River Plate, Monterrey play to a lively scoreless draw in Club World Cup

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — River Plate and Monterrey played to a lively 0-0 draw on Saturday night in the second round of group play at the Club World Cup.
River Plate had 18 shot attempts, but the Argentine powerhouse got none of its six shots on goal past Monterrey goalkeeper Esteban Andrada, a native of Argentina.
Monterrey got two of its three shot attempts on net, but Franco Armani also kept a clean sheet for River Plate.
The teams traded 40 combined fouls and eight yellow cards throughout a chippy match at the Rose Bowl before a raucous crowd of 57,393, with both teams benefitting from large supporter sections on each end of the famed stadium.
River Plate had the first half's best scoring chances shortly before halftime, but Giuliano Galoppo's unobstructed shot from the penalty area curled over Monterrey's net before Lucas Martínez Quarta brutally shanked a point-blank volley moments later.
Monterrey opened Club World Cup play four days earlier with an impressive draw against Champions League finalist Inter Milan.
River Plate also looked sharp in a 3-1 victory over Urawa Red Diamonds in its opener in Seattle.

Create Account Holloway defeated Dustin Poirier in a unanimous decision to retain the UFC BMF Championship in UFC 318 at the Smoothie King Center. The win for Holloway is the first in three fights against Poirier, who beat him in 2012 and 2019. Holloway (28-8) retained his BMF title after landing 98 more strikes (201-109) and landing 53% of his significant strikes. Fighting against a partisan Louisiana crowd for the native son Poirier in his retirement match, Holloway was the quicker fighter for the entire match, knocking Poirier off his feet early in the first round. In the second, another flurry of combinations put Poirier on the mat again, followed by two minutes of dominant grappling. 'I'm pretty happy,' Holloway said. Poirier can still hit hard, he said. 'but he kept coming back and back. I came in and I knew I was going to try and be the spoiler and the villain.' Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

Poirier's best chance came in the last 30 seconds of the second round, getting Holloway on the ground with a chokehold and several ground punches before the round ended. The loss ends a brilliant career for Poirier, who finishes his career with a 30-10 record. Poirier, the UFC Lightweight Interim Champion in 2019, also defeated the likes of Conor McGregor twice in addition to victories over Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler. 'Obviously I wanted to win, but being inside the eye of the storm I thought the fight was a lot closer,' Poirier said. 'I thought I had him out in the second round, we couldn't hear the bell. The fight just felt a lot closer. It is what it is though. 'Going into the fifth round I thought it was close. I feel like I could have maybe put myself in harm's way more. I could have taken more chances, but I didn't want to take too many risks. I thought I fought smart. I tried to win.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

England's Jess Carter reveals racial abuse at Euro 2025, FA has contacted police

ZURICH (AP) — England defender Jess Carter says she has been subject to racial abuse online at the Women's European Championship. Carter came in for a lot of criticism for her performance during England's opening loss to France. And some of that has crossed the line even as the 27-year-old and the Lionesses have reached the semifinals at Euro 2025. 'From the start of the tournament I have experienced a lot of racial abuse,' Carter wrote in an emotional post on Instagram on Sunday. 'Whilst I feel every fan is entitled to their opinion on performance and result I don't agree or think it's ok to target someone's appearance or race.' Carter, who has made 49 appearances for England and plays for Gotham FC, says she will be taking a step back from social media. 'As ever I am grateful for all of the support from the genuine fans but I am taking this measure to protect myself in a bid to keep my focus on helping the team anyway I can,' she added. The Football Association has contacted police back in the United Kingdom. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter.

England plays Italy in the semifinals on Tuesday in Geneva, after a dramatic comeback against Sweden last week saw the Lionesses win a chaotic penalty shootout. ___ AP soccer:
