Nas oitavas! Red Bull Bragantino vence o Tolima e avança na Sul-Americana

MatériaMais Notícias

da imperador bet: Precisando da vitória na noite desta terça-feira para seguir na Conmebol Sul-Americana, o Red Bull Bragantino não dependia apenas de suas próprias forças para avançar. Entretanto, a equipe brasileira viu as coisas mudarem radicalmente, já que o Emelec, que liderava o Grupo D no começo da rodada, acabou perdendo seu jogo e, de virada, derrotouo Tolima por 2 a 1 garantindo o clube nas oitavas.

Com o resultado, o time de Maurício Barbieri encerrou sua participação na fase de grupos na 1ª colocação com 12 pontos, porém terá que aguardar o sorteio que definirá seu adversário na próxima fase. Já os colombianos, com o revés sofrido, fecharam sua participação na lanterna da chave com apenas 3 pontos.

Precisando do resultado para carimbar sua vaga rumo ao mata-mata, o Red Bull Bragantino, desde os primeiros minutos, montou uma verdadeira blitz próximo a grande área adversária. Entretanto, não conseguia criar chances reais de gols, assustando apenas uma vez com Helinho, em uma cobrança de falta que passou perto da trave de Montero.

TOLIMA MELHORA E PASSA A OFERECER PERIGO

Mesmo sem chances de classificação, a equipe colombiana não estava disposta a sair de campo com mais uma derrota na chave. Sendo assim, com o relógio correndo, passou a dar mais trabalho ao sistema defensivo do Massa Bruta.

Em algumas chegadas, a que causou mais perigo aconteceu aos 17 minutos. Depois de armar um rápido contra-ataque, os mandantes acabaram perdendo a chance de abrir a contagem numa trama de Orozco e Riasco, que acabou não sendo finalizada contra o gol do camisa 18 do Red Bull.

COLOMBIANOS ABREM O PLACAR, PORÉM SOFREM O EMPATE EM SEGUIDA

Após conseguir chegar com mais frequência ao seu campo de ataque, aos 36 minutos a equipe de Hernán Oliveros marcou seu primeiro tento. Em um lançamento para a área do Red Bull, Cleiton e Caicedo chegaram a disputar a bola, que sobrou para o atacante marcar de frente para o gol.

Tentando manter a calma mesmo em desvantagem, a equipe brasileira partiu pra cima em busca de igualar o marcador novamente. E deu certo. Aos 41 minutos, Ytalo, após receber bom passe de Lucas Evangelista, chutou sem chances para o arqueiro rival, com a bola batendo na trave antes de entrar.

BRAGANTINO APERTA A SAÍDA DE BOLA

Com ambos os times voltando para a etapa final, os comandados de Maurício Barbieri estavam dispostos a conseguir a virada no placar. Nos primeiros movimentos o Braga chegou a apertar a saída de bola dos colombianos, fazendo com que o adversário ficasse preso em seu campo de defesa.

MANDANTES PASSAM A DAR MAIS TRABALHO

Ainda na busca de encontrar outro gol, os times seguiam na expectativa de conseguir espaços em campo visando as finalizações. Com isso, o Tolima, após realizar uma troca colocando Campaz no lugar de Cataño, percebeu erros de marcação por parte do Massa Bruta, e deu trabalho a Cleiton, como no chute de Caicedo, que parou nas luvas do arqueiro.

TOLIMA TEM JOGADOR EXPULSO, E BRAGANTINO APROVEITA

Vendo o relógio caminhar de forma rápida, o Red Bull ainda mantinha as esperanças em alta. Aos 28 minutos, Celis acabou recebendo o segundo amarelo e, consequentemente, o vermelho em seguida, desfalcando seu time em campo.

Percebendo que o rival não iria se expor muito, a equipe de Bragança Paulista não deixou barato e tratou de ir pra cima. Em duas tentativas quase que na sequência, Claudinho e Artur até que tentaram surpreender Montero, porém foi aos 35 minutos que Lucas Evangelista resolveu a situação e colocou os visitantes em vantagem no jogo. Red Bull 2 a 1.

Na reta final, apenas administrando o resultado, Maurício promoveu mais algumas trocas até os acréscimos, dando a deixa para a arbitragem colocar um ponto final no duelo realizado no estádio Nuevo Pueblo, garantindo a equipe nas oitavas da Sul-Americana.

Leeds "leader" also a doubt for Derby after new injury update emerges

da apostaganha: Leeds United, as they look to at least stay within touching distance of Sheffield United at the top of the Championship, have been dealt fresh injury news with another star man now a doubt to face Derby County.

Leeds injury news

da betobet: After a tumultuous summer transfer window saw the likes of Archie Gray and Crysencio Summerville depart, the last thing that Daniel Farke needed was consistent injury problems at Elland Road. But since the window has slammed shut, the former Norwich City boss has been handed headache after headache at times, losing Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev to leave his midfield incredibly short on options.

January move: Leeds target "prolific" £8.5m star to finally ditch Bamford

Daniel Farke will be looking to add more firepower to his Leeds United attack.

It’s only as we enter December that Ampadu – a crucial member of this Leeds side – is working his way back to fitness. Farke confirmed the news, telling reporters as relayed by Leeds Live: “Ethan is back in full team training since this week and he looks good. He can handle the load.

“Normally when a player is out for such a long time, the first time the player is back in the squad after two or three weeks you would say he needs that two or three weeks of team training until he can come on.

“He’s ahead of schedule being back in team training and this is testament to his professional and good work. he was also desperate to come back as soon as possible. We still will be a bit careful, but for us and for me, he is not a normal player. He is our captain and the most important player in the whole squad and for that I am tempted to bring him in a little bit earlier instead of waiting two or three weeks.”

Just as Ampadu returns, however, the Whites have seemingly been dealt a further blow. According to BBC Sport’s Adam Pope, Junior Firpo is now a doubt to face Derby after a training ground injury and could miss this weekend’s game alongside Sam Byram, who is also unavailable.

"Leader" Firpo is enduring a frustrating spell

Dubbed a “leader” by Farke at the start of the season, Firpo is in the middle of a fairly frustrating spell after missing three games prior to his return in a shock defeat against Blackburn and now potentially sidelined once again ahead of the Derby game. An important player at Elland Road, the left-back will hope to finally get a run of games under his belt throughout the festive fixtures.

Just three points adrift of leaders Sheffield United and sitting third in the Championship, the coming weeks could quickly leave the Whites on course for automatic promotion if results go their way. Of course, after suffering playoff heartbreak at Wembley last season, Farke will undoubtedly be keen to avoid anything but an automatic place in the Premier League.

The return of his “leader” Firpo – should he miss Derby this weekend – will act as a welcomed boost, as will Ampadu’s surprise return ahead of schedule. As their injury problems finally ease, Leeds could set their sights on the top spot.

Australia seamer set to be available for full Blast season

ESPNcricinfo staff12-Dec-2022

Kane Richardson had an impressive Hundred with Birmingham Phoenix•Getty Images

Kane Richardson will play county cricket for the first time in 2023 after signing a contract with Kent for the duration of the T20 Blast.Richardson, the death-overs specialist who has been a regular feature of Australia’s white-ball squads, played English domestic cricket for the first time last summer, taking 13 wickets for Birmingham Phoenix in the Hundred.He has not registered for the upcoming IPL auction, having been part of the competition in previous seasons, which means he will be available for the duration of the Blast, including the knockout stages.Kent were Blast champions in 2021 but struggled badly in their title defence last summer, winning only three of their 14 group-stage games. They have lost Matt Milnes, a key part of their T20 attack, to Yorkshire this winter but have recruited the veteran Michael Hogan from Glamorgan and confirmed Richardson’s signing on Monday.”Kent have a great T20 pedigree and I’m looking forward to the challenge of performing in the Vitality Blast for the first time,” Richardson said. “I know the club has won both English white-ball titles in the last two years and it’ll be my job to help us continue this hot run of form in 2023.”Paul Downton, Kent’s director of cricket, said that Richardson would play an important role as a senior player to help the development of their younger seam bowlers. “We’re really excited to have Kane join us for the whole T20 competition this year,” he said.”He’s an established international bowler who will bring a vast amount of experience to the club. His skillset is up there with the best and he will be an invaluable source of information to our young and developing seamers.”Counties are permitted three overseas players in their squad simultaneously but only two can feature in the playing XI in any given competition. Last year, Kent used George Linde and Qais Ahmad as their overseas players in the Blast, and Linde is due to return for the second year of his contract in 2023.Kent’s Blast season starts at home to Gloucestershire on May 23. Their final group game is away at Somerset on July 2, with the knockout stages due to be staged in the subsequent two weeks.

استطاع نادي برشلونة الخروج من عنق الزجاجة، وحقق فوزًا مثيرًا اليوم السبت على حساب ديبورتيفو ألافيس بثلاثة مقابل هدف واحد، ضمن منافسات الجولة الرابعة عشر من بطولة الدوري الإسباني للدرجة الأولى.

برشلونة دخل لقاء اليوم بتشكيلة أغلب عناصرها من اللاعبين الأساسيين وعلى رأسهم رافينيا، والذي عاد من جديد من الإصابة للعب بعد غياب خلال الفترة الماضية.

وعلى الرغم من سعي برشلونة لتصحيح الأمور في لقاء اليوم، إلا أن البلوجرانا تفاجأ بهدف مبكر من قبل ديبورتيفو ألافيس، والذي جاء عن طريق بابلو إيبانيز في الدقيقة الأولى.

إيبانيز استغل كرة ركنية لعبت في بداية اللقاء وسط خطأ من دفاع برشلونة، ليسجل هدف التقدم لألافيس.

وبعد ذلك بدأ برشلونة في الضغط بقوة على مرمى ألافيس لتعديل النتيجة، وسط تألق واضح من قبل لامين يامال، والذي عبث بدفاع الضيوف اليوم.

وترجم يامال تألقه في لقاء اليوم إلى هدف في الدقيقة الثامنة، حيث استغل الجناح الأيمن عرضية من رافينيا ليسدد الكرة بقوة في شباك ألافيس.

وعاد رافينيا من جديد ليمنح تمريرة الهدف الثاني لبرشلونة، والذي جاء عن طريق داني أولمو في الدقيقة 26.

وبعد ذلك حاول برشلونة تسجيل الهدف الثالث وتأمين النتيجة، لكن لاعبي ألافيس أظهروا شراسة كبيرة وإصرار على تعديل النتيجة.

لكن بالرغم من محاولات لاعبي ألافيس لتجنب الخسارة، إلا أن برشلونة نجح في الحفاظ على تقدمه، بل وإضافة هدف ثالث بواسطة أولمو في الدقيقة 93.

وبتلك النتيجة رفع برشلونة رصيده إلى 34 نقطة وليقتنص صدارة الليجا بشكل مؤقت، وبفارق نقطتين عن ريال مدريد والذي سيلتقي مع جيرونا يوم غدًا الأحد، بينما تجمد رصيد ألافيس عند 15 نقطة في المركز الرابع عشر.

Perfect for Maeda: Celtic pushing to seal deal for "super talented" PL star

da marjack bet: The January transfer window officially opens for business at the start of next month and it remains to be seen how active Celtic will be in the market.

da bet vitoria: Brendan Rodgers made two additions to his first-team squad in the winter window at the start of 2024, signing Nicolas Kuhn on a permanent deal from Rapid Vienna and Adam Idah on loan from Norwich City, before landing the Ireland international on a permanent basis in the summer.

At that point, Celtic had been knocked out of the League Cup and the Champions League, having endured a difficult first half of the campaign, which meant that they had to make moves to bolster their squad.

This time around, however, the Hoops are nine points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, have already won the League Cup, and are in contention to finish in the play-off places in the new-look Champions League format.

Despite Celtic’s impressive form across all competitions so far this season, the Bhoys are reportedly still looking at making at least one signing to come in and add further depth to Rodgers’ options ahead of the second half of the season.

Celtic pushing to sign Premier League star

According to The Telegraph’s Sam Dean, the Hoops are pushing to sign Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney when the January transfer window opens next month.

Transfer Focus

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.

The reporter claims that the Scottish giants are keen to bring the defender back to Parkhead, where he made his breakthrough in senior football.

He adds that they are prepared to battle with Premier League clubs to secure his signature, which means that they will need to convince him to turn down chances to remain in the English top-flight in order to make the move back to Glasgow.

This is backed up by Sky Sports reporter Anthony Joseph, who claims that the Hoops are considering a swoop to sign the Scotland international ahead of the second half of the season.

He reveals, however, that the Premiership champions are exploring multiple options, as they are weighing up whether to sign him on loan in January or on a pre-contract that would see him join on a free transfer next summer.

Joseph adds that Arsenal are prepared to listen to offers for Tierney in the January transfer window and they are not expected to trigger their option to extend his contract by 12 months, which means that he will be a free agent at the end of the 2024/25 campaign.

Celtic must, now, convince the Scotland international to return to Parkhead for a second spell, because he could come in as a fantastic addition to bolster the squad.

Why Celtic should sign Kieran Tierney

The 27-year-old star came up through the youth ranks in Glasgow before he made his way into the first-team and established himself as a key player in his first stint at the club.

Tierney amassed 170 appearances in all competitions for the Scottish giants throughout his time with Celtic, before his move to Arsenal in the summer of 2019.

As you can see in the graphic above, the left-back was sold to the Gunners for £25m after he had won an impressive five Premiership titles at first-team level with the Hoops.

Tierney, who was once dubbed a “super talented” player by Rodgers, showcased his ability to break forward from a full-back position to make an impact in the final third throughout his time with Celtic, as shown by his return of 45 direct goal contributions in 170 matches.

Rodgers should look to bring him back to the club because he could come in to offer more than Greg Taylor in the final third, which may seem a funny thing to say after the ex-Kilmarnock man scored in the League Cup final last weekend.

The current Celtic left-back, however, has scored nine goals and provided 30 assists in 194 appearances for the club in all competitions, which is an average of one goal contribution every 4.95 matches – compared to Tierney’s one every 3.78 outings for the Hoops.

These statistics suggest that the potential is there for the Arsenal outcast to come in and provide a greater threat in the final third from a full-back role, which could make him the perfect partner for Daizen Maeda in the second half of the season.

Why Kieran Tierney is perfect for Daizen Maeda

You know what you are going to get with the Japan international in terms of what he does out of possession, as his pressing and defensive work is sensational.

Rodgers once claimed that the left winger has “the work rate of two players” and hailed the forward’s impressive mentality to constantly close down and harass opposition defenders.

However, the 27-year-old attacker’s use of the ball in the final third lets him down at times. His defensive work is consistently impressive, but his end product at the top end of the pitch is inconsistent at best.

Maeda scored six goals and missed a whopping 12 ‘big chances’ in 28 appearances in the Premiership last season, whilst averaging just 0.5 key passes per game.

The Japanese winger was incredibly wasteful in front of goal and rarely created chances for his teammates from a left wing position, and not too much has changed this time around.

As you can see in the table above, Maeda has offered more creativity for the team but has struggled, once again, as a finisher, with two goals and seven ‘big chances’ missed.

This is why Tierney could be the perfect signing for Maeda, as the Scottish defender can constantly push forward on the overlap so that the winger can play the ball down the line to him.

The Arsenal dynamo can then use his quality in the final third to offer a threat as a scorer and a creator, which could help to make up for the Japan international’s struggles in that area of the game.

Rodgers can forget Ferguson by unleashing his own 24-goal Celtic machine

Nazmul Hassan suggests there may still be room for Mahmudullah in World Cup squad

The BCB president feels Mahmudullah could be competing with three other middle-order batters for one spot

Mahmudullah didn’t feature in either of Bangladesh’s recent ODI series against Ireland•AFP/Getty Images

BCB president Nazmul Hassan has weighed in on Bangladesh’s World Cup squad even as he recognised that the final call would be with chief selector Minhajul Abedin. Hassan spoke about all the positions in the team, in particular the much-talked-about No. 7 spot. Bangladesh have recently tended to pick six bowlers and trust Mehidy Hasan Miraz to bat at No 7 position.Hassan has been known over the years for having a major say in most decisions in Bangladesh cricket. So when he speaks about the World Cup squad, it becomes an important reference point even for the national selectors.Bangladesh are likely to finalise their squad for the World Cup, which is set to be played in India in October-November 2023, when they play the Asia Cup, which is scheduled for September. ODI captain Tamim Iqbal, however, has suggested that the team is unlikely to experiment with too many new faces even during the Afghanistan ODIs in July.Hassan feels Bangladesh have firmed up their top six – Tamim, Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan – leaving four players – including the experienced Mahmudullah, who didn’t feature in either of Bangladesh’s recent series against Ireland – competing for one other possible spot in the squad for a middle-order batter.”If we want to play with five bowlers, we will be playing an extra batter,” Hassan said. “[Yasir Ali] Rabbi is currently in the squad. The likes of Afif [Hossain], Mahmudullah and Mosaddek [Hossain] aren’t in the squad, but they can be picked at any point. We will need an allrounder in case we are playing five bowlers. Ultimately I don’t know what Nannu [Abedin] will do, I am just saying from myself.”There’s no guarantee for anyone who will be in the squad that he will play in the eleven. Afif and Mahmudullah can make it to the team for their batting. Yasir hasn’t done much after returning from injury. Afif and Mosaddek are ahead in bowling, and so is Mahmudullah. Afif is the better fielder among them [followed by] Mosaddek and then [Mahmudullah] Riyad.”Hassan also felt there could be room in the squad for a back-up opener. Mohammad Naim and Anamul Haque Bijoy – who topped this season’s Dhaka Premier League run charts – could be in contention for this spot.”They might pick a back-up opener in case of an injury,” Hassan said. “They are likely to pick three pacers so any three among Hasan Mahmud, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Ebadot Hossain and Mustafizur [Rahman] will play. They are unlikely to play anything less than five bowlers in the World Cup. They may even take four pacers in the line-up. They will also need an extra spinner.”Hassan was positive that the Asia Cup would take place as scheduled, but said he had heard no communication yet regarding whether it would be a multiple-venue tournament or if it would be held in one country. Strained relations between India and Pakistan – who are due to host the tournament – have created an impasse regarding where the tournament will be played. As things stand, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has proposed a hybrid model with the UAE hosting all of India’s matches and Pakistan hosting the remaining games, but Sri Lanka and Bangladesh aren’t in favour of this model.”I haven’t heard anything from the ACC [Asian Cricket Council] regarding the Asia Cup. But it will take place,” Hassan said. “It is hard to say where it will be. I know that there are two options. Firstly, it can be a hybrid model, to be held in Pakistan and UAE. The second one is that it could be held in one country, most likely in Sri Lanka. They offered it to Bangladesh but we refused it as there will be rain at the time.”

Jamie Carragher switches sides when asked to pick Celtic or Rangers

da brwin: Pundit Jamie Carragher has switched sides when asked for his favourite Scottish club out of Celtic and Rangers.

da leao: A Liverpool legend, Carragher made 737 appearances for the Reds across 17 years and has since been a regular for Sky Sports alongside former Manchester United right-back Gary Neville.

As a player, Carragher won numerous domestic cup competitions but never lifted the Premier League title. In Europe, the defender won the UEFA Cup in 2001 and the Champions League in 2005, featuring in the historic final against AC Milan in Istanbul.

Interestingly, the former Reds defender never played against Rangers in his career but did feature on three occasions against Celtic.

In 1997/98, Carragher was an unused substitute in the 2-2 draw at Celtic Park in the UEFA Cup First Round first leg. In the return fixture, Carragher started as the Reds qualified on away goals with a 0-0 draw at Anfield.

When the two sides met again in the UEFA Cup quarter-finals in 2002/03, Carragher played every minute of action as the Hoops famously won 3-1 on aggregate.

Martin O’Neill’s side would go on to reach the final at the Estadio Olimpico in a historic European run before losing to Jose Mourinho’s FC Porto 3-2 in extra time.

Carragher chooses between Celtic and Rangers

Players and managers who aren’t associated with either Celtic or Rangers are often asked who they prefer, and Carragher is no different.

Talking on American network CBS Sports as he covered the Champions League in 2024, Carragher was asked to pick out of Celtic and Rangers by fellow pundit Micah Richards. The former England defender simply said:

However, back in 2020, Carragher was asked the same question on an Instagram Q&A, and replied at the time: “Right now it’s Rangers because of Steven Gerrard but as soon as Steven leaves it’ll be Celtic.”

Steven Gerrard, a long-term teammate of Carragher’s at Anfield, left his role as Rangers manager back in 2021, which has resulted in Carragher swapping back to green and white.

Winning the Scottish Premiership at Ibrox, Gerrard had a successful spell in charge of the Gers but departed for Aston Villa.

His stint in charge at Villa Park wasn’t as positive as he’d have hoped, which led to Gerrard moving to Saudi Arabia with Al-Ettifaq until 2025.
