Multiple members of the Brazil national team earned red cards Tuesday during a game against the U.S. Two Brazilian players were shown red cards during the game, and two more were shown red after the final whistle. Brazil head coach Arthur Elias was also given a red card earlier in the second half and was sent off, along with several members of his staff.

After the match, the referees lined up for the usual postmatch handshakes flanked by two security officers with plastic shields.

The U.S. battled its way through the highly physical second and final meeting with Brazil during this international window to claim a 1-0 victory at the Arena Castelão in Fortaleza, wrapping up its trip to the 2027 World Cup host country. It was the team’s first win against Brazil in Brazil since 1997.

“My job is to have respect for the officials,” Emma Hayes said in a news conference after the match. “My job is to make sure I stay in my technical area. There is only one person allowed to stand. And my job is to be a role model for my players, to display the behaviors to them that I want from them.”

After a 2-1 loss to Brazil on Saturday night, the U.S.’s response was overshadowed by the final 10 minutes of the match.

Sophia Wilson nearly scored her second goal since becoming a mother in the 63rd minute of the match, battling her way from the touchline toward the penalty before firing a right-footed shot that deflected off a Brazilian defender before skidding past Kansas City Current goalkeeper Lorena. Though the goal stood, it was labeled an own goal on Brazil defender Isabela. Wilson scored the lone goal for the U.S. in their Saturday night fixture against Brazil in São Paulo.

Nasarawa Amazons maintained their perfect start to the 2026 Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Super Six after coming from behind to beat defending champions Bayelsa Queens 2-1 in Port Harcourt on Monday.

After a goalless first half, Bayelsa Queens took the lead six minutes after the restart through Chiamaka Ezekwugo. However, Nasarawa Amazons fought back strongly in the closing stages of the game.

Farikikyen Moses equalised in the 80th minute before Ayatsea Hembafan scored a stoppage-time winner to hand Christopher Danjuma’s side their second consecutive victory of the competition.

The win moved Nasarawa Amazons to six points from two matches, while Bayelsa Queens remain on one point.

In another Matchday Two fixture, Abia Angels recorded a surprise 1-0 victory over former champions Rivers Angels at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium.

Winner David scored the only goal of the match in the 26th minute, heading home what proved to be the winning goal. The result earned Abia Angels their first victory of the playoffs after drawing 1-1 with Bayelsa Queens in their opening game.

The Umuahia-based side now have four points from two matches and have strengthened their chances of challenging for the title.

Meanwhile, Edo Queens bounced back from their opening-day defeat to Nasarawa Amazons with an impressive 4-1 win over FC Robo Queens.

Chioma Moses was the star of the match, scoring twice in the first half to give Edo Queens a comfortable lead. Substitute Precious Oscar added a third goal shortly after the break before Mary Mamudu made it 4-0 in the 63rd minute.

FC Robo Queens grabbed a late consolation goal through Florence Godwin Freda, but Edo Queens were already firmly in control.

The defeat was FC Robo Queens’ second in a row after their opening loss to Rivers Angels. The NWFL Super Six playoffs will continue on Wednesday with more crucial matches in the race for the league title.

A former WWE champion returned to his old stomping ground tonight. He is currently among the most popular acts on Friday Night SmackDown under Triple H’s creative leadership.

The name being discussed is Kit Wilson. On tonight’s episode of NXT, Wilson returned to the black-and-silver brand for the first time in 1141 days. He was the special guest judge for the inaugural Mr. NXT Pageant.

Before tonight, the former NXT Tag Team Champion’s last appearance for the Shawn Michaels-led brand came on April 25, 2023. Wilson and Elton Prince lost to The D’Angelo Family’s Channing Lorenzo and Tony D’Angelo at Spring Breakin’.

Following the abovementioned loss, Pretty Deadly (Kit Wilson & Elton Prince) was moved to SmackDown as part of the 2023 Draft. The duo had a stellar run on the blue brand before Prince sustained a severe neck injury in May 2025.

In his tag team partner’s absence, Kit Wilson adopted a new gimmick, aiming to eradicate “toxic masculinity” from WWE. In recent months, the 31-year-old has become immensely popular among fans despite portraying a heel character. He has been working with The Miz to take down their common enemy, Danhausen.

Last month, The A-Lister and Wilson interrupted the legendary John Cena’s segment at WrestleMania 42. Before they could target the 17-time WWE World Champion, Danhausen showed up with Minihausens and humiliated the heels on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

At Backlash 2026, Wilson and Miz combined forces to face Danhausen and a Minihausen in a tag team match. Unfortunately for the heel duo, they lost the bout in Tampa, Florida. Despite their defeat, the former WWE Champion and the British superstar have not abandoned their mission of taking down Mr. Very Nice, Very Evil.

Danhausen is currently working on a major “science experiment” on SmackDown. Fans have various theories about the ongoing storyline involving the former AEW star. It will be interesting to see how the experiment affects Miz and Wilson.
