MILAN: Inter Milan players were in tears after losing at home to Sassuolo 2-1 in Serie A on Saturday left their chances of qualifying for the Champions League in tatters.

Inter captain Mauro Icardi, Rafinha and other players fell to the ground after the final whistle, several with tears running down their face.

“This defeat hurts us a lot but the team did well,” Inter coach Luciano Spalletti said. “The players were destroyed in the dressing room, it really meant a lot to them and they gave their all.

“Sassuolo did what they had to do and we congratulate them for having won a difficult match. … We went behind but we had all the time to get back into the match … Consigli is a top-class goalkeeper and tonight he showed the talent he has.”

The result meant Roma qualified for the Champions League — no matter how it fares against Juventus on Sunday — as it was four points ahead of Inter, with one round remaining.

Inter remained two points behind fourth-placed Lazio, which can secure a spot in the Champions League with a victory over relegation-threatened Crotone on Sunday.

Inter and Lazio play each other in the last round.

Having already secured safety, Sassuolo had pride to play for and took a surprise lead in the 24th minute when Matteo Politano waited for the wall to jump before rolling a free kick under it and into the bottom right corner.

Goalkeeper Andrea Consigli did well to deny Marcelo Brozovic and Antonio Candreva and pulled off a fantastic stop to keep out Mauro Icardi’s effort on the stroke of halftime.

Icardi had the ball in the net moments earlier but it was ruled out for offside.

Consigli continued to perform heroics after the break and Domenico Berardi doubled Sassuolo’s lead in the 72nd, beating a defender before firing powerfully into the back of the net.

Rafinha netted his first goal for Inter 10 minutes from time with a low shot which went in off the base of the post.

The Nerazzurri layed seige to the goal but could not find a way past Consigli.

GOODBYE

Demoted Benevento marked its final home match in Serie A by beating Genoa 1-0.

Cheick Diabate scored four minutes from time, thanks to a great run from Enrico Brignola, who started in his own half and shrugged off two tackles before rolling across for his teammate.

Home goalkeeper Christian Puggioni pulled off some fine saves

Hats off to Leinster after giving Racing’s beret brigade the boot | Paul Rees

Leinster had the nous to edge a cagey Champions Cup final that looked to be heading for extra time until Racing 92 cracked

Racing’s players ran on to the pitch wearing berets, a nod to the host city that is regarded as the capital of the Basque region. They did the same 31 years ago when playing a Top 14 match in Bayonne, a period when some of the club’s players formed the Eden Park leisure clothing brand. When they faced Brive in April 1987, they took to the field in blazers and pink bow ties, and they sported harem pants the following week against Toulouse.

They were known then as the showbiz kids but a cup final comes under the factual rather than entertainment category. With heavy rain falling, Dan Carter withdrawing from the bench on Friday with a hamstring strain and the player he was understudying, Pat Lambie, lasting two minutes before he suffered a knee injury, black seemed the appropriate colour for Racing. It was so only at the end, having matched Leinster for every stride.

Gold, silver prices increase

0

Kathmandu, May 12

The price of precious metals rose in the trading week between May 6 and 12 on persistent buying by local jewellers amid a firm trend overseas.

The weakening of the US dollar and tensions between the United States and Iran also supported the precious metal, the Federation of Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers’ Association (FeNeGoSiDA) said in a statement.

On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump withdrew from a nuclear accord with Iran, raising the risk of conflict in the Middle East.

Gold is traditionally seen as a safe place to park assets in times of uncertainty or conflict.

Traders said continued buying by local jewellers in the ongoing wedding season also kept the precious metals’ prices elevated.

FeNeGoSiDA had fixed the trading rate of gold at Rs 58,700 per tola when the market opened on Sunday and its price had surged by Rs 300 a tola to Rs 59,000 per tola on Monday. Bullion price remained steady over the next two days before jumping by Rs 100 a tola each day for thesubsequent two days, to be traded at Rs 59,100 per tola on Thursday and Rs 59,200 a tola on Friday.

The association had set the rate of silver at Rs 760 per tola on Sunday and its price rose by five rupees a tola to Rs 765 per tola on Monday. Akin to gold, price of the grey metal was unchanged on Tuesday and Wednesday.

On Thursday and Friday, however, silver price went up by five rupees a tola each day to be traded at Rs 770 per tola and Rs 775 a tola,
respectively.
