Chelsea-bound Kazakh wonderkid, 16, sends Celtic warning as shock 90th minute spot kick hints at gruelling Almaty trip
DASTAN SATPAEV is only 16 years old and is already regarded as the biggest footballing prospect to come out of Kazakhstan. He's already agreed to join Chelsea next summer - and he's just shown Celtic exactly why by scoring a nerveless last minute penalty as Kairat Almaty ran out shock 1-0 first leg winners against Slovan Bratislava. 4 Dastan Satpaev in action for Kazakhstan Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 4 Dastan Satpaev of Kazakhstan during the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifier Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 4 Dastan Satpayev of Kairat Almaty looks a massive talent Credit: Alamy Celtic will take on the winners of this tie in the play-off round - with travel to Almaty a major obstacle to contend with. It was all too much for the Slovaks to take with midfielder Rahim Ibrahim send off just after the hour mark, then the Slovakian outfit's manager Vladimir Weiss sent off for protesting in the dying stages. The manager - son of Rangers star Vladimir, who also played in the match - was infuriated about the penalty award, given for a shirt tug in a crowded box by Danylo Ignatenko. But things could even have been worse for the Bratislava - with more magic from Satpaev leading to a disallowed 'goal' in the 96th minute, eventually ruled out for a line ball offside after a lengthy VAR intervention.

Edmund, who once assisted against Mohun Bagan, returns to East Bengal as its new No. 10
East Bengal officially announced India forward Edmund Lalrindika as its new No. 10, signing him on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee this summer. This will be his second stint at the club, with the 26-year-old previously playing here on loan from Bengaluru FC in the 2019-20 season. He had assisted on his East Bengal debut in a Kolkata derby against Mohun Bagan on January 19, 2020, but an injury in the same game cut his time short. 'I've always dreamed of returning to East Bengal. I sustained an injury on my debut during my first stint. It couldn't get more unfortunate because it happened during a derby at the VYBK (Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan),' Edmund said. 'Now that I am back, I believe I have some unfinished business here.' The forward takes over the No. 10 jersey from captain Cleiton Silva, who had led the side to the Super Cup last year. However, after falling out with head coach Oscar Bruzon, he mutually terminated his contract last season. 'Edmund is just fresh from an outstanding season with Inter Kashi, even earning well-deserved national team call-ups. We've been tracking his performances very closely,' Bruzon said. 'I am happy because we've secured a player who is growing in stature and can truly make a difference in diverse attacking situations.' Hailing from Mizoram, Edmund is a versatile attacker capable of playing as a centre-forward, winger and attacking midfielder. In the 2024-25 season, Edmund played 1,846 minutes across 24 matches for Inter Kashi, scoring four goals and providing six assists. The 26-year-old was a standout performer in the past two editions of the I-League, scoring eight goals and providing 13 assists. A product of the AIFF Elite Academy, Edmund was part of the Bengaluru FC set-up from 2019 to 2024, before joining Inter Kashi on loan in 2023. The young forward has also represented India at the U-14, U-16, U-19 and senior levels. He made his senior national team debut in a FIFA World Cup Qualifier against Kuwait on June 6, 2024. 'Edmund's return is a massive boost for us. His proven track record, versatility and familiarity with East Bengal's ethos and passionate fan base make him an exciting addition. We believe he will play a pivotal role in our ambition to chase and win major titles,' Thangboi Singto, the club's Head of Football, said.

Israel-Iran conflict hits Inter Milan as Italian giants set to miss Mehdi Taremi's services in FIFA Club World Cup 2025
The Israel-Iran conflict has turned out to be a setback for Inter Milan as the Italian football giants are likely to miss the services of Mehdi Taremi at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. Taremi, who is an Iranian national, is struck in his country after it shut its airspace due to the military exchange between the two countries. Taremi, who was a part of the national team earlier this week, played against North Korea in a 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifier in Tehran on Tuesday. However, the air strikes between the two countries, and no flights to fly with for the past two days, left Taremi unable to join his Inter Milan teammates in Los Angeles. Inter Milan are scheduled to open their FIFA Club World Cup 2025 campaign against Mexican club Monterrey on June 18 at the iconic Rose Bowl stadium in California. Media reports in Italy confirmed Taremi's absence from Inter Milan's opener as well as the entire competition. 'The Iranian striker will not join the Nerazzurri, neither for the first match nor for the others,' Italian sports newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport reported. 'Inter have been in close contact with the Iranian authorities in Italy over the last 24 hours to comfort the player and try (to find) a solution that is currently impossible. The player is in Tehran in a safe place and sheltered from the bombings,' the report added. The 32-year-old Taremi joined Inter Milan in 2024 from Porto on a free transfer. In his 43 appearances for Inter Milan so far, Taremi netted thrice and assisted seven times. He also played a crucial part in Inter Milan's runners-up finish to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final a few days ago. Inter Milan have been drawn in Group E at FIFA Club World Cup 2025 alongside Monterrey, Argentinian club River Plate and Japanese side Urawa Red Diamonds. After their game against Monterrey, Inter Milan will play Urawa Red Diamonds on June 22 and River Plate on June 26

FIFA World Cup Qualifying: Brazil qualify for next year's World Cup; Carlo Ancelotti picks first win as manager
Vinicius Jr. scored the only goal in Brazil's 1-0 win over Paraguay in a FIFA World Cup Qualifier. (Getty Images) Brazil secured their spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a 1-0 victory over Paraguay at home on Tuesday, marking the first win under new coach Carlo Ancelotti. Vinicius Jr.'s goal in the 44th minute ensured Brazil's qualification for the tournament to be held across Canada, the United States, and Mexico. The five-time world champions, who hold the distinction of appearing in every World Cup edition, took the lead when Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr. scored from close range after receiving a cross from Manchester United's new signing Matheus Cunha. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The qualification scenario emerged after Uruguay defeated Venezuela 2-0 in Montevideo earlier on Tuesday. This result meant Paraguay needed only a point to qualify, while Brazil required a win to advance. Brazil struggled to create opportunities in the first half, with Cunha missing a clear chance in the 35th minute when he headed wide from close range. However, he made amends by setting up the winning goal, utilising Raphinha's build-up play to enter the box and deliver a low cross for Vinicius to score. The victory positions Brazil in third place in the South American standings, accumulating 25 points from 16 games. This guarantees them a top-six finish and automatic qualification for the World Cup. Paraguay remain on 24 points following the defeat. They now need just one point to qualify for their first World Cup appearance since 2010.

Unfortunately for Poland, their superstar player, Robert Lewandowski, will not be playing in these qualifying matches. Initially, this was due to not being fit to play, but it was later revealed that he does not want to play for Polish coach Michal Probierz. He will be a massive loss for the club, but they still have confidence they can rally without him, and might be better off, chemistry-wise. The Finland squad will rely on some combination of Oliver Antman and Joel Pohjanpalo on the offensive side of things. They have both scored a goal in three international matches and will look to take advantage of a Lewandowski-less Poland team. They are second in Group G, right behind their competitor in this matchup. This is a great World Cup qualifier matchup; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
