Yasmim brace sends Brazil into Copa America semis with 4-1 win over Paraguay
QUITO, July 23 — Yasmim scored twice in the first half as defending champions Brazil reached the Women's Copa America semi-finals with a 4-1 victory over Group B rivals Paraguay in Quito yesterday. Yasmim opened the scoring in the 27th minute with a curling free kick that nestled inside the far post and she doubled Brazil's lead 12 minutes later with an almost identical effort, catching the Paraguayan keeper off guard once again. Brazil goalkeeper Lorena produced a superb save to deny a long-range strike from Claudia Martinez before Paraguay's Camila Arrieta was sent off after receiving a second yellow card for a foul on captain Marta. Brazil made their numerical advantage count with Amanda Gutierres making it 3-0 on the hour mark but a lapse in defence allowed Paraguay to pull one back in the 65th minute through the tournament's leading scorer Martinez, who notched her fifth goal of the competition. However, any hopes of a comeback were short-lived as Duda Sampaio restored Brazil's three-goal lead with a composed finish in the 75th minute. 'I'm very happy for the goals but above all for the result and for the victory,' Yasmim said at the Estadio Gonzalo Pozo Ripalda. 'We are very happy for the qualification to the semis. We have many aspects that we know we can improve. We have to keep working and giving our all for this shirt.' Brazil remain unbeaten in Group B and will face Colombia in their final group-stage fixture on Friday - a rematch of the previous edition's final. 'Colombia are a very strong team, we know it will be difficult,' Yasmim added. 'This match is like a derby, we have to prepare ourselves in the best way to face them.' — AFP

Late Chloe Kelly goal sends England into Women's Euro final after dramatic comeback against Italy
GENEVA, July 23 — England coach Sarina Wiegman said she felt 'many emotions' after her team produced another dramatic comeback to beat Italy in extra time yesterday and reach the final of the Women's Euro 2025. 'I have many emotions again. I feel relief, I feel happy—it feels a bit surreal but we are here and we are going to the final,' Wiegman said following the 2-1 win in Geneva, secured thanks to a Chloe Kelly goal in the 119th minute. Italy were seconds away from a shock victory over the defending champions and a place in the final as they led deep into injury time thanks to Barbara Bonansea's 33rd-minute goal. But substitute Michelle Agyemang equalised for England in the sixth minute of stoppage time to force the extra period, before Kelly—who had also come off the bench—followed in to score the deciding goal after her penalty had been saved, just as another shoot-out loomed. 'It does feel like a movie. When it finishes like that I am enjoying it but it was a little bit dramatic,' smiled Wiegman. Her team had already produced a stunning comeback against Sweden in the quarter-finals, when they trailed 2-0 before two goals by Lucy Bronze and Agyemang in the space of three minutes late on forced extra time and they eventually advanced on penalties. 'We know with the players we have in the squad that we can always score more because we have shown that multiple times,' Wiegman added. 'At the end we did it and then we got extra time, and then we got the penalty. We were a bit lucky to score it in the second stage but we are through.' • Three in a row England, who saw winger Lauren James come off at half-time with an ankle injury, will now go to Basel for the final on Sunday against either Spain or Germany—they meet in their last-four clash on Wednesday. It will be a third consecutive major tournament final for the Lionesses, who beat Germany in extra time in the Euro 2022 final at Wembley and then lost to Spain in the deciding game at the following year's World Cup in Sydney. 'That is what happens when a great team comes together and makes things happen—three consecutive finals playing under an unbelievable manager in Sarina,' said Kelly, the Arsenal forward who got the winner in the 2022 Euro final. 'It is incredible to be part of this special team. I am so proud.' She added: 'I can't believe what has just happened. The belief in the squad, the resilience and the togetherness in this group is just so special.' Meanwhile, Italy coach Andrea Soncin said he was proud of his team despite the agony of seeing the Azzurre fall just short of reaching a first final since the 1997 Euros. 'It hurts but we are very proud for all that we have done,' said Soncin, who took charge of the team in 2023 and is now eyeing the 2027 World Cup. 'The fact we were just a minute away from the final can be encouraging for us. 'We will need a few days to get over this bitter moment but we will keep growing, and our future goal is to go to the World Cup in Brazil so we are already looking forward.' — AFP

Alagendra at 96: Olympian, top cop and timeless hero
Evergreen icon P Alagendra made his mark in sport and law enforcement, but his greatest legacy is the love he inspired especially in his daughters (L-R): Anna Poorani, Shyamala Devi, Venkateswari, and Raja Rajesvari. (Anna Poorani pic) KUALA LUMPUR : Ask P Alagendra how it feels to be 96, and he won't give you a lecture on ageing or a meditation on legacy. He'll flash that trademark grin and say, 'Feels like extra time in a good match — you never know when the whistle will blow, but you play like it never will.' And just like that, the man who survived four assassination attempts, led Olympic squads, and helped shape Malaysian sport shrugs off nearly a century of extraordinary living as if it were just another matchday. Classic Alagendra, or Aly, — wry, wise, and always game. Aly has never needed medals to validate him or microphones to announce him. Surrounded by his four grandchildren, P Alagendra finds new joy in every laugh, hug, and curious question. (Anna Poorani pic) From the police barracks during the Emergency to the Olympic dugout in Melbourne, Tokyo and Montreal, he built his legend one purposeful step at a time. He was never the loudest voice in the room, just the one people listened to. A natural leader, a tactician in sports administration, and a man whose stories stretch far beyond the boundaries of any field. Today, there won't be a grand stage, a glittering guest list or booming speeches. Just a quiet lunch in the warm glow of family — four daughters, four grandchildren, and a few lifelong friends who've long known that Aly doesn't need a stage. He is the stage. They've heard the stories, but they still want to hear them again. Because when a man has lived through both history and heartbreak, and carried the hopes of a nation, every word he offers feels like gold. A patriot in motion Born in 1929 in Kajang and educated at King George V School in Seremban, Aly's journey reads like the biography of a country in motion — full of fire, heart, and the grit of a young Malaysia finding its place in the world. Long before the country even had a flag of its own, Aly was out on the field with a hockey stick, dreaming big. Chef de mission P Alagendra, behind flag bearer Mirnawan Nawawi, waving to the crowd at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. By 1956, he wasn't just dreaming. He was living it, representing Malaya at the Melbourne Olympics as part of the national hockey squad. It was the squad that first carried our flag, and our hopes, onto the global sporting stage. Off the field, Aly's life took an even more thrilling turn. Against his father's wishes, he joined the police force in 1950, diving straight into the volatile theatre of the Emergency and the Communist insurgency. He survived four assassination attempts, including a grenade blast at the police field force headquarters on Jalan Pekeliling, Kuala Lumpur, that killed five of his men. Somehow, between security patrols and intelligence briefings, he kept his love for sport alive. More than alive, he nurtured it into something national. The builder behind the bench Aly wasn't just a player; he was a coach at the 1964 Tokyo Games, a manager at Mexico 1968 and Montreal 1972, and later the chef de mission at Sydney 2000. Whether leading from the bench or behind the scenes, he brought structure, discipline, and heart to Malaysian hockey long before sports science and slogans took over. From 1958 to 2005, Aly was the quiet engine behind Malaysian hockey's golden decades. He was player, selector, coach, manager, vice-president, deputy president of the Malaysian Hockey Federation, and secretary-general of the Asian Hockey Federation for nearly 25 years. Aly didn't just attend meetings; he moved the game forward with the kind of integrity and foresight that can't be taught. His vision, tireless efforts and diplomatic charm earned him the FIH Order of Merit in 2000 and honorary life presidency of Asian hockey. He measured success by how many young players got their shot, how many veterans were looked after, and how often Malaysia punched above its weight. P Alagendra as a young police officer (left) and in his later years as a distinguished gentleman of sport. (Family pics) As co-founder of the Malaysia Olympians Association, he ensured athletes weren't discarded after their medals stopped shining. He helped launch the Malaysian Hockey Foundation in 1992 to provide former players with educational and financial assistance, and the MHF Academy in 2011 in Ipoh to groom future stars. Aly wanted continuity, not ceremony. Legacy, not limelight. It wasn't just hockey. Give him a ball, any ball, and he was in his happy place. He was vice-president of the Football Association of Selangor, the Malaysian Cricket Association, and a player who represented five states across multiple disciplines. He helped organise the 1975 Hockey World Cup, 1998 Commonwealth Games hockey tournament, as well as the 2002 Hockey World Cup, all in Kuala Lumpur. For journalists, he was a paradox, disarmingly funny and unfailingly exact. He'd correct your facts without flinching, then ask how your child was doing. It wasn't charm, not really. It was consistency. He treated people the way he treated sport — seriously, but never unkindly. When the late Sultan Azlan Shah, another towering figure in Malaysian hockey, called Aly a brother-in-arms, it wasn't flattery. It was fact. Together, they lifted the game into a cultural force. Their friendship would stretch across decades and culminate in the creation of the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup, one of Asia's most prestigious invitational tournaments.

(Family pic) Today, photos of Aly and Sultan Azlan grace the walls of 'Aly's Gallery,' a personal museum of sorts inside his office at Kajang Plaza, fittingly located on a road named after him. Aly bought the land where the house of his father, Ponnudurai, stood and the surrounding area, and built Kajang Plaza with 36 shop units. Worthy of ovation Despite losing his beloved wife, criminal lawyer Saraswathy Devi, two years ago, Aly remains the centre of a family that reflects his values: perseverance without drama, grace under fire, and deep, unwavering loyalty. His daughters, Raja Rajesvari, Venkateswari, Anna Poorani and Shyamala Devi, all lawyers, carry his principled strength. Shyamala, a renowned international lawyer specialising in human rights, is married to Karim Khan, chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.

'With Papa, I was always seen, always heard, and always held in the highest regard,' she said. 'That kind of love stays with you.' And so today, as the stories about police crackdowns, hockey finals, bureaucratic blunders, and press room punchlines resurface, Aly will smile the way he always does: mischievously, modestly, like he had nothing to do with any of it. There will be the sound of clinking glasses and soft laughter. And in that moment, you will understand: this, too, is a kind of stadium. A private one. Lit by memories. Cheered by those who know what it really means to serve. At 96, the former Selangor chief police officer doesn't ask for fanfare, but he deserves an ovation. Not for surviving. Not even for serving. But for showing us dignity doesn't need a drumroll. That life, like sport, should always be played with heart. He said: 'I've lived through war, sport, politics, and love at full throttle. And I've learned this — if you serve something greater than yourself, you'll never feel small. Thank you for letting me live a big life.' So here's to Alagendra — still in extra time, still playing beautifully, and still telling better stories than all the trophies in the cabinet.
