer, will take interim charge for the foreseeable future. Roberts has previous experience as interim manager, fulfilling the role while at Everton at the end of the 2021-22 season.
I think there's a strong possibility he could leave, especially now following the arrival of Antoine Semenyo. It's pushed him even further down the pecking order in Pep Guardiola's plans. He's injured at the minute, so that might put a question mark over his possible departure in the January transfer window, but I don't think it's a serious injury. I think for Oscar Bobb himself, he probably needs to be playing regularly after a couple of injuries and seasons which have delayed his development.
Paris Saint-Germain are finalising details for the transfer of Dro Fernández, the latest prodigy from Barcelona's academy, sources confirmed to ESPN. After another day of talks on Saturday between the European champions and the 18-year-old Spaniard's agent, who is also the agent of PSG manager Luis Enrique, a deal has been agreed on principal for a contract until 2030.

Ex-Sutton Coldfield Town Women's boss Ryan Hamilton used social media platforms Snapchat and WhatsApp to send pictures of his genitals as well as videos of himself masturbating, while telling the women directly that he wanted to have sex in places such as the changing room.
