That though, did not deter the Blues’ fans to shout their lungs out with boisterous chants engulfing the entire stadium. However Santosh Kashyap managed to silence the home crowd with his shrewd tactics to keep the ball away from the defending champions and force errors from the home side and the plan seemed to have been working wonders for the majority of the first half. The frustration showed as most of Bengaluru’s incisive moves in the opposition area resulted in wasted opportunities....

Head coach Albert Roca was understandably gutted with the result. The Spaniard believed his side was unfortunate to not register any goals despite a satisfactory performance. ‘‘We are frustrated with the result. It’s not just this game, it’s happened before too. But nonetheless, I am happy with the performance of the players, they did a good job. I have no complaints. We were just unlucky. For most parts of the game, we had the counter and created a lot of chances....

Chennai City FC made four changes to the side that started the draw against Churchill Brothers. Importantly, Karanjit Singh was deemed fit and was named in goal while Haroon Amiri came in for Rejin, Abhishek Das for Raju Yumnam and youngster Nandhakumar for Prasanth. Thangboi Singto, as has often been the case, named an unchanged lineup from the team that held East Bengal at Siliguri. As far as eight U-22 players featured in the Shillong Lajong lineup....

It was round 18 of the I-League and both teams were playing their last fixture in this season’s domestic top tier competition. The home side went into this game making five changes. Soirem Anganba, Sasa Kolunija, Shane McFaul, Sanu Pradhan and Jerry Mawihmingthanga were all replaced by Abhishek Das, Sairuat Kima, Vanlalremkima, Kim Seong Yong and Gouramangi Singh.

‘‘We are not looking at our current position while playing tomorrow’s game and taking this one as just another game. It’s another three points which we want to try and get. All the games are important for us as we want to be successful,’’ he revealed. The hosts are table leaders at the moment with 16 points from six fixtures, having lost none of the contests. However, the Englishman is not concerned with their current glory and aims for a long time success....

Jamil was furious with his team’s defence of set pieces and did not hold back words while criticizing them. “We conceded a silly goal. The marking was not proper. It was a total defensive lapse. Whoever was in-charge of marking Kingsley inside the box didn’t do his job,” said an infuriated Jamil after the match. “It is not about the performance. We have lost vital points. Performance is okay but it was important to win and get the points....

Speaking to Goal right after the thrilling contest, the big Serbian couldn’t contain his happiness at scoring the matchwinning goal. “It feels really amazing, to be honest. It is my first goal for Bengaluru, so that feels great. I’m very proud that I was able to get the three points for my team and will look to carry on from here in the coming games and in the AFC Cup,” he exclaimed....

With the Democrats’ Puerto Rico primary only days away, the predictable flood of Latin-flavored celebrity endorsements is finally upon us. In Hillary Clinton’s corner is Puerto Rico native Ricky “Livin’ La Vida Loca” Martin, who announced this morning that he is supporting Clinton because she’s been “consistent in her commitment with [sic] the needs of the Latino community.” (No mention, unfortunately, of whether her “lips are devil red” and/or “her skin is the color mocha....

I’m not sure when walking became a grim task. And the work is hardly mindless. I work at a smaller warehouse facility called a sortation center. As the name indicates, we do a lot of sorting there, which is anything but a mindless task. Some of the sorters in my warehouse have to make dozens of sorting decisions every minute. The diverter, for example, stands beside a conveyor belt in the unloading dock and as envelopes and packages speed by, she has to quickly look for the yellow label that tells her which of the three off-ramps each package needs to be diverted towards....

Nothing is normal these days at General Motors. A turnaround that was beginning to gain some traction has now been overshadowed by a boardroom battle for control of the ailing automaker, which lost $10.6 billion last year. Many suspect that Kerkorian’s real agenda is to shove Wagoner out of the driver’s seat and replace him with Renault-Nissan’s superstar CEO, Carlos Ghosn, who is revered in the auto industry for bringing Nissan back from the dead....

Around Christmas 2013, we visited Hong Kong. On Mong Kok, Hong Kong’s busiest street, we found a hole-in-the-wall currency exchange. While we were buying Hong Kong dollars, I noticed it shared a wall with a tiny photo studio. After our transaction was settled, I dragged him straight next door. Though it was cramped, it offered photos for a wide variety of purposes: Chinese, Hong Kong and Taiwanese passports, Canadian permanent resident cards, American green cards…you name it....

Heading into this week’s Honda Classic, Poulter had not finished in the top 10 on the PGA Tour since the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial last May. Now ranked 59th in the world, Poulter is still confident he will be playing in the Ryder Cup this fall.

During the DP World Tour Championship at the Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai, Stenson stole Poulter’s car keys and filmed him in the parking lot searching for them. “He’s looking. We all know the feeling," Stenson said in the video he posted to Twitter on Sunday. “He’s going to be looking for a while. Of course, he’s going to be upset with me, that’s the whole point!” MORE: Dustin Johnson gets choked up in Masters interview: ‘It’s hard to talk’...

This came in the wake of the Blues’ shock 2-1 loss to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday. The 24-year-old Belgian international, the focal point of Antonio Conte’s side, fired blank while Abraham, on loan from the Stamford Bridge outfit, scored twice to lead Swansea to a 2-0 win over Huddersfield at the Liberty Stadium. And the former England international has criticised Batshuayi’s poor showing against Roy Hodgson’s men and said he will take Tammy ‘all day long’....

Simeon Verdi gave the hosts an early lead before Mbaye doubled their advantage - with his first goal of the season - in the 23rd minute. Bologna ended the first half a man less after Vasilios Torosidis was sent off. But that did not halt the Blue and Reds’ juggernaut as Okwonkwo, on the scoresheet earlier in the week and on as a 63rd-minute substitute for Verdi, was on hand to wrap the victory for Roberto Donadoni’s men in the 73rd minute....

The Galaxy have had their struggles this season, including a seven-match winless run that only recently came to an end, but the Swedish star believes that his club has all that it needs to threaten other contenders for the title. LA sits seventh in the MLS Western Conference table, just three points back of the sixth-placed Seattle Sounders and four back of fifth-placed Real Salt Lake with four games to play....

United had a number of chances to put the game out of Anderlecht’s reach after Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s opener, but they failed to score a second goal and were eventually made to pay when Leander Dendoncker drew things level late on Thursday. Mourinho took aim at his attackers after the final whistle and Ibrahimovic has now acknowledged they should indeed have done better. Kompany shows City what they’ve been missing...

Ibrahimovic completed his move to MLS after United agreed to cancel his contract early, with the 36-year-old in line to appear against city rival Los Angeles FC on Saturday. The Sweden striker has been unable to play in 2018 due to injury but feels fully fit and ready to make an impact at his new club. “I am available,” Ibrahimovic told reporters at his first news conference Friday. “I have so much adrenaline it can hold a long time, but the condition I don’t know, let’s see....

Ibrahimovic has been in impressive form since joining United from Paris Saint-Germain, scoring 24 goals in 37 appearances in all competitions, and Mourinho is hugely impressed with the 35-year-old’s performances. Valencia: Utd pushing for PL title “I think he is even better than when I worked with him at Inter,” Mourinho told Sky Sports. “He is more collected, more intelligent and understands the game even better. He is not just a finisher, but is also important when it comes to creating goals....
