a moscow gain enough to fast and furious stars the hosts who had been to one down the final serious opened five minutes in perth i'm sure no netting here one nil the blue eyes kept the visitors under pressure and had many chances to extend their early with ivan gursky only carry around more producing one seed after another. and his efforts paid off in the middle of the second period the hoax poured back in style alexander pop or feeling comfortable in front of the home side's goal too low matters one zero. one girth lifted in spirits the hawks smell victory and he paused twice however through periods of hard rumble when earn enough to sell scores taking the game into

overtime which so the visitors finally chloe now the when. alexander provision in sport is fourth goal in the final to give his team a three one lead in the serious meaning of one bird are now just a single win away from making history. the two teams are almost equally strong weekly very well defensively the suited enamel so there are not many great goal scoring opportunities in each game but we are probably a bit more persistent and focused it's not over yet we still have to take the final step to win the cup brasero would be right after this game it's not over it's not over for us we're going to go there we're going to try to win every game was even if it was just one bowl game and i think we have chance to win and. we won one game so we're going to battle ground battle for in norms and survey the bell for the

good going up may be decided or get even tougher robert byrd in their own party must feel. for one and mclaren's lewis hamilton has picked red bull sebastian vettel to set the pace in first practice of the controversial bahrain grand prix the englishman is the early championship leader despite not having won any of the first three races and was a third of a second quicker than the defending champion although i thought finished ahead of course india's pulled arrestor he had the softer tires sadie's nico rosberg was fourth mclaren driver jenson button fifth ferrari's fernando alonso winner in malaysia last month was thirteenth while on wednesday before force india mechanics were caught up in a protest and there was a heavy security presence this friday on the route to the track. well meanwhile in monte carlo it's quarter going all day at the tennis masters with the third seed andy murray getting the last eight underway against how much burdick will murray is getting to get into the finals for the first time in four years but he trails in

his head to head record with a goals number seven while later on the world number one novak djokovic faces robin faster and suddens on defending champion rafael nadal takes on sun it's not that green power and force the fear will fade tsonga least because she'll soon or. football now and i'd like to go madrid have moved a step closer to their second europa league final in three years after they won four to attend the spanish rivals by lengthier in the first leg of the semifinals well either melbourne hated me for it you can champions there are eighteen minutes before you know this level in first half stoppage time how is that lead to go then scored twice in one second half and it's true that on that and as far as a sensational third we fought because of course there will be back to full team to give plenty of hope for the return leg or to the side sporting lisbon that is twice in the last fifteen minutes to come back and win to want to turn to athletic bilbao to take a narrow advantage into the second leg in spain. while elsewhere former rail madrid

and spain star raul has announced he'll be leaving his current club shout at the end of the season the striker who turns thirty five. in june says he'll continue his career outside europe after his two year deal with the german side runs out in the summer the three time champions league winner is that competition as well as way out all time it involves and he's also scored thirty nine goals in one hundred four appearances for shelter as well as lifting the german cup last year. i don't know what's it in plain futurism to europe now that i've announced my decision i'll discuss everything with my advisers once again and we'll go through the offers we have in detail and in the next few weeks you'll see where i'll go but it will definitely be a league that isn't as strong as the big leagues in europe and the bundesliga. well meanwhile gary in france have turned out and then numbers in the capital city of severe to show their support for the country's most current players three and butter of thousands spared a thought the aston villa captain is undergoing treatment for acute leukemia but

thirty two year old midfielder was diagnosed with the illness last month that offers made up hundred six appearances for bulgaria in an international career spanning fourteen years while and even sadder note thousands of football fans lined the streets of bergen road for the funeral obvious hellion footballer want to see me the twenty five year old died while playing in the serial being much more we've all known at the start or it was thought he had suffered a cardiac arrest but the results of the post-mortem are inconclusive they want to have an ounce well retire the number twenty five shirt and medicine in his memory. now it's less than one hundred days to go before the london olympics russia are targeting at least birthplace and the overall medals table but entries top athletes coaches and sports officials gathered together in moscow to discuss their preparation for the games the national olympic committee has yet to announce their overall medal targets though sports federations are aiming high and hoping to

produce a combined total of thirty goals however possible champions are wary of any untimely injuries that could spoil their phones. we're going to sleep either way but our basketball team has a lot some woods key players stranger is so the hardest part you know preparation sister trying to find new leaders and probably the young handsome step up for the field at the borders the olympics are such an important tournament and you have to be one hundred percent for it and i like individual sports is a team sport so every single player in court is of value so first of all we must try to avoid injuries because they were too many of those at the recent world cup even though we've got it. well in the meantime four more olympic places have been secured by russians women as the national championships hearing loss these include medal hokie of the mother who won the women's one hundred meters prestrike they also booked a place at the london games for second place and in men's events that he is also one the two hundred metres freestyle the qualifying along with you have any going

off it looks over. the other want to go i am pleased i wanted to but as a result what i failed to a little bit anyway i have enough time before the olympics to work hard the main goal was to qualify for the olympics so i'm pleased with the expansion of the wife now i have sometimes going to see my moment and then i'm going back to the usa to the olympics. well meanwhile athletics teams have praise almost as preparations for next year's world championships pollution of the sport complex will host the tournament also staging the athletics at the nine hundred ninety summer olympics as he needs to be refurbished for a future event. at the stadium the renovations will be starting i think very very shortly and this is really good for laying down the new track and having everything the state of the arts. transportation. is being looked at to ensure that it will be in moscow where sometimes a tough economy and

a high end everything will be seamless for the athletes and i think very soon the public will be discovering the prices for tickets to the ticket program. but it will not end in the n.b.a. the phoenix suns are back into the playoff race following a dramatic late win against the los angeles clippers on home court it was a back and forth much in arizona we believe changing hands twenty four times and days chris paul talks scored on the night with nineteen points but it was steve nash who stole the show for the suns late in the game the guys tied the score expatriate all over just over a minute to go all pulled back to level for the checkers but nash and turning from lights thank you couple of these rays each night griffin couldn't stand the match into overtime for l.a. but he missed a buzzer beating three points or so the final story was ninety three ninety two the suns got eights in the west. gulf now and there's

an unfamiliar name at the top of the texas leaderboard after the first day's play in south carolina well not every is the goal for in question and is not something you hear about every day his best finish in six years on the tour is good but he's not in fine form eating knowing birdies to take a three strike lead over the hundred so hearts. and that's all the sports news life and. culture is that so much is right on the job if you go over there there's the taliban bad guy insane or it's right wing fanatics this is what a norwegian court most determined in the wake of last year's massacre of seventy seven feet.
