Germany's Kathrin Hendrich red-carded for hair-pulling in Euro 2025 quarterfinal
The Video Assistant Referee spotted Germany midfielder Kathrin Hendrich yanking the ponytail of France captain Griedge Mbock as a free kick was floated into the area.
With less than 13 minutes played, Hendrich was shown a red card and moments later Grace Geyoro converted the resulting penalty to give France a 1-0 lead in Saturday's quarterfinal.
It was a somewhat unusual red card but the second such incident in the space of less than a week.
Paris Saint-Germain midfielder João Neves was sent off for pulling down Marc Cucurella by his hair, towards the end of
Chelsea's 3-0 victory
in the trophy match of the Club World Cup last Sunday.

Romano's latest report suggests Chelsea could trade unwanted attacker for winger
With so much of their incoming business done, there's a big focus on sales at Chelsea. One player who was considered untouchable not long ago but now is potentially leaving is Nicolas Jackson. The striker has plunged from first choice forward, after two years leading the line, to what appears to be third choice behind Liam Delap and Joao Pedro now after the two new additions impressed at the Club World Cup. Romano on Man U interest in Chelsea regular Nicolas Jackson celebrates scoring against Liverpool. (Photo by Darren Walsh/Chelsea FC via Getty Images) So far Manchester United have shown the most interest, and Fabrizio Romano has been on top of this story all the way along, and followed up with more information today on his Youtube channel: 'For sure a striker remains a priority for Manchester United,' the transfer insiders explained. 'I told you earlier in the week that Nicolas Jackson is an option. They are aware about his situation. At the moment I'm not aware of any talks going on with Chelsea. But from what I'm told, Man U are informed about Jackson. They know the player is not untouchable at Chelsea and so they are aware of the eventual conditions for his exit this summer. While at Chelsea there's still an appreciation of Alejandro Garnacho for example, so maybe that could be a scenario. But at the moment it's not a negotiation, there's no club to club talks.' You can see Romano speaking in the clip embedded here: Man U striker panic playing into Chelsea's hands Manchester United's push for a striker could really play into Chelsea's hands here. Liverpool have just snapped up Hugo Ekitike and Arsenal appear to be close to signing Viktor Gyokeres. That could leave United empty handed, without a number 9 they can rely on, and Jackson might become their best option. The swap deal for Garnacho doesn't sound too tempting to us, but that's because we don't really want the winger. We can definitely see Chelsea's sporting directors considering him a market opportunity.

Owen's debut half-century and wicket propel Australia to T20 win over West Indies
KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — Mitchell Owen marked his international debut with a half-century and a wicket to help Australia to a three-wicket win in the Twenty20 cricket series opener against West Indies. Owen shared an 80-run fifth-wicket stand off 40 deliveries with Cameron Green, who scored 51 off 26 balls, to put Australia on course to reach the victory target of 190 with seven balls to spare on Sunday. After being sent in to bat and making a flying start, West Indies was restricted to 189-8 after losing four wickets for five runs off the last nine balls. Australian fast bowler Ben Dwarshuis returned a career-best 4-36, taking three wickets in four deliveries — Jason Holder blocked a hat-trick ball but was out next delivery — in the next-to-last over of the West Indies innings. The top four West Indies batters all got starts, with Roston Chase plundering 60 from 32 deliveries before he was caught in the deep off Dwarshuis' bowling to end a 91-run second-wicket partnership with Shai Hope (55) in the 13th over. Anotehr win has given Australia, coming off a 3-0 test series sweep , an early lead in the five-game T20 series. Owen, a Tasmanian allrounder who opened the batting with success for the Hobart Hurricanes in the domestic T20 league last season, joined David Warner and Ricky Ponting as Australians who've scored a half-century on debut in the format. 'Firstly happy we got the win — it was nice to contribute,' he said. 'Just nice to be mentioned with those class players.' ___ AP cricket:

Majors-best Tigers end 6-game skid with All-Star Tarik Skubal's strong start
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — It was naturally a superb start by Tarik Skubal that resulted in a 2-1 Detroit Tigers win over the Texas Rangers on Sunday night that ended a season-worst six-game losing streak for the team with the best record in the major leagues. However, Skubal didn't get credit for the victory. The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner and starter in Tuesday's All-Star Game cruised into the seventh inning with a two-hit shutout and a tenuous 1-0 lead. He left with runners at the corners and two outs, and the Rangers' Adolis García scored on a wild pitch by Tyler Holton. But Detroit's Matt Vierling hit a tiebreaking single with two outs in the eighth inning, and Will Vest entered in the eighth and got four straight outs — against the top four batters in Texas' order — for his 16th save for the Tigers (60-40). Skubal left the park still with 10 wins (one shy of the AL lead), 164 strikeouts (one behind Boston's Garrett Crochet) and a 2.19 ERA (tied with Crochet for the best in the American League). 'We're the first to 60, right? That matters more (than his personal stats),' Skubal said. 'We just haven't particularly been playing our best baseball, I don't think, for the last couple weeks. That's just part of the season. Not from lack of effort or anything like that. But I knew I wanted to win today. I expect every time I go out there to put our team in position to win, and we were able to do that.' Skubal struck out 11 and walked none in his seventh double-digit strikeout game this season. His final batter was a strikeout of Jonah Heim that left him at 105 pitches, three short of his career high. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Skubal 'emptied his tank' on the Heim at-bat and made the pitching change to avoid overworking him. 'If we're going anywhere (this season), we're going with him,' Hinch said. Two of Texas' four hits off Skubal were by Corey Seager, the lone left-handed hitter in the starting lineup against the lefty Skubal. Seager went 2 for 3 off Skubal, improving to 8 for 12 in his career. Skubal said he asked Seager during last year's All-Star festivities: 'Bro, how do I get you out? Can you tell me?' Seager, Skubal said, politely declined and claimed not to see the ball well when hitting against him. 'When he's right, the stuff he does at the dish, the best in the league,' Skubal said. Skubal is again among the best in baseball on the mound. He did his part in ending what was the majors' longest active losing streak, even without getting a personal W. ___ AP MLB:
