Leverkusen tied Copenhagen 2-2, and an own goal in injury time

On September 19, Copenhagen played against Leverkusen at home in the first round of the Champions League. The two sides finally played 2-2. In stoppage time, Copenhagen player Hazidiakos scored an own goal and saved Leverkusen's life.

Leverkusen occupied 64% of the ball possession rate throughout the game, but the corner kick was 5-4 and the shot was 15-12. The gap between the two sides was not big. In terms of shooting, the home team Copenhagen led 7-4.

In the 9th minute, Copenhagen ushered in a perfect start. Leverkusen made a mistake in the defense and Larson easily scored. The climax of the game occurred in the last 10 minutes. First, Grimaldo used a direct free kick to help Leverkusen equalize the score. In the 86th minute, Robert headed the ball in the penalty area, and Copenhagen took the lead again. Until the 91st minute, Leverkusen broke into the penalty area and made a forced cross. Hazidiacos refracted the ball into his own goal, 2-2.

After the game, Leverkusen players felt a little lucky with the result of this game. Goalkeeper Fleken said: "We can be satisfied with being able to get a point. If the opponent did not handle the ball well in the last moment, we might have lost the game. Grimaldo's footwork is very outstanding, but we currently rely too much on this personal flash of moments, which is actually not a good sign."

Most of the remaining Champions League matches in this round were one-sided, and the home teams played big scores one after another, including Portugal Sports defeating Almaty Keilat 4-1 at home, Frankfurt defeating Galatasaray 5-1 at home, and Bruges defeating Monaco 4-1 at home.. McLaurin, who participated in the "cross-event" competition, created the second best result in the 400m event and easily won the World Championships.

McLaurin won the women's 400m championship, and the 42-year tournament record was the oldest. On September 18, the 2025 World Track and Field Championships held in Tokyo ushered in the women's 400m competition. American athlete McLaurin won the gold medal in the rain battle and broke the 42-year World Championship record.

At the first World Track and Field Championships in 1983, former Czechoslovakian athlete Kratokhvilova ran 47.99 seconds in the women's 400m final, setting a world record at that time. Two years later, former Democratic German athlete Koch set a world record with 47.60 seconds, but no one could touch Kratokhvelova's World Championships in the following 18 World Championships, and this history was finally rewritten at the 20th World Championships.

26-year-old McLaurin first crossed the line with 47.78 seconds in the final that night, creating the second best result in the event history. Dominican Paulino ran 47 seconds 98 to win the silver, and Bahraini player Nasser won the bronze medal with 48 seconds 19. This is also the first time in history that two athletes have opened the 48-second mark in the women's 400m match in the same World Championships.

It is worth mentioning that this is the first gold medal in the 400m World Championships that McLaughlin won. Previously, her main event was 400m hurdles and she won two Olympic gold medals in this event. Last year, she set a 50.37-second world record for women's 400m hurdles at the Paris Olympics.

McLaurin said that although some people questioned her choice to switch from a 400-meter hurdle, she always believed in her speed ability. She said: "We will study the schedule of the Los Angeles Olympics carefully in the future. Maybe I can take into account both the 400m and 400m hurdles."

Gong Luming: The door of the Chinese women's basketball team has always been open to the best players

On September 18, after ending the warm-up match with La Liga Juventus team with a record of two consecutive victories, Chinese women's basketball coach Gong Luming said that the door of the national team has always been open to the best players in the country, and players who meet the requirements will definitely get opportunities.

The two warm-up matches with Juventus are part of the summer training of the Chinese women's basketball team. The selected players in this training camp were born after 1998, with an average age of only 23 years old. This is an important measure for the Chinese women's basketball team to promote the alternation of new and old in the Los Angeles Olympic cycle.

Talking about the team's future selection criteria, Gong Luming said: "The gate of the national team is open to the best players in the country. The old players have made great contributions to Chinese basketball, but their years of experience in national team competition have caused them to be injured and tired. In the future, the national team's selection mainly depends on their ability, and they need to be both offensive and defensive, be able to attack and defend, and keep up with the intensity, speed and rhythm of the confrontation. Players who meet the requirements must have a chance. We also hope that young players can grow faster and complete their succession."

During this summer training, the Chinese women's basketball team also organized a guard training camp. Gong Luming said that the current situation of the team is that the inside is strong, the forward attacking power is OK, and the back line is a shortcoming, especially the lack of organizational capabilities. After the warm-up match, the Chinese women's basketball team will go to Beijing Sports University to transfer training until September 30. Gong Luming said that the next main task is to improve the athletes' basic skills and personal abilities and gradually form the style of the new Chinese women's basketball team.
