介绍:
China win Olympic qualifier against Vietnam Kicking things off with women's football action. China have won their first Olympic qualifier against Vietnam 2-0. A volley from Gu Yasha and a penalty from Zhang Rui made sure China got off to a good start at the 6-team tournament. Next up for China are North Korea on Wednesday. The top two teams of the tournament will qualify for Rio. Sunday football recap In more football action, Manuel Pellegrini will end his reign at Manchester City with at least the League Cup trophy. City defeated Liverpool on penalties 4-2 to claim their second title in three years. It went into a penalty shootout after regular and extra time ended in a 1-all draw. City's second choice goalkeeper Willy Caballero's heroic saves that blocked three of City's spot kicks justified Pellegrini's decision to field him over Joe Hart. Pellegrini relished their success at the post-game conference. "Well, very happy. Not because it's my final season but very happy for a lot of things. Very happy for the performance of the team because we played against a very difficult team like Liverpool and a lot of you were remembering the game that we lost at the Etihad (Stadium). So I think that tonight we played very well. Very happy for Willy Caballero because I think that he deserved this moment. Happy to win a title in February. Other titles up for grabs for City are the Premier League and Champions League. They are one foot in the Champions League last eight having come away with a 3-1 victory over Dynamo Kiev in the first leg. They are fourth place and nine points behind Premier League leaders Leicester but have a game in hand. There was a major upset in the domestic league as second-placed Arsenal were handed a 3-2 defeat by Manchester United. United's rising teenage star Marcus Rashford was on target again with another two goals following his mid-week double in the Europa League against Midtjylland. United manager Louis van Gaal has his plans for such promising players. "Youngsters always give a spirit to the team I have a lot of experience with that and that is a very important part of my philiosophy." The defeat by United knocked Arsenal to third place behind Tottenham who are the winners of a 2-1 scoreline against Swansea. In La Liga, Barcelona extended their lead to eight points with a 2-1 win over Sevilla. French Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint Germain's undefeated run this season came to a halt as they went down to Lyon 2-1. There is no need to worry about the lead though, as they are 23 points ahead of second-placed Monaco. And it is Juventus continuing to occupy the top spot in Serie A after defeating Inter Milan 2-0. All winning records for Chinese teams at table tennis championships Chinese teams are unchallenged at the World Team Table Tennis Championships in Kuala Lumpur. Xu Xin, Zhang Jike and Fan Zhendong won all their matches against Chinese Taipei to guarantee a clean sheet for the men's team in the group stages. Fan had earlier swept North Korea with teammates Ma Long, Fang Bo. The team defeated Greece 3-0 in their opening match. The women's team had more trouble against Romania but managed to escape unscathed. Li Xiaoxia was forced into the deciding set for the second day in a row. She defeated her opponent 3-2 to give China the edge. Both Zhu Yuling and Liu Shiwen had straight sets victories. The ladies are dominating the group with two previous collective successes against Hungary and hosts Malaysia. They next take on Spain tomorrow. CBA/NBA recap In the CBA play-offs, Liaoning jumped to a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five series having rolled over Guangdong 103-88. Sichuan have the same advantage after edging out Xinjiang 96-93 in overtime. Imports Hamed Haddadi, Justin Dentmon and Mike Harris combined for 84 points in the victory. In off-court action, Guangdong's Yi Jianlian is the CBA's regular season MVP for the fourth time in a row. Yi played in all 38 regular season games and averaged 26.7 points. Guangdong qualified for the play-offs from fourth place. Fifth placed Shandong's Michael Beasley is the foreign MVP with an average of 31.7 points. He was also the All-Star game MVP with 63 points and 19 rebounds. In the NBA this morning, Jeremy Lin scored 15 points in his most productive night this month but couldn't stop Charlotte from going down to Atlanta 87-76. LeBron James was rotated out of the Cleveland squad. They lost to Washington 113-99. Kyle Lowry is also taking a break. His Toronto suffered a 114-101 defeat at the hands of Detroit. Portland got past Indiana 111-102. Orlando sank Philadelphia 130-116 as the 76ers show no sign of improving in their seven-game losing streak. Dallas hammered Minnesota 128-101. And New York's chances at the play-offs are fading after a 98-81 blow by Miami. Golf recap In golf, Adam Scott fired an even-par 70 for a one-shot victory at the Honda Classic in Florida. Elsewhere, Louis Oosthuizen managed to hold on for a one-stroke victory at the Perth International. The South African had some early birdies on the front nine to allow some bogeys. Early leader Peter Uihlein had another triple bogey to finish tied for fourth place. Staying in Australia, at the Ladies Masters in Queensland, It is South Korea's Shin Jiyai winning by three shots after a four-under 69.
