Paulinho scores in extra time to give Palmeiras a 1-0 win over Botafogo at the Club World Cup
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Paulinho worked his way between a pair of defenders and rolled a shot into the back of the net in extra time Saturday to put Palmeiras into the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup with a 1-0 victory over Brazilian league rival Botafogo.
Paulinho, who has made one appearance for Brazil's national team, dribbled through the defense with an inside cut from the right wing in the 100th minute. He then sent a left-footed shot into the lower left corner of John's net.
Botafogo created multiple chances for an equalizer in the final minutes but couldn't get a goal.
The match at Lincoln Financial Field was full of attacking soccer with a combined 35 shot attempts. Palmeiras, however, ended the match with 10 men after defender Gustavo Gómez was given a red card.
Gómez received a second yellow card in the 116th minute after tackling Igor Jesus in midfield to prevent Botafogo from starting a counterattack.
The 33,657 fans in attendance helped set the tone for the match with incessant cheering, bringing the flavor of a South American game to the United States.

Daren Sammy fined for criticizing TV umpire during first test
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (AP) — West Indies coach Daren Sammy has been fined 15% of his match fee after publicly criticizing TV umpire Adrian Holdstock during the first test against Australia in Barbados. The sanction followed Sammy's post-play press conference on day two, where he called for consistency in Decision Review System (DRS) rulings after a series of contentious calls at Kensington Oval. Sammy expressed frustration that his side were on the 'sharp end of the stick' for two caught behind decisions that had been referred to Holdstock which saw Australia batter Travis Head given not out, while West Indies wicketkeeper batter Shai Hop was adjudicated out. The West Indies coach also referenced two contrasting lbw referrals involving the host's skipper Roston Chase and Australia's Cameron Green. 'When there's doubt in something, just be consistent across the board,' he said. 'From the images that we're seeing, the decisions are not fair enough for both teams… I just want fairness.' The 41-year-old, in his first test as West Indies' test team coach, pleaded guilty to breaching the ICC's code of conduct for 'public criticism of, or inappropriate comment' toward a match official. Fast bowler Jayden Seales was also fined 15% of his fee for his send-off to Australian skipper Pat Cummins on day one. Australia won the first test by 159 runs to take a 1-0 series lead. The second test begins Thursday in Grenada. ___ AP cricket:

HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — With Joey Logano in the lead, the NASCAR Cup Series at Atlanta resumed following a rain delay Saturday night. After winning the pole, Logano led the first 36 laps before light rain forced the first caution. Drivers remained on the track before being sent to pit road on Lap 43. The race resumed following a delay of about 15 minutes. The Atlanta race at EchoPark Speedway, formerly known as Atlanta Motor Speedway, is the debut of the 32-driver In-Season Challenge, a five-race, bracket-style tournament. The 32 drivers in the In-Season Challenge had yellow banners on their windshield. Denny Hamlin is the No. 1 seed in the tournament. Chase Briscoe, who held off Hamlin for his first win for Joe Gibbs Racing last week at Pocono Raceway, is the No. 2 seed. A $1 million prize awaits the winner as part of a new media rights deal that includes TNT. Led by Logano on the pole, each of Team Penske's three drivers started on the first two rows.

American midfielder Johnny Cardoso uncertain for CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinal against Costa Rica
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — American midfielder Johnny Cardoso is uncertain for Sunday's CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinal against Costa Rica because of an ankle injury. The 23-year-old started friendlies against Turkey and Switzerland this month, didn't dress for the Americans' tournament opener against Trinidad and Tobago and made late-game substitute appearances in group stage games against Saudi Arabia on June 19 and Haiti last Sunday. 'We need to assess,' coach Mauricio Pochettino said Saturday. 'Today, he didn't participate with the team. He suffered a little issue in his ankle, and we'll see tomorrow if he can be on the bench or not.' The winner of Sunday's game plays Canada or Guatemala on Wednesday in St. Louis.
