From 0-4 to 5-4: comeback of the season in the Conference League 🤯🔥
The Conference League is already offering us crazy matches. While most European clubs have just resumed training, others are already playing key matches for their season. This was particularly the case for HJK Helsinki (Finland) and NSI Runavik (Faroe Islands), who faced each other in the first qualifying round of the Conference League. Beaten 4-0 in the first leg by the Faroese, after being reduced to 10 men from the 23rd minute, the Finns will achieve the unthinkable in the return match. Perfectly launched thanks to the red card received by their opponent in the 15th minute, Helsinki will push until leading 3-0 in the 79th minute of play. However, this is not enough and Helsinki then thinks they are heading for the exit. But in the 94th minute, Georgios Anzoulas will emerge to allow his team to snatch extra time. From the start of extra time, HJK finds the gap again thanks to a goal from Santeri Hostikka on a free kick and thus qualifies. Final score on aggregate, 5-4 for Helsinki who signs a crazy feat and advances to the next round. The disappointment is terrible for Runavik and their goalkeeper, who (despite a hand fault on the third goal) stopped 14 attempts after suffering 57 shots, including 20 on target during this return match.

What are the low-blow rules in boxing?
A low blow is when a boxer hits their opponent below the belt line, which is not allowed. The belt line is defined by each boxer's hip line and is identified before a fight by the referee. The hip line indicates where a boxer wears their belt, and a hit there is considered legal. The rules state that if the low blow is intentional, the boxer who has been hit must continue before a reasonable time (five minutes) has passed, unless the referee disqualifies the offender. A boxer who has been hit by an accidental low blow must continue within five minutes or they will lose the bout by abandonment. If the boxer on the receiving end does not complain and the low blow was not hard or intentional, the referee should signal the foul without interrupting the bout. The referee can deduct points or disqualify a boxer who hits their opponent with a low blow. Earlier this year, Adam Azim was deducted two points for low blows in his win over Sergey Lipinets. What happened in Usyk vs Dubois? Daniel Dubois floored Oleksandr Usyk in the fifth round of their first encounter in 2023. But it was deemed a low blow by the referee and Usyk was given almost four minutes to recover. Dubois was not deducted a point, Usyk regained control and won by knockout in the ninth round. "I should be a world champion right now. It wasn't justice," Dubois told BBC Sport after the fight in Poland. Dubois and Usyk will face each other again at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, 19 July.
