Good morning! Here is today’s summary from Sports Newspapers:
- Scotland’s hopes of creating history at Euro 2024 were ended by an agonising stoppage-time goal as they lost 1-0 to Hungary on Sunday. Steve Clarke’s side crashed out of the competition after conceding a late-stoppage goal from Kevin Csoboth.
- South Africa are through to the T20 World Cup semi-finals after a tense three-wicket win on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method over co-hosts West Indies in a winner-takes-all Super 8s match. After England secured their place in the last four on Sunday, the game in Antigua was essentially a quarter-final to decide the other side to progress from Group 2.
- Albania forward Mirlind Daku has been banned for two matches after leading his country’s fans in derogatory chants. Daku addressed his country’s supporters with a megaphone following Albania’s heated 2-2 draw with Croatia in Hamburg.
- Lewis Hamilton admitted it was a “big boost” to end his Formula 1 podium drought at the Spanish GP but said Mercedes still needed “all hands on deck” to maintain their recent level of improvement. F1’s most serial podium finisher had not finished in the top three positions of a grand prix for 12 races – the longest drought of his career – but an accomplished drive at Barcelona on Sunday saw him overcome a difficult start to the race to register his 198th rostrum appearance.
- Amy Yang secured her maiden major victory after cruising to an emphatic three-shot victory at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in Washington. Yang took a two-shot lead into the final day at Sahalee Country Club and never left top spot during an impressive display, where she increased her lead to seven strokes before a late wobble over her closing holes.
