Although the first scoring chance was São Bernardo's, when lateral Hugo Sanches (2') unleashed a bomb for Weverton's defense, Verdão opened the scoring in a masterful way.
After Weverton's long pass, Flaco López gave a header, and Estêvão (15') unleashed a left-footed rocket from outside the area, into the corner. The ball hit the post before dying in the back of the net.

After the interval, after being stopped by goalkeeper Alex Alves, Flaco López scored the third goal.
Richard Ríos - the new alviverde number 8 - crossed perfectly from the right, São Bernardo's goalkeeper failed miserably in trying to cut the cross, and Flaco López (57') didn't even need to get off the ground to head the ball into the empty goal.

Estêvão's hat-trick (64') almost came after dribbling Alex Alves, but the goal was disallowed due to the young star's offside position.With the qualification, Palmeiras - the owner of the second-best campaign in Paulistão - will face the team with the 3rd best campaign in the semifinals, which is also a single game.
Besides the State Championship, Verdão is already thinking about the Brasileirão.
The debut will be on March 29, against Botafogo, at home.

ENG vs IND 1st Test: India posts highest away first innings total in over five years, best in England since 2007

Team India posted a mammoth 471 in their first innings at Headingley in the ongoing ENG vs IND 1st Test, registering their highest first innings total in an away Test since January 2019. That previous high came when India piled up 622/7 declared in the New Year's Test against Australia at the SCG, featuring centuries from Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant. This is also India's best first-innings effort in England in nearly 17 years. The last time they surpassed this mark was during the iconic 664-run innings at The Oval in 2007, powered by Anil Kumble's only Test century and valuable contributions from the top order. Advertisement India's 471 at Headingley came on the back of three standout centuries: Shubman Gill (147) Rishabh Pant (134) Yashasvi Jaiswal (101) This is also only the second time India has had three centurions in a Test innings on English soil, the previous being at The Oval in 2007. Despite the collapse after 430/3, the 471-run total stands as a statement of India's batting dominance, marking a historic return to first-innings consistency in overseas Tests — a feat that has eluded them in recent years.

Bayern Munich join race to sign Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Gittens

Kicker reports that Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are getting serious about acquiring young English talent Jamie Gittens. Chelsea have also set their sights on the Borussia Dortmund professional, but the English and German club remain far apart in negotiations over the transfer fee. Bayern board-member-for-sport Max Eberl has left the Club World Cup and returned to Germany in order to take a more active role in shoring up his club's summer purchases. The German publication has plenty of news to offer up on other candidates Eberl and the FCB front office are considering. Advertisement Kicker notes that FCB moves for Nico Williams (Athletic Bilbao), Rafael Leo (AC Milan), and Cody Gakpo (Liverpool are appearing less likely to join the German giants. Williams is reported to prefer a move to FC Barcelona. Gakpo – with a price tag of €70m – is considered a disproportionate investment. Leo could still head to Bavaria, with former Serie A defender Kim Min-jae serving as a bargaining chip in a potential swap deal. Other players such as Bradley Barcola of Paris St. Germain and Kaoru Mitoma of Brighton & Hove Albion, are no longer serious targets for Eberl and his staff. Kicker cites its own sources to claim that Eberl has already held talks with Gittens' entourage. Given that Dortmund held firm against Chelsea's pursuit of the 20-year-old, organizing a transfer sham, not prove easy. Even a fourth Chelsea bid totaling some €55m was said to be rejected by BVB.

What is a 'Chanticleer'? Coastal Carolina's mascot and nickname, explained

Coastal Carolina is back in the men's College World Series, with the Chanticleers facing the LSU Tigers and hoping to win their first national title in baseball since 2016 (and maybe they're getting some support from an Outer Banks actress). But if you're here, you might be wondering about something in the paragraph above: just what the heck is a Chanticleer? If you've never heard of that, you'd understandably be confused. Luckily, we've got you covered. A Chanticleer is a rooster, and the name came from Geoffrey Chaucer's classic Canterbury Tales. But there's a story about how Coastal Carolina ended up with a name like that: How did Coastal Carolina get the name Chanticleers? From CCU's site: In the early 1960s, Coastal's athletic teams were known as the Trojans. A group of Coastal students and their English professor-basketball coach Cal Maddox brought up the idea of a new mascot. At the time, with Coastal serving as a two-year branch campus of the University of South Carolina, many people began to push for a nickname that was more closely related to USC's Gamecock. Thus, Chanticleer was born, giving Coastal its own identity and one of the most unique mascots in college athletics. What's the pronunciation of Chanticleer? It's not CHANT-IH-CLEAR. It's SHON-TI-CLEAR. What's Coastal Carolina's mascot? That would be Chauncey.
