21 h. ago Girelli double sends Italy to Euro 2025 last four as Hegerberg misses spot

Jubilant Italy reached their first major women’s tournament semi-final since 1997 as Cristiana Girelli’s 90th-minute header beat a Norway side who had seen their captain Ada Hegerberg miss a crucial penalty earlier in the second half.Norway, managed by the former Wales coach Gemma Grainger, were disappointing for the first hour of the contest but appeared to be the stronger side in the latter stages after equalising through Hegerberg’s low finish in normal play, before Girelli’s back-post header won the game with her second goal of the match and sent the Italians wild.

3 d. ago DJ Nick León on Rosalía, regional Latin club sounds and rejecting success: ‘I was losing my edge’

Early success left the Miami producer feeling risk-averse. He quit touring to discover his muggy, magical sound – and accidentally scored another hit with Erika de CasierA few years ago, Nick León made a hit. Not a hit hit, like a Drake/Sabrina/Taylor hit, but a hit in certain circles. His single Xtasis, made with the Venezuelan producer DJ Babatr, was one of the defining club tracks of 2022. Named track of the year by Resident Advisor and a staple at parties throughout the summer and autumn, it launched León from his status as one of Miami’s most interesting underground DJs into the international club circuit.“It was like, we’re hitting the ground running – we’re gonna be touring and DJing all the time, and there was this mission of spreading the music that so many people have been playing already, from Latin America and the US,” León recalls of this period, sweating through his tie-dye T-shirt in an east London cafe in June.

In a photograph that accompanied Fifa’s press release its president, Gianni Infantino, was pictured with union officials from all over the world, but many of them were from organisations expelled from Fif...
