Half time :
Arsenal 0-0 Manutd

Democratic Republic of Congo side, TP Mazembe are officially the champions of the CAF Women’s Champions League Morocco 2024.

A highly tactical and hard fought 1-0 victory in the final played in El Jadida’s Stade Ben Ahmed El Abdi against former champions and hosts, AS FAR saw the DR Congo side crowned the new champions of Africa for the first time – wiping away tears of their 2022 group stage exit.

With the crowd backing the hosts, Mazembe showed great resilience and courage in taking the match to the former champions who remain in search for what has been an elusive second title for them.

The deciding goal of the fourth edition of the tournament came courtesy of a converted spot kick by Marlene Kasaj in the opening 10 minutes, which Mazembe protected throughout the match to seal the historic victory.

Alex Iwobi reached a personal milestone on Saturday, scoring his 25th Premier League goal as Fulham hosted Wolves at Craven Cottage.

Despite his spectacular strike, the Cottagers suffered a humbling 4-1 defeat. However, Iwobi’s milestone performance stands out as a bright spot in the otherwise gloomy evening for the hosts.

Newcastle United have joined the race to sign Victor Osimhen in 2025, with the club’s owners, Public Investment Fund, ready to trigger the Nigerian’s £113m release clause.

According to Chronicle Live’s Lee Ryder, the Magpies are among several clubs set to be offered the chance to sign the 25-year-old striker, who is currently on loan at Turkish giants Galatasaray from Napoli.

The former Lille striker has been in scintillating form since joining Galatasaray in September, netting eight goals in nine appearances across all competitions, including six strikes in six Turkish Super Lig.

His latest contribution came in Sunday’s 3-2 victory over Samsunspor, where he scored twice to maintain Galatasaray’s unbeaten run and extend their lead at the Turkish Super Lig summit to six points.
