Ederson makes HOWLER for Man City during Club World Cup clash with Juventus - gifting Teun Koopmeiners a simple equaliser on the same day he commits his future to the club
A howler from goalkeeper Ederson cost Manchester City the lead during their Club World Cup group stage game against Juventus.
On the same day that the Brazilian took to social media to quash rumours of his impending departure, City's long-tenured goalkeeper had a moment to forget.
Just over 10 minutes into the match in Orlando, Ederson's pass while trying to play out from the back was intercepted on the edge of the box by midfielder Teun Koopmeiners.
The Dutchman then made City pay, coasting into the area before firing past Ederson to equalise for the Serie A club.
Earlier on Thursday, Ederson said that 'his future is here' in response to reports linking him with a move to Saudi Arabia.
'My friends sent me some videos,' he said. '99% is fake news.'
Manchester City were looking to end the group stages on a high after already beating Wydad AC and Al Ain at the Club World Cup.
Early in their clash with Juventus, they took the lead through winger Jeremy Doku.

Players' union accuse Gianni Infantino of overseeing 'MASSACRE' of player welfare from his 'ivory tower' as they launch scathing attack at Club World Cup
French players' union the UNFP has criticised the Club World Cup, with FIFA president Gianni Infantino accused of overseeing a 'massacre' of player welfare. The UNFP claimed that Infantino, watching on from his 'ivory tower', isn't concerned about the impact that the extra games will have on the physical and mental health of players. As reported by the Associated Press, the UNFP said in a statement: 'The incongruity of the situation is not lost on anyone, except, of course, Gianni Infantino and his flatterers. From the height of his ivory tower, which he parades around the world, the FIFA president is not bothered by the fate that the international calendar reserves for the game's leading players. 'His (Infantino's) Club World Cup proves, to the point of absurdity, that it is urgent to stop this massacre game. He flouts the physical and mental health of players for a few more dollars.' Infantino has received much criticism regarding the Club World Cup, with this year's edition expanded to include 32 teams. There have been widespread concerns about the impact that involvement in the tournament will have on players. The comments from UNFP follow on from former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp's criticisms of the Club World Cup. Klopp, who now works as the head of global soccer for Red Bull, described the tournament as 'the worst idea ever in football'. Speaking to German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, he said: 'The Club World Cup is the worst idea ever implemented in football. 'People who have never had anything to do with day-to-day business are coming up with ideas. 'I fear that next season players will suffer injuries they've never had before. If not, then it'll happen at the World Cup or afterwards.' Many of the leading clubs in world football, such as Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, are taking part in the competition, with concerns being raised about how players will be affected in the long term given their lack of rest this summer.

NFL quarterback has to be held back by security after getting into ugly fight while coaching youth football game
Las Vegas Raiders starting quarterback Geno Smith had to be held back by security during an ugly fight while coaching a youth football game this weekend in Florida. Smith, who is coaching the South Florida Express, a national-championship 7-on-7 football team, in his time away from the NFL, got heated on the sidelines during Saturday night's game. The game, which aired live on NFL Network due to having several blue-chip recruits playing, took place at a local high school against Raw Miami. The Express won the game 38-21 but the lasting image was Smith's sideline confrontation. Smith was shouting at someone off camera, with security not letting the Raiders starter get physical. 'That's why they pay me the big bucks, that's why I get paid the big bucks,' Smith shouted. 'That's why they bring the big bucks to me, that's why they pay me the big bucks. That's why they pay me the big bucks! Smith signed a 2-year, $75million contract with the Raiders. It's safe to say that counts as big bucks. Geno Smith was not the only gridiron star to be at the 7-on-7 clash, with Ohio State phenom Jeremiah Smith also at the game. Jeremiah played for the South Florida Express before becoming arguably the best player in college football. Geno is now the starter for the Raiders, who was courted to Las Vegas by Tom Brady and Pete Carroll. He'll have massive expectations on him competing in the AFC West, a division with fellow starting quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert. It's clear Smith is as confident as ever, with training camp starting next month.

Flamengo v Bayern Munich: Club World Cup, last 16
Update: Date: 2025-06-29T19:00:00.000Z Title: Preamble Content: Hello and welcome to live coverage of Flamengo v Bayern Munich in Miami Gardens. When the Club World Cup draw was made, these two looked set to meet in the last 16 – but it was supposed to be Bayern who topped their group, not Flamengo. We should have known, based on the simple face that tournament wallcharts never, ever, ever play out as expected. Flamengo's 3-1 win over Chelsea ultimately earned them top spot in Group D, while Bayern – who had already qualified for the knockout stage – slipped to second after losing their final Group C game against Benfica. Tonight's winners will face Paris Saint-Germain, who plugged Inter Miami 4-0 earlier today. Kick off 9pm GMT, 4pm in Miami.
