Valencia get back to winning ways with victory over Betis
MADRID — Valencia stopped the rot by securing their first win in six matches on Saturday as Kevin Gameiro and Dani Parejo scored in a 2-1 victory over Real Betis.Gameiro's curling shot flew in off the post at Mestalla before Parejo added a late second to give Valencia a much-needed boost in their pursuit of La Liga's top four.Loren Moron fired in a consolation for Betis deep in injury-time.Valencia had also been disrupted by the spread of coronavirus after a sports journalist covering the team was confirmed last week to have contracted the illness, prompting the club to cancel all press activity before and after the game.The result lifts Albert Celades' side to seventh in La Liga while Betis drop to 13th, their own sticky patch extended to seven matches without a win.After...

Leeds close on West Brom despite Casilla absence
LONDON — Leeds United made light of being without suspended goalkeeper Kiko Casilla as they overpowered Hull 4-0 on Saturday to keep pace with English Championship leaders West Bromwich Albion.Victory left second-placed Leeds just a point behind the Baggies, who suffered a surprise setback later Saturday when losing 1-0 at home to relegation-threatened Wigan in a match where Sam Morsey's 73rd-minute goal at The Hawthorns moved the Latics out of the bottom three.Third-placed Fulham remained in touch with the leading duo thanks to a 2-0 win over Preston, with David Nugent's 58th-minute own-goal the difference until Aboubakar Kamara scored in stoppage-time to the relief of the home crowd at Craven Cottage.Only the top two clubs at the end of the regular season are guaranteed...

Wilder keeping cornerman Breland, vows to 'rise again'
LOS ANGELES — Dethroned world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder plans to keep co-trainer Mark Breland in his corner as he targets a possible rematch with Tyson Fury.Wilder hinted he was ready to part company with Breland earlier this week following the cornerman's decision to throw in the towel in the seventh round of last Saturday's defeat to Fury in Las Vegas.However in a statement late Friday, former WBC champion Wilder said Breland will remain as part of his support staff."I'm a warrior. I feel the same way I felt on fight night -- if I have to go out, I want to go out on my shield," Wilder said."But I understand that my corner and my team has my best interest at heart. Mark Breland is still a part of Team Wilder and our team looks forward to preparing...

New Zealand salvage win, India stay unbeaten at women's T20 World Cup
MELBOURNE — New Zealand salvaged an unlikely victory against Bangladesh Saturday to set up a crunch clash against Australia for a place in the women's T20 World Cup semifinals, as impressive India kept their unbeaten record intact.Coming off a narrow loss to India, the White Ferns won the toss and opted to bat on a slow Junction Oval pitch in Melbourne.But after reaching 66 for two they collapsed to 91 all out, as Ritu Moni grabbed a tournament-best 4-18 with back-up from fine fielding.A first World Cup victory for Bangladesh since 2014 was within reach, but they blew the chance with sloppy batting and poor running between the wicket seeing them bundled out for 74."Obviously nowhere near what we wanted to post today, but Bangladesh were fantastic, they put us under pressure on a...
