Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:39:29 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Donyell Malen scored late for Borussia Dortmund to start the Bundesliga with a fortunate 1-0 win over Cologne on Saturday, though it didn’t prevent memories of the team’s missed title chance from being revived.Dortmund labored for long periods to break through the well-drilled visitor’s disciplined unit and was fortunate that Cologne’s Davie Selke, Dejan Ljubicic and substitute Sargis Adamyan did not score. Dortmund looked set for another disappointing draw at home in the league.In its previous game at the Westfalenstadion, Dortmund failed to wrap up the title last season when it was held by Mainz to 2-2 on the final day, when Bayern Munich capitalized with a 2-1 win in Cologne.Malen scored in the 88th minute when he bundled the ball in at the far post after a corner, and Dortmund’s luck held as Max Finkgräfe missed another chance for Cologne to equalize with the last kick of the game.Malen had been due to go off just minutes before he scored, but Dortmund coach ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Philadelphia Phillies placed left-handed pitcher Ranger Suárez in the 15-day injured list Saturday with a strained right hamstring.Manager Rob Thomson said the team would return to a five-man rotation while Suárez is sidelined.“He came in a lot better today, so that’s good news,” Thomson said. “We’re really being cautious with this. Hopefully, he comes back to us right at the end of the IL stint.”Suarez, whose injured list stint is retroactive to Wednesday, said he felt fine during pregame work Wednesday in Toronto before feeling soreness. He underwent an MRI exam Friday, which he said revealed a Grade 1 strain.The Phillies initially scratched him from his scheduled start Sunday in the Little League Classic before opting to place him on the injured list.“I played catch, I did some sprints, I shagged (flyballs),” Suárez said through an interpreter. “Everything was fine and I didn’t feel anything and it’s not like I felt a pop or a pull.

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:39:29 GMT

DUBLIN (AP) — England’s preparations for the Rugby World Cup plunged into further chaos when Billy Vunipola was red-carded for a dangerous tackle in a 29-10 loss to top-ranked Ireland in a warmup match illuminated by a stunning late try by Keith Earls on Saturday.Vunipola, the only specialist No. 8 in England’s World Cup squad, saw his yellow card upgraded to a red by the newly introduced bunker review system after smashing his right shoulder into the face of Ireland prop Andrew Porter in the 53rd minute at Lansdowne Road.A disciplinary panel will determine the length of Vunipola’s suspension next week but he is in danger of missing the start of the World Cup — just like captain Owen Farrell, who missed the match in Dublin amid his own disciplinary process.World Rugby has appealed against the decision by a judicial committee to overturn a red card handed to Farrell for his dangerous, no-arms tackle on Wales flanker Taine Basham at Twickenham last week.
