The enormous difference in technical quality between the squads became visible in less than 15 minutes.
After a short corner and then a perfect cross from Piquerez from the left, the defender Murilo appeared as a striker in the box to head firmly and open the score. I

🥇 Sunday's World Cup highlights: generous Messi, Leila ‘Balboa' and Didico
The round of 16 of the World Cup continued this Sunday (29). Another quarter-final duel was defined after PSG and Bayern dispatched Inter Miami and Flamengo, respectively. You can subscribe to DAZN to watch all the FIFA Club World Cup games for free. Advertisement And there were highlights on social media. With Leila Pereira taking the lead and much more. Leila 'Balboa' 🥊 It's impossible to go to Philadelphia and not repeat the steps of Rocky Balboa, the character immortalized by Sylvester Stallone back in 1976, right? That's what Leila Pereira did when she climbed the 72 steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art staircase. Which became the Rocky Steps after a statue of the character was installed there. The president of Palmeiras celebrated the team's qualification to the World Cup quarter-finals in this way. And, of course, there was a photo "next to" Rocky. It got tough, Messi... Lionel Messi had "only" his former club in front of him this Sunday. Advertisement The star faced an "away" game even while playing in the United States. The match was played at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, in Atlanta. The stadium that is home to Atlanta Utd. There was even an unkind banner reminding of Messi's losses against the local rival. Atlanta also defeated Inter Miami 5 x 2 in September 2023. But Messi didn't play. The Argentine, on the other hand, has three victories against the rival. The other match between the teams with Messi on the field ended in a draw. Speaking of Messi... Lionel had a reunion with several former teammates. Dembélé, for example, played with him at Barcelona - he moved to PSG after Messi's departure. Advertisement And he took almost EVERYTHING from the Inter Miami star home. Many joked about the situation: Dembélé also got shirts from two other former Barça teammates: Did Busquets not want to collaborate? It raises the question. Was there a spot for him? Former striker Adriano couldn't contain himself in the final minutes of Flamengo 2 x 4 Bayern. Would it have been different with him there?

Marcus Stroman lit up the Yankees, in the clubhouse and on the mound
Marcus Stroman lit up the Yankees, in the clubhouse and on the mound. Returning from a knee injury that sidelined him for 2 1/2 months, the 34-year-old right-hander resumed his pregame routine of lighting a scented candle in his stall Sunday morning to set the mood. He then allowed one run and three hits over five innings in a 12-5 win over the Athletics. 'It's not the same being on the side. You feel like you're left out,' he said. 'So definitely good to be back with the boys.' Among the shortest major league pitchers at 5-foot-7, Stroman is distinctive. Sunday's candle was Lavandula angustifolia (English lavender). Next to it was a stack of books: Osho's 'The Great Challenge,' Marcus Aurelius' 'Meditations' and Don Miguel Ruiz's 'The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom.' He had not pitched for the Yankees since April 11, when he was chased in a five-run first inning during a 9-1 loss to San Francisco. He got a cortisone shot and slowly worked his way back from left knee inflammation, an injury stemming from a torn ACL in 2015. Stroman takes pride in his grit. He tore his ACL during a spring training fielding drill with Toronto that March 10, started minor league rehab outings on Sept. 2 and returned to a big league mound that Sept. 19. Stroman started the season 0-1 with an 11.57 ERA in three starts. After the injury layoff, he was 0-1 with a 6.97 ERA in three rehab appearances with Double-A Somerset. 'I tore my ACL, made it back in five months, so I don't do doubt,' he said. 'Knew I'd be back at some point. It was just a matter of when.' Not a hard thrower these days, Stroman averaged 89.8 mph with his four-seam fastball. New York needed him for a rotation missing ace Gerrit Cole (Tommy John surgery), AL Rookie of the Year Luis Gil (strained right lat) and left-hander Ryan Yarbrough (strained right oblique). 'I thought he had a presence on both sides of the plate,' manager Aaron Boone said. 'Was a little unpredictable. Used his sinker, used his cutter and then the different kind of breaking balls. But he got after it in the zone when he needed to.' 'Adrenaline is a great drug,' he said, 'so I won't feel it until tomorrow.' ___
