At 9.50 pm on Thursday, a black Mahindra Scorpio, its number plates deliberately masked with black tape, pulled up outside a two-storey home of businessman Vishal Beri in Gurgaon’s Sushant Lok. Five armed men were inside. According to police, three stepped out and opened indiscriminate fire at Beri’s house and neighbouring properties, while another filmed the attack on his mobile phone, allegedly on the instructions of his gangster boss.

Whichever team emerges victorious, their reward for winning a closely-contested game will be a battle against defending champions Argentina on Saturday at the Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. The game went into extra time after neither side could score in 90 minutes. In a game of limited chances, there was little to separate either team in the first half which ended goalless. Just a couple of hours before the Colombia and Switzerland game, Lionel Messi had inspired Argentina to a 3-2 win over Mo Salah’s Egypt, after the defending champions were trailing 0-2 at one stage. The Colombia vs Switzerland game was the final game of the ongoing World Cup to be played in Canada.

The Germans missed three penalty kicks in the shootout to seal their flight back home. SCROLL DOWN TO READ HOW THE PENALTY SHOOTOUT PANNED OUT There will be plenty of conversation about Germany’s disallowed goal in the 112th minute in the first period of extra time. A splendid cross from Nathaniel Brown found Jonathan Tah at the far post and was nodded into the goal. But even as the Germans were celebrating, the VAR asked the on-field referee to come take a closer look at an infringement during the build up play. The Germany goal, which could have been their game winner, was eventually disallowed after the VAR check for a foul on Paraguay goalkeeper Orlando Gill by Waldemar Anton. The incident looked like a soft one and could have gone either way. After the first …

After an intense 2-2 draw over four quarters, the Indian Men’s Hockey Team suffered a 1-4 shootout defeat against hosts England in the London leg of their FIH Pro League European tour at the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre on Thursday. Dilpreet Singh (10′ and 58′) scored an impressive brace for India while David Goodfield (29′) and Nicholas Bandurak (56′) were on the scoresheet for England.

Paris Saint-Germain refuses to let go of Europe. In a final of brutal margins and collapsing legs, the defending champions outlasted Arsenal 4-3 on penalties to retain the Champions League and confirmed their place at the summit of the game. Twice winners in a row, PSG held their nerve as Arsenal’s unbeaten European run finally cracked under pressure. Eberechi Eze’s miss opened the door, and Gabriel blazed the decisive kick high into the Budapest night, sending it into the stands as silence swallowed the Arsenal end. As PSG players sprinted onto the pitch in celebration, Gabriel dropped to his knees in tears, surrounded by heartbreak, while navy blue shirts swarmed the turf in scenes of pure triumph. For much of the evening, which ended 1-1 after extra time, Mikel Arteta’s side looked destined to complete the greatest achievement in the club’s history. Kai Havertz’s early strike gave Arsenal a precious advantage and appeared to put them on course for Champions League glory. Yet after spending much of the match defending their lead, the Gunners were …
