Needing a win to clinch a postseason berth, the Red Sox battled back from a 3-1 deficit on Friday night to walk off the Tigers 4-3 at Fenway Park. Ceddanne Rafaela played hero, mashing a triple off the wall in center field in the ninth to bring home Romy Gonzalez and punch Boston's ticket to the playoffs.

Four of the six playoff spots are decided in the American League now that the Blue Jays, Mariners, Yankees and Red Sox have all clinched. The two remaining playoff spots will be decided in the final two days of the regular season as the Tigers, Guardians and Astros jockey for position.

The Tigers, who held a 10.5-game lead in the AL Central at the beginning of September, could have clinched a playoff berth Friday night with a win combined with an Astros loss. The good news for Detroit? The Guardians also lost, falling 7-3 to the Rangers, as did Houston in a 4-3 loss to the Angels.

Despite the loss, Cleveland, which owns the tiebreaker over Detroit, still sits in first place in the AL Central with an 86-74 record. The Guardians can clinch a division title Saturday night with a win over the Rangers combined with a Tigers loss.

The Tigers and Guardians can both clinch a playoff spot Saturday night with a win another loss by Houston to the Angels.

Elsewhere in the American League, the Mariners lost 3-2 to the Dodgers on Friday night. That means the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage in the playoffs belongs to the AL East champion—either the Blue Jays or Yankees, who remain tied with identical 92-68 records.

Com isso, a equipe treinada por António Oliveira terá longo tempo livre nas próximas semanas, pois não irá disputar o mata-mata do Estadual. Apenas na quinta-feira (14), enfrenta o São Bernardo pela Copa do Brasil, em jogo único eliminatório.

Para ocupar a lacuna de calendário, a diretoria do Corinthians planeja realizar uma “intertemporada”, com partidas amistosas e de exposição para torcedores que não moram em São Paulo.

Dentro dos planos estão dois jogos fora da capital paulista, para prestigiar corintianos que moram em outras regiões do país. Também são cogitados amistosos fora do Brasil, contra times da MLS (EUA) e Arábia Saudita.

Tudo dependerá do aceite de António Oliveira e sua comissão técnica. A intenção é disponibilizar maior entrosamento, tempo de jogo e familiaridade do elenco com as ideias do treinador português. Caso fique tudo combinado, as definições devem acontecer durante a Data Fifa, de 18 a 26 de março.

Newcastle United are pushing to sign a “complete” centre-back, with the Magpies believed to be ahead of Liverpool in the race to snap him up.

Newcastle preparing for Benfica clash

Eddie Howe’s side’s hit-and-miss start to the 2025/26 season continued on Saturday, with Brighton winning 2-1 at the Amex Stadium in the Premier League.

Attention now turns to Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Benfica at St James’ Park, with the Magpies coming up against Jose Mourinho, who has recently taken charge of the Primeira Liga side.

Speaking ahead of the game, Mourinho made it clear that the home crowd could have a big impact on the result, warning his side that it will be a tough night.

“Tough. They’re a tough team, very physical, with great intensity in midfield, and we’re not. They have a very strong team, giants who are very strong at set pieces. At St James’ Park, the fans play.”

For Newcastle, it is an important night, as they look to bolster their chances of reaching the Champions League knockout stage, which in part will help entice top-quality players to the club in the future.

Newcastle eyeing move for "complete" £43m ace

According to Caught Offside, Newcastle have a better chance of signing Club Brugge centre-back Joel Ordonez than Liverpool, with Aston Villa also in the mix to acquire his signature.

The Ecuadorian is thought to be valued at £43m by his current club, with the Reds looking at Magpies ace Sven Botman as an alternative, creating a similar situtation to the one with Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike this summer.

Ordonez is a highly impressive young defender who is already a key man for club and country at the age of just 21, so it is understandable why Newcastle want to sign him.

In fact, the Brugge star has been part of an incredible Ecuador defence that has conceded just five goals in 18 matches in 2026 World Cup qualifying, helping them sit second in the table behind Argentina.

Ordonez may feel that he has already outgrown Brugge, even at his tender age, and he should be viewed as a fantastic option, with scout Jacek Kulig describing him as a “complete” defender in the recent past.

Newcastle can forget Elanga by unleashing 19-year-old "star in the making"

Eddie Howe could have a surprise Anthony Elanga replacement up his sleeve in this exciting 19-year-old talent.

ByKelan Sarson Oct 20, 2025

With Fabian Schar and Dan Burn now well into their 30s, long-term replacements need to be found, and in Ordonez, Newcastle have a player with such a high ceiling, and someone who should be viewed as one of their best options available.

Aston Villa were steadily getting back to their best across October.

Indeed, five straight wins had been collected by Unai Emery’s men, with three of those victories falling in October, before a trip to Dutch outfit Go Ahead Eagles fell on the calendar in the Europa League.

Yet, even with Evann Guessand netting after just four minutes had been played, the Eredivisie hosts would collect a surprise 2-1 win come full-time, as Emery and Co. cursed their luck away from Villa Park.

On another night, Villa might well have at least collected a share of the points. Unfortunately, though, Emiliano Buendia noticeably underperformed throughout, with a second-half missed penalty from the ex-Norwich City midfielder only further confirming that it was the hosts’ lucky day.

Buendia's poor showing against Go Ahead Eagles

Before his Europa League hiccup, Buendia had very much shown Emery why he was deserving of more consistent first-team minutes.

It was widely reported this summer that Buendia was on the brink of a move away from the West Midlands, with his future at the club still remaining uncertain if Villa need to cash in on an asset here and there to satisfy PSR troubles.

Despite all this distracting chatter, Buendia had managed to let his football do the talking as of late, with a standout haul of three goals and an assist from 11 appearances.

However, his poor day at the office in the Netherlands does have the potential to trouble his concrete starting position.

The out-of-sorts number ten would spurn another big chance away from missing that vital spot-kick, with Buendia also uncharacteristically sloppy with the ball at his feet, with possession surrendered a worrying 17 times.

Off the back of this individual showing, leaving a sour taste in Emery’s mouth, the Spaniard could look to alternate options in the number ten spot when Premier League action returns, with Morgan Rogers an easy fix here.

He might not be afforded a spot down the left wing, either, with Guessand scoring from this spot on the pitch against Melvin Boel’s hosts, as the ex-OGC Nice forward was in the right place, at the right time, to poke home a rebound.

Emery will want all of his attackers to be as instinctive as the Ivorian when Manchester City come to town next, with this other notable Villa first-teamer fearful of his starting spot subsequently, after another quiet game passed him by mid-week.

Emery must axe Villa star who is "off it"

The former Arsenal boss isn’t blessed with plentiful options in the centre-forward department anymore, with super sub Jhon Duran now plying his trade in the Saudi Pro League, after once being seen as an ideal second-in-command figure.

This has ramped up the pressure on Ollie Watkins’ shoulders, arguably, with his forgettable season so far displaying a striker in clear decline, with talkSPORT’s Troy Deeney even calling out the England international as being way “off it” back in September, when his goal output had already begun to disastrously dry up.

Since this scathing assessment from the former Watford centre-forward, Watkins has only gone on to pick up an unsatisfactory one strike for the Villans from 12 matches, with Emery clearly losing patience with his usual reliable starter when benching him last time out in the Premier League against Tottenham Hotspur.

Villa didn’t look lost without their 88-goal man leading the line, either, with ex-Borussia Dortmund man Donyell Malen filling in as the main marksman somewhat competently, as the likes of the aforementioned Rogers and Buendia stole the show with goals from the midfield areas.

Watkins didn’t exactly bang the door down to reclaim his top-flight starting spot with his shoddy showing against Go Ahead Eagles, with what should have been a confidence-boosting night only sapping the 29-year-old’s belief even more, as three shots failed to find the back of the net from his minimal 17 touches of the ball.

Guessand might even be the face that Emery chooses to start up top against Pep Guardiola’s challengers, if he wants to experiment away from a goalless Malen, with eight goals actually collected by the versatile Ivorian from this position for Nice, as Watkins fears another spot warming the bench is going to come his way later today.

£868m release clause: Aston Villa now willing to bid for "world-class" star

The Villans are prepared to make an offer for a new forward, who is now looking to leave his club.

أعلن الاتحاد الأوروبي لكرة القدم “يويفا”، عن الفائز بجائزة رجل مباراة ليفربول وإنتر ميلان في دوري أبطال أوروبا.

والتقى ليفربول وإنتر ميلان على ملعب “جوزيبي مياتزا” ضمن مباريات الجولة السادسة لمرحلة الدوري في دوري الأبطال.

وتمكن ليفربول من تحقيق الفوز على حساب إنتر ميلان بهدف دون مقابل، من ضربة جزاء سجلها دومينيك سوبوسلاي في الدقيقة 88.

وحصل على جائزة رجل مباراة ليفربول وإنتر ميلان، ريان جرافينبرخ لاعب الريدز، بعد أدائه خلال المواجهة.

وقالت مجموعة المراقبين الفنيين في الاتحاد الأوروبي لكرة القدم: “كان تمركزه الدفاعي منضبطًا وذكيًا للغاية، غطى وحمى المساحات حول وأمام قلبي الدفاع، أثناء الاستحواذ على الكرة، بدأ الهجمات باللعب في وضعية نصف الدوران والتمرير للأمام عبر الخطوط في المناطق الضيقة”.

ورفع ليفربول رصيده إلى النقطة 12 في المركز الثامن بترتيب دوري أبطال أوروبا، وتجمد رصيد إنتر ميلان عند 12 نقطة أيضًا ويتواجد في المركز الخامس.

When Tarik Skubal toes the rubber, you rarely see the ball leave the park.

Heading into his start Thursday against the Twins, he had given up just 12 homers through 145 1/3 innings pitched this year. And each long ball was delivered by a right-handed batter. That was the case until Twins infielder Edouard Julien stepped up to the plate in the bottom of the third inning at Target Field.

On just his third homer of the year—a no-doubter to right field—Julien became the first lefty batter to leave the park against Skubal this season.

In 23 starts this year, last season's AL Cy Young Award winner has an 11-3 record and a 2.35 ERA while retiring 187 batters on strikes. He's right near the top of the league in punch outs alongside Zack Wheeler (189) and Garrett Crochet (188). Heading into Thursday's start, only Paul Skenes had a better ERA at 2.13.

Last season, when Skubal won the Cy Young Award, he gave up just one home run to a left-handed batter and 14 against righties. As one of the best pitchers in baseball, a slip against a lefty only happens once in a blue moon. Julien should remember this one for a long time.

A briga entre a dupla Flamengo e Fluminense e o Vasco da Gama pelo controle do Maracanã chega ao fim nesta quarta-feira (8).

Segundo informações do portal “ge”, a dupla Fla-Flu já é a virtual vencedora da disputa. Com 117 pontos na proposta técnica, o consórcio de Flamengo e Fluminense não pode mais ser alcançado pelo concorrente. Vasco e WTorre até conseguiram aumentar sua pontuação de 81 para 85 na terça-feira (7), mas não foi o suficiente para brigar com os rivais.

No entanto, apesar dos envelopes serem abertos nesta quarta, o vencedor da disputa pela concessão do estádio pode não ser confirmado ainda. Isso porque o processo prevê um prazo para possíveis recursos e impugnações, o que pode adiar o anúncio oficial do consórcio que irá gerir o Maracanã pelos próximos 20 anos. Também de acordo com o “ge”, o Maracanã Para Todos tentou o adiamento da cerimônia na Justiça, mas não teve sucesso; a expectativa é de que Vasco e WTorre não reconheçam a derrota no envento.

Na abertura das propostas financeiras, a maior oferta ganha 125 pontos, enquanto a segunda leva 115, com peso de 40%; os outros 60% são da proposta técnica. Desta forma, não há mais chances de Flamengo e Fluminense serem ultrapassados pela dupla concorrente.

After missing nearly four months, the Astros will gain designated hitter Yordan Alvarez back in the lineup on Tuesday vs. the Rockies, the reported. He last played on May 2.

What was supposed to be a short stint on the injured list turned into something much more for Alvarez. He suffered a "very small" right hand fracture instead of just a strain. After about two months of recovery, Alvarez faced a setback in his process, which has prolonged his return.

Alvarez returned to baseball a week ago when he began a rehab assignment at the Double A Corpus Christi Hooks. He went 7-for-15 in four games with the minor league team.

Before landing on the IL, the three-time All-Star was averaging .210/.306/.340 with three home runs and 18 RBIs in 29 games.

The Astros are gaining their designated hitter back at a crucial time in the season as Houston holds a 1.5-game lead above the Mariners in the AL West. The Astros have 31 games left in the regular season to compete for a playoff spot.

Nottingham Forest are on the lookout for solidity under Sean Dyche and could now be set to make an intriguing move courtesy of owner Evangelos Marinakis.

The Tricky Trees had a fairly ominous start to the Premier League campaign that culminated in the departure of Nuno Espirito Santo, which was followed by Ange Postecoglou’s short tenure at the City Ground that ended under acrimonious circumstances.

Now, Dyche is the man at the helm and there is a feeling that improvement is starting to take shape on the River Trent, characterised in clear fashion by their convincing victory over Leeds United before the international break.

Ultimately, Forest are still in the relegation zone and have their work cut out to ensure they survive in the top-flight this campaign, though the fact that players such as Elliot Anderson are earning rave reviews from Thomas Tuchel is a reason for some optimism in the East Midlands.

Paying tribute to the Three Lions midfielder, the England coach labelled him as ‘one of the best midfielders in the Premier League’ before a routine victory in World Cup qualifying over Serbia, emphasising the value of his services that the Tricky Trees have at their disposal.

Even then, a tricky fixture at Anfield awaits for Forest on the other side of the international break before a quickfire double header against Malmö and Brighton, requiring squad rotation to make sure Dyche has fresh options to choose from.

Stability is something that hasn’t always been easy to come by at the City Ground, and club owner Marinakis doesn’t wait around when it is time to make a decision, something he could again demonstrate in January.

Nottingham Forest set for intriguing Christos Mouzakitis pursuit

According to Tuttosport, Nottingham Forest are among a clutch of clubs that are keen on Olympiacos star Christos Mouzakitis, who is also wanted by Arsenal, Manchester United, Aston Villa, AC Milan and Napoli.

Intriguingly, the Greek giants are owned by Marinakis, and he is said to be the one who will have the final say on his next destination amid their £30 million asking price for the 18-year-old midfielder.

Mouzakitis is described by Tuttosport as a player who’s ‘already one of the greatest talents in Greek football history’, with a clutch of Premier League sides taking notuce.

However, Forest may well have an edge given their close ties to the teenager via their owner.

Known to idolise AC Milan veteran Luka Modrić, Mouzakitis is a recipient of the TuttoSport Goldenboy Web Award and has registered two assists in 13 appearances this season across all competitions.

Nevertheless, he is under contract until 2029, and Olympiacos will hold the cards should a bidding war start to take place for his services, making it a tough ask for any suitors to land their man for anything less than a premium.

Either way, Marinakis could be the defining factor for Nottingham Forest in this one, and it may be worth keeping an eye to see what developments occur over the coming weeks and months.

Nottingham Forest could also be set to allow a surprise departure
