well, the african underdogs really found their bite on day two of the tournament here in ivory coast. the biggest shortcoming in the late game here at abidjan�*s felix houphouet boigny stadium, where cape verde beat ghana 2—1, thanks to garry rodrigues�*s goal in injury time. before that, we had egypt with a late goal as well — mohamed salah to the rescue. a 97th minute penalty saving egypt against the minnows, mozambique, a side who have never won a game at afcon in what is now 13 attempts — and var was needed to award that penalty to save the pharaohs. in the early game, victor osimhen, his first goal at afcon salvaged a 1—1 goal for nigeria against equatorial guinea. so, a combined 1a afcon titles among them but really not a good day for nigeria, egypt, and especially ghana. those games were in groups a and b. and then, on a monday, we've got groups c and d getting under way.

the standout game, really, the defending champions senegal getting their defence of the title under way against the gambia. ian williams reporting. two major tournaments — the africa cup of nations and the afc asian cup — started this weekend. there were no major upsets on day two of the asian cup with two of the continent's powerhouses, japan and iran, beginning their campaigns. japan came into the tournament on a ten—game winning streak and underlined their credentials as one of the teams to watch in qatar with a 4—2 win over vietnam, as dan ogunshakin reports. beaten finalists in 2019, japan are many people's tip for asian cup glory this time around. and with the likes of takumi minamino in their ranks, they will take some stopping. 1—0 up and in control against vietnam, the samurai blue was suddenly pegged back. nguyen dinh bac�*s spectacular header saw the golden stars back on level terms and vietnam sensed an upset. pham tuan hai edging them in front, turning the match on its head. unfazed, japan responded.

liverpool's present and past combined. wataru endo to minamino and japan were level, but not for long. four minutes into first—half stoppage time, kaito nakamura's moment of magic putting his side back in front before ayase ueda sealed it 4—2 in the second half. three—time champions iran wasted little time against palestine, racing into a three—goal lead inside 38 minutes. overpowered but not overwhelmed, palestine struck back — tamer seyam with a goal that sparked a joyous celebrations. that happiness would be short—lived, however, as sardar azmoun pounced after the break to wrap up a 4—1 win. it was a moment of history when the uae faced hong kong. trailing 1—0 to a first half penalty, hong kong's chan siu kwan equalised and in doing so, scored the 1000th afc asian cup goal. the dragons, however, couldn't build on that milestone. zayed sultan scored just minutes later before yahya al—ghassani's late penalty saw the uae home 3—1. dan ogunshakin, bbc news.

viniciusjunior scored a first—half hat—trick to give real madrid victory in the spanish super cup with a 4—1win over rivals barcelona on sunday. vinicius scored twice in the first ten minutes to put carlo ancelotti's side in control in the game, being played in saudi arabia. robert lewandowski pulled one back for barcelona but vinicius converted a 39th—minute penalty to restore real�*s two—goal lead and claim his hat—trick. rodrygo then added a fourth in the second half before ronald araujo was sent off to complete barca's misery. the victory was madrid's third straight win in el clasico and gives them a 13th super cup success. tottenham came from behind twice in their premier league game against manchester united to deny them a win in front of new co—owner sirjim ratcliffe. ratcliffe watched on at old trafford for the first time since his proposed 25% purchase of united was confirmed as rasmus hojlund gave united a lead in the first five minutes. but brazilian striker

richarlison levelled for spurs with his sixth goal in six league games. united went ahead again before the break through marcus rashford, scoring his first goal since april. spurs got their second equaliser just after half—time to finish 2—2. the attitude from the team was great, the spirit was great. we fought. we have given everything today. we put on the pitch, and that is what fans should expect from us. the fans were behind us. i think it was a great game to see for everyone — not the only for man united fans but i think all over because there was so much tempo in the game. they're a good team on the counter—attack and transition. yuu know, the three up front, they've go t the ability to hurt any team. for the most part, we dealt with that ok but we obviously conceded the two goals, butjust our response

to both of them, i thought, was outstanding. we maintained our composure, played our football. i thought the second half, we were the better side and probably deserved to win. in the day's other premier league game, there was a 0—0 draw between everton and aston villa. the results means villa missed out on the chance to go level on points with leaders liverpool. they did find the net in the first half but alex moreno's goal was ruled out for offside after a four—minute var check. to golf now, and england's tommy fleetwood held his nerve to win the dubai invitational title with birdies on the final two holes to see off the challenge of rory mcilroy. fleetwood, who was the overnight leader, capitalised on a bogey by mcilroy on the 17th hole. he finished on i9—under — one shot ahead of the world number two and south africa's thriston lawrence. it's been a really cool week. ifelt like i played better and better throughout the week. i had a great day yesterday and then today, playing with rory and coming down the stretch in contention and trying to win a golf

tournament was really, really cool, and it's been nice being back in dubai for the start of the year. kenya's agnes ngetich became the first woman to run ten kilometres in under 29 minutes when she won the valencia ibercaja road race on sunday. ngetich beat the previous road world record by 28 seconds. her time was also better than the track world record for the same distance. ronnie o'sullivan has won a record—extending eighth masters snooker title at alexandra palace. the world number one had to come from 3—5 down against ali carter in the final, o'sullivan eventually winning ten frames to seven. he becomes the oldest masters champion at the age of 48. i don't know how i've won this tournament, to be honest with you. i don't, just don't.

i've — i've — i'vejust dug deep, you know? i tried to play with a bit of freedom and then tonight, i just thought just try and keep ali honest and if he is going to win it, he is going to have to scrape me off the table, so... i just wanted to see if he had it at the end. that's all i came into the evening thinking. let's just see if he can get over the line, and that was my whole mindset. so, i was not even worried about frames, score. just keep playing, just keep playing and see what happens. interesting. what a speech. and finally, snookerfans have seen quite a few fluke shots over the past week at the masters tournament at alexandra palace. perhaps the best of the lot, though, came from one young player who pulled off this outrageous pot during sunday's final. now, as you can see, it is quite an easy black he potted, 0k? laughter keep your head down. nice and straight. keep the cue. yeah, that's nice.

now, go on, have a go. get in! hold on, hold on! hello! cheering laughter what a shot! no way. i cannot follow that, i cannot follow that! i thought it was going to leave them hanging with a high five as well! you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app or from our website. also, all of the first round of australian open tennis action is there too. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello. we have got a cold, wintry week of weather ahead. we may well see a bit of disruption down to the fact that we've got plenty of snow showers in the forecast, particularly towards the north, mainly across parts of scotland, in fact. fewer showers around further south. but it is going to be cold

and we're going to see some sharp overnight frosts. could be some icy conditions around, too. cold weather down to the fact that low pressure is out towards the east of the uk, opening the doors for these cold winds to come in from the arctic, so i think wind chill will be a significant factor through the next couple of days. next few hours, more of those snow showers pack in, particularly across the north of scotland. temperatures overnight are falling to —2 or —3 widely, even in our towns and cities — colder than that in the countryside. through monday, then, more snow showers across the northern half of scotland, gales up towards shetland still and some snow and icy conditions across northern ireland, so we have got yellow warnings in force here. could be the odd wintry shower around exposed parts of these irish sea coasts, perhaps around the east coast of england, down towards norfolk and the north york moors. temperatures for most of us about two to five degrees, but when you add on that wind—chill, it is going to feel bitterly cold. it'll feel more like —7 or even —8 across the northeast of scotland. as we continue through monday evening and overnight into tuesday, we're watching this area of low pressure,

this weather system, which moves its way from west to east across the northern half of the uk. now, that could cause a bit of disruption on tuesday. tuesday morning, we're expecting snow to be quite persistent through the central belt of scotland, could be about two to five centimetres of snow here, pushing slowly across scotland. across the higher ground, there could be ten to even 20 centimetres of snow on tuesday. a mix of rain, sleet and snow for northern ireland and for northern england, too. we've got some sleet, some snow over the higher ground. it looks drier with some sunshine further south. but tuesday, again, feels cold wherever you are. into the middle of the week, we're keeping a close eye on this area of low pressure. most of the computer models keep it over france, but we've got the cold air in place with those northerly winds across the uk. if this system's a bit further north, we could see some snow around southern counties of england for a time. but i think it will predominantly be heavy snow showers again for the north of scotland, northern ireland and around any of those coasts

exposed to that northerly wind. it is going to feel cold again, not quite as windy, but temperatures only a few degrees above freezing. more wintry showers for many of us on thursday. perhaps a little milder for some of us, though, by friday.

live from iowa, this is bbc news. on the eve of the iowa caucuses and the start of the 2024 presidential primary season, all eyes are on the weather and how it will impact turnout. 100 days after hamas attacked israel — sparking israel's war on gaza — thousands gather in tel aviv calling for the release of hostages. another volcano erupts in iceland with molten lava spewing from the ground near the town of grindavik.
