Offspinner Mujeeb Zadran ripped through Nepal Under-19 with figures of 6 for 28 to haul Afghanistan Under-19 into their maiden final of the Asia Cup in Kuala Lumpur. Nepal were skittled for 103 after being put in to bat, with nine of their batsmen dismissed for single-digit scores, before Afghanistan finished their chase within 21 overs with the help of Rahman Gul’s 71 off 65 balls.Nepal, who shot to glory after defeating defending champions India in the group stage, struggled early in their innings as they lost their openers within the first four overs. They found some respite in the form of Anil Sah – who brought up a half-century – while the rest of the batsmen’s scores added up to only 39. Mujeeb dismissed the top five batsmen and legspinner Qais Ahmed chipped in with two dismissals to dismantle Nepal in 28 overs.Afghanistan were off to a solid start in their chase, despite losing their opener Ibrahim Zadran early. Gul slammed nine fours and two sixes as Afghanistan inched closer to their target, but lost his wicket with just 12 runs required to win. No. 4 batsman Darwish Rasooli saw them through in the next eight balls. Afghanistan will be taking on Pakistan in the final at the same venue.
O São Paulo perdeu por 3 a 0 para o Atlético-MG na noite desta quinta-feira, mas dominou o jogo nos primeiros 30 minutos, criou diversas oportunidades e ainda teve um gol anulado pelo VAR de forma polêmica. Para o técnico Fernando Diniz, estes podem ter sido os melhores momentos do Tricolor desde que ele foi contratado, há quase um ano.
– Estou contente com o desenvolvimento do time. A gente tem que conseguir replicar o que fizemos hoje nos 35 minutos iniciais, que talvez tenham sido os melhores que a gente fez desde que cheguei aqui – elogiou o treinador, que soma 39 partidas desde que chegou, incluindo duas em que esteve suspenso e não ficou no banco.

– A gente teve dois tempos distintos. No primeiro, o nosso plano de jogo encaixou quase perfeitamente. Tivemos quatro ou cinco chances muito claras, mais o erro, pelo que vi na televisão, do VAR. O gol mudaria completamente a história do jogo, ainda mais pelo momento que a gente estava vivendo. A gente tomou um gol que estava mapeado. Até pela maneira que a gente está jogando, com as linhas mais altas, era um lance em que deveríamos saber nos proteger mais. E o segundo gol foi em uma bola longa do goleiro, perdemos a primeira, a segunda, e o Atlético acabou fazendo o gol – emendou.
Em meio aos elogios, Diniz fez algumas críticas ao time: os alvos foram o mau aproveitamento das oportunidades criadas, o desencaixe na marcação no primeiro gol do Galo e a saída de bola deficiente da equipe no segundo tempo. Embora tenha reconhecido mérito na marcação avançada do adversário, Diniz disse que seu time também cometeu erros, possivelmente gerados por fatores psicológicos.
– O São Paulo teve uma predominância, mas não fez o gol. Na primeira bola deles, eles fizeram. Na segunda também. Isso acabou determinando o desenvolvimento da partida. Muita a parte anímica, a confiança. Até tomar o gol, tivemos cada vez mais confiança, cada vez mais controle da partida. A partir do momento do gol, houve uma inversão.
O próximo jogo do São Paulo será às 16h de domingo, contra o Fluminense, no Morumbi. O time segue em segundo lugar, com três pontos a menos que o líder Internacional.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola could be about to get his hands on a replacement for Riyad Mahrez by signing one of Europe's most promising young wingers, according to reports.
Who is the Mahrez replacement going to be?
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has given a crucial update in Manchester City's pursuit of Rennes winger Jeremy Doku, stating on X: "Man City, advancing on Jeremy Doku deal as new verbal proposal close to €55/60m package is being discussed with Rennes.
There’s competition but City hope to reach an agreement with Rennes this week — after green light on player side since beginning of August."
Sky Sports also confirm that Manchester City are in talks with Rennes over Doku as they look to bring in another offensive player at the Etihad Stadium following the departure of Riyad Mahrez to Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli for £30 million.
It is believed that the Belgium international has emerged as a 'leading contender' to succeed Mahrez at Manchester City. West Ham United have emerged as rival suitors for the £25k-a-week ace and had a bid rejected to try and bring him to the London Stadium earlier this month, though they are unlikely to win a race against the treble winners.
Football Insider claim that personal terms have already been agreed between Manchester City and Doku while a personal 'intervention' from Guardiola has brought the proposed deal 'very close' to full completion.
Doku found himself on the Rennes substitutes bench last week amid speculation surrounding his impending move to the Premier League champions, which looks like it is now edging closer to becoming a reality.
How good actually is Jeremy Doku?
Doku possesses plenty of flair and exciting attributes and is as highly recommended as they come, having previously been hailed as "incredibly quick" by none other than Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe in the past, cited by Get French Football News.
Bringing in an exciting young talent following a period of excellent service from Algeria international Mahrez will be one of Guardiola and Txiki Begiristain's biggest priorities in the remainder of the window and it now looks as if they are close to getting one of their main targets on board.
Belgium forward Jeremy Doku.
In his time at Ligue 1 side Rennes, Doku has made 92 appearances across all competitions, registering 12 goals and ten assists in the process, as per Transfermarkt.
Of course, elite clubs pay a premium for potential in the modern day and it is easy to see what qualities the 21-year-old can bring to the table.
According to WhoScored, Doku evaded his opposition marker with regularity last term, completing 3.3 dribbles per fixture in the French top flight. He also gained an average match rating of 7.08/10 in Ligue 1, showing commendable consistency in his displays.
FBRef illustrate that the Borgerhout-born attacker has excelled in comparison to his positional peers across Europe's top five divisions concerning the art of progressive carries, managing 6.94 per 90 minutes in the last 365 days, putting him in the 99th percentile for this metric.
Under the tutelage of Guardiola and his coaching staff, Doku could go on to become a Premier League star with the correct guidance if he is to move to Manchester City.
Tiago Nunes foi demitido pelo Corinthians na última sexta-feira, um dia após a derrota para o Palmeiras por 2 a 1, mas apenas nesta terça-feira o presidente Andrés Sanchez se pronunciou sobre a decisão de mandar embora o treinador, já que na última semana havia dito que manteria o profissional no cargo, apesar da forte pressão. No entanto, ele admitiu que acabou mudando de ideia ao conversar com diretores próximos e descartou influência do elenco no tema.

Segundo Andrés Sanchez, em entrevista para o Grupo Globo antes do Dérbi, uma justificativa para demitir Tiago Nunes seria a impressão de que o treinador havia perdido o controle do grupo. Porém, de acordo com o mandatário, não foi isso o que aconteceu e o motivo pelo qual decidiu trocar o comando se deu por conversas com diretores do clube, que viram que era momento de mudar.
-Houve matérias dizendo que eu tive reunião na sexta com os jogadores, mas isso é mentira. Sexta de manhã eu estava na CBF, nem estive com os jogadores, só encontrei eles no sábado. A intenção era não tirar o Tiago naquele momento, mas conversando com os diretores nós decidimos, por bem, trocar. Achamos que devia trocar, mudei de opinião em três dias. Infelizmente o futebol é dinâmico. Jogador não teve influência nenhuma em tirar treinador. Nunca teve influência de jogador, nem para pôr, nem para tirar.
-Ele saiu porque os diretores que estavam aqui me convenceram de que era o momento de mudar. Não teve nenhuma participação de jogadores. Futebol é dinâmico, vamos repensando. Eu não gostaria, mas infelizmente tivemos que tirar – completou Andrés Sanchez.
Perguntado sobre quais foram as alegações dos diretores para demitir Tiago Nunes, Andrés citou a falta de resultados e o a impressão de que o time não “deu liga”, mas em outra resposta, sobre a manutenção ou não da ideia de mudança de filosofia de jogo, o presidente corintiano disse que busca um técnico que possa explorar o melhor de cada jogador do elenco.
-Resultado. O time não estava encaixando com ele. Por isso foi decidido. Não é que me convenceram, eu também achei que era o momento de mudar. Só isso, não teve participação de mais ninguém.
-Eu nunca falei de mudar filosofia, e o treinador também não. Falamos em ser mais proativos. Cada um tem seu jeito de jogar. Vamos ver qual treinador vai vir, para ele impôr a maneira dele jogar. O treinador tem que saber explorar o melhor de cada jogador – explicou o mandatário.
Por fim, Andrés fez questão de reforçar que o elenco não teve influência na demissão de Tiago Nunes, como muito se especulou desde o anúncio, na última sexta-feira. Segundo o presidente, esse tipo de coisa não acontece no Corinthians, e elogiou o profissionalismo do atual grupo de jogadores.
-Errou quem falou que tive reunião com os jogadores na sexta de tarde. Nem aqui eu tava. Começa errado, termina errado. Desde que eu participo do Corinthians como presidente e diretor, jogador nenhum interferiu para trazer ou colocar jogador. O Tite já foi campeão de tudo e saiu xingado. Infelizmente futebol é isso. Os jogadores estão trabalhando profissionalmente, como poucos que já vi em grupo – concluiu.
England managed to take four wickets – including that of Steven Smith for 40 – but Australia had nevertheless built a solid platform after Joe Root’s decision to put them in
The Report by Brydon Coverdale02-Dec-2017 Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsIt is a bold captain who sends the opposition in to bat in any Test match, let alone in the Ashes, let alone away from home, let alone on an obviously good batting pitch. But that was the decision Joe Root made on the first day in Adelaide; by stumps it still looked a bold call, and not necessarily a good one. Australia were not exactly unscathed by the close of play, but at 4 for 209, neither were they as scathed as Root had intended.Two recent field-first decisions by England captains in Australia stick out in the memory. When Nasser Hussain sent Steve Waugh’s men in at the Gabba in 2002, he knew his mistake by the fifth over of the match. Australia closed the first day at 2 for 364. But at the MCG in 2010, Andrew Strauss was rewarded for his brave move when Australia were skittled for 98, and by stumps England were 0 for 157 in reply. Root’s call falls somewhere in between.There was some swing and seam movement early in the day, but Australia’s openers left well and were untroubled during a rain-affected opening session. Under lights in the evening, the ball again moved around, and here Australia lost two key wickets: Usman Khawaja edged behind to a James Anderson ball that moved away, and Steven Smith played on to the debutant fast bowler Craig Overton.Such was Smith’s impact at the Gabba that Root might almost consider getting Smith for 40 to be worth the bowl-first decision in itself. As Root noted in the lead-up to this Test, take out Smith’s score at the Gabba and Australia lost the rest of their wickets for less than 200. Still, England failed to run through the Australians after snaring Khawaja and Smith, and by stumps Peter Handscomb was well set on 36 and Shaun Marsh had 20.Australia were hoping that one of those two men would cash in, for David Warner (47), Smith (40) and Khawaja (53) had all made strong starts that did not evolve into great innings. No partnership lasted 20 overs, and England continued to chip away through the rain-shortened day.In fact, there was much chippy behaviour from both sides, not surprisingly after the Jonny Bairstow headbutt saga of the Gabba Test. Smith was welcomed to the crease by an aggressive spell from Stuart Broad that included many exchanges of words, and later Smith found himself involved in a petty turf-war with Anderson, who was fielding at catching mid-on to Handscomb, very close to where Smith was stationed as non-striker.In the end, it was Overton who did the important job of actually removing Smith, and not just annoying him. Overton found the perfect length to trouble Australia’s captain, who was caught in no-man’s-land between playing forward and back, and inside-edged onto his stumps. Picked in place of Jake Ball, Overton justified his inclusion with that one delivery.Earlier in the final session, Anderson had stopped Khawaja turning his start into something more when he moved one away just enough to be edged to gully, where James Vince took a sharp catch moving to his left. Khawaja had failed to add to his dinner score, and his departure must have relieved Mark Stoneman, who had dropped a gettable chance in the deep when Khawaja had 44 and top-edged a hook off Chris Woakes.Khawaja was not the first Australian to flirt outside the off stump when he felt set: Warner fell for 47 when he dabbled at Woakes and was caught behind by Bairstow. Warner was frustrated at himself after working patiently for 102 deliveries, and he wasn’t the only Australian left frustrated by David Warner.After the opening session was reduced to 13.5 overs due to persistent rain, it took only four balls for England to strike upon the resumption. Warner pushed Broad towards cover and a misfield from Moeen Ali resulted in Warner calling Cameron Bancroft through for a single. But Warner changed his mind and Bancroft was caught short at the non-striker’s end by a direct hit from Woakes. Perhaps Bancroft’s heavy head slowed down his turning speed.It was just the boost England needed after few balls threatened the stumps in the opening session. Still, Root had to find a way through the rest of the top order and it was therefore a little surprising, given Khawaja’s struggles against spin, that he waited until Khawaja had faced 26 balls before introducing Moeen. By then, Khawaja was set, and he had no qualms about advancing and lofting Moeen over mid-off.By the time Khawaja had the second half-century of his Ashes career, and stood alongside Smith at the crease on 2 for 139, Root’s gamble at the toss was looking poor. At least when stumps arrived, Root was well out of Hussain territory.
West Ham United are facing fierce competition from Fulham in the race to sign a Premier League striker before deadline day…
What’s the latest West Ham transfer news?
The Irons and the Cottagers are in the market for a new frontman, having lost Gianluca Scamacca and Aleksandar Mitrovic this summer, and both clubs have identified Dominic Solanke as a possible option.
According to Football Insider, West Ham have submitted an offer believed to be around £40m as they look to reinforce their attacking options.
Read the latest West Ham transfer news HERE…
However, the report also said Fulham have a ‘concrete’ interest in Solanke, but the west Londoners are reluctant to match their city rival's bid and are only willing to table around £30m.
This puts David Moyes’ side in pole position, but a deal is far from finished as AFC Bournemouth are yet to accept any proposals.
Would Dominic Solanke be a good signing for West Ham?
Solanke’s decision to join the Cherries in 2019 has worked out beautifully, as he has evolved from being a sporadic second-tier scorer into a consistent top-flight threat.
In the 2021/22 season, the forward was an indispensable component of the Scott Parker side which clinched promotion back to the Premier League – he started every Championship game and was the division’s second-highest scorer with 29 goals.
As is the case with any free-scoring Championship striker, there is always an overhanging question mark of whether they will be effective in the top flight.
But, Solanke has demonstrated that he is a useful, dogged, and effervescent attacking force in the Premier League.
Last term, he netted six times and crafted seven assists, often tasked with dropping deep to link play and lead an aggressive press.
Dominic-Solanke-Bournemouth
His former manager Gary O’Neil recognised the £50k-per-week dynamo's invaluable contribution to the team and said:
“Dom works his socks off for me. People that maybe don’t know, could underestimate how big Dom is for this group. Absolutely massive. I couldn’t ask for a better number nine to go and face the challenges that we’re faced with.”
The 40-year-old has extended his praise, hailing Solanke as a “dream as a centre-forward.”
A workhorse frontman of this impressive profile could forge a devastating partnership with Lucas Paqueta, who now looks set to stay in the English capital.
The Brazilian is currently being investigated by the FA for potential betting breaches, casting serious doubt over his proposed transfer to Manchester City. It was understood that the reigning European champions were close to reaching an agreement with the playmaker before the allegations surfaced.
Nevertheless, Paqueta hasn’t let this disruption affect his West Ham form, and he was a pivotal part of a 3-1 victory over Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.
The technician’s trickery and energy were a constant nuisance for Mauricio Pochettino’s men, and he rounded off the game with an injury-time penalty.
Similarly to Solanke, the 5 foot 11 artist has amassed a formidable reputation for his athleticism and work rate. This is mirrored by his rank within the top 5% in Europe’s top five leagues among his positional peers for tackles, blocks, clearances, and aerials won per 90.
The possibility of these attackers lining up together is a mouth-watering prospect and is an avenue that the West Ham hierarchy should continue exploring.

Emprestado aoSeattle Sounders, dos Estados Unidos, o jogador declarou a sua paixão e disse sentir falta da atmosfera da torcida no Nilton Santos.
– Tenho muita saudade de vestir a camisa do Botafogo, de viver a atmosfera do Nilton Santos. Foram três anos em que criei laço muito forte com o clube e com os profissionais. Deixei muitos amigos e colegas de profissão. É claro que há uma saudade grande, até hoje falo com o pessoal – comentou, e em seguida completou.
– Tenho identificação forte com Botafogo e Santa Cruz. No Santa tive renascimento no futebol, após dois anos difíceis. Coloco os dois clubes na mesma prateleira. O Botafogo foi desafio maior, jogar Libertadores e Série A, ser mais protagonista. Foram dois grandes desafios, diferentes, mas que guardo com muito carinho – frisou

O interesse aconteceu em agosto do ano passado, foram muito cautelosos, observaram, foram a dois jogos no Brasil. Em janeiro iniciei o ano no Botafogo, acabou acontecendo, muito pela minha polivalência, de poder jogar em mais de uma função no meio – explicou.
