| Armenian Mkhitaryan joins Dortmund for RM100 million Posted: 09 Jul 2013 03:56 AM PDT Champions League runners-up Borussia Dortmund have paid 27.5 million euros (about RM100 million) to buy Armenian international attacking midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Shakhtar Donetsk, the Ukraine side said today. "Shakhtar Donetsk and Borussia have settled all matters on Henrikh Mkhitaryan's transfer to the German club," Shakhtar said in a statement on their website (http://www.shakhtar.com) Mkhitaryan, capped 37 times by Armenia, had an impressive season as he helped Shakhtar win the Ukraine league title and reach the Champions League last 16 where they were knocked out by Dortmund. "We are delighted that we got a fantastic new signing for the attacking midfield role in Henrikh Mkhitaryan," BVB sporting director Michael Zorc told Dortmund's website (http://www.bvb.de). Mkhitaryan, who scored 46 goals in 106 games since joining Shakhtar in 2010, is Dortmund's third signing of the close season following the arrival of Sokratis and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. - Reuters, July 9, 2013. |
| Superb Jones strike gives Trinidad and Tobago a point in Gold Cup Posted: 08 Jul 2013 07:21 PM PDT Trinidad and Tobago striker Kenwyne Jones struck a superb 73rd minute equaliser to earn his country a 2-2 draw with El Salvador in their CONCACAF Gold Cup Group B match yesterday. The outstanding Rodolfo Zelaya scored twice for El Salvador and almost grabbed a spectacular winner in what was a pulsating, entertaining encounter at New Jersey's Red Bull Arena. Trinidad and Tobago grabbed the lead in the 11th minute when Keon Daniel burst through the middle of the El Salvador defence and confidently slotted home. El Salvador, playing at high tempo and making good use of the flanks, drew level 10 minutes later with a magnificent curling 25-yard free-kick from Zelaya. Rafael Burgos hit the post for the Salvadorians four minutes before the interval and they went ahead in the 69th minute when Zelaya met a perfect cross from Darwin Ceren with a fine diving header. The lead lasted just four minutes. Jones took a long ball down on his chest, broke goalwards and fired in a powerful left foot shot. Both sides continued to pile forward and Zelaya almost had a hat-trick and the winner with an acrobatic effort that was tipped over the bar by Trinidad keeper Jan Michael Williams. - Reuters, July 9, 2013. |
