Switzerland’s Xherdan Shaqiri stuns Serbia with late breakaway
Of all the people, it had to be them. Suddenly, in the last minute, Xherdan Shaqiri was racing away, Serbs pursuing him but unable to catch him before he slipped the ball under Vladimir Stojkovic. It was the goal that defeated Serbia and put Switzerland in a strong position to progress to the next round, but it was also much more than that. As he turned and screamed, he took his shirt off, flexed his muscles and performed a double-eagle celebration in honour of Albania. Alongside him, Granit Xhaka did the same – for the second time.

8 min: Lichtsteiner takes a throw-in deep in Serbian territory, chucking it short to Shaqiri. The Stoke (for now) man twists and turns and tries to deliver a cross from the right but it’s deflected behind for a corner.
Matic wins possession near the Swiss area and feeds Tadic, who chops back on to his left foot and flights a cross into the centre. Mitrovic again beats – nay, beasts – Schär in the air. And he nuts a powerful header into the net from eight yards!

“It’s over quicker, which is great,” Jessica Harrington said after winning the Coronation Stakes with Alpha Centauri here on Friday, when asked about the difference between racing on the Flat and over jumps. On that basis her latest Group One win on the Flat must have been her idea of the perfect race, as it was over almost before it had started in earnest.
Alpha Centauri was one of three 1,000 Guineas winners in the field for the feature race on Friday, but she was travelling much better than any of her opponents from the start and was still cruising on the bridle as they lined up for home with just over two furlongs to run.

Bolchha Nepal is not responsible or affiliated towards the opinion expressed in this news article. There will doubtless be no shortage of intensity at the sharp end of the French Grand Prix but away from a tight title fight, for many in France it will be an unashamedly emotional affair. For Jacques Laffite, the race’s return to the Formula One calender after a 10-year absence and at the Paul Ricard circuit has special resonance. A pleasure amplified by the joie de vivre the former F1 driver derives from Lewis Hamilton’s performances.
France hosted the first grand prix in 1906 and had held 86 further meetings by its last race in 2008 at Magny-Cours. Unsurprisingly a decade on there is a celebratory air at Paul Ricard, which hosted the race 14 times between 1971 and 1990. Laffite knows it well, the charismatic 74-year-old raced at the track in his heyday when driving for Ligier, taking six wins.
