Rome: AS Roma returned to the summit of Serie A on Monday, earning a 2-0 victory against Torino to maintain a perfect 100% winning record four games into the season, with in-form Netherlands striker Donyell Malen netting his sixth goal of the season for the Giallorossi.

Italy midfielder Niccolo Pisilli doubled his account for the campaign to make sure of all three points in the 93rd minute. Torino are in 14th spot in the standings having won just once this season, beating Fiorentina last time out.

Mohamed Salah scored his fourth league goal and provided an assist as Trabzonspor beat Gençlerbirliği 5-0 under their new interim coach.

The Egyptian captain converted a 14th minute penalty and set up Ernest Muçi’s second-half goal at Papara Park. Paul Onuachu scored twice, while substitute Franculino Djú completed the scoring on his debut.

The victory lifted Trabzonspor to seven points from four Turkish Süper Lig matches. Gençlerbirliği remained on seven points after suffering their first defeat of the season.

Salah started on the right of a three-man attack alongside Onuachu and Aral Şimşir and completed the match. His goal took his tally to four in four league appearances, while his pass for Muçi brought his first league assist.

Onuachu opened the scoring in the fifth minute from Şimşir’s assist, giving Trabzonspor an early advantage.

Salah doubled the lead nine minutes later after a VAR intervention resulted in a penalty. The Egyptian converted the spot kick to score in his third consecutive league match.

Wagner Pina then supplied Onuachu for his second goal in the 22nd minute, putting the hosts 3-0 ahead. The Nigerian left the pitch shortly before half-time, with new signing Djú replacing him in the 44th minute.

Salah turned provider in the 59th minute, setting up Muçi for Trabzonspor’s fourth. Djú added the fifth in the 78th minute to mark his first competitive appearance for the club with a goal.

The result gave Çimşir a winning start to his interim spell following Fatih Tekke’s departure. Trabzonspor had lost 2-1 at Amedspor in their previous league outing after exiting the Europa League against Ferencváros.

Salah had scored Trabzonspor’s only goal against Amedspor, having previously opened his account with a match-winning double against İstanbul Başakşehir.

Trabzonspor next visit Konyaspor on September 12, setting up a potential meeting between Salah and fellow Egypt forward Mostafa Mohamed.

Doha, Qatar: World No.1 Mostafa Asal survived a spirited challenge from Switzerland’s Yannick Wilhelmi to advance to the quarter-finals of the 2026 Qatar Classic yesterday.

The reigning World Champion was pushed hard during the high-intensity 48-minute encounter before he eventually secured an 11-5, 11-4, 11-3 victory at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex.

Despite Wilhelmi’s impressive resistance, the top seed Asal dropped just 12 points across the three-game contest to keep his pursuit of a maiden Qatar Classic title on track.

Asal, who has known Wilhelmi since their junior days, was full of praise for the Swiss player after the match.

“Yeah, for sure. I’ve been playing with Yannick all over the years. Since I was 14 or 13, the British Junior Open and the World Open,” Asal said.

“He’s a pretty good guy on and off court and I’m really happy to see him in that place and challenging the top boys. He’s another Swiss on the road. I played against Niki and now Yannick, so I’m pretty pleased with that.”

“I’m trying to make myself as sharp as I can. It’s a big push at the beginning to kick off the season,” Asal, who finished runner up at the Qatar event on the last two occasions, said.

Earlier, World No.9 Marwan ElShorbagy also progressed after overcoming compatriot Curtis Malik 11-5, 11-9, 11-7 in 35 minutes. France’s Gregoire Marche was also victorious, fighting back from losing the opening game to defeat American Timothy Brownell 5-11, 11-6, 11-7, 11-9 in 46 minutes. World No.13 Aly Abou Eleinen also advanced, defeating France’s Baptiste Masotti 11-5, 11-9, 11-2 in 41 minutes.

Meanwhile, on the women’s draw, former World No.1 Nouran Gohar survived a dramatic five-game battle with compatriot Malak Khafagy to book a quarter-final showdown with defending champion Hania El Hammamy.

Making her competitive return after a year away from the PSA Tour following the birth of her first child in April, fifth-seeded Gohar was pushed to the limit in a thrilling 91-minute contest as she eventually prevailed 11-7, 9-11, 13-11, 12-14, 11-9.

“I didn’t enjoy my squash today, but I did enjoy my resilience and mental toughness. I need to go through matches like these,” Gohar said after the win.

On her upcoming quarter-final with El Hammamy, she added: “I’m really looking forward to that match. It’s going to be competitive out there, but no pressure whatsoever. I’m looking forward to the match.”

El Hammamy, meanwhile, continued her title defence with a convincing 11-4, 11-8, 11-7 win over England’s Lucy Turmel in 39 minutes.

Belgium’s Tinne Gilis also produced a commendable performance, overcoming India’s Anahat Singh in five games. Gilis recovered from losing the second and third games to win 11-4, 8-11, 9-11, 11-4, 11-3 in 58 minutes.

Fourth seed Sivasangari Subramaniam also advanced, defeating Egypt’s Salma Hany 12-10, 11-6, 11-5 in just 26 minutes.

Doha, Qatar: Al Sadd will look to carry their flying Qatar Stars League form into the AFC Champions League Elite when they begin their Asian campaign against Iran’s Esteghlal FC at Basra International Stadium today.

The QSL champions have won all four of their matches this season as they defend their title in the top flight and will be aiming to extend that impressive run on the continental stage.

The kick-off is at 9:15pm Qatar time.

Al Sadd, who lifted the Asian title in 2011, reached the quarter-finals of the Elite last season after stunning Saudi giants Al Hilal in the last 16 before suffering a penalty shootout defeat to Japan’s Vissel Kobe.

The Qatar champions will enter the clash with confidence, having won twice and drawn three times in their last five meetings with Esteghlal.

“The match against Esteghlal will be difficult for both teams. We must stay focused from the start to achieve a positive result,”
Al Sadd coach Razvan Lucescu said yesterday.

Pedro Miguel added: “We will give our best to secure a victory and come away with three points, so that we can make a strong start to this year’s tournament.”

The Iranian side are returning to the competition after featuring in the 2024-25 edition, when they failed to score in six of their 10 matches. They will be looking for a stronger campaign this time and a winning start against the Wolves.

Al Shamal ‘excited’ ahead of first match

Al Shamal, meanwhile, will make their debut in the AFC Champions League Elite when they take on two-time champions Al Ittihad at Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor with kick-off set for 7pm.

Al Shamal earned their place in the Elite after finishing runners-up in the QSL last season. They have also made a solid start to the new campaign, recording two wins and two draws in their opening four matches.

They face a major test against an Al Ittihad side determined to challenge for the continental crown after missing out last season. The Saudi club have won their last two matches against Qatari opposition, although this will be their first meeting with Al Shamal.

Spanish coach David Prats said his side were proud to be making their debut in Asia but were aware of the challenge posed by Al Ittihad.

“We are excited about our first-ever participation in the AFC Champions League Elite, and we feel immense pride in being part of the most prestigious club competition in Asia,” Prats said.

“We will be facing one of the best teams in Asia, boasting exceptional players with tremendous potential and extensive experience. However, we will approach the match with the aim of achieving the best possible result and delivering a strong performance worthy of Al Shamal’s name.”

Prats said his players would look to turn the pressure of their first Asian campaign into motivation.

“Our goal is to compete, try to win, enjoy showing the team’s strength and play with the maximum strength possible to prove our capabilities,” he said.

Al Gharafa will be Qatar’s third representative in the Elite, facing Al Hilal in Riyadh tomorrow. The Cheetahs qualified after winning the Amir Cup.
