Wolfsburg routs 5th-tier team Hemelingen 9-0 in German Cup
BERLIN (AP) — Wolfsburg routed fifth-tier SV Hemelingen 9-0 in the first round of the German Cup on Saturday, when other Bundesliga teams also enjoyed big wins over lower-league opposition. Two-time champion Leipzig twice came from behind to beat fourth-tier SV Sandhausen 4-2 with new signings Ezechiel Banzuzi and Yan Diomande both scoring. Heidenheim won 5-0 at 10-man fourth-tier Bahlinger SC and Hoffenheim won 4-0 at third-division Hansa Rostock. Hamburger SV, which clinched its return to the Bundesliga last season, survived a scare at fifth-tier Pirmasens, equalizing late to send the match to extra time, where Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer headed the winner for 2-1. Königsdörffer was only playing for Hamburg because a proposed early August move to Nice broke down after his medical check with the French team. Bochum also needed a late goal to level before prevailing 3-1 at nine-man Dynamo Berlin. ___ AP soccer:

Report – Inter Milan Unsure What Position To Spend On With Two Weeks Left To Go In Transfer Window
Inter Milan are reportedly unsure of which position on the pitch to spend on in the last couple weeks of the transfer window. This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. They report that the Nerazzurri have around €40 million more to invest in the market. Inter Milan have already made a few signings this summer. The Nerazzurri have brought in midfielder Petar Sucic, wingback Luis Henrique, and striker Ange-Yoan Bonny. However, Inter have been quiet in the market for the past several weeks. At least in terms of actually getting deals done. Inter have been strongly linked with a move for Atalanta's Ademola Lookman for a month. They have reportedly gone as high as €45 million with their bids for the Nigerian. Meanwhile, this past week Inter reportedly made an offer for Roma midfielder Manu Kone. Inter Milan Unsure Where To Invest In Last Two Weeks Of Transfer Window According to Sky Sport Italia, Inter still aren't quite sure where they're going to make a signing. There are a number of possibilities. Signing a forward or a holding a midfielder would both be potential options. But on the other hand, Inter could also decide to sign a defender. They have already missed out on the likes of Koni De Winter and Giovanni Leoni. According to Sky Sport Italia, Inter have around €40 million left to spend. However, the broadcaster report, the Nerazzurri still haven't made a firm decision on where to invest it. They will wait to see what opportunities open up before deadline day.

Sunderland beat West Ham on return to Premier League
Sunderland marked their return to the Premier League in style with a 3-0 win over West Ham at the Stadium of Light. Following an eight-year absence from the top flight, the Black Cats withstood some promising attacks spearheaded by Hammers captain Jarrod Bowen in the first half and after the break it was their Championship play-off heroes who proved to be the difference. They went ahead through Eliezer Mayenda's header and Dan Ballard soon extended the advantage, nodding home into the same spot as his last-gasp winner against Coventry in the play-off semi-finals. Substitute Wilson Isidor struck in added time to wrap up three points in Sunderland's first Premier League appearance since May 2017. Sunderland have made 11 signings so far this window and seven of those new arrivals were handed their first starts, with Trai Hume, Ballard and Mayenda the sole survivors from the starting XI who beat Sheffield United in the Championship play-off final. There were two new signings making their West Ham debuts as El Hadji Malick Diouf and goalkeeper Mads Hermansen both started and new signing Callum Wilson made the bench. Bowen threatened in the early stages, weaving through the home defence and forced a low stop from Robin Roefs at his near post before Hermansen denied Habib Diarra at the other end. The visitors began to grow in confidence, with Bowen causing particular problems and the Hammers skipper was at the heart of a brilliant chance, beginning a move which saw Diouf blast a first-time effort on goal, but Ballard made a superb block. As half-time approached, Sunderland won a series of corners, where Hermansen made a comfortable collection from Ballard's header. The hosts had an early opportunity in the second half when Mayenda managed to keep the ball in and cut a pass back into Simon Adingra, but he sliced his effort wide. Regis Le Bris made an enforced change as Jenson Seelt was taken off with an injury while challenging for the ball and Omar Alderete – who joined the club on Tuesday – came on for his debut. Diarra continued to impress for the hosts, winning a corner following a good break down the right before blasting an effort over the bar. Mayenda then found the breakthrough for Sunderland in the 61st minute when Alderete fired a looping cross into the box and the striker jumped high to nod into the bottom corner. West Ham made a double substitution as Tomas Soucek and former Newcastle striker Wilson were introduced, but the hosts extended their lead in the 73rd minute. Adingra picked out Ballard on the left side of the box and the centre-half fired a header into the bottom corner. The Hammers looked to strike in the final stages, but Bowen's flicked header from a corner was blocked and Soucek's tame effort was held by Roefs. The Sunderland goalkeeper made a great stop to tip Wilson's deflected header from a free-kick over the bar in the 88th minute. Isidor then capped off an impressive afternoon for Sunderland two minutes into added time after cutting in from the left and rolling a cool finish into the corner.
