MILAN (AP) — AC Milan could be forgiven for being angry with the United States.Top player Christian Pulisic has come back injured from international duty and although the U.S. winger still has to be fully evaluated by Milan, reports say he could be sidelined for nearly a month.That would mean Pulisic would not only miss Sunday’s match against Fiorentina but also Serie A matches against Pisa, Atalanta, Roma and Parma as the friendly matches played by the U.S. could cost Milan dearly.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Pulisic, who was scheduled for tests Friday, has been Milan’s best player by far this season — with six goals and two assists in seven matches before a rare missed penalty in a goalless draw against Juventus before the international break.The 27-year-old Pulisic was slowed by a right ankle injury last week and only entered Friday’s 1-1 draw against Ecuador in the 73rd minute. Despite that — and the matches only being friendly internationals — he started Tuesday’s game against Australia but was forced off after 26 minutes with an apparent hamstring injury.The Rossoneri will hope to have him back at least for the derby match against Inter Milan on Nov. 23 — after the next international break.Milan is third in Serie A, two points below Roma and defending champion Napoli.Napoli visits Torino on Saturday, shortly before Roma kicks off at home to Inter, which is three points below its opponent in the league standings.Milan said midfielder Adrien Rabiot will also miss the team's next two Serie A fixtures after picking up a calf injury on international duty.Milan said that tests revealed a "tear to the soleus muscle", adding that Rabiot would be "reassessed in around 10 days."

COMMERCE CITY, COLORADO - OCTOBER 14: Christian Pulisic #10 of the United States leaves the field due to an injury in the first half during the international friendly match between the United States and Australia at Dick's Sporting Goods Park on October 14, 2025 in Commerce City, Colorado.

Goaltender Carter Hart has agreed to sign with the Vegas Golden Knights, becoming the first of the five 2018 Canada world junior hockey players to land an NHL contract since they were <a href="https://apnews.com/article/canada-hockey-sexual-assault-trial-verdict-ea704c28f7b2f305d39cfefdb9d4e309">acquitted of sexual assault</a> in a high-profile case.Vegas announced an agreement with undisclosed terms for Hart on Thursday, the second day after the window opened for the players to sign.Hart and the others are not eligible to play in games until Dec. 1 as part of <a href="https://apnews.com/article/nhl-sexaul-assault-charges-8ced34bc9dcd135727ca8a43ac705f2c">the league’s reinstatement process</a> for him, Michael McLeod, Dillon Dube, Cal Foote and Alex Formenton.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>“The Golden Knights are aligned with the process and assessment the NHL and NHLPA made in their decision,” the team said in a statement. “We remain committed to the core values that have defined our organization from its inception and expect that our players will continue to meet these standards moving forward.”McLeod, who was also found not guilty of an additional charge of being a party to the offense, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/michael-mcleod-khl-contract-0e3b29409b3c8892d16854e9ba30de97">signed a three-year contract in the Russia-based KHL</a>. Formenton is playing in Switzerland, though it is unclear if he has an out clause to return to the NHL, which he has not played in since 2022 with Ottawa.“Each team is going to have to make its own decision," Commissioner Gary Bettman said Wednesday after the NHL's Board of Governors meeting in New York. “They know the rules. And it’s up to them to decide whether or not, subject to those rules, they want to move forward.”Hart is resuming his career at the age of 27 with the Golden Knights after spending his first six seasons playing for Philadelphia. The Flyers <a href="https://apnews.com/article/philadelphia-flyers-hart-nhl-assault-15ba8b20734646416f5333e79690fa89">last month ruled out</a> bringing back Hart, whose camp communicated to general manager Daniel Briere that a fresh start was a better option.The players were charged in 2024 in connection with an incident in London, Ontario, in 2018. The judge overseeing the trial said the prosecution <a href="https://apnews.com/article/hockey-canada-sexual-assault-trial-34ade705f7625e50deaceb92351e16ee">could not meet</a> the onus of proof to convict them and that complainant’s allegations lacked the credibility needed to justify the charges.The league conducted its own investigation beginning in the spring of 2022 when the allegations came to light. When announcing the reinstatement timeline in September, the NHL called the events that transpired “deeply troubling and unacceptable” and that while they were not found to be criminal, said the players’ conduct did not meet the standard of moral integrity.The NHLPA at the time said the players cooperated with every investigation and considers the matter closed.___AP NHL: <a href="https://apnews.com/hub/nhl">https://apnews.com/hub/nhl</a>

Angel City forward Christen Press has announced her retirement from professional soccer following the National Women’s Soccer League season.The 36-year-old Press won Women’s World Cup titles with the United States in 2015 and 2019 and a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Over a decade with the national team, she appeared in 155 matches, scoring 64 goals and 43 assists.Press played professionally in Sweden and has played in the NWSL for the Chicago Red Stars, Utah Royals and Angel City, in addition to a stint with Manchester City.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>A native Californian, Press was Angel City’s first signing in 2022. She scored two goals in eight games with the team before tearing the ACL in her right knee. She had four surgeries before returning last season.“It’s hard to find the words to say goodbye to a sport that has defined my life for over three decades. Football has given me everything, and I will miss being on the pitch so very much. Thank you to my family, friends, teammates, coaches, and community for this beautiful ride,” Press said in a statement released Wednesday.Press is one of the founders of RE-INC., both a commercial and advocacy platform for equity issues, and she hosts the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/tobin-heath-christen-press-olympics-8ec6f15821186693fe949920535c0d20">popular women’s soccer YouTube series</a> The RE-CAP Show with fellow former national team player Tobin Heath, her wife.

Press was the all-time leading scorer for the Cardinal with 71 career goals.But Hayes said Press was about more than just the on-field talent.“I think so much that people don’t really see with that generation of players is what they’ve had to endure to get to where they are,” Hayes said. “They’ve had to sacrifice themselves or put themselves in a place that positioned everybody else in a better place, whether it be the fight for equal play, whether it be the fight for equity, just the right to have the right conditions, whether that’s the right playing surface, whether it’s to create the right environments around players.”Press announced her retirement on Good Morning America on Wednesday.

Speak drove there to take the 46-year-old former two-weight world champion to the airport for a flight to Dubai where he was due to make a comeback fight in December.Details of the moment Hatton was found unresponsive were given at a hearing at Stockport Coroner's Court as the inquest into his death was opened briefly and adjourned until March 20.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>"The provisional cause of death is given as hanging," said Alison Mutch, senior coroner for Manchester South.The court was told Hatton was last seen by his family on Sept. 12 and he appeared "well."But he did not attend an event he was expected to be at the following day. Speak went to his house on the morning of Sept. 14 where he was found unresponsive, police coroner's officer Alison Catlow said.Fans lined the streets of Manchester for Hatton's funeral procession last week. Sporting stars Tyson Fury, Amir Khan and Wayne Rooney, as well as Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher were among mourners who attended the service at the city cathedral.News of his death came two months after the surprise announcement he would make a return to boxing in December in a professional bout against Eisa Al Dah in Dubai.He hadn't fought since losing for the third time in his career, against Vyacheslav Senchenko in 2012.At the height of his career he won world titles at light welterweight and welterweight and shared the ring with the best boxers of his generation including Kostya Tszyu, Floyd Mayweather, and Manny Pacquiao.Later he was open about his struggles with mental health.In a statement after his death, Hatton's family said he was "in a good place" and "excited for the future."

SEATTLE (AP) — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer woke up Toronto's offense as the Blue Jays hit five home runs to rebound from an early deficit, routing the Seattle Mariners 13-4 Wednesday night and closing to 2-1 in the AL Championship Series.Julio Rodríguez's two-run, first-inning homer off Shane Bieber put Seattle ahead and stirred thoughts of a possible sweep in the best-of-seven matchup by a team seeking its first World Series appearance.Andrés Giménez then sparked the comeback with a tying, two-run homer in a five-run third against George Kirby.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Springer, Guerrero, Alejandro Kirk and Addison Barger also went deep as the Blue Jays totaled 2,004 feet of homers among 18 hits.Guerrero had four hits, falling a triple short of the cycle, after going 0-for-7 as the Blue Jays lost the first two games at home.<figure class="article-segment--embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Maybe we did."In the 2-3-2 format, teams that lost the first two games at home and won Game 3 on the road have captured the series three of 11 times.A crowd of 46,471 at T-Mobile Park for Seattle's first home ALCS game since 2001 saw the teams combine to match the postseason record of eight combined home runs, set by the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis in Game 3 of the 2015 NL Division Series and matched by the Los Angeles Dodgers and Houston in Game 2 of the 2017 World Series.Giménez hadn't homered since Aug. 27 before his drive off a fastball from Kirby"Really big swing to get us going," Schneider said.Kirby allowed eight runs, eight hits and two walks, taking the loss. All eight hits were during the first three pitches of the at-bat."The first couple innings I thought he was dynamite," Mariners manager Dan Wilson said. "This is a team that's going to hurt you if you make mistakes on the plate. It looked like there were a couple that they were able to get to."Kirby's run-scoring wild pitch put Toronto ahead 3-2 and Daulton Varsho followed with a two-run double.Springer homered in the fourth, tying Bernie Williams for fourth on the career list with his 22nd postseason homer. Guerrero hit his fourth of the postseason for a 7-2 lead on the first pitch of the fifth.Kirk added a three-run homer in the sixth and is hitting .413 (19-for-46) with eight RBIs in 14 games at T-Mobile Park.Bieber, who got the win, pitched shutout ball after the first and wound up allowing four hits in six innings — the longest outing by a Blue Jays starter in seven postseason games."Obviously didn't start the way he would have wanted to, but that's pretty much who he is," Springer said. "He can battle back from anything."After the Blue Jays opened a 12-2 lead, Randy Arozarena connected in the eighth against Yariel Rodríguez for his first home run since Sept. 9 and Cal Raleigh, who led the major leagues with 60 home runs during the regular season, followed three pitches later with his third of the postseason.Up nextSeattle RHP Luis Castillo, who pitched 1 1/3 innings of relief against Detroit in Game 5 of the division series, starts Thursday against RHP Max Scherzer.

NEW YORK (AP) — Mika Zibanejad was at a loss for words after he and the New York Rangers made history Tuesday night by becoming the first team in NHL history to get shut out in each of its first three home games of the season."I don't know whether to laugh or cry," Zibanejad said after a 2-0 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. "I honestly don't know."The Rangers' 180-minute drought at Madison Square Garden is the second-longest to start a season at home, behind only the now-defunct Pittsburgh Pirates in 1928. They went the first 187:19 without a goal at Duquesne Gardens before Hib Milks scored in the third period of their home game.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>The previous longest in the modern era among teams that still exist was 155:17 by the Florida Panthers in 2001."This is a unique start to a season," captain J.T. Miller said. "It sucks that we had a couple games where we feel like we've really thrown a lot at the other team and we're not getting rewarded."Artemi Panarin had an early chance all alone in front against Edmonton that was stopped by Stuart Skinner. Will Cuylle also got the puck on net after an Oilers turnover only to be turned aside, and fourth-liners Adam Edstrom and Matt Rempe had quality opportunities on the edge of the crease."We can all go home and sleep well knowing we played another good home game," Miller said. "We're competitors. We want to win. We'd love to see the puck go in the net. Right now, it's not."Sam Carrick, who arguably was one of New York's best players, almost scored with 2:31 left, but Skinner flashed his glove to make the save.None of those shots made it over the goal line, and a couple of other attempts rang off the crossbar and out."We have two crossbars that go crossbar or post that goes right by the goal line," Zibanejad said. "I think we're creating lots of chances. I think there's enough high-danger chances that we're creating, but we're not scoring. Simple."The Rangers have failed to score on their first 90 shots on goal at home, and fans booed at one point when they came up empty on consecutive power plays."You're dying to give the fans a reason to cheer," Carrick said. "They support us every night hugely here. Obviously, they want to come and see goals. That's the frustrating part."They'll have to wait nearly a week for their next game on home ice. New York goes on the road for games at Toronto and Montreal before returning to host Minnesota on Monday night. Every player who spoke after the Oilers game had the same train of thought about not abandoning the structure that contributed to winning twice on the road and being competitive."It's on us to make sure that the mindset stays the same in here and we don't go off the grid to find something," Miller said. "We need to stay the course. Over time, results will come."

DALLAS (AP) — Wyatt Johnston scored on a power play to extend his season-opening goal streak to three games, Jake Oettinger stopped 39 shots, and the Dallas Stars won their home opener 5-2 over the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night.Johnston, the 22-year-old in his fourth NHL season, is the first Stars player since Alexander Radulov in 2018-19 to have a goal in each of the first three games.The Stars are 3-0 in Glen Gulutzan's return as their head coach. This is only the third time since moving to Dallas before the 1993-94 season for them to score at least three goals in each of their first three games, and they have now won their last six home openers.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Dallas led 3-0 on Matt Duchene's power-play goal 1:31 into the second period, on a puck hit into the crease that deflected off defenseman Jake Middleton's skate and past goalie Filip Gustavsson, who finished with 20 saves. Esa Lindell scored from the top of the right circle 5:37 into the game, and Johnston scored late in the first period.Matt Boldy and Kirill Kaprizov scored power-play goals for Minnesota in the third period, both assisted by Zeev Buium.Radek Faksa and Roope Hintz, who assisted on both first-period goals, scored empty-netters in the final 1:42. They became the 10th and 11th different Stars already this season to score a goal. Gulutzan was behind the Stars bench at American Airlines Center for the first time since a 3-0 season-ending loss to Detroit on April 27, 2013. That was a couple of weeks before he was fired by then-new general manager Jim Nill, who then brought him back as head coach in July to replace the fired Pete DeBoer.<h3>Up next</h3>Dallas hosts Vancouver on Thursday night.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to relocate World Cup matches set ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to relocate World Cup matches set to be played next year in suburban Boston, after suggesting that parts of the city had been "taken over" by unrest.Foxborough, Massachusetts, home to the NFL's New England Patriots and about 30 miles from Boston, is set to stage matches as the U.S. cohosts the 2026 World Cup with Mexico and Canada. Trump was asked about Boston's mayor, Michelle Wu, a Democrat whom he called "intelligent" but "radical left.""We could take them away," Trump said of the World Cup games. "I love the people of Boston and I know the games are sold out. But your mayor is not good."<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>He suggested "they're taking over parts of Boston" without offering details, but added "we could get them back in about two seconds."The Trump administration has already deployed National Guard troops to Washington and Memphis, and efforts to do so in Chicago and Portland, Oregon, have sparked legal fights.Wu's office did not react directly to Trump's threat, issuing a statement that read, "Boston is honored and excited to host World Cup matches, and we look forward to welcoming fans from around the world to our beautiful city, the cradle of liberty and city of champions."Trump's comments came during his meeting with Argentina President Javier Milei and it wasn't immediately clear what he was referring to by parts of Boston having been seized. Earlier this month, however, there were multiple arrests in connection with a pro-Palestinian protest that turned violent on Boston Common. Four police officers were injured. Trump has previously suggested he could declare cities "not safe" for the 104-game soccer tournament and alter a detailed hosting plan that FIFA confirmed in 2022. It includes games at NFL stadiums near New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.World Cup host sites aren't up to Trump. The 11 U.S. cities — plus three in Mexico and two in Canada — are contracted with FIFA, which would face significant logistical and legal issues to make changes in the eight months before the June 11 kickoff."It's FIFA's tournament, FIFA's jurisdiction, FIFA makes those decisions," the soccer body’s vice president Victor Montagliani said earlier this month at a sports business conference in London.Trump nonetheless said, "If somebody is doing a bad job, and if I feel there's unsafe conditions, I would call Gianni - the head of FIFA who's phenomenal - and I would say, 'Let's move into another location' and they would do that."The president meant FIFA head Gianni Infantino, a close ally. Trump said Infantino "wouldn't love to do it, but he'd do it very easily."

US President Donald Trump holds the World Cup trophy in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, on August 22, 2025. Trump announced the 2026 World Cup draw will be held on December 5 at Washington's Kennedy Center.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) — Haji Wright scored in the 33rd and 51st minutes off passes from Cristian Roldan, and the United States rallied to beat Australia 2-1 on Tuesday to end the Socceroos' 12-game unbeaten streak on a night Christian Pulisic left the game because of an injury.Jordan Bos had put the No. 25 Socceroos ahead in the 19th minute on Australia's first shot but Wright equalized just after Pulisic appearing to hurt his right leg.The 16th-ranked Americans defeated a top 25 opponent for just the second time in 10 matches and improved to 12 wins, seven defeats and one draw since coach Mauricio Pochettino took over.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Pochettino, who had not won after trailing, has his team together for just four more matches before he calls in players for his pre-World Cup training camp. The U.S. hosts Paraguay on Nov. 18 and Uruguay four days later, then has two more friendlies in March.Australia had won seven straight games and had been unbeaten since a September 2024 loss to Bahrain in a World Cup qualifier.Limited by an ankle injury to a substitute role in Friday's 1-1 tie against Ecuador, Pulisic stumbled to the field when he was tripped by Jason Geria in the 26th minute. After being examined by an athletic trainer, Pulisic left the field and was replaced by Diego Luna in the 30th.Australia went ahead after Bos bounced a throw-in that James Sands tried to clear only for the ball to spin into the penalty area. Bos chested the ball to himself, split Roldan and Sands, then beat Chris Richards to the ball and hooked it with his left foot past Matt Freese's outstretched left arm for his second international goal. Wright tied the score after Richards intercepted a pass and played it to Roldan, who headed the ball to Weston McKennie and then received a return pass. Roldan slid a through ball to Wright, who took a touch with his left foot and with his right lifted the ball over goalkeeper Mathew Ryan from about 10 yards.Wright got his seventh international goal after Roldan took a quick restart and booted the ball two-thirds of the way down the field and into the penalty area. Wright ran onto the ball after four bounces and cut inside as Cameron Burgess fell, then curled the ball inside the far post with his left foot from about 14 yards.Ryan blocked Luna's point-blank, 6-yard shot in the 79th.Pochettino changed six starters, inserting Pulisic, Wright, Roldan and Sands along with defender Mark McKenzie and right wing back Alex Freeman. Tim Weah shifted to left wing back. Sands made his first appearance since July 2023 and Freese his 10th straight start at goalkeeper. Midfielder Malik Tillman did not dress.Freese stopped Nestory Irankunda's close-range shot in the 90th.

DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Qatar and Saudi Arabia both secured a spot at next year’s World Cup on Tuesday after clinching first place in their groups in the fourth round of Asian qualifying.Qatar defeated the United Arab Emirates 2-1 and Saudi Arabia drew 0-0 with Iraq.It marks the first time that Qatar, which lost all three group-stage games when it hosted the 2022 tournament, has advanced through qualification. Saudi Arabia, which will stage the 2034 World Cup, will appear for a seventh time next summer in North America.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>“It’s amazing, an incredible day,” Qatar coach Julen Lopetegui told broadcaster beIN Sports.Lopetegui now gets another chance to coach at a World Cup after he was fired by Spain just two days before the start of the 2018 tournament after he accepted the job as Real Madrid manager.“For me, it’s one of the best days in my career,” Lopetegui said. “Today I think is one big achievement we have to enjoy.”The victory put Qatar atop Group A, ahead of second-place UAE, which now moves on to a November playoff against Iraq. Oman was eliminated after finishing third in the group.Qatar’s best first-half chance came in the 30th minute, when Mohammed Al-Mannai’s header bounced just wide of the UAE goal.Two minutes into the second half, Khoukhi opened the scoring by heading in a free kick from Akram Afif past goalkeeper Khalid Essa. With 17 minutes remaining, Afif provided another assist, crossing from the left for Pedro Miguel to head home at the far post.Qatar was reduced to 10 men when Tarek Salman was shown a straight red card in the 87th minute. After eight of the 15 minutes added on, UAE pulled a goal back through Sultan Adil’s shot from inside the area to ensure a tense finish. UAE would have advanced with a draw.After defeating Indonesia last Wednesday, Saudi Arabia got the draw it needed against Iraq in Jeddah to win Group B. The home team had most of the possession in a game of few chances but couldn’t find a breakthrough. Iraq would have qualified for the first time since 1986 with a win.Japan and South Korea, which have already secured a World Cup spot, both won friendlies against South American teams.Japan beat Brazil for the first time, fighting from two goals down to win 3-2 in Tokyo.

Cristiano Ronaldo set a new record for World Cup qualifying goals but Hungary grabbed a late 2-2 draw to stop Portugal from reaching next summer's tournament with two games to spare.After Attila Szalai netted for the visitors, Ronaldo's first-half brace put Roberto Martinez's side on the verge of qualification for the 2026 World Cup.However, Dominik Szoboszlai struck in stoppage time to make Portugal wait and boost his nation's hopes of making it to the tournament in the United States, Mexico and Canada.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Martinez's side top Group F with 10 points, five clear of Hungary.Portugal snatched a late victory from a five-goal thriller when the teams met in Hungary in September, as Marco Rossi's side showed their steel.Hoping to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1986, Hungary again proved a tough nut to crack.They took an early lead through Szalai, when the tall defender headed home from Szoboszlai's corner after eight minutes.Ronaldo, still leading the line for his country at 40, soon levelled, tucking home after Nelson Semedo crossed for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.It was his 40th goal in World Cup qualifying, setting a new record ahead of retired Guatemala international Carlos Ruiz on 39.Ronaldo, who missed a penalty against Ireland at the weekend, extended his tally before half-time with his 143rd international goal, also an all-time record.The veteran was in the right place at the right time again to clinically finish off a cross from Nuno Mendes and give his team the edge in an end-to-end clash.Hungary pushed for an equaliser in the second half and Szalai hit the crossbar with another header.Martinez took off Ronaldo, who is hoping to play at a sixth World Cup, but Portugal could not keep hold of their lead.Eventually Liverpool midfielder Szoboszlai found the leveller when he arrived at the back post to finish off Daniel Lukacs's low cross which found its way through.

UDINE, Italy (AP) — The World Cup qualifier between Italy and Israel took place without major incidents on Tuesday amid a heavy police presence that included snipers on the stadium roof.Italy won 3-0 in a game that had been placed in the highest risk category despite a breakthrough ceasefire deal that has paused two years of war in Gaza. There were skirmishes between protesters and police on the streets of Udine at a pro-Palestinian demonstration before the match but no disruptions during the game itself.The Israel team bus was escorted to the stadium by 13 police vehicles, including some from the special forces, and several motorbikes.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>The sound of helicopters surveilling the city had filled the air since the morning, with drones spotted in the sky and snipers also seen on the roof of the Israel team’s hotel.In the city center, around 10,000 people attended a pro-Palestinian march, which stayed incident free for nearly three hours before arriving at its final stop. Then about 50 people — with their faces covered — started clashing with police, who used water cannons and tear gas to try and disperse them.The group was apparently trying to get past the police cordons to head toward the stadium, which is on the outskirts of the city. They threw metal barriers at riot police as well as flares and other objects and set fire to garbage cans.Public broadcaster RAI said one of its journalists had to be taken to a hospital after being hit in the face by a rock.Many shops and restaurants decided not to open on Tuesday and there are strict rules for those that did — including the removal of any outdoor furniture or other objects that could potentially be used as weapons.Italy also played Israel a year ago in Udine, which was chosen because of the relative difficulty of reaching the city in north-east Italy, near the Slovenian border, and the ease of isolating the stadium, where road blocks have been set up all around.The area has been declared a “red zone,” and only fans with tickets can pass through the tall metal barriers. Supporters were strongly advised to arrive early because of rigorous checks, with everyone having to pass through metal detectors, too.Less than 10,000 tickets were sold for the qualifier at the 25,000-seat Stadio Friuli and there appeared to be fewer people inside the stadium than at the demonstration.There were boos from some fans when the Israeli anthem was played but the rest of the stadium tried to drown that out with loud applause.Mateo Retegui converted a penalty on the stroke of halftime and doubled his tally with a curled strike into the top right corner in the 74th minute. Gianluca Mancini headed in a third in stoppage time.Italy secured itself at least a playoff spot as it attempts to avoid missing a third straight World Cup.The Azzurri are second in their group, three points behind Norway and six ahead of Israel, which has played one game more than Italy.Only the group winner advances directly to next year’s tournament in North America. The second-place finisher progresses to a playoff — the stage where four-time champion Italy was eliminated during qualifying for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.___AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer

There are some tennis fans who wonder why top players who complain about how crowded the sport's calendar is would add an in-season exhibition like the Six Kings Slam, which starts Wednesday in Saudi Arabia, to their schedule.Taylor Fritz can think of millions of reasons. Well, 6 million, to be precise."I'd love for them to show me a tournament where you can go play three matches — well, for the top two seeds, two matches — and potentially make $6 million," Fritz said, his arms crossed during a video interview from Riyadh on Tuesday. "I'd love to hear that from them."<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Well, then.Fritz is one of six men scheduled to participate in the second edition of the Six Kings Slam. That includes Jannik Sinner, who is back after walking away with the check for that top prize a year ago in Saudi Arabia — more than any real tournament offers to the champion. The U.S. Open's recent $5 million payout to the women's and men's singles winners set the Grand Slam record.This event is part of the kingdom's recent big steps into tennis — and vice versa — including the WTA Finals in Riyadh, the ATP Next Gen Finals in Jedda and the Public Investment Fund's sponsorship of the tours' rankings. Hall of Famers Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova have been among the critics of the sport's ties to Saudi Arabia because of concerns about LGBTQ+ and women's rights there.For the Six Kings Slam, each player is guaranteed an appearance fee of reportedly $1.5 million; the last one standing gets a bonus that brings his total to four times that for the matches being shown live on Netflix."The money is nothing we're trying to hide. We know how much is at stake here, and it would be a lie if I told you it wasn't a motivation," said Sinner, who won the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year and was the runner-up to rival Carlos Alcaraz at the French Open and U.S. Open. "Every player here will try to win as many matches as possible. It's like any other exhibition — except here there is a bit more motivation."Sinner quit playing during his most recent match, 1 1/2 weeks ago at the Shanghai Masters, because of severe leg cramps. But he said Tuesday he's fine."I recovered. We took a few days off to rest and now we're ready for the rest of the season," said Sinner, who noted he has not decided whether to try to help Italy win a third consecutive Davis Cup title next month. "Mentally I'm in good shape … and will give 100%."He meets Stefano Tsitsipas on Day 1, when Fritz will face Alexander Zverev. The Fritz-Zverev winner takes on Alcaraz on Thursday, and the Sinner-Tsitsipas winner goes up against Novak Djokovic. After taking Friday off, the semifinal winners will play each other Saturday to close things.Djokovic owns a men's-record 24 Grand Slam trophies, Alcaraz has six, and Sinner has four; each also has been ranked No. 1.Fritz was the runner-up to Sinner at the 2024 U.S. Open. Zverev is a three-time major finalist, including losses to Sinner at this year's Australian Open and Alcaraz at last year's French Open. Tsitsipas was twice the runner-up to Djokovic at Slams.___Howard Fendrich has been the AP's tennis writer since 2002. Find his stories here: https://apnews.com/author/howard-fendrich.
