Cardinal edge No. 5 seed Huskers to reach College Cup

The Stanford women’s soccer team is headed back to the College Cup.

Maya Doms’ overtime goal in the 95th minute on an assist from Allie Montoya secured the secondseeded Cardinal’s 2-1 victory against No. 5 seed Nebraska on Friday at Cagan Stadium. Stanford will face BYU on Dec. 1 in Cary, N.C.

The Cardinal (19-0-4) gave up their first goal of the tournament with three minutes left in regulation, as Sarah Weber knotted it up to give the Cornhuskers (17-4-3) a chance. An own-goal in the 11th minute had them playing from behind nearly the whole game.

Stanford’s last trip to the College Cup came in 2019, the year they beat North Carolina for the national championship, its third overall (2011, 2017).

The Cardinal haven’t lost since BYU beat them in penalty kicks in the second round of last season’s NCAA Tournament.

FIFA disciplines Argentina, Brazil

FIFA opened disciplinary cases against Argentina and Brazil on Friday after fan violence at the Maracana Stadium delayed the start of a World Cup qualifying game.

The Argentine soccer federation was charged with crowd disturbances and the late kick off at Tuesday's game in Rio de Janeiro.

The Brazilian federation was charged with failures of managing security at a game it organized, FIFA said.

Fights among fans broke out after the national anthems. The teams were led back to the locker rooms and the game started 27 minutes late.

“There was family of the players (there). We were more worried about that than playing the match,” Argentina captain Lionel Messi said.

Argentina won the game 1-0.

NBA: The NBA says it is investigating an accusation that Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey had an improper relationship with an underage girl.

In a since-deleted post, an anonymous social media user said a girl who is seen with Giddey in videos and photographs was a high school junior at the time. The social media account has since been deactivated.

Giddey is an Australian who turned 21 in October.

“We’re looking into it,” Michael Bass, an NBA spokesman, said Friday.

Giddey had no comment when questioned Friday at practice.

“Yeah, I mean, I understand the question, obviously,” he said. “But there’s no further comment right now.”

NFL: Miami safety Jevon Holland called the MetLife Stadium turf “trash” after teammate Jaelan Phillips injured his right Achilles tendon in the

Dolphins' 34-13 win over the New York Jets on Friday.

Phillips was carted from the field late in the fourth quarter, a non-contact injury that reignited the turf-vs.-grass debate among players.

“Since I’ve been in the league, I’ve heard the field is trash,” said Holland, whose 99-yard interception return for a touchdown in the first half helped lead Miami to the victory.

“I don’t know the statistics or anything like that, but I do know turf does increase the chances of getting hurt.”
