GOAL! Ajax 0-1 Galatasaray (Osimhen 59). A cross flashes in from the right. Osimhen stoops to flash a header home from close range. And not long after …

Share

GOAL! Benfica 0-1 Bayer Leverkusen (Schick 65). Benfica have been the better side, but theyâ€re behind. Patrik Schick has a whack from a tight angle on the left. Itâ€s batted away by the Benfica keeper Anatoliy Trubin, but a poor defensive header comes straight back to Schick, who heads home from close range.

Share

GOAL! Brugge 3-2 Barcelona (Forbs 64). Barca werenâ€t level for long! Carlos Forbs is sent clear down the middle and dinks over Wojciech SzczÄsny to reclaim the lead for the Belgians!

Share

GOAL! Brugge 2-2 Barcelona (Yamal 60). Eric García strides down the inside-left channel and launches a rising drive that caroms off the crossbar at warp speed. Had that nestled in the top-right corner, it would have been up there in the central-defender canon with Micky van de Venâ€s effort last night. Seriously. But never mind, because Barca come again, Lamine Yamal exchanging elegant passes down the inside-right with a back-flicking Fermin Lopez, before flicking a shot across the keeper and into the bottom left! What a sequence!

Share

GOAL! Internazionale 1-1 Kairat (Arad 55)

A Kairat corner comes in from the left. Carlos Augusto heads it straight up into the air. Ofri Arad battles to get to the dropping ball first, and powers a header into the left-hand side of the net, Yann Sommer no chance!

Share

GOAL! Manchester City 3-0 Borussia Dortmund (Foden 57)

… but itâ€s not Haaland who gets his second goal. Not yet, anyway. Here comes Phil Foden, spinning into space by the right-hand side of the D and curling powerfully into the bottom left. Almost a carbon copy of his first!

Manchester City 2-0 Borussia Dortmund. Erling Haaland fancies a second, and latches onto a pass down the inside-left channel to swing a shot straight at Gregor Kobel from a tight angle.

Share

Brugge 2-1 Barcelona. Christos Tzolis rolls a pass down the inside-left channel to release Joaquin Seys, who stabs a shot from a tight angle straight at Wojciech SzczÄsny. Barca go up the other end, Marcus Rashford cutting in from the left to cause bother, the ball breaking to Lamine Yamal, who slaps a shot straight at Nordin Jackers. Itâ€s still 2-1; it could be 3-2.

Share

GOAL! Newcastle United 2-0 Athletic Club (Joelinton 49)

Itâ€s third time lucky for Joelinton, who has had one goal chalked off for offside, and missed a sitter. Now he meets Harvey Barnes†dinked cross from the left. He canâ€t go wrong from six yards, and plants a header into the top left. Great work from Barnes, too, whose shot from the left-hand edge had been blocked; he kept his concentration to pick up the rebound, burst down the channel, and carve out the assist.

Half-time postbag. “In the derby of famously cursed teams, Leverkusen have been dreadful, though Benfica havenâ€t been able to score, despite plenty of attempts. If either team loses this match, their chances of qualifying for the knockouts will be very slim, but only Benfica seem to be aware of that†– Kári Tulinius

“A long-range header is always good because unlike close ones, thereâ€s a bit of skill to get the ball out of the keeperâ€s reach in a way that a closer-in one needs more power to do the same. There are some exceptions to that though: Jared Borgettiâ€s header v Italy from the six-yard box is a fine one, because of the deliberate way itâ€s placed to wrong-foot the goalkeeper†– Andy ‘Not That One†Flintoff

“Does Barca have a sponsorship deal with Stabilo?†– Mike Jarrey

FULL TIME: QarabaÄŸ 2-2 Chelsea. The two-time winners took a point back from their 5,000-mile round-trip to Baku, but they were made to work for it. Jacob Steinberg was in Azerbaijanâ€s capital city to witness an entertaining match, and hereâ€s his report.

The half-times

• Ajax 0-0 Galatasaray

• Benfica 0-0 Bayer Leverkusen

• Brugge 2-1 Barcelona

• Internazionale 1-0 Kairat

• Manchester City 2-0 Borussia Dortmund

• Marseille 0-0 Atalanta

• Newcastle United 1-0 Athletic Club

Share

Newcastle United 1-0 Athletic Club. Joelinton has already had a goal chalked off. He should make up for it here, setting himself up by bulldozing his way through a busy box down the inside-left channel, but leans back and lifts his shot over an unguarded net.

Share

GOAL! Internazionale 1-0 Kairat (Martínez 45). The mother of all scrambles in the Kairat box. Pio Espositoâ€s header is blocked. Lautaro Martínez picks up the rebound … and his shot is blocked. Itâ€s third time lucky for Inter, and Martínez, who dinks home, then celebrates by head-butting a nearby camera. Where is the love?!

Updated at 16.03 EST

Newcastle United 1-0 Athletic Club. That attempt on goal was Anthony Gordonâ€s last action of the night. Heâ€s hurt his hip, and canâ€t continue. Jacob Murphy comes on in his stead. Thatâ€s a blow for the England winger with an international break coming up.

Share

Newcastle United 1-0 Athletic Club. Newcastle are pressing hard for another. Harvey Barnes pings a cute pass down the inside-right channel to release Sandro Tonali, who digs out a cross that Nick Woltemade canâ€t head goalwards. But the ball breaks to Anthony Gordon, who blazes over the bar from a tight-ish angle on the left. That was a decent chance, but not a sitter by any means.

Share

Newcastle United 1-0 Athletic Club. A free kick for Kieran Trippier out on the left. He curls it into the mixer, hoping lightning will strike twice with Dan Burn. But he overhits the free kick to such an extent that even the six-feet-seven-inch defender canâ€t reach it.

Share

Manchester City 2-0 Borussia Dortmund. Serhou Guirassy goes over the top of the ball and lands his studs on Jeremy Dokuâ€s shin. The boot scrapes down onto the top of Dokuâ€s boot, the final landing spot. That gives both referee and VAR an out, which they cowardly grab, ignoring the first shin impact. It should have been a red card.

GOAL! Manchester City 2-0 Borussia Dortmund (Haaland 29)

… well, Dortmund clear it. But Savinho comes back at them down the right. His low cross is parried by keeper Kobel. However the ball ends up with Doku on the other flank. He reaches the byline and cuts back for that man Haaland, who swivels on the spot to lash into the right-hand side of the net. Just as well Kobel didnâ€t get to that one, because it might have taken his hand off.

Manchester City 1-0 Borussia Dortmund. Erling Haaland has been racking up the goals, but he could have added an assist here. He rolls a pass from the left-hand edge of the Dortmund D to Nico Oâ€Reilly, who leans back and flippers a rising shot towards the top left. Gregor Kobel does extremely well to tip over. But from the resulting corner …

Share

Ajax 0-0 Galatasaray. A Galatasaray corner comes in from the left. Victor Osimhen rises highest and plants a header towards the bottom right. Remko Pasveer turns it around the post. What an effort, what a save. Rock-bottom Ajax are desperate for their first point of this league campaign; that itâ€s come to this for the four-time champions.

Share

GOAL! Manchester City 1-0 Borussia Dortmund (Foden 22)

Tijjani Reijnders finds Phil Foden in a pocket of space just to the right of the Dortmund D. Foden spins, takes a touch, picks his spot, opens his body, and threads a low curler around Gregor Kobel and into the bottom left. Thatâ€s such a cute goal.

Newcastle United 1-0 Athletic Club. Newcastle have Nick Pope to thank for their still being in the lead. Unai Gomez tears off down the right, enters the box, and tries to beat Pope at his near post. His low drive is kicked around the post, a brilliant save. And then from the resulting corner, Adama Boiro pearls a rising shot from the edge of the box off the left-hand post!

Share

GOAL! Brugge 2-1 Barcelona (Forbs 16). Barca are pressing forward, but the ball is lost and punted upfield. From the halfway line, Carlos Forbs and Hans Vanaken one-two at speed, the former racing off down the inside-right channel before entering the box, opening his body, and flipping a shot across Wojciech SzczÄsny and into the left-hand side of the net.

Marseille 0-0 Atalanta. This is all about Marseille keeper Gerónimo Rulli, whose poor pass out allows Nikola Krstović to race back into the box and attempt to round him. Krstović goes over Rulli, who catches him. Penalty … which is then turned around the post by Rulli. Charles De Ketelaere missed it, a weak effort towards the bottom right.

Share

GOAL! Newcastle United 1-0 Athletic Club (Burn 11)

Newcastle with a free kick out on the right. From a deep position, Sandro Tonali curls it long. Dan Burn, racing in from the other flank, smacks a glorious header from 14 yards across Simon and into the top right! Thatâ€s a pearler of a header. Can a header be a pearler? The Steve Nicol rule, established at Highbury in 1987, says yes.

Newcastle United 0-0 Athletic Club. Joelinton is sent powering down the inside-right channel. He holds off his marker and steers a lovely effort across Unai Simon and into the bottom left. But itâ€s quickly chalked off by VAR for offside. However, no matter, because a couple of minutes later …

Share

GOAL! Brugge 1-1 Barcelona (Torres 8). Well that didnâ€t take long. Almost immediately after kick-off, Fermín López makes good down the right and curls in for Ferran Torres, who twists in mid-air to guide a shot across Nordin Jackers and into the bottom right.

Share

GOAL! Brugge 1-0 Barcelona (Tresoldi 6). Carlos Forbs romps down the right flank and curls a low ball into the Barca box, where Nicolo Tresoldi slides in to direct into the bottom right. Thereâ€s a VAR check for offside, but Forbs timed his initial run just so.

Newcastle United 0-0 Athletic Club. Newcastle by contrast are seeing a little bit more of the ball on their own patch. But itâ€s a slow-enough start at St James†Park as well.

Manchester City 0-0 Borussia Dortmund. The 1997 champions are seeing most of the ball during the (very) early exchanges at the City of Manchester Stadium. A couple of minutes in, and the hosts have hardly touched the thing.

Going into the 8pm kick-offs, hereâ€s how the league phase currently looks. When itâ€s all completed after eight games, the top eight will go through to the round of 16, positions nine to 16 will be seeded in the knockout stage and be drawn against positions 17 to 24, and everyone below will go home. So thatâ€s a pretty big defeat for Villarreal in Cyprus tonight … and Chelsea now have a job on if they want to grab one of those top-eight spots, because they host Barcelona next, and still have to travel to Atalanta and Napoli.

Some good(ish) news for Manchester City fans, as Pep Guardiola tells TNT Sport there is no huge injury issue concerning the absent Rodri. “It doesnâ€t feel perfect, so thatâ€s why we donâ€t take a risk … he will come up … a little, little, little, little setback … he will not be out for a while.â€

FULL TIME: QarabaÄŸ 2-2 Chelsea

QarabaÄŸâ€s first-ever game in the Champions League proper was a 6-0 reverse at Chelsea in 2017. Look at them now. Theyâ€ve come a long way. Speaking of which, Chelsea face a six-hour flight back to Blighty after this extremely disappointing result against a club that had previously lost all seven of their matches against English teams, the last six without troubling the scoreboard. John Brewin has the details.

FULL TIME: Pafos 1-0 Villarreal

The first result of the evening is in … and itâ€s a first-ever victory in the Champions League proper for the Cypriot club! It comes at the expense of the erstwhile Europa League winners, Derrick Luckassen scoring the only goal of the game just after the break.

To be fair, Pafos have already done for the famous Dynamo Kyiv (two-time Cup Winners†Cup champions) and Red Star Belgrade (1991 European champs) in the qualifiers, but you get the point.

The Athletic Department, along with Laurel Health, have worked out dates and times to continue to provide FREE athletic physicals to our student-athletes.

Due to their patient load, they are only able to supply us with one provider, Alison Moss, PA-C, over the course of a few half-days. With this being the case, we have assigned certain days and times to each team to avoid having overflow on some days and no one on others.

If student-athletes can not make their team’s scheduled time, contact your coach to arrange for another day. If not, the student-athlete will have to schedule a physical with their primary care provider on their own time.

Each student-athlete must have:

1. COMPLETED PIAA physical paperwork. Blank forms can be downloaded here or picked up at either the high school or middle school offices.
2. Face mask (not provided) – can be cloth

If these items are not with the student, they will NOT receive a physical at the time. ALL physicals will take place at the high school in the nurse’s office. Students will enter in the Commons and will be greeted by someone to check their paperwork for completion, make sure they have a mask, and to take their temperature before being admitted upstairs for their physical. There may be a line to wait in before the physical is completed.

Here is the schedule as follows:

Tuesday, July 21 – 8:30 am to 12:00 pm

Junior High and Varsity Football
Junior High and Varsity Cross Country

Friday, July 24 – 8:30 am to 12:00 pm

Girls Tennis

Senior Dalton Prough was honored by the Wellsboro Athletic Department on Wednesday, August 8 with a commemorative baseball bat and basketball in recognition of two career milestones.

During basketball season Prough became the 8th Hornet to accumulate 1,000 career points. Prough’s 1,000 point came in another milestone for Wellsboro, as they captured their first District IV Class AAA championship since 1951-52, with a 27-point performance.

In addition, Prough also reached 100 career hits this spring during baseball season. Prough reached that milestone against Southern Columbia in the District IV Class AA semi-finals with two hits, the 100th coming on a bunt single. Prough also joins his brother Dawson Prough (124) in recording over 100 career hits.

“I would like to congratulate Dalton on achieving a couple of athletic milestones,” said former head coach Todd Outman. “Scoring over 1,000 points in basketball and getting 100 hits in baseball is pretty special. Reaching one of these milestones in one sport is impressive, but being able to do it in two sports speaks volumes about his athleticism. More importantly though, is how he able to do it while putting his teammates and team success first. I never saw Dalton concerned about individual accolades. It was always about what do I need to do to make the team successful. I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.”

“Reaching 100 hits in Varsity action is a great achievement,” said father and former head coach Philip Prough. “Especially in today’s era of BB-COR bats. Dalton is able to hit to all fields and is an excellent bunter. That’s a dynamic a lot of hitters don’t possess. As our lead off hitter, Dalton could apply pressure from his very first at-bat of the game.

“I’m glad our school recognizes such accomplishments for their players. It rewards those that work hard to improve while motivating future players to do the same. Dalton was one of many important players in our recent championship runs. I’m confident the returning players will continue that success and hopefully one or two of them will reach this milestone too.”
