Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over. But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over, conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.

Chelsea rode Enzo Fernandez’s 23rd-minute header to eke out a 1-0 win over Leeds in the second semi-final of FA Cup 2025-26 at the Wembley Stadium on Sunday (April 26). The Blues thus set up a meeting with Manchester City in the May 16 summit clash. Chelsea’s run in the FA Cup is salvaging a campaign that has derailed after an embarrassing exit from the Champions League and five consecutive losses in the Premier League. It has been the team’s worst run of league results in 114 years and led to the midweek dismissal of manager Liam Rosenior. Calum McFarlane, Rosenior’s unheralded assistant, has taken control of Chelsea until the end of the season and will now be leading the team back out at Wembley, in search of a ninth FA Cup title and a first since 2018.

Al-Ahli of Saudi Arabia successfully defended the AFC Champions League Elite crown after beating first-time finalist Machida Zelvia of Japan 1-0 on Saturday. It took an extra-time goal from Saudi international striker Firas Al-Burikan to settle a bad-tempered final in front of 60,000 mainly Al-Ahli fans in Jeddah. Al-Ahli played with 10 men for almost an hour but Machida was unable to make the advantage count. There were few scoring opportunities in the first half although Al-Ahli, owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, should have taken the lead when Brazilian winger Galeno broke free of the Machida defense only to see his low shot saved by goalkeeper Kosei Tani. Just before the break, Merih Demiral’s close-range effort was blocked on the line.
