Aden McCarthy makes Champions League debut

McCarthy came through the Chiefs academy at Naturena before leaving the club to continue his career abroad.

His former boss, Kaizer Motaung Jr, was also quick to celebrate the defender’s achievement.

“Proud of you Aden. KC Academy,” Motaung Jr wrote on social media.

Chiefs supporters were equally vocal in their praise for McCarthy, with many proud to see a player who came through the club’s academy competing on one of the biggest stages in world football.

Njivana wrote: “I don’t think there can be any words to describe my happiness right now seeing Aden McCarthy playing UEFA Champions League football at Old Trafford.”

MashoodoZ added: “I remember how Aden McCarthy was called a dirty player for his hard tackling and today I’m watching him tackle Mbeumo like it ain’t no thing… He is strong.”

While the result was disappointing for Sabah, McCarthy’s Champions League debut represents another significant milestone in the young defender’s career and one that will have caught the attention of his former club’s supporter

The Springboks must capitalise on their continuity and freshness to deny a battle-weary All Blacks team the consolation of squaring Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series in Baltimore, writes MARK KEOHANE.

Writing for TimesLIVE, Keohane believes the physical cost of New Zealand’s eight-match tour is becoming increasingly apparent, while the Boks head into the final Test with settled combinations and momentum after successive victories at Cape Town Stadium and FNB Stadium.

“The Springboks’ motivation must be to deny them the consolation,” he writes.

The All Blacks will be without three players who started the third Test at FNB Stadium. Captain Ardie Savea has a dislocated shoulder, Luke Jacobson an elbow injury and Quinn Tupaea knee-ligament damage, while Anton Segner was lost earlier in the tour after ankle surgery.

Keohane says the mood around the tourists has consequently shifted since their opening Test victory at Ellis Park, with the challenge now increasingly about enduring the final stages of an old-fashioned tour.

“The All Blacks remain dangerous, but they are no longer fresh and they are no longer controlling the series narrative,” he writes. “The Boks are.”

In contrast, Rassie Erasmus has retained 22 of the 23 players involved in the 29-24 victory at FNB Stadium, with fit-again Damian Willemse replacing the injured Cheslin Kolbe. Keohane believes that continuity has helped sharpen the Boks’ defence and decision-making while restoring their dominance at the set-piece.

WATCH: All Blacks avoid scrum battle

The All Blacks conceded 12 penalties at FNB Stadium, allowing South Africa to repeatedly turn their indiscipline into territory and attacking opportunities, and Keohane expects the Boks to again make their physical advantage count in Baltimore.

“Baltimore won’t be as close and will mirror the second half of the Soweto Test when the Boks, as the No 1 team in the world, showed there is still daylight between them and the chasing pack, led by the All Blacks,” he concludes.

CONAKRY- Le match retour de la coupe CAF entre le Hafia FC et l’AS Douanes, initialement prévu ce vendredi 11 septembre 2026 au Stade du 28-Septembre à Conakry, fait face à une incertitude majeure concernant sa tenue ou son horaire.

Les Mauritaniens ont connu des soucis d’avion et ont formulé une demande de report du match auprès du Hafia FC. La fédération Mauritanienne avait proposé une alternative consistant à atterrir à Dakar pour rejoindre Conakry par la route, mais l’AS Douanes a refusé cette option.

Signe de ce retard important, l’entraîneur de la formation mauritanienne ne s’est pas présenté à la traditionnelle conférence de presse d’avant-match programmée à Conakry pour marquer la réouverture du stade après des années de travaux. Les péripéties de transport et les discussions de dernière minute laissent planer le doute sur un éventuel décalage.

Il y a trois mois, l’ambassade de France au Cameroun demandait aux personnes voulant étudier dans des écoles privées en France d'apporter la preuve du paiement intégral de la scolarité, ou une justification de la possession de la somme nécessaire. La mesure avait provoqué la colère et une manifestation devant l'ambassade. Mais dans un communiqué, l’ambassade a annulé sa décision, déjà contestée devant le tribunal administratif de Paris après la saisine de l’association Cap Études, un collectif de parents et d’étudiants du Cameroun.
