Leicester Ties Burnley 0-0 on Day of Homage to Its Late Owner LEICESTER, England – Leicester City fought on Saturday to a goalless tie with Burnley in a match honoring the late Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, owner of the English soccer team who died two weeks ago in a helicopter crash as he was leaving King Power Stadium.The result was due on one side to the outstanding work of visiting goalkeeper Joe Hart, who blocked and deflected all the very promising shots at goal by the locals.The Leicester players for their part ran onto the field wearing T-shirts printed with a photo of Srivaddhanaprabha and the words “The Boss” and “Forever in our hearts.”The acts of homage to the president who led Leicester to its only La Liga title began with an emotional march to the stadium by fans and local soccer players.Other Saturday results around the English Premier League were Cardiff City’s 2-1 win over Brighton; Newcastle’s victory over Bournemouth, also by a 2-1 score; Southampton playing Watford to a 1-1 tie; Huddersfield and West Ham 1-1; while Tottenham downed Crystal Palace 1-0.

Girona and Leganes Fight to 0-0 Tie at Montilivi Stadium GIRONA, Spain – Girona and Leganes fought to a scoreless tie on Saturday at Montilivi Stadium in a match that got its most threatening scoring chances as it wound to a close.The tie did, however, allowed the Catalan team coached by Eusebio Sacristan to extend to five the number of matches it has played without a defeat.Feeling strong after victories against Rayo Vallecano (2-1) and Valencia (0-1) in its last two matches, the Girona team ran onto the Montilivi field ready to celebrate its 50th game in the top category of Spanish soccer with a new triumph.While Leganes, needing a good result in order to recover its impetus, waited for its chances in a defensive mode, Eusebio Sacristan’s squad, as aggressive and intense as ever, managed to dominate the rhythm of the match from the time it got possession of the ball.Nonetheless, Girona was unable to covert its superiority on the field into clear scoring opportunities.

Latin American Herald Tribune: Hamilton Secures 10th Pole of F1 Season at Brazilian GP

Hamilton Secures 10th Pole of F1 Season at Brazilian GP SAO PAULO – British Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton secured on Saturday the pole position for the Brazilian Grand Prix, the second-to-last race of the 2018 Formula One season.Hamilton, who clinched his fifth F1 drivers’ title two weeks ago at the Mexican GP, snagged the top spot on the grid for the 10th time this season and did so in record-breaking fashion.Earlier Saturday, German Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel posted the fastest-ever lap at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace – a 4.309-kilometer circuit in Sao Paulo’s Interlagos neighborhood – during the third and final practice session.That mark of one minute and 7.948 seconds was eclipsed, however, before the end of the second phase of qualifying, in which Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas recorded the fastest lap of 1:07.727.The drivers only got quicker in the third phase of qualifying, with Hamilton completing the circuit in a best-lap time of 1:07.281 and three other drivers – Vettel, Bottas and Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen – all beating the best time in Q2.Hamilton will be joined on the front row by Vettel in Sunday’s 71-lap, 306-km Brazilian GP, while Bottas and Raikkonen will start on the second row.Dutch Red Bull driver Max Verstappen will be in the fifth spot on the grid and Swedish Sauber driver Marcus Ericsson will start sixth.Verstappen’s teammate, Australia’s Daniel Ricciardo, finished sixth in Q3 but will start 11th because a new turbocharger installed in his car exceeded his limit for the season and cost him a five-spot grid penalty.Bottas and Hamilton are expected to clinch a fifth consecutive constructors’ title on Sunday for Mercedes (585 points), which leads Ferrari by 55 points.Vettel and Raikkonen need to garner at least 13 points more than their Mercedes counterparts on Sunday to keep the constructors’ race alive until the season’s final race – the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Nov.
