Germany's Kathrin Hendrich red-carded for hair-pulling in Euro 2025 quarterfinal
BASEL, Switzerland (AP) — A player was sent off at the Women's European Championship for pulling an opponent's hair, six days after a similar incident during the Club World Cup final. The Video Assistant Referee spotted Germany midfielder Kathrin Hendrich yanking the ponytail of France captain Griedge Mbock as a free kick was floated into the area. With less than 13 minutes played, Hendrich was shown a red card and moments later Grace Geyoro converted the resulting penalty to give France a 1-0 lead in Saturday's quarterfinal. It was a somewhat unusual red card but the second such incident in the space of less than a week. Paris Saint-Germain midfielder João Neves was sent off for pulling down Marc Cucurella by his hair, towards the end of Chelsea's 3-0 victory in the trophy match of the Club World Cup last Sunday.

Cellar-dwelling Galaxy take aim at rival LAFC
(Photo credit: Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images) Los Angeles FC will get what has traditionally been one of their tougher tests of the season when they play host to the rival Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday. The Galaxy might be in the middle of one of the worst seasons in franchise history. However, even amid a historic winless streak to open the season, they still managed to forge a 2-2 tie when they met LAFC at home on May 18. That draw came as the defending MLS champion Galaxy were on a run of 16 consecutive matches without a victory, the longest to start a season in MLS history. The Galaxy (3-14-5, 15 points) are 3-2-2 since earning their first win of the season on May 31. They moved out of last place briefly but are back in the basement after a 2-1 home loss to Austin FC on Wednesday. Joseph Paintsil scored the lone goal for the Galaxy, his fourth of the season to put him in a tie for second-most on the team behind Marco Reus (five goals, seven assists). 'Hopefully, (the defeat) is a reminder again that you can't go to LAFC and be in the middle ground intensity-wise,' Galaxy head coach Greg Vanney said. 'You've got to show up with maximum intensity. Everybody knows that and looks forward to this game. They know what's at stake.' LAFC (10-5-5, 35 points) went 0-2-1 at the Club World Cup and did not advance out of group play but are 3-1-0 since. They earned a 1-0 victory on the road against Minnesota United on Wednesday. Denis Bouanga scored on a penalty kick late in the first half for his team-leading 11th goal of the season. He also has seven assists. '(Bouanga) can beat you with physicality, he can beat you with technique, on the dribble or as a pure finisher,' LAFC head coach Steve Cherundolo said. 'For attackers, the season is always up and down, but we try to see the work in between, and for me, it has been very consistent over the past three years.' Playing without defender Aaron Long, who ruptured his left Achilles tendon last week and is done for the season, LAFC still managed to extend their scoreless streak to 340 minutes, going back to a June 29 loss against the Vancouver Whitecaps.

'Noni is an exciting and powerful young player, with his performances and numbers in recent seasons being of consistently high quality,' Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said. 'At just 23, Noni already brings experience of club and international football, and he knows the Premier League very well. Having seen the quality of Noni's performances up close in recent seasons, we're really excited he is joining us.'
