Una auténtica final para Al-Qadisiyah. La gran sensación de la Liga saudí tiene una oportunidad de oro para avanzar en su lucha por el título. La temporada del cuadro dirigido por Míchel pasará a la historia. Y es que el año pasado estaba en Segunda división y esta campaña está peleando por todo. El primer paso, vencer a su histórico rival, Al-Ettifaq; este sábado 5 de abril a las 16:05 horas, en el Estadio Príncipe Mohamed bin Fahd de Damman.
Aubameyang marcó de penalti el tanto de la victoria.
El ‘milagro’ de Míchel
Nacho, Míchel, Aubameyang, Casteels y compañía le han dado la vuelta al Derbi del Este. La temporada pasada, el técnico español logró el ascenso matemático a la Saudi Pro League a cuatro jornadas del final. Lejos de luchar por la permanencia en esta temporada, los de Khobar se hicieron con refuerzos de lujo el pasado verano. Apostando, a su vez, por talento joven y demostrando un gran nivel de juego, el ‘equipo milagro’ de la Liga saudí va cuarto con 51 puntos, empatado con el Al-Nassr de Cristiano Ronaldo. Pero la diferencia de goles mantiene tercero al equipo capitaneado por el luso.
Opciones de título… y el año pasado en Segunda
A nueve jornadas para el desenlace de la competición, los ‘Caballeros del Este’ tienen opciones incluso de pelear el título, ya que están a diez puntos del líder, el Al-Ittihad de Karim Benzema. Igualmente, tienen muchas papeletas para clasificar a la Champions de Asia. A la máxima competición de clubes del continente acuden de forma directa los dos primeros clasificados y el Campeón de la Copa del Rey (torneo en el que están en la final y enfrentarán al propio Al-Ittihad). Además, el tercer clasificado de la Saudi Pro League accede a una fase previa para clasificar a esta competición continental.

Rivalidad histórica, a 15 minutos
Su próximo rival y vecino(sus estadios están a 15 minutos en coche) no está cuajando la mejor de sus temporadas. Es el séptimo clasificado (35 puntos) y su exentrenador, Steven Gerrard, fue destituido en este mismo mercado de invierno. Además, viene de caer contra el decimocuarto clasificado, Al-Feiha (club a cinco puntos del descenso). En otras ocasiones, los de Damman habrían sido los absolutos favoritos para llevarse este derbi, ya que son un club histórico del fútbol saudí.

El histórico invicto frente a la gran revelación
En la década de los 80 fue el gran equipo del país. Conquistó dos Ligas (1983 y 1987). Y fue el primer club de la Liga saudí en ganar un título internacional (Liga de campeones árabe, 1984). Además, es el único que ha logrado levantar la Liga invicto. Actualmente, el equipo no lleva su mejor racha, pero cuenta en la plantilla con nombres propios del fútbol europeo como Wijnaldum, el español Álvaro Medrán (ex Real Madrid), Vitinho y Demarai Gray.

Duelo con pasado en el Bernabéu
Nacho y Medrán tendrán un duelo con esencia de ‘La Fábrica. Y es que el ’10’ de Al-Ettifaq y el ‘6’ de Al-Qadisiyah pasaron por la cantera blancay coincidieron en e primer equipo en la temporada 2015-16. De este modo, no serán los únicos españoles del choque. Iker Almena (ex Girona) y Cameron Puertas acompañarán al seis veces campeón de la Champions League en un derbi clave, en lo que podría ser un triunfo histórico para una temporada de ensueño.

Jelena Ostapenko has apologized for her U.S. Open altercation with Taylor Townsend, in which she told Townsend that she had “no education.” Townsend, who is Black, also told ESPN that Ostapenko had said she had “no class.”In a statement on social media Saturday, three days removed from the incident, Ostapenko wrote that she wanted “to apologize for some of the things” she said during the second round singles match. The statement did not name or directly refer to Townsend, who beat the No. 25 seed 7-5, 6-1.

Who is the top quarterback prospect in this matchup? The “Nuss Bus” has the early lead in the eyes of NFL teams, but Cade Klubnik has improved each season, and that should continue during his senior year. Klubnik was my preseason pick for the Heisman Trophy, and he will benefit from a lackluster ACC schedule (similar to Cam Ward last season). Klubnik starts the season at No. 30 on my board, but he can rise if he continues to show development.There are more than a few LSU candidates for this category, including several wide receivers. But I will go with Harold Perkins Jr., who possesses first-round athleticism, even if his film reveals fifth-round consistency. Listed at 6 feet 1 and 222 pounds, Perkins already faced questions about his NFL role, and now needs to prove himself as he comes back […]

Littler cruises through but Van Gerwen dumped out of Flanders Darts Trophy
Luke Littler cruised through to the last 16 of the Flanders Darts Trophy with a whitewash win over Dylan Slevin on Saturday, while Michael van Gerwen suffered a shock early exit.Day Two of the year's tenth European Tour event saw 16 second-round matches take place on an epic day of action at the Antwerp Xpo, as Littler returned to Belgium in imperious fashion. Gian van Veen struck a big upset, defeating his idol and number two seed Van Gerwen 6-3, aided by four 180s.For Littler, the world champion hit 100 per cent of his doubles and averaged over 101 to record the first 6-0 win of the weekend over Slevin.Littler, who won the Lecot Belgian Darts Open in Wieze earlier this year, has his sights on a second European Tour title of the year.

Vechetu chtějí Pardubice, Hyský je ale proti. Je to náš přímý konkurent, vysvětluje
„Noviny čtu, o nějakém zájmu Pardubic vím. Tenhle přestup se mně ze sportovního hlediska ale nelíbí,“ přiznal trenér Karviné Martin Hyský.Přestupové okno se uzavře 8. září. Zda bude Vecheta v Karviné i po aktuální reprezentační pauze karvinský trenér ale zaručit nemůže. „S Filipem máme dohodu, která není žádným tajemstvím. Po výborné minulé sezóně chtěl udělat krok pryč a dostal k tomu svolení. Tohle stále platí a ta možnost jeho přestupu za lepším je do konce přestupního období stále ve hře,“ připomněl Hyský informaci už ze začátku přípravy.Zrovna do Pardubic by talentovaného útočníka ale pouštěl jen velmi nerad. „Pardubice jsou našim přímým konkurentem v lize. Tenhle přestup se mně ze sportovního hlediska nelíbí. Nechci to udělat. Na druhou stranu, když Pardubice s novým majitelem (miliardář Karel Pražák s jeho investiční skupinou Kaprain) přijdou a zaplatí adekvátní peníze, tak je potřeba se nad tím zamyslet,“ řekl Hyský.Foto: Petr Sznapka, ČTKDruhý zleva Filip Vecheta […]
Sayin Something! Julian Sayin Makes History, OSU Defense Shines Against Texas
On a Saturday packed with storylines, none loomed larger than Ohio State's memorable win over top-ranked Texas.FOX Sports’ RJ Young said that Saturday was "Julian Sayin's Day" — and the young Ohio State quarterback delivered under the bright lights. In his first career start, Sayin led the Buckeyes to a 14-7 victory over the Longhorns, etching his name in college football history in the process.Sayin became the first quarterback to make his debut start against a No. 1-ranked team and come away with a win since Jim Harbaugh did it for Michigan against Miami in 1984. The sophomore signal-caller executed with efficiency, avoided critical mistakes, and let the talent around him shine, finishing 13-of-20 with 126 yards and a touchdown."I was just operating the offense," Sayin said after the game in an on-field interview with Tom Rinaldi. "We have some […]
