Bayern back on top of Bundesliga after 2-0 win over Hertha

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:00:10 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman scored to send Bayern Munich back to the top of the Bundesliga with a 2-0 win over last-place Hertha Berlin on Sunday.Gnabry made the breakthrough with a diving header to Joshua Kimmich’s cross in the 69th minute and Coman sealed the win 10 minutes later, again thanks to a fine pass from Kimmich. It was enough to send Bayern one point clear of Borussia Dortmund with four rounds left. Dortmund, held to a 1-1 draw in Bochum on Friday, must now hope for a favor from Bayern’s remaining opponents — Werder Bremen, Schalke, Leipzig and Cologne — if it is to end the Bavarian powerhouse’s 10-year reign as German champion.Hertha had goalkeeper Oliver Christensen to thank for avoiding a heavier loss. The visitors were not expected to cause too many problems for Thomas Tuchel’s side after conceding 10 goals in their previous three games — all defeats. Hertha remains the prime candidate for relegation. It’s bottom of the league and six points f...

White Sox OF Luis Robert sits with right hamstring tightness

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:00:10 GMT

CHICAGO (AP) — White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. was out of the starting lineup Sunday, one day after he was pulled from a loss to Tampa Bay because he failed to hustle up the line on a grounder.Robert jogged to first after he bounced to pitcher Calvin Faucher in the first inning Saturday, leading to a round of boos from the home crowd. First-year manager Pedro Grifol replaced Robert with a pinch hitter in the second.The White Sox went on to a 12-3 loss to the Rays, extending their slide to 10 in a row.Robert said he was trying to play through some right hamstring tightness and should have let Grifol know how he was feeling. Grifol said Robert’s hamstring tightness — not his lack of hustle on the first-inning play — was the reason he was out of the lineup Sunday.“When we are struggling as a ballclub like that, I think it’s human nature for them to want to be a part of us getting back on track. And I think he felt like he could play and help us,” Grifol said before the s...

PARIS (AP) — Paris Saint-Germain will have to work harder — much harder — for a record 11th French league title after Lorient stunned the defending champion 3-1 on Sunday.

The hosts were down to 10 men after Achraf Hakimi received a second yellow card for a stamp on Darlin Yongwa in the 20th minute. The Morocco right back also got booked for a late tackle on Romain Faivre in the fifth minute. Lorient capitalized on a spell of possession to take the lead in the 15th with a sliding effort from Enzo Le Fee into the roof of the net.Kylian Mbappe equalized with a poacher’s goal in the 29th when Yvon Mvogo had a lapse in concentration. The Lorient goalkeeper put the ball on the ground, thinking he had a free kick, but the referee had only waved to play on. Mba...
