🚨 Line-up confirmed for Universidad de Chile against Guaraní
The 'U' arrives at this commitment with an interesting advantage and a present that excites its fans, as it has won in four of its last five matches in all competitions.
The starting eleven of Universidad de Chile
Gustavo Álvarez has opted for a formation with three changes: Poblete, Sepúlveda and Contreras give their places to Marcelo Díaz, Salomoni and Di Yorio.
Guaraní, on the other hand, has the difficult task of overcoming five goals and its most recent performances do not give guarantees: it only won one of its last six matches (a draw and four losses).

After Dodger Stadium controversy, Nezza drops ‘El Pendón Estrellado' as single
Nezza will keep on singing the 'The Star-Spangled Banner' in Spanish. The 30-year-old singer — whose real name is Vanessa Hernández — released a single version of 'El Pendón Estrellado' on Wednesday. She made headlines last month after performing the song at Dodger Stadium, despite being told by an unnamed representative of the baseball organization that she sing the national anthem in English. Nezza uploaded the interaction on TikTok and proceeded to sing the Spanish version anyway. She captioned the video, 'para mi gente [heart] I stand with you.' In a follow-up TikTok video, she clarified that her decision to follow through with singing 'El Pendón Estrellado' was in response to the ongoing immigration sweeps throughout Los Angeles. 'I've sang the national anthem many times in my life but today out of all days, I could not,' Nezza said in the second TikTok video. The Dodgers did not issue a public comment on Nezza's social media posts, but a team official said there were no consequences from the club regarding the performance and that Nezza would be welcome back at the stadium in the future. Half of all proceeds from the new recording will go directly to the South-Central L.A. organization A Place Called Home, which provides arts, educational enrichment, academic support and wellness programs designed to inspire, encourage and support children in achieving social, emotional and economic success. Children who have participated in the organization's arts programs are featured in the official video for the song as well. Included in the video are three young guitarists, a bass player, a piano player and a drummer/audio engineer. Additionally, the lighting engineer and another audio engineer were children in the arts program. According to a press release, the other half of the proceeds will go to various immigrant rights groups, including Esperanza Immigrant Rights Project. ''El Pendón Estrellado' is more than just a song; it's a profound statement of unity and a tribute to the diverse voices that enrich America,' the singer continued in her press release. 'I sang the anthem in Spanish for my people. For my culture. For everyone who's ever been made to feel like they don't belong.' In 1945, the U.S. State Department looked to commission a Spanish version of the national anthem, per the request of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who looked to strengthen political and business partnerships with Latin American countries amid World War II. That same year, the Division of Cultural Cooperation within the Department of State, in collaboration with the Music Educators National Conference, invited submissions for the song in Spanish and Portuguese to promote American patriotism throughout Latin America. Composer and musician Clotilde Arias — who immigrated to New York in 1923 at the age of 22 from Iquitos, Peru — submitted 'El Pendón Estrellado,' which included singable lyrics that conveyed the original patriotic essence of 'The Star-Spangled Banner.' It was accepted as the only official translation of the national anthem allowed to be sung, according to the National Museum of American History. 'The lyrics and the story are the same. We're still saying we're proud to be American,' Nezza told The Times last month. 'Latino people are a huge part of building this nation. I think [the song] shows how we are such an important piece to the story of America.' Nezza will continue to raise funds for the immigrant community in L.A., performing at a charity concert at the Roxy in West Hollywood on Aug. 29. All the proceeds from the event will be given to immigration defense nonprofits. Additionally, a canned food and toy drive will be launched with all items going to This Is About Humanity, an advocacy group that focuses on family separations and reunification at the U.S.-Mexico border.

UFC on ESPN 71 headliner HyunSung Park vows to knock out Tatsuro Taira: 'I will break him'
LAS VEGAS – HyunSung Park isn't too worried about not having time to prepare for a short-notice main event against Tatsuro Taira. In the UFC on ESPN 71 headliner at the UFC Apex, Park (10-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) meets Taira (16-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) in a five-round bout at flyweight. It's a fight that came together on less than a week's notice when Taira's original opponent, Amir Albazi, went down with an injury. Park was scheduled to face former title challenger Steve Erceg next weekend at UFC on ESPN 72, but was pulled for this main event opportunity. "Since this was such a short-notice fight, actually there was no camp, no preparation," Park told reporters through an interpreter at Wednesday's media day. "So, I'm just gonna fight with my regular skills." Park's "regular skills" are anything but – he's an exciting finisher who has won nine consecutive fights by submission or knockout, including his first three under the UFC banner. In his debut year in 2023, Park submitted Seung Guk Choi and stopped Shannon Ross with strikes. A knee injury took him out of action for 2024, but in his first fight of 2025 in May, Park kept the finishes coming with a first-round submission of Carlos Hernandez. South Korea's Park jumps straight from prelims fights into a main event slot against Japan's Taira, who has headlined multiple UFC Apex events. Although he recognizes Taira as a top opponent in the division, and he will have to deal with cutting weight a week earlier than expected, Park is confident he'll find a way to win. "He's a good MMA fighter, but not too great, so I think I'll be able to beat him," Park said. "... Tatsuro is a tricky fighter, so this makes me really excited and I'm ready for it." While Park acknowledges Taira's reach advantage might be a tough puzzle to solve, he believes he will figure it out in order to finish the fight early by knockout in Round 2 or 3. "I will smash Taira Tatsuro," Park said in English. "... I will break him."

Female tour guides in Afghanistan lead women-only groups as some travelers return
Related : Advertisement After hosting a traveler, 'I became very passionate about it and it was very interesting for me,' Moniry said. 'It was very unique. I have never heard about it before, so I said: 'Why not (do) this?'' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Zoe Stephens, 31, from Britain, took a selfie with other female tourists and Maryam (left), a local trainee tour guide, at Darul Aman Palace in Kabul, Afghanistan, on May 28. Ebrahim Noroozi/Associated Press Looking for the positive As she showed that first visitor around her hometown in western Afghanistan, she saw a new side to her country. 'Most of the things that we have heard (about Afghanistan) was just … negativity. The focus of the people, focus of the media, focus of headlines, all of them were just the negativity. And definitely we get influenced by that,' Moniry said. But for her, Afghanistan is far more nuanced. While there are undoubtedly problems in a place recovering from decades of war and chaos, there is also another side to the complex, stunning country. Her love for her homeland runs deep, and she is eager to share it. She hopes to gradually change people's perceptions. Advertisement 'Whenever … I saw all of that natures, all those beauty, all those positivity, it changed my view totally,' Moniry said in her enthusiastic English. 'And definitely this can be also for other people.' One of those visitors is Australian Suzanne Sandral. She originally wanted to see Afghanistan in the 1960s but the pressures of having a family kept her away. Now at 82, she was part of Moniry's women-only tour group in Kabul. Afghanistan surprised her. Female tourists visited Darul Aman Palace accompanied by three female tour guides in Kabul, Afghanistan, in May. Ebrahim Noroozi/Associated Press 'It's not what I expected at all. I expected to feel rather fearful. I expected to be given a lot of ... accusatory looks. Not at all,' she said during a pause in sightseeing. 'Wherever you go in the streets, if you smile at someone and give them a little nod or say hello, you get a terrific response. So it's very different.' Jackie Birov, a 35-year-old independent traveler from Chicago who was not part of the tour group, called the Afghan people 'unbelievably hospitable.' However, 'I'm very aware that I have a lot more freedom than local women,' she said. A fledgling industry Four decades of war have kept tourists away from Afghanistan. But while the Taliban's takeover of power in August 2021 sent thousands of Afghans fleeing and shocked the world, the end of its insurgency against the previous U.S.-backed government also marked a sharp drop in violence. Attacks still occasionally occur, mainly by an Islamic State affiliate, and Western countries advise against all travel to Afghanistan. Still, the improved security is increasingly attracting foreign visitors drawn by the dramatic scenery, millennia of history and a deeply ingrained culture of hospitality. Advertisement Tourism is a fledgling industry, with annual visitors in the low thousands. Most are independent adventure travelers. But guided package tours are increasing from countries as diverse as China, Greece, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Afghanistan's Taliban government is keen to welcome them. Isolated on the international stage — officially recognized only by Russia, which did so in July — the government sees how potentially lucrative tourism could be. Tourist visas, typically single-entry ones valid for stays of up to 30 days, have become relatively simple to obtain from the few embassies that issue them. Regular flights connect Kabul with major transit hubs such as Dubai and Istanbul.

Ebrahim Noroozi/Associated Press A question of ethics For some, the idea of visiting Afghanistan as a tourist is morally abhorrent, particularly given the government's treatment of women. Girls are banned from education above primary school level, and women live under myriad restrictions. The government dictates what they can wear in public, where they can go and who they can go with. They cannot walk in parks or eat in restaurants. Beauty salons are banned. A very limited number of professions, such as teaching and carpet weaving, are open to them. And the rules can change quickly. Related : But those involved in tourism point to the positive effects that visiting Afghanistan can have. 'I truly believe in ethical tourism,' said Zoe Stephens, 31, a British tour leader at Koryo Tours, a company specializing in unusual destinations. 'I believe that you can divide politics and people, and that is the main thing for me. … A country is not a sum of its politics. It's a sum of so much more, it's a sum of its culture, its history, its food, and especially in Afghanistan, its people.' Advertisement Maryam, a young Afghan on her first day of training to become a tour guide, helped Suzanne Sandral adjust her hijab in Kabul. Ebrahim Noroozi/Associated Press Glimpses into the women's world Of the three recent tours Stephens led in Afghanistan, two were women-only. Working with local female guides, including Moniry, they combine key attractions with visits to women's centers and cooking and embroidery classes from local women — worlds that are closed to male travelers. 'We always try and do something a little bit different that really makes our tours unique, as well as something that kind of gives back to the community,' Stephens said. 'So I felt that working with the female tour guides does both of those things really well.' The groups are small — one had eight women, the other three — but the company is looking to build a network of female guides across Afghanistan. 'What we try and do with this tour, especially the women's tour, is conquer those ethical concerns,' Stephens said. 'The idea is to learn about the lives of Afghan women in context.'
