Inter Milan leave it late to beat Urawa Reds
Inter Milan leave it late to beat Urawa Reds Inter Milan's Argentinian forward Valentin Carboni (centre) celebrates scoring his team's second goal. Photo: AFP Valentin Carboni struck the winning goal in stoppage time as Inter Milan came from behind to beat Urawa Red Diamonds 2-1 on Saturday and knock the Japanese team out of the Club World Cup. Ryoma Watanabe got an early opening goal for Urawa Reds, who were backed by a noisy contingent of their supporters at Lumen Field in Seattle. But captain Lautaro Martinez had got Inter's equaliser in their 1-1 draw with Monterrey of Mexico in their first match at the tournament, and he repeated the trick to level matters here with 12 minutes to go. Carboni, the 20-year-old Argentine who had not made an appearance for Inter in more than two years, then appeared in the 92nd minute to give the Italians the victory. "Our opponents play with their hearts and to counter that as a team we need to play with more pride, be humble and know how to suffer," Martinez told broadcaster DAZN after Inter were made to work for the victory. The result leaves Cristian Chivu's team in a good position to now go and qualify for the last 16, while a second defeat in as many matches means Urawa Reds are eliminated. "Our emotion is very bad after this game. We are out of the tournament so now we can only fight in the last game to achieve our one and only win," said their Polish coach Maciej Skorza. Winners of the Asian Champions League in 2023, Urawa Reds were aiming to bounce back from a 3-1 loss against River Plate in their opening game and they went in front in the 11th minute. Takuro Kaneko made the goal with a good run down the right before his low cross was swept home first-time by Watanabe. Martinez hit the crossbar from a header for Inter soon after, and it looked as if the UEFA Champions League runners-up might slip to a shock defeat when Henrikh Mkhitaryan missed the target from a good position in the second half. But they got the leveller in the 78th minute when a Nicolo Barella corner from the left was deftly turned in by Martinez, who scored with an overhead kick as he fell back the way. The stage was then set for Carboni, who had not played a competitive game since early October after suffering a serious knee injury while on loan at Marseille. He was on hand to sidefoot into the net after a Petar Sucic shot hit teammate Francesco Esposito and the ball broke to Carboni inside the area. (AFP)

Lakers to be sold in record US$10 billion deal: ESPN
Lakers to be sold in record US$10 billion deal: ESPN If the Lakers sale materialises, it would make the iconic franchise the highest-valued sports team in US history. File photo: Reuters The Los Angeles Lakers are being sold in a record-breaking US$10 billion deal that makes the iconic franchise the highest-valued sports team in US history, according to ESPN reports. The report said the team's owners, the Buss family, would sell their controlling interest to billionaire Mark Walter, who already owns a minority stake in the franchise. While Jeanie Buss would continue as Lakers governor, the deal ends the Buss family's 46-year reign over the NBA giants. Walter is the chief executive of holding company TWG Global which has built an impressive portfolio of professional sports teams, including the Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Sparks. He is also part of the ownership group of English Premier League side Chelsea. TWG also owns the Billie Jean King Cup tennis tournament and the Cadillac Formula One team. While further specifics of the deal were not disclosed, Lakers legend Earvin "Magic" Johnson – a business partner of Walter – was among the first to react to news of the agreement. "Laker fans should be ecstatic," Johnson wrote on X. "A few things I can tell you about Mark – he is driven by winning, excellence, and doing everything the right way," he added. "And he will put in the resources needed to win! I can understand why Jeanie sold the team to Mark Walter because they are just alike." Johnson cited Walter's ownership of the Dodgers baseball team as a reason for optimism. The Dodgers have won the World Series twice since Walter's ownership group took over the club, and in recent years have adopted an aggressive recruitment strategy that has seen them sign some of the sport's best talent, including Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani. Walter has been a minority owner of the Lakers since 2021 when he bought a share in a deal which also gave him first refusal to purchase the club should the Buss family ever decide to sell. The sale of the club smashes the previous highest figure paid for a US sports team, the US$6.1 billion paid for the Boston Celtics earlier this year. That Celtics sale eclipsed the US$6.05 billion that Josh Harris paid for the Washington Commanders in 2023. (AFP)
