The referee abandoned the game with some five minutes remaining shortly after Palmeiras’ second goal condemned the home side to a 2-0 defeat. Police fired percussion grenades as angry fans threw objects and fought on the terraces and officials decided it was not safe for the players to continue. Many people had already left the Mineirao stadium before the end as scuffles broke out among fans furious at the club’s plight.
Tampa are 6-7 for the season but at least that's one more win than in 2018. Even so, it's now 12 seasons without a post season play-off place, so back to the drawing board for next season. The Buccaneers are in good form though with three straight wins, last weekend seeing them get a narrow 38-35 win over Indianapolis Colts.

Both teams have ambitions of playing in Europe next season but sit just outside the top 7. Groningen host 8th place Utrecht in the Holland Eredivisie. Groningen are unbeaten in their last four matches against Utrecht and under 2.
There was no holding back from the players, either physically or in terms of verbal encouragement, although those expecting a blizzard of after-the-watershed bad language would have been disappointed. The shouts were mainly of encouragement, with Blades manager Chris Wilder the more vocal and visible manager, spending far more time out on the touchline with assistant Alan Knill than his Villa counterpart Smith.
Benfica have won their last 14 Liga Nos games in a row. Benfica have kept clean sheets in 62% of their matches (conceding six goals in 17 games).

Manager Nuno Espirito Santo is counting on the atmosphere at Molineux to inspire his team when they face Espanyol in the first leg of their Europa League last-32 tie on Thursday. Wolves, runners-up in the competition in 1972 when it was known as the Uefa Cup, began this season's run in July. The group stages, all the games were a full house," said Nuno. We want to have this atmosphere at Molineux, our fans helping us, creating a fantastic atmosphere.
This time, the team is not quite so loaded with big names but what Inzaghi has done over the last couple of years is patiently put together a side that is now arguably greater than the sum of its parts. This, by and large, is the same Lazio team that finished eighth last season with a defence and midfield that regularly features four players 32 or older. Having tinkered with formations in the past, Inzaghi settled on 3-5-2 this season and it has clicked, with every player understanding their roles and executing their tasks to near perfection.
Four years, four seasons. Buying one of the best goalkeepers in the world, buying one of the best centre-backs in the world and so on and so on and so on. I'm focused on my three-year contract. I believe that in my three-year contract we can win trophies. If we don't, but the club does it in the new era if I stay here only for three years, I will be happy with that. Tottenham spent more than £100m last summer, including on record buy Tanguy Ndombele, who has made just two substitute appearances since the restart, but also endured a string of injuries to key players earlier this season.
The Portuguese was also involved in a slick move that saw Walker scoop a shot just off target from Adama Diakhaby's left-wing centre. But the closest the hosts came to an equaliser was when Sarr's sliced clearance from Carl Jenkinson hit the bar and went over. Chances were limited after the break, with Charlton wasting numerous good attacking positions and Tomer Hemed guilty of some wayward finishing.
Time and again the visitors were able to find space, particularly in the channels between each full-back and centre-back, and should have exploited that to a far greater extent than they managed. Only a combination of poor finishing and an excellent display by the two Spurs centre-backs (particularly the impressive Davinson Sanchez) kept the tie alive on a night that still saw the hosts take a lead and an away goal back to Germany.

I came on at half-time and we were dominating the ball but we weren't good enough in the final third. We didn't have a real chance. It was tough. As the game goes on, you think 'this is going to be one of those games where we can't score'. At full-time] everyone went in to the dressing and there was swearing, people moaning and then it went silent. Then Roy and his staff announced that they were leaving and it was: 'Oh God.
Let's try with goals in this match from Turkmenistan elite league and for me, this is pretty ok and real to try. So, let's start from the home team and that is Energetic. This team is start new season very good because they are in first round won in duel at home even 2-1, so probably we can say for them, that they are favorites here. Rival is played in last match just 1-1, but in last official duel against them, they are beat Energetik at home with even 3-0. It will be interesting today and I believe efficient, really.
West Ham and Aston Villa have been rumoured as potential destinations but if those clubs remain in the top flight, David Moyes and Dean Smith would expect to stay where they are. And if either club went down, would Dyche be happy to drop down a league? If other options became known, would they offer as much freedom as he has at Burnley?"Dyche is a totalitarian manager," said Jonathan Walters, who spent the last two injury-plagued years of his career under Dyche at Burnley before he retired in March 2019.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says David de Gea is "the best goalkeeper in the world". De Gea was criticised heavily during Friday's 1-1 Premier League draw at Tottenham by former United captain Roy Keane, working as a television pundit. However, Solskjaer has backed De Gea. I don't think it is a bad run when you concede two goals in seven games, which included matches against Man City, Chelsea, Tottenham and Everton.
It is worth taking a closer look at Rangers' opening goal in their 2-1 win at Celtic Park on Sunday, scored by Ryan Kent and illustrative of the very serious title credentials Steven Gerrard's team now carry with them. We think of how it all ended, the excellent Borna Barisic playing it into Kent and the midfielder sweeping it first-time past Fraser Forster, but it was how it started that made it such an impressive thing.

This is a club that slowly lost one of the strongest spines world football has ever seen, and, rather than replace them, elected to try short-term fixes or rely on individual brilliance. Former Chelsea player Eden HazardGetty Images And then they sold that individual brilliance and couldn’t spend to replace it.
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard says striker Tammy Abraham is "relatively positive" after meeting a specialist in Barcelona about his ankle injury. Lampard remains uncertain about the length of the 22-year-old's absence after he missed Chelsea's 2-2 league draw with Bournemouth on Saturday. A return date for American winger Christian Pulisic, 21, is also unknown. I'm hoping they might be fit over the next week or two, I just can't say that with clarity," Lampard said.
The visitors lost on the road once again on Monday night, with their defeat at Derby coming against an injury-hit, 10-man side. It wasn’t the greatest night for manager Lee Bowyer, although the Charlton boss is still dealing with an injury crisis of his own. They are set to miss as many as 10 players for this trip to Swansea.
He had a bit of a bounce, but it wasn't good enough, and they were still amongst it at the end of the season. In the end, they did it. The fans came on and showed what it meant to them.

That is Farke's job. Perhaps he felt the best way to coax a more rounded performance from Buendia was to drop the 23-year-old. He would later clarify those comments further saying that he was 95 per cent happy with Buendia but the point holds. In the three matches he did not make the startling eleven in February – against Newcastle, Liverpool and Wolves - Norwich scored zero goals.
Resumption of the season in Romania after a three-month break. The two teams ended up here in the relegation round. Sepsi finished ninth, Hermannstadt Zehneter with 8 points less. Sepsi also played draws in both games of this round, Hermannstadt is still undefeated with a win and a draw, and here too I assume a draw at restart. Both teams are fighting for survival, but the home team has played much better lately and has not lost in the last 4 games. I think they will continue at a good pace and both the team should have a cagey affair here
Santa Clara playing far from their pitch. They are pretty safe on table and can be very relax in this game. Visitors still have chances to survive but I am not sure how big they are. Still, I can see here open game for goal more and both teams to try to win. Not many option for visitors. They must attack and try to score as early as they can but Santa Clara is good team with many good players in, and they are team who love to create chances and score goals. I can see value in over 2.5 goals here.
Laurent Robert (65. Jonjo Shelvey (64. Only Jamie Vardy (15) has been involved in more Premier League goals this season than Kevin de Bruyne (four goals, nine assists).

However, some club executives feel protecting next season is more important than how this one ends. Like any businesses, football clubs hate uncertainty. Indications are that Sky will not ask for the money they have paid for this season back. However, if the middle of June arrives with no indication when the 2020-21 campaign will begin, they are unlikely to hand over their first payment - and that would concern every club as it would chop off funding.

However, the Daily Star say the club will only resume transfer plans once there is clarity with the future of the game. That also applies to contracts, which means Gini Wijnaldum could be set to enter next season with less than a year left on his deal. Paper Round’s view: It seems sensible to put transfer talk on the back seat for now, with no clear plan yet when the season will restart and when the transfer window could open or shut.

TALKING POINT - Jordi Alba’s absence will add to Quique Setien injury headache Setien could have done without another injury to a key player, but now he has one with Alba withdrawn early in the first half with a right adductor injury. This surely means the left back will face a race against time to be fit for the Champions League last 16 tie against Napoli and the Clasico against Real Madrid at the start of next month.
The aim of Aston Villa’s summer spending spree was to cement their place back in the top flight after their first ever relegation from the Premier League. So far, splashing the cash has had mixed results at Villa Park.
The 55-year-old said "Sieg Heil", which in German means "hail victory", on the Dutch edition of Fox Sports after a German coach was interviewed by one of the channel's reporters for the De Eretribune show on Sunday.
