DUESSELDORF, Germany (AP) — Manuel Neuer is finally back for Bayern Munich. He won’t get much time to settle in before the “Klassiker” with Borussia Dortmund.Neuer’s long-awaited return Saturday from a broken leg, nearly a year after his last club game, was overshadowed by the action elsewhere on the field, with a spectacular Harry Kane goal and three red cards as Bayern won 8-0 against Darmstadt.It wasn’t the gentle post-injury introduction for Neuer that the score suggests. It was goalless at halftime before Darmstadt’s defense crumbled and Neuer faced four shots on target including making a solid save from Marvin Mehlem at 0-0.For a goalkeeper whose passing is so central to his game, the Darmstadt game wasn’t ideal practice either. Coach Thomas Tuchel had flagged up before the game the need for the 37-year-old Neuer — who broke his leg skiing in December — to get used to playing with a new-look team including off-season signing Kim Min-jae at center ...

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 19:24:35 GMT

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo ranged a step to his right and snagged a hot smash with a smooth, backhanded play, wheeling and firing to first baseman Christian Walker, who stretched for the ball, picked up the short hop and somehow managed to keep his foot on the bag for the first out of the inning.The D-backs and Texas Rangers have been great with the leather all season long.So far in the World Series, that trend is continuing.The D-backs and Rangers combined for zero errors over the first two games of the Fall Classic, which is the first time that’s happened since 2018.
