Portugal conquistou o título da Liga das Nações da UEFA neste domingo (8), ao superar a Espanha na final nos pênaltis. O jogo acabou empatado por 2 a 2 no tempo normal, e foi para as penalidades máximas. Cristiano Ronaldo marcou o gol de empate que deixou a Seleção Portuguesa com chances de levantar o troféu. Enquanto isso, Diogo Costa pegou o pênalti de Álvaro Morata e definiu a disputa.
Portugal conquistou seu segundo título da Nations League, terceiro troféu de Cristiano Ronaldo com a seleção. Os portugueses foram os primeiros campeões da história da competição, em 2019, batendo a Holanda na época. Assim, o time lusitano ganha moral para a Copa do Mundo de 2026.
O clássico entre Portugal e Espanha começou frenético, com ambas equipes jogando de forma ofensiva e priorizando o ataque. Logo aos 21′, a Espanha tratou de abrir o placar com o volante Zubimendi, que aproveitou falha de João Neves para balançar as redes de Diogo Costa.
No entanto, não demorou muito para que Portugal reagisse e empatasse a partida. Cinco minutos após sofrer o gol, aos 26′, o lateral Nuno Mendes experimentou um chute rasteiro e cruzado, e acertou o cantinho de Unai Simón. De fato, um golaço na Allianz Arena, para aumentar a emoção da final.
Com 1 a 1 no placar, a Espanha se destacou com o controle das ações até o fim do primeiro tempo, e o domínio deu certo. Aos 45′, o atacante Oyarzabal recebeu belo passe de Pedri e, dentro da área, estufou as redes para colocar os espanhóis na frente.
Cristiano Ronaldo marca e leva jogo para a prorrogação
Aos 40 anos, Cristiano Ronaldo mostrou que ainda não perdeu a capacidade de decidir partidas. Na marca dos 15 minutos do segundo tempo, Nuno Mendes cruzou na área, a bola desviou na defesa e sobrou para CR7 chutar forte e empatar a partida. Em seguida, os times administraram o placar e foram para a prorrogação.
Ao contrário dos 90 minutos, na prorrogação só deu Portugal, que dominou as melhores jogadas ofensivas. Em resumo, Rafael Leão foi o responsável por impulsionar várias tramas da seleção portuguesa pela esquerda. Assim, em uma das jogadas, quando o jogador entrou em velocidade na área, acabou caindo, e pediu pênalti. No entanto, isso gerou revolta no elenco da Espanha, e Baena acabou empurrando o português por trás, gerando um princípio de confusão.
A prorrogação confirmou o empate por 2 a 2, já que ninguém conseguiu marcar. Assim, a partida foi para a decisão nas penalidades máximas. Nos pênaltis, todos os cobradores marcaram, com exceção de Álvaro Morata, que teve sua batida defendida por Diogo Costa, herói do título.

2025 NBA Finals schedule, odds, TV coverage: Thunder vs. Pacers game times, dates as OKC evens series
Imagn Images The Oklahoma City Thunder evened up the 2025 NBA Finals at one game apiece with a dominant 123-107 Game 2 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. OKC's defense didn't give Indiana any space to breathe, and the offense was much smoother than it was in their stunning Game 1 loss. The series now shifts to Indianapolis for a pivotal Game 3 on Wednesday with the series tied 1-1.Neither of these cities has technically won a title. The Pacers have never won an NBA championship (though Indiana won three ABA titles in the 1970s), and the Thunder franchise won a championship as the Seattle SuperSonics in 1979, but the team has never won it all since moving to Oklahoma City in 2008. The Thunder will host four of the seven games, since OKC had an NBA-best 68 wins […]

SAN FRANCISCO — If anyone was surprised to see the Atlanta Braves lose 4-3 Sunday to the San Francisco Giants, apparently they haven’t been watching the Braves play.Because lately, that’s what the Braves do: They lose, usually by one run.They have lost 14 of 17 games, their worst stretch since a 3-14 skid April 21-May 10, 2016. That was the week before Fredi González was fired and replaced by current manager Brian Snitker, who has helped develop a winning culture in Atlanta over the past seven years but is struggling mightily with this underperforming team and its flawed roster.AdvertisementThe Braves have a seven-game losing streak, matching the 0-7 skid they had to begin the season, the first time they’ve had multiple skids that long in a season since 2016.

Spain wins New York Sail Grand Prix, becomes first repeat winner of SailGP season
NEW YORK — After a shaky start to its SailGP season, a Spanish victory at the New York Sail Grand Prix on Sunday shows that Diego Botín’s team is fully back on track.Botín’s group won the last event in San Francisco back in March, making them the first repeat winners of 2025 after there were five different winners in the first five events.AdvertisementWhile the cheer from the crowd on Governor’s Island was certainly loud for the jubilant Spanish, it had been just as big for the winners of the opening race of Sunday’s session, when Brazil crossed the finish in first place. As the first and currently only female driver in SailGP, two-time Olympic gold medalist Martine Grael made history as she steered her hydrofoiling F50 to the race win.Nor was that moment of Brazilian brilliance a flash in the […]
