Norway advances

at World Cup

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Erling Haaland headed in the go-ahead goal in the 79th minute and scored again before the end of regulation time, carrying Norway into the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time with a 2-1 win over Brazil that showcased the young striker on soccer’s biggest stage.

Haaland, with two goals, tied Lionel Messi for the most in the tournament with seven each. Brazil’s streak of reaching the quarterfinals ended at eight, with its first round-of-16 exit since 1990.

Naomi Osaka

ousts Sabalenka

LONDON (AP) — Naomi Osaka outslugged top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka 6-2, 7-6 (2) to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the first time. Sabalenka had beaten Osaka in all three of her previous matches with Osaka this year including at the same stage of the French Open last month.

But this time Sabalenka couldn’t handle Osaka’s pace and flat groundstrokes It was Osaka’s first win over a No. 1 player since beating Ash Barty in Beijing in 2019. That was before Osaka took a breaks from the tour to manage her mental health in 2021 and for maternity leave that resulted in her missing all of 2023.

Gotterup takes

John Deere

SILVIS, Ill. (AP) — Chris Gotterup has won the John Deere Classic for his fourth PGA Tour title in the last 12 months. Gotterup shot a 62 in the final round at the TPC Deere Run.

That helped him make up a five-shot deficit. And then he needed some help at the end. Ben Kohles was tied for the lead with Gotterup and in the middle of the 18th fairway. But he pulled his 8-iron into the water and then missed a short putt and took double bogey.

Max Homa wound up in second for his best finish in more than three years.

Pérez removed

after 7 perfect

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Eury Pérez was pulled after pitching seven perfect innings Sunday against the Athletics, and the Miami Marlins quickly lost their bid for a combined no-hitter.

Marlins reliever Lake Bachar replaced Pérez to start the eighth and issued a leadoff walk to Lawrence Butler as fans booed. That was the first baserunner for the A’s, and Joshua Kuroda-Grauer then dunked a pop-fly single into shallow right field for their first hit.

Moments later, Jonah Heim launched a grand slam off Bachar that shaved Miami’s lead to 8-5. The 23-year-old Pérez, who has never pitched a complete game in his major league career, retired all 21 batters he faced with eight strikeouts. He threw 92 pitches before Miami manager Clayton McCullough went to his bullpen.

The Marlins hung on to win 9-8.

Morocco beats

Canada 3-0

HOUSTON (AP) — Azzedine Ounahi scored twice to lead Morocco to a 3-0 win over Canada in the World Cup Round of 16 Saturday to make the country the first African nation to reach the quarterfinals more than once.

It’s Morocco’s second straight appearance in the quarterfinals after becoming the first African team to reach the semifinals in 2022.

The loss ends a historic run for World Cup co-host Canada, which won its first-ever knockout round game with a 1-0 victory over South Africa to reach Saturday’s match.

France gets by

Paraguay 1-0

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — In the last 2026 World Cup match in Philadelphia, Paraguay played a style that has been seen many times before at the city’s football stadium. La Albirroja’s physical approach in their 1-0 loss to France in the Round of 16 looked more like what might be seen on a Sunday in the fall by the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles.

Paraguay seemed to target star forward Kylian Mbappé, who converted a penalty kick in the 70th minute.

France midfielder Manu Koné says Paraguay took “cheap shots,” while coach Didier Deschamps says Paraguay used “every trick in the book.”

NY’s Robinson

explains injury

NEW YORK (AP) — Mitchell Robinson says the hand injury that left his status uncertain for the New York Knicks’ NBA Finals opener came after he punched a truck amid concern over his brother’s health.

Robinson, who last week agreed to leave the Knicks and sign with the Boston Celtics, wrote a Facebook post Sunday that addressed the injury and other mental health concerns he had during the season.

Robinson says it was an injury to his knuckle when he returned from the Knicks’ victory in Game 4 and learned that his brother was in a car crash. Robinson originally feared his brother was dead.
