Celtic midfielder Benjamin Nygren thought he had combined with former Parkhead centre-half Gustaf Lagerbielke to bring Sweden back into their World Cup group game against the Netherlands only to be thwarted by the offside flag in a 5-1 thrashing in Houston. The Dutch were ahead thanks to two goals from Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey when Nygren floated in a free-kick for Lagerbielke, now with Braga, to head home just before half-time. West Ham United winger Crysencio Summerville restored the four-goal advantage as Sweden fell short of the point that would have probably been enough to secure a place in the knock-out stage.
South Africa suffered two expulsions against Mexico in the 2026 World Cup opener, matching the infamous disciplinary record Cameroon established back in 1990. The 2026 World Cup kicked off with high-stakes drama at the Estadio Azteca, where co-hosts Mexico secured a commanding 2-0 victory over South Africa. However, the Group A curtain-raiser will be remembered for its intense physical friction and disciplinary chaos, as Bafana Bafana matched a long-standing, unwanted World Cup record by seeing two of their own players sent off. South Africa’s night got off to a difficult start when Julián Quiñones opened the scoring for Mexico just eight minutes into the match. The mountain became even steeper for the African nation early in the second half when Yaya Sithole received a direct red card in the 50th minute, severely handicapping their comeback efforts. Exploiting the man advantage, Mexican striker Raúl Jiménez doubled the lead with a clinical header, putting the game seemingly out of reach. Any lingering hopes of a miracle comeback completely evaporated in the 84th minute when Themba Zwane was also shown a red card, reducing South Africa to nine men and sealing their place in the tournament’s history books. With those two ejections, South Africa became only the second team in World Cup history to suffer two red cards in a tournament-opening match. The only other team to achieve this unwanted feat was Cameroon during the 1990 World Cup opener in Italy. In that famous match, André Kana-Biyik and Benjamin Massing were both sent off against Argentina. Referee Wilton Sampaio issues a red card to Sphephelo Sithole #13 of South Africa. (Getty Images) The crucial difference between the two historical milestones? While a nine-man Cameroon famously held on to secure a shocking 1-0 victory over Diego Maradona’s reigning champions in 1990, South Africa crumbled to a decisive defeat that leaves them facing an uphill battle to qualify for the knockout stages. Most red cards in a World Cup opener Just when the match at the Azteca looked like it had seen it all, a late flashpoint established a brand-new tournament milestone. Deep into stoppage time, South African defender Khuliso Mudau broke free on a dangerous counterattack to try and cut the deficit. In a desperate bid to stop him, Mexican center-back César Montes brought Mudau down with a reckless, harsh tackle. Brazilian referee Wilton Sampaio blew his whistle and immediately brandished a straight red card to Montes. With that third expulsion, Mexico and South Africa combined to set the ultimate disciplinary milestone, marking the first time in soccer history that three red cards have been handed out in a single World Cup opening match.

Reports have surfaced announcing Benjamin Cremaschi's permanent departure from Lionel Messi's Inter Miami to continue his career in the Italian Serie A. Benjamin Cremaschi was one of the young players who witnessed Inter Miami‘s transformation into one of MLS’s marquee franchises following the arrival of Lionel Messi, having come through the club’s own academy. Now, his chapter with the Herons appears to be drawing to a close, with reports indicating he is set to make a permanent move to Serie A. According to Fabrizio Romano, Parma are set to trigger the €4 million, approximately $4.65 million, purchase option included in the loan deal arranged last summer. With Cremaschi due to return to Fort Lauderdale, the Italian club has decided to make the arrangement permanent. Having made his Inter Miami debut in February 2023 against CF Montréal, Cremaschi developed into one of the club’s most promising homegrown products, navigating an eligibility decision between the Argentina and United States national teams before ultimately committing to the USMNT. Across his time with the Herons, he has accumulated 107 appearances, scoring eight goals and registering nine assists, placing him fifth on the all-time appearances list just ahead of Messi’s 104 games, though Messi is expected to surpass that mark soon. When Messi first arrived at Inter Miami, Cremaschi was candid about what the moment meant to him in an interview with CBS Sports: “I grew up watching him play, watching a lot of Argentina players play, and now I can share the field and the day-to-day life with such a player it’s something I can’t describe. When I knew he was coming to the club I wasn’t really nervous but the first time I saw him in the locker room, which is where I met him I was really nervous, obviously shaking his hand. That was a really nerve-wracking moment.“ Lionel Messi #10 of Inter Miami celebrates scoring with teammate Benjamin Cremaschi. Under Javier Mascherano, however, Cremaschi began to lose his footing in the first team, deployed across multiple positions including winger and left back with little predictability. He famously told a press conference, “I go to matches and I have no idea where I will play,” a statement that spoke volumes about his situation and ultimately set the stage for his loan move to Parma. His first season in European football proved more difficult than anticipated, with Cremaschi managing just 215 minutes across nine appearances before suffering a left lateral meniscus tear in March. Despite the setback, Parma, who secured their Serie A survival, have shown enough faith in the 21-year-old to make the move permanent. Inter Miami freeing up space to land Casemiro With Mascherano’s dismissal and Guillermo Hoyos now in the dugout, a return for Cremaschi to Inter Miami had not been entirely out of the question. However, with the permanent transfer now confirmed, the move does more than simply resolve his future; it opens up room in the squad and provides a financial boost that could help facilitate the club’s reported pursuit of Casemiro. Inter Miami currently hold one available international roster slot and only a modest amount in General Allocation Money to work with. As a homegrown academy product, the Herons received the €4 million sale fee without having to pay a transfer fee to any other club, meaning Cremaschi’s departure represents a meaningful step toward funding the signing of the Brazilian midfielder, who is expected to join as a free agent following his departure from Manchester United.
