David Brooks salvaged Wales a precious 1-1 World Cup qualifying draw against North Macedonia with almost the last kick of the match in Skopje.

Wales were the better side throughout but they suffered a sucker punch in a dramatic finish that saw North Macedonia score in the first minute of stoppage-time.

Substitute Joe Allen’s horrible back pass was intended for Joe Rodon but was cut out by Bojan Miovski and he finished brilliantly, slotting the ball under Karl Darlow.

Wales seemed down and out but in the sixth extra minute Kieffer Moore got his head to a long ball and Brooks squeezed the ball across the line.

With favourites Belgium yet to kick a ball in Group J, it could still prove a costly draw for Wales in the race for an automatic place at the 2026 finals in Canada, Mexico and United States.

North Macedonia had claimed a sixth consecutive win – the longest run of victories in their history – by brushing aside Liechtenstein on Saturday and now continue their strong start to World Cup qualifying with another point on Tuesday evening.

NFL Draft 2025: How Cowboys’ first-round pick Tyler Booker reminds Jerry Jones of Michael Irvin

Getty Images FRISCO, Texas -- Alabama Crimson Tide All-American offensive guard Tyler Booker, the 12th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys, hasn't been a Cowboy for even a week. However, he already has both All-Pro edge Micah Parsons and Dallas owner and general manager Jerry Jones ready to run through a brick wall after each have heard him speak. Parsons interviewed Booker on Bleacher Report's NFL Draft live reaction show shortly after the latter was selected by Dallas. After he heard Booker talking about making his opponents lose their love of football while going against him, he got Parsons screaming, "God damn, you just got me hype! Let's go! Hey man, welcome to the team!"Jones had an equivalent reaction -- as much as an 82-year-old can have to Parsons' fiery reaction -- while sitting next to […]

Po dvou domácích výhrách inkasoval 31letý Američan na cizím ledě celkem jedenáct gólů a série, do níž vítězové Presidents‘ Trophy vstupovali jako favorit, je rázem srovnaná na 2:2.Gólman, jenž měl v základní části průměr 2,00 gólu na zápas a úspěšnost zákroků 92,5 procenta, se v play off sklouznul do suterénu - 4,24 gólu a 81,7 procenta. Což je bída.Něco podobného se přitom Hellebuyckovi přihodilo i loni, kdy byli Jets v prvním kole play off vyřazeni Coloradem.

Kyle Dubas explains ‘amicable’ Mike Sullivan-Penguins split

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Mike Sullivan made no demands. Sidney Crosby had no input.And Kyle Dubas has suspected for a while now that his Pittsburgh Penguins needed a new coach. The past week was about him finding confirmation before bringing a seismic shift to the organization he joined two years ago.Advertisement“There were times throughout the year that I thought it just may be time,” Dubas said of Sullivan on Monday.“It’s a lot to ask of somebody, when they’ve done such a long and successful job here, to be managing that and continue to transition the team, too. Off the top of my head, I don’t know that there’s an NHL coach that’s done that.”Sullivan won’t get the chance with the Penguins.Following a couple of meetings last week — Tuesday in Pittsburgh and Sunday in Boston — Dubas trusted his gut […]
