Noah Eile scores 1st MLS goal, Coronel has 5 saves to help Red Bulls beat Montreal 1-0
Eile, a 6-foot-5 22-year-old defender, went up high for a
header
off a corner kick played in by Omar Valencia that slipped inside the back post to give the Red Bulls (4-3-3) a 1-0 lead.
Montreal (0-7-3) has scored four goals this season, the fewest in MLS, and has been shut out seven times — including each of the last three games. The club's minus-10 goal differential is tied for worst in the league with the only other remaining winless team, and the defending MLS Cup champions, the LA Galaxy.
Owen Graham-Roache made his MLS debut when he replaced Prince Owusu to begin the second half for Montreal. The 17-year-old homegrown finished with one shot on target.
The Red Bulls, who had 58.5% possession but didn't record a shot on goal in the first half, immediately applied pressure in the second half, putting five shots on net — four in the first five minutes — before Eile opened the scoring.
Sébastian Breza had five saves for Montreal.
Coronel has four shutouts this season.

Carlos Alcaraz, Emma Raducanu lose in first round of U.S Open mixed doubles event
The much-hyped pairing of Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu was bounced in the first round of the new U.S. Open mixed doubles event on Tuesday. Alcaraz, the No. 2 men's player in the world, and Raducanu, the 35th-ranked women's player, are both former U.S. Open singles champions. Yet they lost 4-2, 4-2 against the top-seeded team of Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula in a match that lasted less than one hour. The mixed-doubles event has drawn criticism this year for a new format that prioritizes singles stars over teams that specialize in doubles play. Instead of a 32-team field, there were only 16 teams in the tournament this year. Half the field was determined by players' singles rankings, while the remaining eight teams were selected by the U.S. Tennis Association. The prize money is also significantly higher, with the winners taking home $1 million compared to only $200,000 last year. The gameplay and timing of the tournament were also changed, with sets being played to only four games, and the two-day event taking place before the singles as something of a tune-up. 'It would be like if, at the Olympics, they didn't let the actual high jumpers participate, and instead had basketball players compete in the high jump because it's more 'interesting,' Sara Errani, who won the doubles event with Andrea Vavassori last year, told the Associated Press earlier this week. 'If you want to do that, I guess you can, but you can't award them medals. You can't have a Grand Slam doubles (trophy) and not let doubles players take part. ... You're excluding them from their sport. It's dishonest.' British player Joe Salisbury told the AP the decision to include singles stars "does bring a bit more attention to it." "But I'm not sure it's good for the doubles event, because it's not really a proper event. It's just a two-day exhibition." The mixed-doubled tournament will conclude on Wednesday.

NASCAR's 2026 schedule shake-up: New street race, Chicagoland's return, and more
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR in 2026 will race on a new street course in San Diego, return Chicagoland Speedway to the schedule, move the All-Star race to Dover, Delaware, and end its 38-race season back at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The schedule released Wednesday includes two off weekends on a calendar that stretches from February to November. It begins with the exhibition Clash on Feb. 1 at Bowman-Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem for the second consecutive year, with the season-opening Daytona 500 to follow on Feb. 15. The season ends Nov. 8 in Florida at Homestead, which hosted the championship-deciding finale for 18 consecutive years before NASCAR shifted it to Phoenix Raceway in 2020. The race at Phoenix was given a different date in the playoffs and NASCAR is expected to rotate the season finale to various venues in ensuing years. Chicagoland is reopening after a six-year hiatus and a switch back to the track located in suburban Joliet after three seasons on a temporary street circuit in downtown Chicago. The San Diego event will be held on a military base in Coronado. To add Chicagoland and San Diego, NASCAR dropped the Chicago street race and will not return to Mexico City, where it held the first international Cup Series points race since the 1950s. A return to Mexico City in 2026 became difficult to schedule because of soccer's World Cup. NASCAR also moved Watkins Glen in New York from its traditional August date to Mother's Day weekend and the all-star race from North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, to Dover so that North Wilkesboro will be a points-paying Cup race, and New Hampshire lost its playoff race to become the penultimate race of the regular season. There also are two off weekends after just one this season, which ends with 28 straight races. Feb. 1 — Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium Feb. 15 — Daytona 500 Feb. 22 — Atlanta March 1 — Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas March 8 — Phoenix March 15 — Las Vegas March 22 — Darlington, South Carolina March 29 — Martinsville, Virginia April 5 — off weekend April 12 — Bristol, Tennessee April 19 — Kansas April 26 — Talladega, Alabama May 3 — Texas May 10 — Watkins Glen May 17 — All-Star Race (Dover) May 24 — Coca-Cola 600 (Charlotte) May 31 — Nashville, Tennessee June 7 — Michigan June 14 — Pocono in Long Pond, Pennsylvania June 21 — San Diego June 28 — Sonoma, California July 5 — Chicagoland July 12 — Atlanta July 19 — North Wilkesboro July 26 — Brickyard 400 (Indianapolis) Aug. 2 — off weekend Aug. 9 — Iowa Aug. 15 — Richmond, Virginia Aug. 23 — New Hampshire Aug. 29 — Daytona, Florida Sept. 6 — Darlington Sept. 13 — Gateway in Madison, Illinois Sept. 19 — Bristol Sept. 27 — Kansas Oct. 4 — Las Vegas Oct. 11 — Charlotte Roval Oct. 18 — Phoenix Oct. 25 — Talladega Nov. 1 — Martinsville Nov. 8 — Homestead ___

Norway soccer federation says it will donate profits from Israel game to humanitarian work in Gaza
GENEVA (AP) — Norway's soccer federation says it 'cannot remain indifferent' to humanitarian suffering in Gaza and will donate any profits from an upcoming World Cup qualifying game against Israel to aid work there. Norway plays Israel in Oslo on Oct. 11. 'Neither we nor other organizations can remain indifferent to the humanitarian suffering and disproportionate attacks that the civilian population in Gaza has been subjected to for a long time,' Norwegian Football Federation President Lise Klaveness said in a statement Tuesday. 'We want to donate the proceeds to a humanitarian organization that saves lives in Gaza every day and provides active emergency aid on the ground,' she said. It wasn't immediately clear how much the Norwegian federation expected to earn through ticket sales for the match, which begin next week. The Israeli soccer federation responded to the move on Wednesday by urging its Norwegian counterpart also to condemn the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks and hostage-taking by Hamas. In a statement first published by British daily The Telegraph, the Israeli federation also called on the Norwegians to 'make sure that the money is not transferred to terrorist organizations or to whale hunting,' referring to an issue Norway has faced global criticism for. The Norwegian federation said it is working with UEFA and local police on security arrangements for the Oct. 11 game. Extra security is expected to limit capacity by up to 3,000 tickets, the federation said. Ullevaal Stadium typically has crowds of 26,000 for national-team games. Israel has been unable to host games in international competitions for security reasons since October 2023. It staged its 'home' qualifying game against Norway in Hungary. Norway won that game 4-2 in March. ___
