Tamworth 1-2 Scunthorpe United
Tamworth 1 - 2 Scunthorpe United FT
Oliver Ewing scored the winner on his debut as newly-promoted Scunthorpe claimed a 2-1 victory at Tamworth in their opening National League fixture.
Danny Whitehall curled an excellent free-kick over the wall and into the far corner to give the Iron an early lead.
Haydn Hollis fired Tamworth's equaliser, in off the crossbar from a half-cleared throw-in, but Scunthorpe regained the lead before the break through Ewing's neat finish after Whitehall's step-over.
Tamworth went close to a second-half equaliser when debutant Jack Evans' effort hit a post before play was briefly halted when the referee was summoned to the dugouts after an object had been thrown onto the pitch.

How to watch Crystal Palace vs Liverpool: TV channel and live stream for Community Shield today
Premier League champions Liverpool and FA Cup winners Crystal Palace face off this afternoon at Wembley in the traditional season curtain-raiser. The Reds were crowned the best team in England at a canter last season, and have embarked on remarkable spending spree since with almost £300million spent on Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Hugo Ekitike. All four are expected to start at Wembley today, as they take on an Eagles team who won the first major trophy of their long history at the same stadium in May. Manchester City were beaten that day, can they claim another huge scalp? It has been a far less successful summer for Palace, who will find out on Monday if they have been reinstated into the Europa League after being demoted to the Conference League due to UEFA's rules on multi-club ownership. Before then, though, it will be a celebration for both teams' recent successes as they look to get their hands on another piece of silverare before the new campaign begins. Where to watch Community Shield today TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on TNT Sports 1, with coverage starting at 2pm BST ahead of the 3pm kick-off.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray explains interception against Chiefs in preseason opener
The Arizona Cardinals opened their preseason schedule on Saturday with a 20-17 win over the Kansas City Chiefs at State Farm Stadium. They rallied back from a 14-3 second-quarter deficit. The starting offense played just over a quarter, playing two possessions and scoring three points. Quarterback Kyler Murray both looked good in his limited time on the field, but he also threw a critical interception in the red zone of the Cardinals' first possession. Murray explained what happened after the game. Essentially, he underthrew the ball. 'I just didn't get enough on it," he said postgame. "That's something that in practice, I'm never really rolling out full speed as if somebody's actually going to tackle me. It's kind of weird to explain. I've just got to get more on it. I'm glad it happened though, because I would hate for that to be New Orleans, and it means something.' Chiefs safety Jaden Hicks also baited the throw. Hicks made it look like he was coming back down to cover Trey McBride, who was closer to the line of scrimmage and at the sideline, leading Murray to believe that he could just drop the throw in over the top to get to Marvin Harrison Jr. Murray, who hadn't played in the preseason since 2021, was happy to get full-speed reps and have to make throws against players who are allowed to hit and tackle him. Even in full-speed practices, it isn't the same for Murray, as defenders are not allowed to hit the quarterback or tackle players to the ground. "That's something that you can't replicate in practice, moving around at the speed that you're moving at, going left to right lateral, having guys move and bodies moving," he said. We don't know yet whether or not Murray will get anymore preseason action. Starters traditionally do not play in the final game, and the Cardinals will have a joint practice this coming week ahead of their preseason game against the Denver Broncos. The last two years, following joint practices, the Cardinals' starters have not played. While no one wants to see Murray turn the ball over, the offense ran well. He completed all his other passes, getting the ball to five different pass catchers. They moved the ball. They just didn't finish their drives. If that is all Murray does in the preseason, it should give some good momentum toward the regular season.

Brewers rally past Mets 7-4 for 8th straight win, spoiling Alonso's record-tying homer
MILWAUKEE -- William Contreras homered to cap a four-run seventh inning and the Milwaukee Brewers rallied past the skidding New York Mets 7-4 on Saturday for their eighth consecutive victory, spoiling Pete Alonso's record-tying night. Alonso opened the second inning with his 252nd career home run, matching the franchise record held by Darryl Strawberry for 37 years. But the Mets lost their sixth straight game and 10th in the last 11 to fall 4 1/2 games behind first-place Philadelphia in the NL East. New York is only 2 1/2 games ahead of Cincinnati for the final National League playoff spot. Juan Soto went deep for the third game in a row, giving the Mets a 4-3 lead when he led off the fifth with his 28th homer of the season. Starling Marte also hit a solo shot for New York. Milwaukee rallied in the seventh. Brice Turang singled and Joey Ortiz blooped a double off Ryne Stanek (2-6) with one out. Turang scored the tying run on Sal Frelick's groundout to shortstop. Ryan Helsley relieved and Isaac Collins delivered an RBI single on a sharp grounder that deflected off third baseman Ronny Mauricio's arm. Contreras followed with a two-run homer to make it 7-4. Jared Koenig (4-1) got the win with a scoreless inning. Trevor Megill tossed a scoreless ninth for his 28th save in 31 opportunities. The Mets went up 3-2 in the fourth on Cedric Mullins' RBI single. Turang tied it in the bottom half with his 10th homer. Milwaukee went up 2-1 with two unearned runs in the second when shortstop Francisco Lindor failed to corral Ortiz's two-out bouncer up the middle with the bases loaded for a two-run error. Marte pulled the Mets even in the third with his sixth homer. It appeared Contreras flied out to end the seventh — but Helsley was called for a pitch clock violation as he delivered. Contreras hit the next pitch out to left-center for his 10th homer. Shelby Miller, acquired from Arizona at the July 31 trade deadline, made his Brewers debut with a scoreless sixth inning. Brewers RHP Quinn Priester (11-2, 3.15 ERA), who has won 10 straight decisions, starts Sunday against Mets LHP Sean Manaea (1-1, 3.52).
