Nigerian midfielder Daniel Daga marked his return to the starting line-up with a goal as Molde came from behind to defeat KFUM Oslo 4-2 in a Norwegian Eliteserien match on Sunday, July 26.
KFUM Oslo made the perfect start, taking the lead in the opening minute of the game. However, Daga brought Molde back into the contest in the 40th minute with a well-taken low shot from inside the penalty area to make it 1-1.
The 19-year-old played for 69 minutes before he was replaced by Enggård, with Molde going on to score twice in the second half to complete an impressive comeback victory.

The goal was Daga’s second appearance since he was acquitted of sexual assault allegations. He had returned to action last weekend, coming off the bench in Molde’s 2-1 home defeat to Brann.
Daga’s goal and strong performance will be a welcome boost for Molde coach Sindre Tjelmeland as the club continues its push for a European qualification place in the Norwegian top flight.
Tadej Pogacar won a record-equaling fifth Tour de France title on Sunday. The 27-year-old Slovenian dominated this year’s race to join Belgian Eddy Merckx, Spaniard Miguel Indurain and Frenchmen Jacques Anquetil and Bernard Hinault as the only riders to win five Tours. “From stage 6 onwards, he never let go,” said James Vasina, FRANCE 24 journalist reporting from the finish line in Paris.

Drew Rasmussen allowed one hit over seven shutout innings while Chandler Simpson manufactured the game’s lone run as the Tampa Bay Rays completed a three-game sweep of the Cleveland Guardians with a 1-0 win Sunday in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Rasmussen (9-5) walked one and struck out nine. Garrett Cleavinger pitched a scoreless eighth inning before Bryan Baker worked around a two-out walk in the ninth for his 28th save.
Simpson had two hits for Tampa Bay, which won for the sixth time in its last seven games and has the American League’s best record at 62-43.
Cleveland was held to one hit and lost its fifth straight game. The Guardians were shutout for the second consecutive game and eighth time this season.
Parker Messick (8-6) was a hard-luck loser after giving up one run on six hits over 7 2/3 innings. He struck out six with zero walks.

The Guardians went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position and have scored a total of four runs in their last four games.
Tampa Bay broke the scoreless tie with a run in the fifth inning. Simpson hit a leadoff single, moved to second on a wild pitch and then to third on Ben Williamson’s groundout before scoring on Cedric Mullins’ bunt single.
Rasmussen settled in quickly after yielding Steven Kwan’s double to begin the game. He struck out four of the next six batters and retired the last 12 batters he faced.

Cleavinger replaced Rasmussen to begin the eighth inning and recorded three outs with a strikeout on 11 pitches.
Messick retired the first seven batters he faced before Nick Fortes doubled with one out in the third inning. Fortes moved to third on Richie Palacios’ groundout, but he was stranded when Yandy Diaz lined out to first.
Tampa Bay put two runners on with one out in the seventh inning, but Messick struck out Mullins and Fortes to escape unscathed.
Baker completed the Rays’ eighth shutout of the season in the ninth by striking out Brayan Rocchio with a runner at first for his second save in as many days.

Lucas Herbert wasn’t about to be denied the LIV Golf United Kingdom championship on Sunday.
Entering the final round at 20-under with a three-stroke lead over Bryson DeChambeau, the Australian holed 10 birdies for a final-round 62 and a 30-under-par 258 for the four-day event. That gave him a six-stroke victory over England’s Tyrrell Hatton, who turned in a 63.
DeChambeau closed with a 68 to finish 21-under par and in third place at JCB Golf & Country Club in Rocester, England.
Herbert’s dominance this week — his 62 was preceded by rounds of 61, 66 and 69 — led Rippers GC to a 52-under finish, four strokes ahead of captain Jon Rahm’s Legion XIII.
The 30-under finish by Herbert marked the lowest in LIV history. This was his second individual victory of the season — he also won LIV Golf Virginia in May — and he also set the league record for most birdies in a tournament with 30. His combination of 32 birdies and eagles in a tournament also broke a LIV record.

Herbert said confidence in his game grew after his strong finish at the Open Championship last week at Royal Birkdale, where he finished four shots behind winner Ryan Fox and tied for sixth.
“Just wanted to really carry that into this week the best I could,” Herbert said. “I think I got out of my own way the first two rounds and I started thinking about it yesterday. It was just good to play like that today when I was being pushed by two of the best players in the world.”
Hatton pushed as hard as he could with nine birdies, but it wasn’t enough given Herbert’s unprecedented four rounds.

“Obviously Lucas played amazing today, Hatton said. “I wanted to get off to a fast start, which is what I did, but unfortunately Lucas did as well. Yeah, I’m very proud of how I played. It would have been amazing to win in front of home fans, but I tried my best. But actually Lucas was incredible this week.”
Herbert said he did a good job at something else — hiding his nerves.
“I was definitely feeling it out there. I can only do what I can do,” Herbert said. “I was able to take care of what I needed to do today pretty well to get me over the line. I knew it wasn’t going to be a day where even par, 1-under, was going to get it done for me. I knew I had to go out there and get it. Just kept pushing myself the whole way, and here we are.”
Australian Cameron Smith shot a 69 on Sunday to finish in fourth at 17-under. Mexico’s Abraham Ancer (71) and Caleb Surratt (67) shared fifth at 14-under.
Real Madrid are closing in on a big-money signing which could open the door for Manchester United
Real Madrid are closing in on a reported £100million transfer deal for Yan Diomande that could have knock-on effects on Manchester United and their summer rebuild. Michael Carrick’s side have already enjoyed an impressive start to the summer transfer window, strengthening their midfield ahead of a return to the Champions League.
United made the most of Youri Tielemans’s £35m release clause in his Aston Villa contract to lure the Europa League winner to Old Trafford, while also bolstering their ranks with the signing of Andrey Santos from Chelsea.

The club know they needed to reinvigorate their midfield engine room this summer and find a replacement for Brazilian veteran Casemiro, who left the club at the end of his contract earlier this summer.
United have been linked with Real midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni as a potential successor for Casemiro, with the Frenchman’s future at the Santiago Bernabeu uncertain.
It’s claimed Real would be open to selling the French international for £68m amid ongoing speculation about a move for Manchester City playmaker Rodri.

So how does it all tie in together? Well, Real are about to splash the cash on Diomande and although Rodri is entering the final year of his City contract, Los Blancos will need to raise funds for his signature and trim Jose Mourinho’s squad.
As things stand, Mourinho has made it clear he doesn’t want to lose any key players, with Tchouameni reportedly among those he’d like to keep.
Tchouameni had reportedly been in talks over a new deal at the Bernabeu, but there are reports claiming the La Liga giants are open to a sale. City are said to have set an £85m asking price for Rodri, despite him being in the final year of his contract.

Real also know they can ill-afford to have a squad that is bursting at the seems with egos and talent, with comeptition for places likely leaving some stars unhappy with their lack of gametime.
Given the turbulent times in Madrid at the end of last season, it makes sense that Tchouameni could be one of the players Real sell in order to fund their transfer overhaul this summer.
There’s been ongoing uncertainty about the 26-year-old since his altercation with fellow Real star Federico Velverde earlier this year.
While that may be water under the bridge, it’s clear that Carrick and the United recruitment team are still looking for a world class defensive midfielder ahead of their return to the Champions League.

Liv Morgan opened up about a recent injury
During her feud with Stephanie Vaquer, Liv Morgan suffered a gruesome injury during a backstage segment. La Primera was supposed to attack the 32-year-old from behind. However, the spot went horribly wrong as Morgan’s forehead bumped into fellow stablemate Roxanne Perez’s forehead.
Morgan spoke about the injury on the third season of WWE Unreal. She noted that the collision made a disgusting sound, and everyone around her was horrified. The Judgment Day member added that she did not know about the nature of the damage she had sustained and didn’t want to look at her own forehead.

“Two weeks before WrestleMania, Stephanie [Vaquer] shoved me from behind. The sound that it made was literally disgusting. Everyone was reacting pretty severely around me. They were horrified. We smashed heads really hard. I just lay down there for a couple extra seconds just to kind of gather myself. I really didn’t know what the damage was. I didn’t want to look at it. I went to go put my hand on my head, and I was like, ‘Holy s**t.’ It’s still squishy. It’s still there. It doesn’t hurt anymore. The blood is draining to my eyes. I wake up every single day and have a reminder of why the f**k I got to kick her a**,” Morgan said.
Stephanie Vaquer has also been out of action for several months due to a legitimate shoulder injury. Her last in-ring appearance was at WrestleMania 42, where she lost the Women’s World Championship to Liv Morgan.

Tadej Pogacar of Slovenia celebrates winning his fifth Tour de France on Sunday in Paris.
With a record-tying fifth Tour de France title already in hand, Tadej Pogacar did his best to put on another show on Sunday before relenting near the finish of the shortened final stage in Paris.
The cycling star from Slovenia was overtaken on the final straightaway of Stage 21, but still won the overall title in a time of 73 hours, 56 minutes, 26 seconds over the three-week event. He finished 6:26 ahead of Belgium’s Remco Evenepoel.
Pogacar’s UAE Team Emirates teammate Isaac del Toro of Mexico finished third overall, which also clinched the title for top rider 25-years-old and under.
Mathieu van der Poel of Belgium won the final stage in a sprint to the finish line along Paris’ Champs-Elysees.
Pogacar and van der Poel were locked in a duel on the final circuit before van der Poel used his famed sprinter’s speed to pull away. It was a 1-2 finish for the Alpecin-Premier Tech team with Jasper Philipsen of Belgium coming in second. Mads Pedersen of Denmark, and the Lidl-Trek team, finished third.

Stage 21 was adjusted this year to include the hilly Montmartre circuit, which has gained popularity since being used during the 2024 Paris Olympics. The route was adjusted further Saturday when it was reduced to 88.7 kilometers due to wildfires outside of Paris.
Richard Carapaz of Ecuador won the overall title for top climber while wearing the polka-dot jersey while Pedersen clinched the sprinter’s title in the green jersey. Lidl-Trek, which includes Quinn Simmons of the United States, won the team title.
Simmons, the reigning United States road race champion, was awarded “Best Teammate” for the second consecutive year.

Pogacar ended up in 30th on the final stage, but the overall title had long been in hand as he won the Tour de France for the third consecutive year. He also won titles in 2020 and 2021.
“It’s an incredible day and an incredible atmosphere,” Pogacar said. “I’m happy that it’s over and we won for a fifth time.”
Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard of Denmark are the only riders to win the Tour de France since 2000. Vingegaard was forced to abandon this year’s race on Stage 15 when he crashed in a turn and came away with a right arm injury. Vingegaard was second overall when he crashed.
Miguel Indurain of Spain was the last to win five Tour de France titles, clinching the last of those in 1995. Bernard Hinault of France, Eddy Merckx of Belgium and Jacques Anquetil of France also won five titles.

“Every victory is really special and seven Tours already, seven times on the podium, with five wins, it’s something that you wouldn’t even write in a storybook,” Pogacar said. “It’s unbelievable for me.”
Pogacar stamped himself as one of the top road racers of all-time by winning Stages 3, 6, 10, 14 and 19 this year. The five wins this year give him 26 Tour de France stage wins.
“It’s a lot of factors,” Pogacar said when asked how he was able to secure title No. 5. “You enjoy what you’re doing, and you have the people around you that you trust and they help you. They’re there for you when you’re at your lowest and you can be yourself and chase your dreams.”

Mario Hezonja is returning to the NBA for the first time since 2020 after signing a one-year deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers, ESPN reported Sunday.
The deal for the Croatia native, who was the fifth overall selection in the 2015 draft, is reportedly worth $2.8 million.
Hezonja, 31, has spent the last six years in the EuroLeague and the last four at Real Madrid where he blossomed. Hezonja helped Real Madrid clinch the EuroLeague championship in 2023 and was named the MVP of Liga ACB for the 2025-26 season when he averaged 17.5 points and 4.9 rebounds.
The Golden State Warriors also pursued the former lottery pick, according to the report. The Cavaliers came out ahead in the end as they look to improve on a run where they made it to the Eastern Conference finals last season. It was their first conference final since 2018.

Hezonja last played in the NBA during the 2019-2020 season with the Portland Trailblazers and also spent time with the Orlando Magic (2015-18) and New York Knicks (2018-19) in five seasons. In 330 career games (69 starts) Hezonja averaged 6.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists, while shooting 41.7% from the field and 31.9% from 3-point range.
The nine-year veteran made only two appearances for the Brewers before the team had apparently seen enough. McCullers’ outing in Saturday’s 8-5 win over the Rockies was particularly rough, with 4 walks in 1 2/3 innings.

In the ninth with the Brewers leading 8-2, McCullers walked TJ Rumfield to lead off the frame. Then first baseman Jake Bauers committed a throwing error to put two men on base. McCullers followed up with a two-out walk to Ezequiel Tovar before giving up a two-run single to Jake McCarthy.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy then pulled McCullers in favor of Trevor Megill, who allowed Tovar to score on a Kyle Karros single. Altogether, 3 runs were charged to McCullers, though they were unearned due to Bauers’ error.
Advertisement
To take McCullers’ place on the roster, the Brewers recalled pitcher Garrett Stallings from Triple-A Nashville. In 18 appearances (13 starts), Stallings had a 3.70 ERA with 60 strikeouts in 65 2/3 innings. He made two appearances for Milwaukee earlier this month, throwing three scoreless innings.
Advertisement
McCullers waived his 10-and-5 rights (10 years in MLB, five with the same team) that would have allowed him to veto a trade to facilitate a deal to the Brewers. After being designated for assignment, Milwaukee has seven days to trade him. If the Brewers find no takers, McCullers will then either be placed on waivers, accept a demotion to the minors or be released outright.
Advertisement
Injuries have been a significant issue for McCullers during his 12 years in MLB. He missed the entire 2019, 2023 and 2024 seasons with elbow injuries and underwent reconstructive surgery in 2018. His best season was in 2021, when he posted a 3.16 ERA, 13-5 record and 185 strikeouts in 162 1/3 innings.
McCullers was on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation when he was traded.

AJ Styles stated that he enjoyed working with the younger generation and inspiring them. The former WWE Champion noted that he loved the opportunity to produce matches.

“Honestly, I really enjoy it. I really enjoy it. It’s trying to inspire some of the younger talent and seeing them do well. Being able to produce a match and going, ‘Oh my gosh, dude, you guys killed it.’ I love that opportunity to be able to say I was involved in that to a certain degree,” he added. [H/T: Ringside News]

The Phenomenal One retired from in-ring action earlier this year at the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event. Gunther defeated the veteran at the PLE via submission, forcing him to end his wrestling career.
AJ Styles is excited about major WWE Superstar’s future
During a previous edition of his Phenomenally Retro Podcast, AJ Styles spoke about Chad Gable’s return to Monday Night RAW. The WWE Hall of Famer really liked the former Alpha Academy leader saving Penta and Rey Mysterio from Ethan Page and Rusev’s attack on the red brand’s show.
Styles expressed his desire to see Chad Gable be a bigger star. The veteran further noted that he was really excited about Gable’s future, especially following his massive success as the Original El Grande Americano.

“So we’ve seen Chad Gable come back. He gave Rey Mysterio his mask back and kind of saved both him and Penta. I thought it was really freaking cool. That’s where I want to see it go. I want to see Chad be a bigger star. He’s obviously a babyface based on the fact that he admitted that he’s not the El Grande Americano. He is not him anymore. I think it’s cool. I’m really excited about where this is going,” Styles said. [H/T: Fightful]
Chad Gable is scheduled to challenge Penta for the WWE Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam. The 40-year-old will look to dethrone the luchador at the premium live event and win the title for the very first time.

Speaking after the final, Little reiterated his intention now was to try to claim a clean sweep of the PDC ranking titles in the calendar year – a feat never achieved before.
The Players Championship Finals in November are a sticking point.
It would mean needing to play in, and likely win, some Pro Tour events, and Littler has skipped the first 24 and has already pulled out of the two in Hildesheim this week.
That leaves just eight left for him to feature in Minehead. A total of 64 players qualify for that event and the final player currently has £22,750 in prize money.

A win is worth £15,000 and a runner-up spot £10,000, so Littler has some work to do.
“I don’t think my dad’s too happy because we were going to go to Spain and I think we’ve got to go to Leicester now and play some Pro Tours, but it is what it is,” Littler added on Sky Sports.
“I’ve been checking the Pro Tour rankings and whoever is in 64th just keeps going up and up and up. I know there are four in Leicester that I’ve got to go to now and we’ll see what happens.
“If I don’t qualify then I’m going to get grilled and if I do, I’ll get grilled anyway. Who knows what’s going to happen?”

Former BDO world champion Mark Webster said he “half expects” the teenager to achieve the clean sweep.
“Who is going to stop Luke Littler?” he added.
“You could argue the first round of the Grand Prix because of the short format (best of three sets), but Gian van Veen threw everything at him last year and he had all the answers.
“At the minute his game just holds up in any format and scenario. He wants to break records. You definitely wouldn’t rule it out.”
