Soccer-Eustaquio juggles duties with Porto and Canada
By Mohamed Yossry HT Image June 22 - Portuguese club Porto's squad for the Club World Cup includes midfielder Stephen Eustaquio, the captain of Canada, who is also listed in his national team's roster for the ongoing CONCACAF Gold Cup being held in the United States. Having a player represent both his club and national team in two official competitions at the same time is a rare occurrence in football history. Porto began their campaign in the revamped tournament with a goalless draw against Brazil's Palmeiras last Monday in East Rutherford, just one day before Canada's Gold Cup opener in Vancouver. With the Gold Cup jointly hosted by Canada and the U.S., and the Canadian team moving on to Houston, for the rest of their group stage matches, the possibility of Eustaquio joining the squad became realistic, provided Porto's journey in the Club World Cup ends. The flight from East Rutherford to Houston takes about three hours. " allowed by FIFA and CONCACAF," Canada's media office told Reuters. "Eustaquio was named to both rosters a few weeks back, and if fit and able, he will join Canada Soccer's Men's National Team following Porto's conclusion at the Club World Cup," the national team added in an email. The inclusion of the 28-year-old Eustaquio in both squads comes at a time when many players are wary of fatigue at the end of the season. Porto did not respond to Reuters' request for comment. The Portuguese side wraps up the group stage with a match against Egypt's Al Ahly on Monday. It remains unclear whether they will progress to the knockout rounds. Canada, meanwhile, crushed Honduras 6–0, and drew 1-1 with Curacao on Sunday. They conclude the group stage against El Salvador on June 24. Eustaquio came off the bench in the draw against Palmeiras and the 2–1 loss to Lionel Messi's Inter Miami. The Canadian team said: "We want him to do well in the Club World Cup and we also would welcome him back into the men's run at the Gold Cup."

Adames scores twice in Reign's 4-1 win over struggling Royals
Emeri Adames scored two goals in the second half and the Seattle Reign beat the Utah Royals 4-1 in the National Women's Soccer League on Saturday. HT Image It was the first multi-goal game of Adames' career, and at 19 years and 79 days old, she became the second-youngest player to ever score two goals in an NWSL match. Elsewhere in the NWSL on Saturday, Gotham FC beat Bay FC 2-1 at home, the North Carolina Courage won 2-1 at home against the Houston Dash, and the Portland Thorns edged the Chicago Stars 1-0 to stay undefeated at Providence Park. At America First Field in Utah, the Reign jumped out to an early 2-0 lead. Ji So-Yun scored from 14 yards out after a headed pass from Maddie Dahlien in the sixth minute. Ji then returned the favor and played Dahlien through on goal for the Reign's second goal in the 16th. Bianca St-Georges scored for the Royals in the 31st as the Canadian forward tapped in from close range after Ally Sentnor's strike rebounded off the post. Ji got her second assist of the match when she slipped the ball to Adames in the 66th and the youngster found the corner with a swift left-footed shot from 12 yards to make it 3-1. Adames converted a penalty kick in the 90th. She leads Seattle with four goals this season. It was the first time the Reign scored four in a game since May 2023. The Royals extended their winless streak to eight and remain in last place in the NWSL standings as the league heads into a monthlong break. Esther Gonzalez scored her 10th goal of the season and Gotham came from behind to defeat Bay. The Spaniard is the top scorer in the NWSL and has already surpassed her total of nine from the 2024 season. Gotham won its second home match of the season. Penelope Hocking put Bay up 1-0 in the 11th minute. Hocking latched onto a looping pass from Hannah Bebar and poked the ball past Ann-Katrin Berger in the Gotham goal. Gonzalez got Gotham's equalizer in the 29th when she pounced on a loose pass in the box by Alyssa Malonson. Geyse netted the winning goal for Gotham in the 55th. Nealy Martin found the Brazilian with a bending 40-yard long pass out of the defense. It was a second straight loss for Bay . The San Jose-based team has lost all three of its meetings with Gotham since joining the NWSL in 2024. Hannah Betfort scored the winning goal in North Carolina's comeback victory. The Courage are on a two-game winning streak and are up to ninth in the NWSL standings, outside the playoff places on goal difference alone. It was the second consecutive game head coach Sean Nahas missed due to a medical issue, but he was spotted in the stands at WakeMed Soccer Park. The Dash are winless in their last five games. Avery Patterson put Houston ahead 1-0 in the opening minute of the match. The deflected strike from inside the box came after just 52 seconds and was the fastest goal in Dash history. Acting head coach Nathan Thackeray made a triple substitution in the 66th minute, putting Jaedyn Shaw, Ashley Sanchez and Betfort into the game. Dash midfielder Sarah Puntigam was sent off for a second yellow card for a foul on Shaw in the 70th. Shaw scored the equalizer with a simple finish from the center of the box in the 71st. The goal was Shaw's first for the Courage since joining this past offseason. Manaka Matsukubo spotted Betfort in the box and whipped the ball towards the forward, who got just enough of a touch to score the winning goal in the 81st. Pietra Tordin scored the only goal and the Thorns remained undefeated at Providence Park this season. Portland hasn't dropped a game at home in nine straight matches dating back to last year. After a scoreless first half, Sam Coffey crossed the ball to the back post for Tordin to smash home her third goal of the season in the 59th minute. Thorns goalkeeper Bella Bixby recorded a team record 27th NWSL clean sheet, making three saves. The Stars are winless in their last nine games. Two-time World Cup winning U.S. women's national team goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher missed a third consecutive match for Chicago due to an upper extremity injury. soccer: /soccer This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Watch: Comedy Of Errors In Maharashtra Premier League Match, Featuring Chennai Super Kings Star, Leaves Commentators Stunned
Raigad Royals registered a brilliant six-wicket victory over Kolhapur Tuskers in the Eliminator match of Maharashtra Premier League 2025 on Friday in Pune. Opting to bowl first, the Royals restricted Kolhapur to 164/7 in 20 overs with Nikhil Kadam and Tanay Sanghvi taking three and two wickets respectively. Later, the Royals chased down the target with two balls to spare as opener Vicky Ostwal smashed 74 runs off 54 balls. Apart from this brilliant chase, the match also had a bizarre moment which became the highlight of the night. During Raigad's chase, the batter played a simple shot but the fielder did a misfield which prompted the batters to run for a single. As they were coming back for a double, they ended up colliding with each other and fell down on the ground. As the players were lying down, the wicketkeeper got the ball but surpisingly, he threw it towards the bowler. Seeing this, the batter got up and ran towards the non-striker's end and crossed the line before the bowler could dislodge the bails. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Maharashtra Premier League (@mplt20tournament) Seeing such a big blunder, Rahul Tripathi, who is Kolhapur's skipper, intervened, picked the ball and ran towards the striker's end to make another runout attempt. However, as he came closer, he made a direct hit attempt but the ball did not hit the stumps and went across the boundary line for a four. As a result, the Raigad got a total of six runs on that one particular delivery. This fiasco left the commentators stunned as they said, "Listen, there are so many things to dissect in this one!" Talking about the match, Kolhapur scored 164/7 in 20 overs with Ankit Bawne scoring 57 off 50 balls. Apart from him, Siddharth Mhatre hit 31 off 29 balls. Later in the chase, the Raigad Royals were dominating right from the beginning as their opener Vicky Ostwal scored 74 off 54 balls. Siddhesh Veer and Niraj Joshi also scored 39 and 37* runs respectively as the Royals went across the line in 19.4 overs. With this win, Royals are still in the contention for a spot in the final match against Eagle Nashik Titans. They will now take on Puneri Bappa in the Qualifier 2 match on Saturday.
