The table is so tight that the title race and the fight to survive relegation looks like going to the wire, with teams battling for Europe still also looking over their shoulder at the relegation zone.

Turkey's return to the World Cup after 24 years was marked by a narrow victory over Kosovo, who nearly scored with a shot that hit the bar.

Mohamed Meite scored his first Pro League goal to put Al-Taawoun ahead late in the first half, wriggling away from Mohammed Mahzari and firing home at the near post.

The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) held the draw on Wednesday to determine the quarterfinal pairings, a day after announcing that the western zone playoffs that were postponed because of the war in the Middle East have been rescheduled for April 13-14 in Jeddah.

The Ecuadorian was billed as a replacement for Theo Hernandez when he joined Milan from Brighton last summer, lumbered with unreasonable comparison from the start. Hernandez, at his best, was one of the most effective attacking full-backs on the planet. Estupinan, at 28, is yet to put himself in that conversation, but the hope was that he could offer some of the same directness and ability to get up and down the left flank.

Of course, I had to settle in first. I had an adjustment period, so things didn't quite go as planned on the pitch at the beginning. I had to get to know my teammates, and they had to get to know me - how to interact on the pitch, how to play together. That took a little while. But now, in the last few games, I'm very happy with my performances and how I've played.

Despite dragging themselves over the finishing line last season as they clung to their Super Lig status, it is no secret that Erling Moe's men are pencilled in as a standout relegation candidate in 2026. In fact, the former Molde boss has seen his downbeat squad register just a single victory from any of their previous 11 consecutive appearances across all competitions - a rut that stems all the way back to November 29th.

Yeh [the atmosphere was the best]. I think it has to be one of the best, if not the best games I've been part of, just in every facet. Like defending, attacking, the amount of chances we created, not giving away any chances. I thought it was really something that Saturday, so we hope we can do it like almost every home game, to be honest. The things you heard, like from the years past in Manchester, you think that you hope you can experience those nights. And I think that Saturday was one of them. So you try to, in the future, get as many of those nights as possible and then, hopefully, get some trophies.

Seeing all these huge teams come to little Bodo is amazing but, of all of them, I like least to lose to Tromso. It is a rivalry as curious as it is passionately contested, with the two clubs lying some 300 miles apart, such is the vastness of the Norwegian north.

Turkiye's main Kurdish football team has been fined for ideological propaganda in favour of Kurdish forces in northern Syria, the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) has said. Amedspor FC, which is based in Diyarbakir, the main city in the Kurdish-majority southeast, was fined 802,500 Turkish lira (nearly $18,500) and its president slapped with a 15-day suspension from all football activity, the TFF said in a statement late on Thursday.
