Spain win 11-goal thriller against Germany to reach European Under-19 C'ship final
Spain edged Germany 6-5 after extra-time on Monday, reaching the European Under-19 Championship final after a dramatic clash in Bucharest in which eight goals were scored after the 78th minute.
Real Betis winger Pablo Garcia was Spain's hero in a semi-final that turned from a 2–1 Germany lead with 12 minutes of regulation time left into an 11-goal extravaganza.
Garcia's fourth goal of the night – which came seconds before the final whistle – finally settled a contest after three stoppage time goals had taken the game to extra time.
The Germans will be left wondering how they are leaving the tournament despite Hoffenheim striker Max Moerstedt's impressive hat-trick.

Former Tottenham assistant coach Nick Montgomery in Singapore for talks to fill Lions coach role
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Nick Montgomery is in town for talks with the FAS and was spotted at Beach Road on Aug 14. SINGAPORE – The race to appoint a new Lions coach is heating up, with former Tottenham Hotspur assistant coach Nick Montgomery one of two candidates in town for discussions with Singapore football officials. On Aug 14, Montgomery was spotted by The Straits Times near a hotel in Beach Road. When approached, the 43-year-old said that he was in Singapore to 'visit a cousin who lives here'. When asked about his interest in the national football team head coach role, he was tightlipped, noting that 'it wouldn't be right for me to comment on that'. According to sources, Montgomery and Spanish tactician Jesus Casas, the former manager of the Iraq national team, are here this week to meet with senior officials from the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) and the Unleash the Roar! national football project. Montgomery met with them on Aug 14, while Casas will do so on Aug 15. Both managers are part of the shortlist of candidates – reported by ST in July – to replace former Lions head coach Tsutomu Ogura, who resigned on June 24 due to personal reasons. At the FAS Media day on Aug 6, deputy president Desmond Ong revealed that it had received 67 applications for the vacancy. This was whittled down to an initial shortlist of 16, before 10 candidates were selected for interviews. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

According to sources, the shortlist now comprises Italian football icon Fabio Cannavaro, former Liverpool player Harry Kewell, Casas, Montgomery, and former Thailand coach Mano Polking, who all come from diverse elite-level playing and coaching backgrounds. Though Casas and Montgomery's presence in Singapore suggests that the duo are the front runners for the top job. Montgomery was Ange Postecoglou's assistant coach at English Premier League club Tottenham from June 2024, during which they won the Europa League for their first major trophy in 17 years. Born in Leeds, England, the Australian left the club after Postecoglou was sacked in June.

PHOTO: REUTERS Before his English Premier League stint, he won the 2023 A-League championship with Australian club Central Coast Mariners. Later that year he was appointed manager of Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership but was sacked in May 2024. As a player, Montgomery was best known for his time with Sheffield United, with whom he made over 350 first-team appearances between 2000 and 2012. Casas, 51, was most recently head coach of Iraq's national team after his appointment in November 2022. In his 33 matches in charge, he won 20, drew four and lost nine. In April, the Iraqi Football Association announced Casas' dismissal with just two games remaining in Asian qualification for the 2026 World Cup. The team are still in with a chance of reaching the tournament and will play fourth round fixtures against Indonesia and Saudi Arabia in October. Casas, who will be FAS' first Spanish coach if hired, worked with several youth teams in Spain before being appointed assistant manager to Javi Gracia at English outfit Watford in early 2018. He was part of the Spanish national team's coaching staff from 2018 to 2022, working alongside La Roja head coaches Robert Moreno and Luis Enrique. While the hunt for the head coach picks up steam, for now former BG Tampines Rovers head coach Gavin Lee will serve as interim manager of the Lions for the international friendly against Malaysia on Sept 4, and back to back AFC Asian Cup qualifiers against India in October.

Defending champions Jannik Sinner, Aryna Sabalenka reach Cincinnati quarters
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Jannik Sinner returns a shot against Adrian Mannarino during the Cincinnati Open. CINCINNATI – Defending champions Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka led the way into the Cincinnati Open quarter-finals on Aug 13, with Carlos Alcaraz hot on their heels with a straight-sets victory of his own. Sinner shrugged off a mid-match weather delay lasting nearly three hours as he advanced 6-4, 7-6 (7-4) over Adrian Mannarino of France. Sabalenka, taken to three sets in her previous match with Emma Raducanu, regrouped after surrendering a second-set service break to defeat Spain's Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 6-1, 7-5. Alcaraz, the second seed who has reached the finals of his last six tournaments, hammered Italian lucky loser Luca Nardi 6-1, 6-4 in an impressive victory. 'This match was my best so far of the tournament,' the Spanish world No. 2. said. 'At the start I wanted to get better each day and I've done that. 'I'm proud of that and happy with how I felt the ball and how I moved,' added Alcaraz, who next faces ninth-seeded Russian Andrey Rublev. World No. 1 Sinner, playing his first tournament since winning Wimbledon, notched his 24th consecutive hardcourt match victory. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

It went to a tiebreak, with Sinner firing his 11th and 12th aces to clinch victory. 'He's a very difficult opponent, different from the other payers,' he said. 'He can read the opponent well. It was a struggle to close it out but I'm happy to be in the quarter-finals.' Sinner next faces Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime, who beat Benjamin Bonzi of France 6-4, 6-3. After her marathon victory against Raducanu, world No. 1 Sabalenka was pleased to get off the court in straight sets against Bouzas Maneiro. 'The key was to focus and put as much pressure as possible on her serve,' said the Belarusian. 'I'm glad to win in straight sets, I didn't want to stay for three hours.' Sabalenka will face former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, who beat Australian Open champion Madison Keys 6-7 (3-7), 6-4, 6-2. In other matches, third-seeded Alexander Zverev had to take to the court twice to reach the quarters – although both outings were relatively short-lived. The German started his day by polishing off a 6-4, 6-4 third-round victory over Brandon Nakashima in a match continued from the previous day. The entire one-game exercise, with 2021 Cincy winner Zverev leading 6-4, 5-4 when play resumed, took less than two minutes. Hours later, he advanced to the quarters when Karen Khachanov retired with Zverev leading 7-5, 3-0. Fifth seed Ben Shelton, last week's Toronto champion, reached the last 16 with a 7-6 (7-3), 6-3 victory over Roberto Bautista Agut in a match rescheduled from Aug 12. Women's third seed Iga Swiatek beat Sorana Cirstea 6-4, 6-3, overcoming 33 unforced errors in a 95-minute victory to reach the quarters. 'I wanted to be more solid than in my last match,' Wimbledon champion Swiatek said. 'I'm happy with the level of my focus and the consistency.' AFP

Premier League CEO Richard Masters pleads for patience in Man City case
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox There is yet to be a decision over Manchester City's disciplinary case involving 115 charges of alleged financial rule breaches. LONDON – English Premier League chief executive Richard Masters defended the league's judicial process on Aug 13, amid criticism over the slow pace of Manchester City's disciplinary case involving 115 charges of alleged financial rule breaches. Speaking at a Premier League season launch event in Liverpool, he said that once charges are brought forward, the matter is handed over to an independent panel, which operates autonomously. 'It's an independent judiciary essentially,' Masters told Sky Sports. 'They are then in charge of the process and its timings. They hear the case, they decide the outcome and we have no influence over it or its timing.' He refrained from speculating on when a decision might be reached, but acknowledged the frustration surrounding lengthy legal processes. 'My frustration is irrelevant really, I just have to wait. Legal processes rarely take less time than you anticipated. But we have to be patient,' he added. Masters also addressed speculation around staging Premier League matches abroad, after La Liga's plan for a game between Villarreal and Barcelona in Miami received approval from the Spanish football federation (RFEF) on Aug 11.

'I think that (La Liga) match that's been talked about, there's a long road to go yet about whether that will actually happen,' Masters said. 'It hasn't changed our view about matches abroad. We did look at the 39th game way back when with lots of controversy... Our objective at the time was how to grow the Premier League around the world. We've been able to do that through different means.' Masters also responded to concerns over the competitiveness of newly promoted clubs, after all three teams relegated last season – Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton – had only just come up. The same thing happened in the 2023-24 campaign when Luton Town, Burnley and Sheffield United returned to the second tier after only one season in the top-flight. Masters pointed to success stories like Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth and Fulham, who were promoted for the 2022-23 season and are 'performing extremely well in the Premier League three years later'. 'It's never going to be easy... The Premier League is becoming more competitive. The Championship is a fantastic division. We want it to be successful. We want there to be an influx of different clubs coming in and out. So it's something we need to keep an eye on,' he said. To conclude his speech, Masters confirmed that the newly established independent football regulator is expected to begin operations in October or November. 'We are the first country, major football nation to be regulated in this way,' he said. 'The Premier League operates in a global environment. So naturally we have some concerns, but the main thing is that I think the regulator doesn't start from the position that football is somehow broken in this country... 'All of the key indicators are really positive for the whole of the pyramid, for the England teams, men's and women's. So, I think there is lots to be really proud about and the regulator should really be intervening where absolutely necessary.' The new Premier League season kicks off on Aug 15 when defending champions Liverpool host Bournemouth. REUTERS
