Griezmann’s second half strike saves France from Hungary FRANCE need to thank Antoine Griezmann who grabbed their equalizer to ensure they shared the spoils against the very impressive Hungary yesterday. It was fight to finish at the Ferenc Puskas Stadium in Budapest, Hungary as the home team was able to show class against the world champions. The first real attempt came in the 14th minute when goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi did well to get down to Karim Benzema’s effort and then Antoine Griezmann had his effort from close range saved. And three minutes later, Mbappe came close yet again after Lucas Digne’s pinpoint cross from the left was met by the PSG striker, but the France forward guided his header just wide of the right post. Desperate for a goal, France had yet another chance to score in the 36th minute, as Paul Pogba attempted a near-post shot from an acute angle. Despite that France dominated the entire first half, it was Hungary that took the lead just before the halftime break. Varane pushed forward to win the ball and misjudged it, which allowed Roland Sallai to play it in behind and then Attila Fiola kept his composure before finishing past Hugo Lloris. 1-0 Hungary. Didier Deschamp’s men came from the tunnel in the second half blazing from all cylinders. In the 59th minute, Dembele who came in moments away rifled a shot at goal that hit the post and went behind for a free kick. And somehow the French team pulled one back courtesy Antoine Griezmann who was not really involved in the game. A long ball by Lloris was picked up by Mbappe, who remained calm before crossing into the area and the Barcelona man Griezmann was there to fire in the halfcleared ball. Hungary 1-1 France.

A year later, the classy defensive midfielder sealed his legacy in Nigerian football forever when he inspired the Super Eagles to her third continental triumph at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations tournament hosted by South Africa. I’m Nigerian from Edo state, claims Wilder DEONTAY Wilder once claimed he was Nigerian and never stated where he is actually from. In a recent post ahead of the build up to his heavyweight clash with Tyson Fury claims, the Bronzer claims he is from Edo state. In the video, the former WBC champion who has never been to the country was being interviewed and he revealed that he hails from the heartbeat of the nation. In a video posted on Tunde Ednut’s Instagram, Wilder said: “Once I’m done with what I’m doing, I’m going back to see my tribe Edo. I want to go back and learn more about my culture and information with things about me. “I want to see my culture and my ancestors and learn a lot of things. We all have lots of things that we are connected to that we know nothing about. “I’ll love to go there and do research about my roots and my tribe” Brighton join race to sign Onuachu The Seagulls have contacted Onuachu’s agent through an intermediary and talks have started over a deal.

In terms of Premier League clubs, Brighton’s pursuit of Onuachu is under threat from West Ham, who are also tracking the prolific striker. It is thought that Brighton would be in an advantageous position to sign the former FC Midtjylland man as they have a good relationship with Racing Genk. Racing Genk, who sold Leandro Trossard to the Seagulls in the summer of 2019, are demanding a fee in the region of 30 million euros for Onuachu. SUNDAY Vanguard, JUNE 20, 2021, PAGE 31 Abducted Rivers United’s coach, Eguma released THE coach of Rivers United Football Club of Port Harcourt, Stanley Eguma. has been released by his kidnappers.

Bendel Insurance FC reject NNL’s decision against Remo Stars THE management of Bendel Insurance Football Club of Benin have rejected the decision of the Nigeria National Football (NNL) Disciplinary Committee on the case of assault, security breaches and encroachment established against Remo Stars. Media Officer of the club, Kehinde Osagiede in a statement yesterday described as “biased” the Committee’s judgement, stressing that it could be “an instrument for encouraging further violence in Nigeria football, a call to anarchy, and is therefore unacceptable”. “The only substance derivable from the judgment is the untouchable status vested on Remo Stars by NNL. Directing Remo Stars to pay N400,000 to Bendel Insurance FC as damages is a big insult to us and the people of Edo state. Banishment of Remo Stars with no option from their stadium over the encroachment and assault on our players and officials would have been the first action taken against Remo Stars. The failure of the disciplinary committee to mention that in their list of sanctions amounts to suffocation of justice”, the statement read.
