Danish fans dance in rejoice as their team advances to Euro 2020
Denmark beat the Czech Republic 2-1 in a nervy European Championship quarter-final on Saturday (July 3) to reach the last four of the competition for the first time since they won the title in 1992. Denmark opened the scoring in the fifth minute when Thomas Delaney scored with a downward header from a corner kick and the Danes doubled the lead just before halftime when Kasper Dolberg fired home from an inch-perfect cross from Joakim Maehle. Czech striker Patrik Schick struck four minutes after the restart, guiding a Vladimir Coufal cross into the bottom corner for his fifth goal of the tournament to go level with Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo at the top of the scoring charts. The Czechs were in the ascendancy in the second half but Denmark held on for the win and a semi-final date at Wembley where Kasper Hjulmand's side will play either Ukraine or England -- who play later on Saturday in the last-quarter-final in Rome.

PSG and Istanbul Basaksehir players take a knee before Champions League kickoff
Paris St Germain and Istanbul Basaksehir players, as well as the three onfield match officials, took a knee before their rescheduled Champions League game that was eventually won 5-1 by the French side on Wednesday (December 9). The match had been suspended on Tuesday (December 8) when the players walked off in protest after the Turkish club accused a match official of racism. Players also held their fists in the air as they gathered around the centre circle and wore 'No to racism' t-shirts during the warm-up. UEFA said on Wednesday that it had appointed an Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector to "conduct a disciplinary investigation regarding the incident" on Tuesday. The incident was sparked when Basaksehir's assistant coach Pierre Webo was shown a red card for protesting against a refereeing decision and the Turkish side then alleged that the Romanian fourth official Sebastian Coltescu used a racist term towards the Cameroonian. The four Romanian match officials were replaced for Wednesday's re-start and Webo sat in the stands with the rest of his team's staff after his red card was suspended pending the UEFA investigation. Taking a knee was popularised by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in 2016 and gained steam as an anti-racism protest following the death of George Floyd, a Black man who died in police custody in Minneapolis in May. Two banners carrying anti-racism messages were placed in the Auteuil tribune of the Parc des Princes stadium. The first read 'Support to Mr Webo... Proud of the players... Against racism', with the second one saying 'Paris united against racism'. UEFA had two banners of their own with both clubs' logos, reading 'No to racism', one in French and the other in English. The game, played without spectators as part of restrictions in France to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus, was one-sided, with PSG prevailing thanks to a Neymar hat-trick and a Kylian Mbappe double. France internationals Kylian Mbappe and Presnel Kimpembe, stopped by Webo on their way back to the dressing room and gave him their shirt.
