Fluminense sai atrás, mas vence Vasco de virada com golaço de Guga no Brasileiro
Após sair perdendo para o Vasco, no clássico, pela décima rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro, o Fluminense virou o jogo com um belo gol do lateral-direito Guga. O Vasco, abriu o placar com o zagueiro João Victor e depois perdeu boas chances de ampliar. Com isso, o cruz-maltino viu o tricolor empatar com um gol contra do centroavante Pablo Vegetti e crescer no segundo tempo, fazendo o 2 a 1. Após algumas tentativas de ambos os lados, o primeiro ataque claro aconteceu aos 14 minutos, quando Everaldo recebeu passe de Renê e ajeitou a bola para o Hércules, em boa fase, arrematar na entrada da grande área, mas o chute foi para fora. No entanto, o lance serviu para esquentar o jogo e fazer o Fluminense sair mais para o ataque. O Vasco passou a pressionar mais na saída de bola […]

Scheffler makes big move at Colonial as Griffin and Schmid share lead
Scottie Scheffler made seven birdies and an eagle in the third round at the Charles Schwab Challenge in Texas with Robert MacIntyre also edging himself into contention.Coming off his third major victory at the PGA Championship a week ago, but starting the weekend 10 strokes off the lead, Scheffler is tied for seventh after shooting 6 under (64) after plundering seven birdies and an eagle. "You are always going to hope to go play a perfect round. It basically never happens," Scheffler said. "I mean, three bogeys definitely hurts, especially when you are trying to chase, but overall I did some good things."Scheffler will need another spectacular round Sunday to become the first player since Dustin Johnson in 2017 to win in three starts in a row, and the only player other than Ben Hogan in 1946 to win the […]
