jili 646 login ANTOINE GRIEZMANN STRUCK a 94th-minute winner to snatch Atletico Madrid a thrilling 4-3 victory over Sevilla on Sunday in La Liga. Diego Simeone’s side, third, have won nine matches straight across all competitions and the win pulled them a point behind second-placed title holders Real Madrid and three behind leaders Barcelona. Atletico showed character and quality as they fought back from two goals down in the second half to triumph. Rodrigo De Paul powered Atletico ahead but Dodi Lukebakio equalised for 13th-placed Sevilla. Isaac Romero sent the visitors ahead after half-an-hour and Juanlu Sanchez gave them a 3-1 lead before the hour mark. However, Griezmann pegged one back before substitute Samuel Lino scored a stunning effort from the edge of the box and the Frenchman then blasted home in stoppage time to continue Atletico’s superb run of form. Lukebakio gave the ball away for De Paul’s opener as he tried to dribble out of a dangerous area. The Argentine midfielder lashed the ball beyond the reach of Sevilla goalkeeper Alvaro Fernandez from the edge of the box in the 10th minute. However the Andalusians were quickly on level terms, with Lukebakio making amends two minutes later. The Belgian forward, on the left of Atletico’s area, took one step to beat his marker and smashed home at the near post, catching out Jan Oblak with his powerful strike. Sevilla played with huge intensity, pressing Atletico and throwing themselves into tackles, up for the fight at the Metropolitano stadium in front of over 60,000 fans. They took the lead in the 32nd minute when Romero broke in behind to reach Kike Salas’ pass to net his first goal of the season. The striker fired past Oblak, who got a hand to his effort but could not keep the ball out. The hosts battled hard to find a way back in but Francisco Garcia Pimienta’s Sevilla soaked up the pressure and netted their third early in the second half. They put together an excellent team move, involving Lukebakio, Djibril Sow and Salas, the latter of whom crossed for Sanchez to slam home at the far post. Atletico were unperturbed and swiftly pulled one back through Griezmann, after an excellent through-ball from Spanish midfielder Pablo Barrios. Sevilla goalkeeper Fernandez made several good saves as the Rojiblancos pushed for an equaliser, denying substitute Alexander Sorloth twice, and the Norwegian striker narrowly missed a tempting cross with a diving header. Atletico pulled level thanks to Lino’s spectacular strike from distance, which was reward for their heavy pressure in the second half. Sevilla were under the cosh in the final stages and eventually caved when Griezmann swivelled and smashed the winner past the helpless Fernandez. - Solid Athletic - Earlier, Athletic Bilbao tightened their hold on fourth place with a 2-0 victory over Villarreal, fifth. Aitor Paredes and Inaki Williams struck to help the Basques move six points clear of their opponents, who have played two fewer games. Bilbao have won four consecutive games in the top flight, including beating champions Real Madrid on Wednesday, and are aiming for Champions League qualification next season. “We’re establishing ourselves in fourth, which is what we wanted,” said Williams. “I think we competed really well, when you’re in form, you have to surf the wave.” Villarreal have now gone four matches without victory in all competitions, including a shock Copa del Rey defeat by fourth-tier Pontevedra in midweek. “This defeat hurts a lot, we knew we were facing a direct rival (for the top four),” said Villarreal defender Kiko Femenia. “We know it’s very tricky to come here and beat them, and the chances they have, they put away.”ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Gratifying as it was for Sean McDermott to catch up with his family and get some rest during Buffalo’s bye week, the Bills coach on Wednesday found comfort returning to his weekly routine and familiar wardrobe — a gray T-shirt and sweatpants. “When I’m not wearing those, I go to my closet and I don’t know what to wear. I’m kind of like not myself,” he said before pulling up his hoodie for emphasis to reveal the gray shirt he had on underneath. “So I was telling some of the guys this morning, ‘It’s good to be back.’” Though there remain challenges ahead, these are upbeat times in Buffalo . The Bills (9-2) are off to their best start since 1992. They remain in contention for the AFC’s top seed by entering their break following a 30-21 win over Kansas City (10-1). And Buffalo is in position to clinch its fifth straight AFC East title as early as Sunday. To do so, the Bills would need Miami to lose to Green Bay on Thursday night, and Buffalo to win its game over San Francisco (5-6) on Sunday night. Buffalo has won six straight since back-to-back losses at Baltimore and Houston, and scored 30 or more points in each of its past five outings. Refreshed as McDermott sounded and appeared, it didn’t take long for him to revert to his game-at-a-time script when assessing what’s on the line this weekend. “We’re mostly focused on our level of play this week against a good football team,” he said. McDermott shed little light on the status of Buffalo’s lengthy list of injured players. There’s no timetable yet on Matt Milano being activated off injured reserve, even though the starting linebacker practiced fully for the first time since tearing his left biceps during a training camp practice in mid-August. Milano has actually missed nearly 14 months since sustaining a season-ending injury to his right leg in Week 5 last season. Milano revealed little during a brief interview following practice. “I feel all right. Getting back into it with the team,” said Milano, who no longer wore a red non-contact jersey in practice. Meantime, rookie receiver Keon Coleman, who has missed two games with a right wrist injury, and starting right tackle Spencer Brown, who missed one game with an ankle injury, were limited in practice. Tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) was Buffalo's only player not practicing. The Bills also opened the three-week window for backup rookie defensive tackle DeWayne Carter (wrist) and backup offensive lineman Tylan Grable (groin) to return. McDermott has another positive going for him revolving around the bye week. The Bills are 8-0 coming out of their break since McDermott took over as coach in 2017. “I don’t really have the, hey, this is exactly what we do formula,” McDermott said on whether he’s changed his bye week approach. “It’s more of us really just getting back to what we do, getting back to basics.” ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl John Wawrow, The Associated Press

Published 1:57 pm Wednesday, November 27, 2024 By The Daily News As I type this, a symphony of sound swirls around me. From my TV, I hear the struggle of two professional wrestlers clawing and scrapping for supremacy. Across the room, my dogs bark at people walking on the sidewalk. On my left, my son, home sick from school, plays Mario Kart on his Nintendo and laughs as he takes first place. He sniffles and coughs too, and those sounds join the symphony. All of this comes together as a song of thankfulness, causing me to take stock of how lucky and fortunate I am to be surrounded by such beautiful things that bring me joy and make my life a rich tapestry of goodness. It’s so easy to believe we don’t have anything to be thankful for. We are living in an age of despondency and conflict, a culture of scarcity and division. It’s true that some have it harder than others. I am not discounting their pain or their life circumstances. Maybe you are one of those whose life has been marked by horrible struggle. I’m not ignoring that pain, but I do want to gently push back against its tyranny. Pain and anguish like to believe they are the tyrants of our lives. We certainly give them space to act as such. I’m tired of giving negativity space to be a tyrant in my life. I don’t want to miss all the goodness that is around me because I won’t turn my own eyes away from the pain. I’m going to fix my gaze on the things in my life that bring me joy, life, and meaning. We have a passage of Scripture that I go back to when I need a boost of love and to remember what really gives my life meaning: No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Paul was onto something. For Christians, we will always have something fundamentally amazing to be thankful for. But if you’re not a Christian, there must be something deep that gives you meaning and direction, that shapes your life. No matter how bad my life may feel, I can return to the love of my God and offer thanks for the chance to be alive and to share love with friends and family. This Thanksgiving, don’t focus on what you lack. Don’t focus on what you feel is wrong. Survey the whole of your life and find even those few things that make your life rich. Don’t let the hopelessness out there take away your beautiful life inside. Chris Adams is the Rector at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Washington.
