📹 Corinthians fall short, lose and are out of the Sudamericana
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. Corinthians needed to win on Argentine soil to avoid depending on a slip-up from América de Cali. They faced a Huracán side that—focused on the upcoming Apertura final in Argentina—rested nine of their regular starters in the initial lineup. But Timão didn't even do their part: they lost 1-0 and are ELIMINATED from the Copa Sudamericana. They were actually qualified for a moment during the unexpected partial defeat of the Colombian team to Racing. But they were left out after América—who had won only one game in Group C—found a 1-1 equalizer in the 95th minute. This exit comes after Corinthians had already failed to reach the group stage of the Libertadores. Check out the best moments of the match below (Available only in Brazil) They had the ball, but... Corinthians had more possession already in the first half. But they struggled to create against a well-organized opponent in their own half. It was a game more 'fought' than 'played' before halftime. The best chance of the first half was Sequeira's, who was denied by Hugo Souza. Timão only really threatened when Martínez found himself in a good position, but sent it over the bar. Huracán scores, unexpected goal and tension and... ELIMINATION! Dorival bet on Talles Magno for the second half. But saw Huracán strike lethally before the second minute. Recovered and out for two months, Garro was brought on earlier than expected. Corinthians needed at least a draw, since América de Cali was also stumbling. Garro's entrance—back after two months—breathed new life into Timão. The Argentine midfielder even nearly scored from a free kick. Then the unexpected happened in Colombia. After a completely misguided play by goalkeeper Soto, Fonseca pounced on the rebound and scored for Racing—who were being completely dominated. Timão complained about a penalty on Garro. And kept trying. At the same time, América de Cali fought in front of their fans against the great performance of Amade and his teammates. Their fight was rewarded in the 95th minute, when the Corinthians match had already ended. Jean Pestaña was the hero for Cali. And the villain for the black-and-whites. FINAL situation in the group 📊 Huracán was already qualified. And secured first place—and a direct spot in the round of 16—by reaching 14 points. América de Cali struggled, but earned a point against Racing, celebrated Corinthians' defeat, and advanced. They finished with the same eight points, but go to the playoffs for having a better goal difference (two to zero). On Sunday (the 1st), Timão will host Vitória at Neo Química Arena. This match is for the 11th round of the Brasileirão—the last before the break for the World Cup. 📸 EITAN ABRAMOVICH - AFP or licensors

How a bike with a distinct horn helped Vasai police crack gold heist case
It was a late-night heist that had the Vasai police flummoxed. In January this year, gold jewellery worth over Rs 70 lakh was stolen from a shop in the city. The accused? Two armed men who wore masks and helmets to commit the crime, leaving behind no clues. Or so they thought. It was late at night on January 10 when jeweller Ratanlal Singhvi, 68, decided to close his shop, Mayank Jewellers, in the Kaul Heritage city area. As Singhvi was pulling down the shutters of his shop, two motorbike-borne men armed with a pistol approached him and threatened him at gunpoint. When he resisted, he was assaulted. The robbers, who had covered their faces, stole gold jewellery worth over Rs 70 lakh and immediately fled the spot on their motorbike. After the robbery was reported, the Mira Bhayander-Vasai Virar police began their search for the accused. They scanned footage from nearly 600 CCTV cameras but found little to go on. The number plate of the motorbike was unclear, and the suspects' faces were hidden. The police believed that the robbers were hiding in Vasai as they were not seen in footage beyond the Chulna and Girij areas of the city. But with no concrete leads, the police feared the investigation had stalled – until an alert police official scouring through CCTV footage from that night noticed a motorbike with an unusual horn pattern. The clue proved to be the turning point in the case. Moments after the motorbike emitted the unique and distinct horn along with a headlight flash, a man emerged from a bungalow in the Girij Tokpada area and opened a gate for the vehicle to enter, the police noticed. The police began tracing the owner of the bungalow and found that it belonged to Royal alias Roy Sequeira, a 46-year-old Vasai resident with a long criminal record and over a dozen cases registered against him. The motorcycle used in the crime was found at his bungalow. The probe revealed that the suspects, who had stopped using their mobile phones after the robbery, had been communicating with Sequeira through coded messages. After the heist, the accused allegedly changed their clothes and headed to Vasai railway station, boarded a train, and fled. Nearly 20 days after the incident, officials from Manikpur police station in Vasai detained Sequeira, the alleged mastermind of the robbery, and Anuj Chougule, who they claimed was one of the two suspects on the bike. Later, the police caught Sourabh Tukaram Rakshe alias Pappu, the other accused in the case. Others arrested in the case include Lalsingh alias Sitaram Sarjerao More, who allegedly provided logistical support to the accused, and Amar Bharat Nimgire, a Solapur-based jeweller who allegedly bought the stolen gold. Part of the stolen molten gold, worth over Rs 20 lakh, was recovered. According to the police, a background check of the gang members revealed that some of them had criminal records and had been booked for some serious crimes in the past. The accused were booked under sections 309 (6) (robbery), 351 (2) (criminal intimidation), 317 (2) (stealing property), 61 (2) (criminal conspiracy) and 3 (5) (criminal act by several persons with common intention) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita along with provisions of the Arms Act. As per a May 7 sessions court order, a provision of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) was also invoked against the accused.

Toronto, American artists capture wild Canada goose vs. bald eagle fight photos in an ice sculpture
If there's a perfectly Canadian material an artist can use to capture that wild moment when a Canada goose fought off a vicious attack from a bald eagle, it might be ice. "As strong as ice is, as heavy as it is and as dangerous as it can be, it's also really fragile," Toronto artist Sarah Blostein said. "If it doesn't have the right conditions ... it just melts, or shatters or disappears." Blostein said the photos by Oakville, Ont., photographer Mervyn Sequeira sent the message of "strength and resilience" that she needed in the middle of "so much depressing news" to create a unique piece — an ice sculpture inspired by Sequeira's images. When he spoke to CBC Hamilton, Sequeira said while he doesn't like getting into politics, he found the encounter between the two birds "very symbolic." Since becoming president again last November, Trump has commented repeatedly on wanting Canada to become the 51st state, and has imposed hefty tariffs on steel, aluminum and other goods entering the U.S. from Canada. Canada has responded with tariffs of its own. Blostein said that from the moment she came up with the idea for the ice art, she wanted it to be a two-person project, with an American sculpting the U.S.'s national bird. So Blostein enlisted her colleague, Riley Knaus, to complete the piece with her. 'Crazy geese pulling ninja moves' First reported by CBC Hamilton, the pictures travelled far. News outlets from around the world — including the U.S., India and the U.K. — covered the story of the Canada goose-bald eagle fight. Sequeira originally posted the pictures to his Instagram account on Feb. 25, telling CBC Hamilton a few days later that, from his perspective, "that is how nature works." "But we're living in a slightly polarized world just now, so some people looked at it differently," he said. He said the eagle made "several attempts" to attack the goose at the LaSalle Marina. "When we thought that it was really over for the goose, strangely, the bald eagle just gave up and left." Blostein said she found the pictures "funny" and they "looked like a political satire cartoon." "I have never seen a Canada goose go like full 'ninja,' and that's what was so great about it," she said. Blostein was the only Canadian in her group when she saw the photos and said her American colleagues often teased her about the idea of Canada becoming the 51st state. Blostein said the pictures evoked a "sentiment of '51st state, my ass,'" inspiring her to leave her mark and show "Americans don't know what they're in for if they try to [annex Canada]." "We're proud of everything that makes us Canadian and we might be crazy geese pulling ninja moves," she said. A cross-border collaboration Blostein said she is "obsessed with Halloween," which brought her to pumpkin carving and, eventually, ice sculpting. She arrived in Fairbanks, Alaska, in January to volunteer at the World Ice Art Championships with only one three-day sculpting class under her belt. She participated in one contest, but it wasn't until she was helping out with the children's competition that she saw extra pieces of ice and thought to sculpt the goose. Knaus heard Blostein talking about the pictures for "a few hours" before he looked closely at the interaction between the two birds. The pictures "spoke" to him and so he agreed to the collaboration. "We weren't carving [the same piece] together, but we were able to create a finished piece together," he told CBC Hamilton. Knaus, 22, is a chainsaw artist based in Coos Bay, Ore. This was his third year at the ice championship in Alaska. He said the tense U.S.-Canada relations were not on his mind until after he finished carving the bald eagle. "You do start to see the bigger picture rather than being so dialled in ... it almost becomes metaphorical at that point," he said. "Because I was focused on my side, I wasn't really too concerned what was going [on with Blostein]." Knaus and Blostein ended up picking different pictures from Sequeira's photo shoot to reference. Blostein went for the "dynamic" goose pose in the most recognizable picture, while Knaus went for a more reserved pose for the eagle. Knaus said he liked the expression of the eagle feeling "taken aback" in one of the photos and thought it would be better to give the goose more of a spotlight. "I felt towards the emotion of the goose more so than I did the eagle at that point," he said. Knaus said Canadians are "beautiful people" who should be "fighting for what you guys believe in." He said carving the sculpture was also a good opportunity for the youth to see other artists in action, "rather than just take some pointers." Blostein and Knaus wanted to name the piece Honk, Mother-Flocker, Do You Speak it? as a nod to the Samuel L. Jackson line from 1994's Pulp Fiction, but chose the more family-friendly Fowl Play, seeing as they were helping out in a children's competition. "Seeing that picture, which was both nature and art, through the eyes of the photographer, and being able to amplify that with another form of art — there's just something really special about that for me," Blostein said.
