Brazil outclassed Guinea 4-1 in a friendly on Saturday as Joelinton, Rodrygo, Eder Militao and Vinicius Jr scored for the five-times world champions who wore an all-black kit in the first half to promote an anti-racism campaign.

It was the first of two friendlies for Brazil against African nations in support of Real Madrid forward Vinicius, who was racially abused in a LaLiga match at Valencia in May, the 10th time incidents involving him have been reported by LaLiga to prosecutors this season.

Newcastle United midfielder Joelinton, making his international debut, opened the scoring in the 26th minute with a close-range finish from a rebound.

Rodrygo extended the lead five minutes later with an unstoppable strike after running clear down the right.

Guirassy Serhou took advantage of a distracted Brazilian defence to pull one back for Guinea with a header following a counter-attack but Militao extended Brazil's lead with a towering header and Vinicius completed the rout from the penalty spot four minutes from time.

Brazil play Senegal in Lisbon on Tuesday.

OMAHA, Neb. -- Danny Corona hit a go-ahead two-run single in the eighth inning to roust a dormant Wake Forest offense, and the Demon Deacons opened their first College World Series in 68 years with a 3-2 win over Stanford on Saturday.

The No. 1 national seed Deacons were held to three hits and one run before storms in the area caused a 1-hour, 28-minute delay in the seventh inning.

When play resumed, the Deacons were able to squeeze out enough production to win their first game in Omaha since they won the national championship here in 1955.

"We call ourselves the king of delay," Brock Wilken said. "Every time we have a delay we come out with so much energy, and our vibe is immediately switched."

Wake Forest turned a double play to end the game, prompting closer Camden Minacci to pump both of his fists and do a little dance in front of the mound while infielders did jumping chest bumps.

The Deacons (53-10) will play Monday against the winner of the Saturday night game between LSU and Tennessee. Stanford (44-19) plays the loser Monday.

Seth Keener (8-1), the third of four Wake Forest pitchers, struck out four of the five batters he faced and earned the win.

For four innings, Stanford starter Joey Dixon held down an offense that outscored its first five NCAA tournament opponents 75-16 -- the biggest run differential ever for a team heading into a CWS -- and averaged 9.4 runs per game for the season.

Dixon, who gave up a homer to Brock Wilken and two singles, got out of a bases-loaded situation before he turned the game over to Drew Dowd at the start of the fifth. Dowd retired all six batters he faced, but he didn't come back out after the delay.

"I felt we were tight early and nervous and kind of got out of our plan offensively," coach Tom Walter said. "Didn't have great at-bats, really, for the first seven innings. Give credit to the Stanford pitching. Dixon and Dowd did a great job and kind of held us at bay. But we did just enough."

Nick Dugan got out of a mini jam in the seventh, but he walked Nick Kurtz to start the eighth. Left-hander Ryan Bruno (2-2) came on and walked Wilken. Both moved up on Justin Johnson's sacrifice before Corona ripped a grounder up the middle to score both and give him 19 RBIs, most in the tournament.

"I told our team at the end, if we break it down to the smallest level, they got two guys on, they got a bunt down and a base hit," Stanford coach David Esquer said. "They executed in order to win that ball game. You've got to give them credit for doing that."

The Deacons were able to use the delay as an opportunity to reset. Esquer went to a concourse concession stand to buy a hotdog, and the players kept things loose in the clubhouse.

"We obviously don't want to point the finger at any delay or any single play," Carter Graham said. "We tried to keep our rhythm and momentum. We were playing hacky sack in the locker room, trying to stay together and have a good time because that's what we're here to do."

Wake Forest improved to 18-0 when ace Rhett Lowder starts. The projected first-round draft pick struggled with his command, but still had six strikeouts against one walk and limited Stanford to two runs before he left with one out in the sixth.

"He's been battling a little virus the last couple of days and didn't have his good stuff," Walter said. "But he pitched into the sixth and gave us a chance to win like he always does."

Stanford used two hits and a walk to load the bases in the first inning, and Lowder was on the verge of getting out of the jam when he hit Malcolm Moore with a 2-2 pitch to force in a run.

After Wilken hit his 31st homer of the season on his 21st birthday, tying him with Florida's Jac Caglianone for the national lead, Graham singled in a run in the third to put Stanford up 2-1.

Stanford stranded five runners in scoring position against Lowder, and the Cardinal lost other chances to add to their lead when reliever Sean Sullivan picked off Temo Becerra and Tommy Troy at first in the sixth and seventh innings.

"We had plenty of opportunities throughout the day with runners in scoring position," Esquer said. "Could have got that same hit and widened the gap or extended the lead."

Bob Huggins has resigned as West Virginia's men's basketball coach in the wake of his arrest on Friday night for allegedly driving under the influence.

Huggins announced his resignation in a statement released on Saturday night in which he said "my recent actions do not represent the values of the University or the leadership expected in this role ... I have let all of you -- and myself -- down."

A source told ESPN's Jeff Borzello that Huggins informed his players of his impending resignation in a team meeting on Saturday.

"I am solely responsible for my conduct and sincerely apologize to the University community -- particularly to the student-athletes, coaches and staff in our program," Huggins wrote in his statement. "I must do better, and I plan to spend the next few months focused on my health and my family so that I can be the person they deserve."

West Virginia is expected to conduct a national search for the school's next coach, sources said, and internal candidates will be considered.

Huggins was arrested in Pittsburgh after police observed a black SUV blocking traffic just before 8:30 p.m. Friday. The vehicle had a "flat and shredded tire" and the driver's side door was open.

After directing the driver -- identified as Robert Huggins, 69, of Morgantown, West Virginia -- to move the vehicle off the road, officers observed Huggins having trouble maneuvering the SUV and pulled him over. The officers questioned Huggins and, believing he was intoxicated, asked him to perform field sobriety tests, which he failed.

According to the police report, a breath test determined that Huggins' blood alcohol content was 0.21%, more than twice the legal limit of 0.08% in Pennsylvania. A blood sample also was taken from Huggins at a hospital prior to his release.

The arrest came just six weeks after Huggins used an anti-gay slur in an interview with a Cincinnati radio station.

There were already signs that the 2023-24 season loomed as the final one for Huggins. Along with receiving a $1 million salary reduction and a three-game suspension in the aftermath of his use of the slur, Huggins was essentially given a contract that is guaranteed for only a year.

Huggins, a Morgantown native who played for the Mountaineers in college, has coached at his alma mater since 2007 and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in September. He has guided the Mountaineers to 11 NCAA tournament appearances, including a Final Four in 2010. Huggins spent one season at Kansas State after leading Cincinnati to 14 straight NCAA tournament appearances from 1992 to 2005.

In a statement, West Virginia said it supported Huggins' decision to resign "so he can focus on his health and family."

"On behalf of West Virginia University, we share our appreciation for his service to our University, our community and our state," the statement read. "During his time as a student-athlete, assistant coach and head coach, Coach Huggins devoted himself to his players, to our student body, to our fans and alumni and to all West Virginians. His contributions will always be a part of our history.

In the days ahead, we will focus on supporting the student-athletes in our men's basketball program and solidifying leadership for our program."

Huggins was convicted of drunken driving in 2004 while at Cincinnati. After pleading no contest, he was suspended for approximately two months by the school and ordered to undergo rehabilitation. But the conviction led to a standoff with then-university president Nancy Zimpher that ultimately resulted in Huggins resigning as Bearcats coach the following year.

PHOENIX -- The Cleveland Guardians called up catching prospect Bo Naylor and put right-handed pitcher Triston McKenzie on the 15-day injured list on Saturday.

The roster moves come one day after the Guardians designated veteran catcher Mike Zunino for assignment.

Naylor, 23, was hitting .254 with 13 homers and 48 RBIs at Triple-A Columbus. The Canadian was selected with the 29th overall pick of the 2018 draft. He'll join his older brother Josh Naylor, who also plays for the Guardians.

McKenzie's elbow issue is the latest injury setback for the right-hander, who missed the first two months with a shoulder strain. The Guardians have high hopes for the hard-throwing McKenzie, who went 11-11 with a 2.96 ERA in 30 starts last season.

McKenzie was brilliant in his season debut June 4, striking out 10 over five scoreless innings. He struggled in his second outing against the Astros last week and was scratched from his planned start against the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Manager Terry Francona said McKenzie had an MRI on Friday night and there was some inflammation, but his long-term prognosis was unclear.

"We just need to let the doctors do their thing," Francona said. "That'll give us a much better idea on a timeline."

Bo Naylor has made two cameos with the Guardians over the past two seasons and has 10 big league at-bats. This time, Francona said he hopes the young slugger is here to stay.

"Nobody has a crystal ball, but that's the idea," Francona said.

Francona said he doesn't know how he'll split the catching duties between Naylor and Cam Gallagher, other than that Naylor will start Sunday's game. The veteran manager added that bringing up a catcher from the minors is sometimes more difficult because of all of the position's responsibilities, particularly handling the pitching staff.

"The game for young catchers can be going so fast," Francona said. "So we'll try to simplify for him."

Zunino was hitting .177 with three home runs, 11 RBIs and 61 strikeouts. The veteran signed a one-year, $6 million deal during the offseason.

A bus driver hired to transport the Pittsburgh Pirates from Chicago to Milwaukee was stopped during the journey and charged with DUI.

The trip began in Chicago on Thursday night after the Pirates' 7-2 loss to the Cubs before an Illinois State Police escort noticed erratic driving and put a stop to the ride.

The driver, 61-year-old Ronald E. Funderburke of Shelby, North Carolina, displayed multiple signs of impairment, according to police, and was arrested after a trooper initially requested an ambulance out of concern for a medical emergency. Funderburke was not affiliated with the team. He was contracted by the club.

Pirates senior vice president of communications Brian Warecki confirmed the incident to media outlets on Friday, saying in part, "We are deeply concerned regarding what transpired last night. The important thing is that all of our personnel arrived in Milwaukee safely ... we are now in communication with the appropriate parties regarding this matter."

"History-making is kind of what we've been about from the off," Exeter head coach Susie Appleby tells BBC Sport.

Exeter's women's side are in just their third season, but have booked a place in the Premier 15s final for the second successive campaign.

In a city where the men's side defied the initial odds after coming into the top flight to twice win English titles and become European champions in 2020, Exeter's women are following suit.

"Anything that we do around here is kind of a first, and the girls really embrace that and the staff embrace it," Appleby says.

"On Sunday over 4,000 people came to watch our game and the best thing being around here is everyone loves Chiefs.

"People stop me in the street, even if I haven't got my Chiefs kit on, because they know who we are and we're paving the way for the next generation of kids and it's just amazing and a brilliant thing to be a part of."

Having had a debut season in front of relatively few fans because of Covid-19, Exeter have flourished and now boast some of the biggest attendances in the women's club game.

Last season they won the Allianz Cup - their first piece of silverware - before losing to Saracens in the play-off final.

This term they have retained the cup, beaten Sarries in the semis and now face Appleby's former side Gloucester-Hartpury in the final at Kingsholm on Saturday.

"It makes me really happy that the side that I got going however many years ago up there is doing really well," adds the former England player.

"I still know a lot of the players, a lot of the staff, Sean Lynn's a fantastic bloke and he's doing really well.

"What makes me really happy is we're doing well, they're doing well, the top two teams are in the final and it doesn't always happen that way."

'This league is the best in the world'

Kingsholm, which was chosen to host the final well in advance of Gloucester's success, will likely be packed for the game.

It will end a season which has seen women's rugby union in England once again increase in visibility thanks to the Red Roses making the World Cup final and their Six Nations success.

But with the men's game suffering major financial concerns - London Irish went into administration earlier this month and the top flight lost Wasps and Worcester last season - is a professional women's game in England sustainable?

"This league is the best in the world, there's showcase games every single week," says Appleby.

"The game is going from strength to strength. How sustainable is it? It's as sustainable as we make it.

"We put in a lot of work, it doesn't just happen, this club works really hard to make it happen.

"[Exeter chief executive] Tony Rowe's a businessman, so were really conscious that we want to make it the best that we can for Tony and everything that he's invested.

"The RFU have put down very stringent rules around a salary cap and that will stop, they believe, what has happened in the men's game where it gets out of control and clubs go under, so they've learned a lot of lessons from what's gone before."

Exeter beat Gloucester 58-19 a few weeks ago, but the Cherry and Whites rested a host of their international players for the fixture.

Despite that, Appleby is confident her squad gained a good sense of what they will face as both sides aim for a maiden title.

"We still beat a good Gloucester side, a strong Gloucester side," she says.

"We learned some things about their style of play, so it was a valuable experience, probably an important win for us.

"We only played them recently, but it doesn't really matter what's gone before, the main thing is the big focus on the final."

England flanker Alex Matthews wants to keep things simple as she prepares for Gloucester-Hartpury's first Premier 15s final next Saturday.

Gloucester-Hartpury have not finished in the top four since the inaugural season of Premier 15s in 2017-18, and there was a huge outpouring of emotion at the end of their semi-final victory over Bristol.

"They are such a tight group and they've been working so hard for years," said Matthews, 29. "I think it was just that relief of: 'We're in a final... we've done it.'"

The players want to stay composed and focused now, though - even with the potential for some added spice in the form of Chiefs coach Susie Appleby.

"The main battle is Susie being the old Gloucester coach," laughs Matthews.

Saturday's final will take place at Kingsholm in Gloucester and a record 5,000 tickets have been sold so far.

The venue was selected before the season started and has to be 'neutral', despite being one of Gloucester-Hartpury's training bases. Indeed the club have had to ask for permission from the Rugby Football Union to use the gym, and will only be allowed one team run on the eve of the match.

Both finalists will have their names on their shirts for the first time, which helps the players feel valued - and also aids fans including the Gloucester 'Shed Heads'.

"One of them came and watched one of our games for the first time," said Matthews. "She said 'the annoying thing is I don't know any of the players' names' so I think that will help with the extra loud support we'll get."

Matthews has played 59 times for England during a career in which she has won the World Cup, been part of Olympic squads in both 2016 and 2020, and been nominated for XVs World Player of the Year in 2022.

Her composure and smiles as we speak are a stark contrast from the uncertain life she lived at the height of the Covid pandemic, when the England Sevens programme had its funding cut.

It was a time when Matthews' campervan 'Daphne' became her sanctuary.

Matthews is now refurbishing an old miner's cottage and living in a caravan with her partner Charlotte, but spends weekends taking Daphne to the coast in Wales to paddleboard and "get on a beach and have some quality time".

She misses the sevens game, and says she may try to get to the Paris Olympics if Team GB qualify.

But for now, 2023 is all about Gloucester-Hartpury - a team Matthews describes as "such a good group" with "good energy and such a good buzz".

"You appreciate each other's individual differences, and having that intensity in training that the Gloucester girls bring and the standards they set, that's what I was looking for," she says.

"I'm definitely enjoying it."

Bruno Fernandes struck twice and Bernardo Silva also scored to earn Portugal a 3-0 home win over Bosnia on Saturday and secure the third straight win of their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.

Roberto Martinez's side top Group J with nine points and will be looking for a fourth successive victory against Iceland on Tuesday. Bosnia, fourth on three points, next host Luxembourg.

Portugal dominated possession but only opened the scoring seconds before halftime when Silva chipped in from Fernandes's pass to register his 11th international goal.

Fernandes doubled the lead with a brilliant header from Ruben Neves's cross in the 77th minute before sealing the win in stoppage time with a powerful volley. 

HENDERSON, Nevada -- U.S. men's national team striker Ricardo Pepi said on Saturday he is ready to move forward with newly reappointed U.S. manager Gregg Berhalter, and move past the coach's decision to not take him to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Asked specifically about Berhalter's reappointment, Pepi said: "I think it's great. It's good for the team. It's great for me and like I said, anything that happened, it's in the past."

Pepi was one of several U.S. players snubbed from the World Cup, a group that included Manchester City goalkeeper Zack Steffen. After Berhalter's rehiring became official on Friday, Berhalter said that he had not spoken with Pepi or Steffen since the World Cup, but would do so in the coming months. In the meantime, Berhalter said, the players competing in Sunday's Concacaf Nations League final against Canada should focus on that.

"Now we have good new opportunities and the new opportunity is playing a final tomorrow," Pepi continued. "So I think that's what we've got to focus on."

At Berhalter's unveiling on Friday, the U.S. manager said there were "a number of individuals that you want to speak with." While most of the attention in that regard was related to Gio Reyna, the player at the center of a public spat and investigation into Berhalter's past, both Pepi and Steffen are among those players who will need to rebuild their respective relationships with the U.S. manager.

Steffen told ESPN earlier this year about Berhalter: "He and I have a long history, and I thought it was a little bit different than it was. It's something I learned, as well, and it was a tough pill to swallow."

"Ideally what you have is alignment with everybody," Berhalter said on Friday, "and all we're doing is trying to be great together and it needs the relationships to be good. It needs the players to be focused on what we're doing and there'll certainly be time for that in these upcoming months."

Coming off his goal scoring exploits in Thursday's 3-0 semifinal triumph against Mexico in the Concacaf Nations League, Pepi will look to show well again in Sunday's final against Canada. The Reds have been a rising force in Concacaf in recent years, and will be aiming to win their first trophy since the 2000 Gold Cup. Canada also took four points off the U.S. during World Cup qualification, when it finished top of the standings.

As the U.S. looks to win its second straight Nations League, Pepi is wary of the threat Canada poses.

"I feel like we're not underestimating Canada at all," he said. "We know we want to win the tournament. We want to win the trophy. We want to lift this. So I think it's important that we go with the same intensity and the same hunger that we went in with Mexico."

Berhalter is not set to take over the U.S. team again until after the Concacaf Gold Cup finishes in July, and interim coach B.J. Callaghan will remain in charge until then.
