But the win wasn’t an easy one as Chennaiyin had to graft hard against their Bangladeshi opponents who fought tooth and nail through the game and had chances to score of their own. The definitive moment of the game came in the 79th minute when Anirudh Thapa brought down a forward pass brilliantly with his chest, before scoring a deflected goal. The shot took a deflection from Abahani Dhaka’s midfielder Wellington Priori and went in....

Three straight defeats Singapore Cup holders Warriors FC have had a dismal start to the season in all competitions as they are in the bottom half of the S-League table and are ever closer to elimination from the AFC Cup group stage after defeats in each of their opening three games. Warriors are one of five sides in the 32-team group stage to lose their first three matches and thus, need something special in the final three games because even if they record maximum points in them, they would still have to depend on other results....

The AFC’s executive committee decided to maintain the current format of its flagship club event in the face of a ban imposed on travel in and out of Qatar by a Saudi Arabia-led coalition that is backed by the United Arab Emirates.

Prior to its loss to Equatorial Guinea, the Algerian federation claimed that its undefeated run stood at 35 matches, just three away from setting a new record....

Speaking to Mark Madden, Wardlow drew parallels between himself and Batista with respect to the roles they placed for their respective factions: Evolution was a faction consisting of Triple H, Batista, Randy Orton and Ric Flair. Each individual had a defined role within the group. Batista was the strongest and often did the heavy lifting for the team, similar to what Wardlow does for the Pinnacle in AEW. Batista went on to become a megastar, so Wardlow will be hoping his AEW career follows a similar trajectory....

Giants Ghana, Senegal, Algeria and Egypt will fancy their chances with the Super Eagles of Nigeria conspicuous by their absence having failed to qualify. That failure reinforces the unpredictability and inconsistency in African football; anything can and probably will happen in Gabon when Africa’s most dazzling talents fight for the continent’s ultimate prize.

But even as tough times lead fewer of us to actually renovate, many of us still aspire to—and still spend time watching other people remodeling on cable channels like HGTV. There’s a vicarious thrill to be had watching more fortunate homeowners transform their spaces. Turns out they’re even luckier than we thought. That’s because on some shows the production companies step up to cover big chunks of the renovation expense....
