Henry off the mark as Impact win MLS opener
LOS ANGELES — Thierry Henry's Major League Soccer managerial career got off to a winning start as Montreal Impact came from behind to defeat New England Revolution 2-1 in their season-opener on Saturday.A superb lobbed 80th-minute finish from Argentinian striker Maxi Urruti secured all three points for the Impact, who appointed former France and Arsenal star Henry as manager in November.Urruti's winner, lifting the ball over New England goalkeeper Matt Turner from the edge of the area, came just moments after Revs substitute Wilfried Zahibo had a goal chalked off for offside after a video review.Earlier Teal Bunbury had fired New England into the lead at the Olympic Stadium with a 13th-minute volley after a well-worked move from a corner.Romell Quioto headed Montreal level in the...

Harris saves England blushes at LA Sevens
LOS ANGELES — England needed a last-gasp try to scrape into the knockout rounds of the Los Angeles Sevens on Saturday and deny minnows Spain a place in the last eight.England had been heading for a humiliating early exit as they trailed New Zealand 21-12 as the buzzer sounded at Carson's Dignity Health Sports Park.However the English kept their cool and engineered an overlap for 20-year-old Ben Harris, who outpaced the New Zealand cover to score near the posts.Although the late try could not prevent New Zealand from a 21-17 victory that guaranteed top spot in Pool D, the scoreline vaulted England over Spain into second place on points difference.Spain, who had earlier stunned England 22-5, just missed out on a place in the Cup knockout rounds, with England's late try against New...

New Zealand bowling 'pack' leave Kohli's India reeling at 90-6
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand — New Zealand fast bowler Trent Boult said his side's "pack" mentality had left India reeling a day two of the second Test on which 16 wickets fell including another cheap dismissal for Virat Kohli in Christchurch on Sunday.At stumps India led by just 97 lead with only four wickets remaining and three days to play.Kohli's side dismissed New Zealand for 235 to take a seven-run first innings lead, but they stuttered to 90 for six at stumps with Boult taking three for 12 off nine overs."The bowlers obviously pitched the ball up nicely and got rewards seeing the ball move around like it did. I feel we're in a decent position," Boult said."We're all enjoying hunting out there as a pack, getting the ball to move around, and I...

Kennedy's stunning 63 secures his second New Zealand Open
WELLINGTON — Brad Kennedy carded a remarkable eight-under-par final-round 63 to come from behind to win golf's New Zealand Open by two strokes on Sunday.Kennedy, who won the tournament in 2011, started the day two shots behind fellow Australian Lucas Herbert but stormed to victory at the Millbrook Resort course in Queenstown, finishing on 21 under-par 264."To do this again after nine years is just unbelievable," said Kennedy of his second win in the event which is co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour and the Australasia PGA Tour."I actually posted a number in my head last night, 21 was the number, and I didn't think I'd reach it but I just knew that this course was out there to be had, the course is playing unbelievable."The in-form Herbert, who won the...

SYDNEY — Laura Wolvaardt smacked a crucial 53 as South Africa whipped Pakistan to keep their unbeaten streak intact on Sunday and join India in the women's Twenty20 World Cup semi-finals.Proteas captain Dane van Niekerk won the toss and opted to bat on a slow track at Sydney Showgrounds, with her team making a competitive 136 for six, boosted by Wolvaardt's late fireworks.In reply Pakistan, missing captain Bismah Maroof who was ruled out of the tournament on Saturday with a broken thumb, could only manage 119 for five.South Africa have now won three from three in Group B — including a six-wicket humbling of England and a 113-run thumping of Thailand — to make only their second T20 semi-final following their efforts in 2014.If England beat the West Indies later Sunday, they...

'It is not over': Klopp warns Liverpool after unbeaten run ends
WATFORD, England — Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insisted the title is not won yet after his side were beaten for the first time in 45 games in the Premier League as Watford thrashed the European champions 3-0 on Saturday.Klopp's men still enjoy a 22-point lead at the top of the table and need a maximum of four wins from their remaining 10 games to secure a first league title for 30 years.However, defeat at Vicarage Road continues a downturn in form as they sneaked past relegation-threatened Norwich and West Ham in their two previous league games and lost the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie to Atletico Madrid."What the boys did so far is exceptional but it is not over," said Klopp."We did not expect the number of games we won. It was never easy and it...
