Osimhen Scores As Galatasaray Win Turkish League, Second Trophy In Five Days

Five days after the Lions were declared the winners of the Turkish Super Lig, Galatasaray defeated Kayserispor 3-0 on Sunday to claim the title. Victor Osimhen from Nigeria was once more on target. &nbsp,

In the 26th minute of the match, Osimhen, 24, scored from the top of Gabriel Sara’s cross to lead his club. &nbsp,

Hailey, the daughter of the Nigerian striker, announced his father as the scorer, which made the goal special.

The second of the night was scored by Baris Alper Yilmaz three minutes later. Osimhen allowed goalkeeper Fernando Muslera to take the spot kick, but he was designated as the Turkish side’s penalty taker. &nbsp,

The 38-year-old Uruguayan, who was expected to leave the club at the end of the season, hit the back of the net as Galatasaray cruised to a 3-0 victory, tying them with the title.

Galatasaray won the Turkish League game with an unachievable 89 points, eight ahead of Fenerbahce’s Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce, who are still playing.

Galatasaray won the Turkish Cup just days after winning the 25th Super Lig title over Trabzonspor. Osimhen, who is currently out on a season-long loan from Napoli in Italy, added a brace to his impressive form this campaign.

Osimhen now has 25 league goals this season thanks to Sunday’s goal. The Super Eagles became the most prolific foreign player in Turkish football when he scored a brace last Wednesday, breaking the 24-year-old record. His 34 goals in a campaign was more than Brazilian legend Mario Jardel’s.

However, according to local media, Mourinho’s departure from Fenerbahce could result from losing out on silverware a year before his contract expires.

Mourinho’s team failed to win any of the four Istanbul derbies against Galatasaray and Besiktas, which was their last triumphant season 11 years ago.

Lightning beat Pulse in battle of NSL’s top two

Ben Lumley

Loughborough Lightning, reigning champions, defeated Loughborough Lightning 58-53 to move level on points with London Pulse at the top of the table on Sunday.

In the final minutes of the game, Lightning looked comfortable, looking to build on that lead and lead the league in the end.

But they eventually fell short of expectations and held on for a jittery victory, winning 17-6.

In the end, the Lightning, who were embarrassed by Pulse in the second round of the season, won 77-51.

The teams are now tied on 25 points after 10 rounds, with the London side trailing on goal difference, as a result of Pulse’s narrow margin of victory, which included a losing bonus point as a result of Pulse’s fourth-quarter surge.

This season, teams that lose by five goals or fewer receive a losing bonus point.

London Mavericks reclaimed the top four after a nail-biting 71-66 victory over Leeds Rhinos earlier.

With just under a minute to go, the Rhinos had a chance to win the third game of the season, but Mavericks’ one-pointer made it a stretch.

The capital club then held their resolve to triumph over Nottingham Forest next weekend in a potentially crucial match for the deciding play-off spots at Canon Medical Arena in Sheffield.

With a 77-53 victory over Cardiff Dragons, League newcomers Forest had boosted their chances of being among the top four prospects on Friday.

Rolene Streutker, a South African goalie, shot 110 shots for the campaign on a successful night.

With only four points from nine games, Cardiff is still at the bottom.

What they said about Pulse v. Lightning

Loughborough Lightning player of the match Berri Neil stated to Sky Sports, “We’ve all been hoping to win this round, hoping to return to Lightning after our first game.” We knew we had a lot more to give, but we were so disappointed with it. We are unhappy with that last quarter because it is still not perfect. A win over them would be good, but if we were to face them again at any point, we would have to be much better and be capable.

Sam Bird, the head coach for Pulse, said, “I thought Loughborough really got going.” We’re still having trouble finding connections, but some of our players have been completely isolated and shut down by them. I’m working on giving our shooters confidence to go post and shoot, but we both had a great time. Our attack needs to have a little more faith in one another.

Kylie Jenner leaves fans convinced she’d ‘eloped’ with Timothée Chalamet

When Kylie Jenner shared a number of photos on Instagram wearing a form-fitting white dress, many people assumed it to be a wedding gown.

Fans of Kylie Jenner speculated that Timothee Chalamet and her ‘eloped’ after recent snaps.

Kylie Jenner’s fans were convinced she eloped with boyfriend Timothée Chalamet after she shared snaps of her in a white dress while on vacation. The socialite, 27, and the Oscar-nominated actor, 29, have been going from strength to strength since they were first linked in early 2023.

On Sunday afternoon, Kylie took to her Instagram page to share a series of snaps taken at the beach at an unknown location as she rocked a tight mesh mini-dress with crochet floral detailing. She completed the stunning look with matching white stockings, a tight, slicked back bun and pearl earrings. Kylie simply captioned the post: “cosmic girl,” referring to her new fragrance.

After seeing the white outfit, some fans initially thought she had eloped with her boyfriend, and they hurried to the comment section to express their excitement.

One user wrote, “Legit thought she eloped and this was an iconic wedding dress,” and another, “Not me zooming in on the left.” One fan said, “For a moment, I thought she was launching that about her wedding!” “!

It comes after Timothée and Kylie took their relationship to the next step by making their first red carpet appearance as a couple earlier this month.

Continue reading the article.

The pair has been dating since 2023 and has previously posed for photos at sporting events as well as together on the red carpet until May.

At the 70th David di Donatello Awards, the lovers posed for photos together during a famous photocall. Fans didn’t have to wait long for the couple’s formal debut, despite Timothée’s earlier absence from the Met Gala.

A source close to the couple revealed the reason behind his no-show at the Met Gala: “Timothée did consider going to the Met Gala, but he is a huge Knicks fan and Kylie knows this,” they said. “Kylie didn’t bother him to go with her and that’s something he appreciates about her. She allows him to do his own thing.”

The couple has previously kept their relationship a secret, reserving their public appearances to private parties and low-key outings, and Kylie and Timothee’s relaxed approach seems to work well for them. Their dazzling Rome appearance, however, turned out to be a turning point for the lovers.

Following his incredible performance as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, Timothee is reportedly scheduled to play a secret set at Glastonbury in 2025 for the duo’s loved-up red carpet debut.

The actor is reportedly scheduled to play with the Dylan-inspired ensemble Not Completely Unknown on Saturday, June 28 at the Acoustic Stage, according to a recent Sun report.

The band’s listing on Glastonbury’s official website makes reference to “special guests,” which further amplifies the whispers.

The UN says global hunger has hit a new high

In 2024, nearly 300 million people experienced acute hunger.

The United Nations has issued a sharp warning that the world is dangerously off course following its discovery that more than 295 million people were suffering from acute hunger in 2024.

As major donor nations are anticipated to reduce funding this year, there are growing concerns about the future.

96 million people in 18 nations, including Syria and Yemen, are affected by climate change and economic crises.

After two years of civil war, Sudan’s largest humanitarian crisis is primarily brought on by conflict and violence.

Israel’s third-month-long humanitarian and food embargo has caused a manufactured crisis in Gaza.

Is the lack of global food shortage a result of human nature or of system failure?

How ‘delicious’ Verstappen move caught McLaren by surprise

  • 144 Comments

McLaren was completely caught out by Max Verstappen’s surprise at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix to seal his second victory of the year and serve as a reminder that he cannot be ruled out of this year’s Formula 1 championship match.

The surprise came in two ways: firstly, by the spectacular move by Oscar Piastri of McLaren to take the Red Bull driver’s lead at the first corner, and then by Verstappen’s impressive pace once outside in front.

Verstappen also led the opening 20 laps of the race in Miami, but he was quickly snagged by the McLarens of Lando Norris and Piastri before being abandoned for the long run.

This is different.

Verstappen once had the advantage of holding the lead in the race. And while McLaren were left to regret some of the “wrong calls” made during the race, Piastri claimed they were aware that none of them would have affected the outcome.

In light of how the race turned out, with first a virtual safety car followed by an actual one, Piastri had to choose to pit early for fresh tyres. And Piastri and Norris came in third and third, which is the reverse championship order in which the season’s protagonists came in.

Norris remarked, “It was the best result I believed we could actually achieve today.” I probably didn’t anticipate the Red Bull to be as quick as they did.

the moment that determined the race’s outcome

But that’s first. It was delicious.

Verstappen actually had lost ground on the first corner, with Piastri seemingly still in the lead after Mercedes’ George Russell edged ahead on his inside.

However, Piastri braked earlier than he should have done in the middle of the track, which was all Verstappen needed.

He “sent it” with complete devotion and pissed off Piastri, a typically unaware and instinctive racer himself.

The Australian responded, “Yeah.” “I thought Max made a wise decision, and I thought it was pretty under control.” So, I’ll be clear on that when I do next.

In retrospect, “definitely would have done something different.” Probably ten meters later, I would have braked. Yes . That is it. Live and discover.

“But I wasn’t overly worried about not being in the lead,” I said at that time. But then, I realized our pace wasn’t as fast as I had anticipated.

Verstappen was even impressed by the move.

He said, “I was a little backwards.” “Basically in P3 at the time before braking. I had to travel a long way, of course, but I was on the typical braking path.

Even on a track where overtaking is as notoriously challenging as Imola, it might not have mattered if McLaren had shown the pace advantage they had in Miami, Bahrain, China, or Australia.

But that was not their choice. Verstappen’s grip on the pitch was initially strong until Piastri sensed his tyres disintegrating, so McLaren made the decision to pit him.

The tyres went through a phase where they felt like they were going off before coming back on the same day. However, it only made a change, and McLaren came in second and third.

Verstappen believed that his improved form could be explained by two different factors. Some upgrades that Red Bull had provided had been successful. However, the track itself was present.

As with his previous success this year, Verstappen’s Jeddah, where he squared off against Piastri, “has quite a few high-speed corners, which I think our car likes”.

It’s very track specific, he continued. High-speed tracks and high-speed corners have been the hallmarks of every other time we have been really competitive.

“We still have work to do,” the team said. “I do believe it was a very positive weekend.”

“Feb. 9 was still very challenging, but I believe we had a better setup for Saturday.” And I just hope that we can use that a little more frequently because it undoubtedly opened up more space for the car.

Norris remarked, “The high-speed corners have been where we’ve been going the entire season.” Therefore, we must work in that field, which may have caused some of our pain this weekend.

We’ve been saying “we have to keep working hard,” we said right away. Max has repeatedly outqualified us, and their pace only increased today to Sunday.

What might follow?

Seven races in, and a pattern is emerging. The Red Bull and McLaren are rivals on a high-speed track. The McLaren has a clear advantage over competitors in a different speed range, though.

The pendulum may continue to swing therefore. The pace of Monaco is what it is this weekend. McLaren should win.

Verstappen once said, “Montemarle is, of course, very different. Let’s see how we will perform there, then. You may recall that our last year was very challenging. Because there is, of course, a lot of low speed, I don’t anticipate it to be much easier this time around.

The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is full of long, medium, and high-speed corners on the weekend in Spain. territory for Red Bulls. Except for the high levels of tyre degradation, which should benefit McLaren.

However, overall, McLaren still favors the math and the trend.

Because either team can win on the tracks where the cars are fairly evenly distributed. Verstappen was defeated, for instance, in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, there are tracks that McLaren are simply better at. Red Bull will need McLaren to be a failure in their current form to succeed.

There aren’t, at least so far, any tracks where the Red Bull is dominant in the same way that the McLaren has been at about half the events so far.

Although Piastri is by nature a down-to-earth person who doesn’t let anything obstruct his sang-froid, he may have been considering this when he summed up his feelings in third place.
