<br/>
<div class="itemFullText">
A legal expert on Wednesday said the government's plan to establish a new sports arbitration resolution mechanism will help resolve issues such as the Messi no-show saga more quickly and amicably.
<br/>
<br/>
Thousands of fans were left angry and disappointed after Argentinian superstar Lionel Messi sat out an Inter Miami football match in the SAR back in February, triggering complaints and calls for ticket refunds.
<br/>
<br/>
Nicholas Chan, who heads the AALCO Hong Kong Regional Arbitration Centre, said such situations could be eased with the new mechanism in place.
<br/>
<br/>
"In Hong Kong, we don't have class action for litigation. And even if we had class action, it's not cheap for thousands of ticket holders to launch a dispute," he told RTHK.
<br/>
<br/>
"We could resolve everything quickly by mediation, if not by arbitration. So it saves all the parties the headache of having to try to find the proper forum for dispute, spend a lot of money on resolving disputes by going to courts or otherwise."
<br/>
<br/>
International sports arbitration is dominated by Western countries, with the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland a prominent example.
<br/>
<br/>
"But the official working language is French, Spanish, or English. You don't really have much of a choice to use Chinese, Malay, Arabic, or other languages very common in the developing world. So it is not ideal to spend a lot of time and cost where it could be resolved more cost-effectively," Chan said.
<br/>
<br/>
The plan is also seen as an opportunity for retired athletes to pursue a second career in sports mediation and arbitration, Chan added.

<br/>
<div class="itemFullText">
Anthony Volpe smashed a grand slam as the New York Yankees avoided being swept in the World Series on Tuesday with an 11-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
<br/>
<br/>
Volpe's third-inning home run gave the Yankees a 5-2 edge, their first lead since game one, and later homers by Gleyber Torres and Austin Wells sparked New York's rout.
<br/>
<br/>
The Yankees pulled within 3-1 in the best-of seven Major League Baseball championship showdown with game five on Wednesday at Yankee Stadium.
<br/>
<br/>
No team has ever recovered from a 3-0 deficit to win the World Series, but the Yankees became the first team in 54 years to force a fifth game when down 0-3.
<br/>
<br/>
New York denied the Dodgers an eighth World Series title and first since 2020 while keeping alive hopes of the Yankees winning their first crown since 2009 and 28th overall.
<br/>
<br/>
It was a record-shattering night for Los Angeles first baseman Freddie Freeman, who smashed a two-run homer in the first inning to become the first player with homers in the first four games of a World Series.
<br/>
<br/>
Freeman, who blasted a walk-off grand slam to win game one, also moved past George Springer to set a record with homers in six consecutive World Series contests, counting the last two games from his 2021 title run with Atlanta. (AFP)

<div class="itemFullText">
Premier League strugglers Southampton squeezed into the English League Cup quarter-finals when James Bree struck a late winner to down Championship side Stoke 3-2 on Tuesday.
<br/>
<br/>
And another Premier League team, Brentford, also survived a major scare against second-tier rivals, beating Sheffield Wednesday on penalties.
<br/>
<br/>
At St Mary's, Southampton were sailing into the next round after Taylor Harwood-Bellis' header and Adam Armstrong's spot-kick inside 35 minutes.
<br/>
<br/>
But goals from Ashley Phillips and Tom Cannon threatened to force a penalty shoot-out until defender Bree rifled home from 25 yards with two minutes left on the clock.
<br/>
<br/>
Southampton were fortunate to reach that stage still level as only a goal-line clearance from Yukinari Sugawara stopped Stoke substitute Million Manhoef completing the turnaround minutes earlier.
<br/>
<br/>
Saints boss Russell Martin, who was serving a touchline ban after collecting a third booking of the campaign, made six changes to the starting XI which began Saturday's 1-0 loss at Manchester City, leaving the team footing the table with a solitary point from nine outings.
<br/>
<br/>
In the night's other encounter, Brentford were bossing the show against Sheffield Wednesday after taking the lead through Kevin Schade in the first half.
<br/>
<br/>
But Wednesday levelled shortly before the hour with their first effort on target through Djeidi Gassama's spectacular strike.
<br/>
<br/>
Brentford could not find a winner in normal time with Mark Flekken their hero, the goalkeeper saving Liam Palmer's penalty to send the hosts through 5-4 after a 1-1 draw.
<br/>
<br/>
"I went to the wrong side twice at the start of the shoot-out," commented Flekken. "That doesn't help your confidence in a shoot-out but luckily I saved the last one".
<br/>
<br/>
Holders Liverpool are away to Brighton on Wednesday with beaten finalists Chelsea at Newcastle. (AFP)

<div class="itemFullText">
Qatar's Akram Afif was named Asian Football Confederation men's player of the year on Tuesday, while Japan's Kiko Seike took home the women's award.
<br/>
<br/>
Forward Afif led Qatar to the Asian Cup title at the start of the year, being named player of the tournament and winning the golden boot with eight goals – including a hat-trick against Jordan in the final.
<br/>
<br/>
It was the second time the 27-year-old had been named Asian player of the year. He also won the prize in 2019 after winning the Asian Cup with Qatar for the first time.
<br/>
<br/>
Afif, who had stints in Belgium and Spain earlier in his career, also led club side Al Sadd to a domestic double in Qatar.
<br/>
<br/>
"I want to thank my wife, teammates and all the national team coaches and administrative staff," he said at the AFC award ceremony in Seoul. "I will try my best to win this award for a third time."
<br/>
<br/>
Afif became the third player to win the award more than once, following in the footsteps of Japan's Hidetoshi Nakata and Uzbekistan's Server Djeparov.
<br/>
<br/>
Seike won the women's prize after scoring 20 goals to help Urawa Red Diamonds Ladies win the Japanese domestic title for a second straight year.
<br/>
<br/>
Forward Seike was also influential as Urawa won the Asian club title, and was part of the Japan squad that reached the quarter-finals at the Paris Olympics.
<br/>
<br/>
"I am very happy to receive this prestigious award," said Seike, who joined England's Brighton in July. "I will continue to do my best for my club, the national team and to raise the value of Asian football." (AFP)

<br/>
<div class="itemFullText">
Spain's Carlos Alcaraz opened his campaign at the Paris Masters on Tuesday with a 7-5, 6-1 win over Chilean Nicolas Jarry.
<br/>
<br/>
After receiving a bye through the first round, Alcaraz took a 3-0 lead in his round of 32 match but was reigned back in by Jarry, before eventually claiming the first set 7-5.
<br/>
<br/>
However, Alcaraz was in commanding form in the second set, giving his Chilean opponent only one game as he raced to victory.
<br/>
<br/>
"It's been two years since I have won a match here in Paris – so every time that I keep going is a gift for me," said the 21-year-old Spaniard.
<br/>
<br/>
"I'm just really happy to get through the opening set, it was really important for me to come into the second with more confidence," he added. "I need time to get used to the speed of the court."
<br/>
<br/>
Alcaraz is now the heavy favourite to win his first title on the hard court at Bercy Arena after Italian world number one Jannik Sinner withdrew from the tournament earlier on Tuesday due to an intestinal virus.
<br/>
<br/>
He will face either Frenchman Ugo Humbert or American Marcos Giron in the round of 16. (AFP)

<br/>
<div class="itemFullText">
Freddie Freeman homered for a record-tying third consecutive game and the Los Angeles Dodgers reached the brink of a World Series title by beating the New York Yankees 4-2 on Monday.
<br/>
<br/>
Freeman, who smashed a walk-off grand slam to win the opener in Los Angeles, crushed a two-run homer in the first inning and Walker Buehler threw five shutout innings allowing only two hits to spark the victory.
<br/>
<br/>
The win gives the Dodgers a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven Major League Baseball championship series, meaning they can capture their first crown since 2020 by winning game four on Tuesday at Yankee Stadium.
<br/>
<br/>
No team has ever recovered from a 3-0 deficit to win the World Series.
<br/>
<br/>
Freeman matched Hank Bauer in 1958 and Barry Bonds in 2002 as the only players to homer in the first three games of a World Series.
<br/>
<br/>
The Dodgers first baseman also matched George Springer's record of homers in five consecutive World Series contests, including the last two games of Freeman's 2021 title run with Atlanta.
<br/>
<br/>
The Yankees have not been swept in a World Series since Cincinnati did it in 1976. The most recent World Series sweep was by San Francisco over Detroit in 2012.
<br/>
<br/>
The Dodgers seek their eighth World Series title while the Yankees, with a record 27 crowns, chase their first World Series title since 2009.
<br/>
<br/>
It's the 12th title showdown between two of baseball's most iconic teams, with the Yankees having beaten the Dodgers eight times and the Dodgers defeating New York three, including a 1963 sweep. (AFP)

<br/>
<div class="itemFullText">
Paolo Banchero had the best night of his career on Monday night, tying the Orlando Magic record for points in a half – scoring 37 in the first two quarters against the Indiana Pacers.
<br/>
<br/>
He finished with a career-high 50 points to equal the fifth-highest scoring effort in Magic history. Orlando won 119-115.
<br/>
<br/>
“Man, I'm tired.” Banchero said after the first 50-point effort in the NBA this season.
<br/>
<br/>
Banchero, the league's rookie of the year two seasons ago and an All-Star last year, was 13 of 17 from the field in the half and finished 16 of 26 from the floor. He also had 13 rebounds and nine assists.
<br/>
<br/>
“It was just being in the zone,” Banchero said.
<br/>
<br/>
“Felt like I was in an open gym, back at home, just working on my game," he added. "Every shot felt like it was going in, and it's a good feeling when you've got a day like that. Not every game is going to be like that – but I'm glad today was.”
<br/>
<br/>
The 37 points in the half tied the mark set by NBA legend Tracy McGrady, also in the first half, for Orlando against Washington in the game where he finished with 62.
<br/>
<br/>
“That first half was a magical first half, for sure,” Banchero said.
<br/>
<br/>
Banchero's career-high entering Monday was 43 points, set January 3 against Sacramento. (AP)

Rodri wins men's Ballon d'Or as Real Madrid boycott

<img alt="Manchester City's Rodri with the Ballon d'Or. Photo: Reuters" referrerpolicy="no-referrer" src="https://images.weserv.nl/?n=-1&we&h=1080&output=webp&trim=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fnewsstatic.rthk.hk%2Fimages%2Fmfile_1776627_1_20241029081012.jpg&q=85" style="width:100%;height:auto"/>
<br/>
<div class="itemFullText">
Manchester City and Spain midfielder Rodri was awarded the men's Ballon d'Or on Monday after winning a fourth consecutive Premier League title and Euro 2024, but Real Madrid boycotted the ceremony.
<br/>
<br/>
The decision to award the prize for the world's best player to the deep-lying midfielder came as a surprise, with Real Madrid's Liga and Champions League double winner Vinicius Junior widely seen as the pre-ceremony favourite.
<br/>
<br/>
Hours before the festivities in Paris, the Spanish club announced its delegation would not attend the ceremony at Chatelet Theatre because of what it perceived as a snub of Vinicius.
<br/>
<br/>
Rodri, 28, played a key role as City held off Arsenal to win the Premier League title last season and was named player of the tournament at Euro 2024 as unfancied Spain emerged triumphant in Germany.
<br/>
<br/>
Despite the French organisers insisting that the identity of the winner was a closely-guarded secret this year, the news appeared to have leaked with Madrid announcing hours before the ceremony they would not attend.
<br/>
<br/>
Barcelona and Spain star Aitana Bonmati earlier won her second successive women's Ballon d'Or, after leading her club to a historic continental quadruple of titles and claiming the Nations League with her country.
<br/>
<br/>
The drama started hours before the ceremony as Spanish and European champions Real said if Vinicius was not the winner, then the award should go to his teammate Dani Carvajal.
<br/>
<br/>
Like the Brazilian, Carvajal scored in the 2-0 victory against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final at Wembley.
<br/>
<br/>
"If the award criteria doesn't give it to Vinicius as the winner, then those same criteria should point to Carvajal as the winner," Real Madrid told AFP.
<br/>
<br/>
"As this was not the case, it is clear that Ballon d'Or and Uefa does not respect Real Madrid – Real Madrid does not go where it is not respected."
<br/>
<br/>
The Madrid contingent of nominees also included Kylian Mbappé, Antonio Rudiger, Fede Valverde and Jude Bellingham.
<br/>
<br/>
The winner of the Ballon d'Or is chosen from the shortlist by an international jury of 100 specialist journalists. (AFP)

Man Utd sack Ten Hag, reportedly set to appoint Amorim

<br/>
<div class="itemFullText">
Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag, the Premier League club said on Monday, with the Old Trafford side 14th in the standings after nine games.
<br/>
<br/>
"Erik ten Hag has left his role as Manchester United men’s first-team manager," the club said in a statement.
<br/>
<br/>
"Ruud van Nistelrooy will take charge of the team as interim head coach, supported by the current coaching team, whilst a permanent head coach is recruited."
<br/>
<br/>
The 54-year-old Dutchman's job was the subject of speculation for most of last season as United recorded their worst Premier League finish in eighth, and with British billionaire and INEOS chairman Jim Ratcliffe taking charge of football operations.
<br/>
<br/>
A surprise FA Cup final win over Manchester City, however, plus the fact Ten Hag was able to blame numerous injuries for their poor form earned Ten Hag another chance.
<br/>
<br/>
He signed a new contract to extend his stay until 2026 and get another chance to restore the 20-times English league champions to former glories.
<br/>
<br/>
Early results this season, however, suggested Ten Hag was not going to achieve that.
<br/>
<br/>
But according to multiple British media reports, United will turn to Amorim, the 39-year-old Sporting Lisbon manager who is considered one of Europe's leading young coaches.
<br/>
<br/>
Sky Sports reported United were prepared to pay Amorim's release clause.
<br/>
<br/>
Amorim was linked with the manager's role at Liverpool following the departure of Jurgen Klopp this year, but Dutch coach Arne Slot headed to Anfield instead.
<br/>
<br/>
The position of Ten Hag, 54, had been repeatedly called into question after United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe kept him on board following an internal review at the end of last season when the club finished eighth in the Premier League but won the FA Cup with a shock victory over Manchester City.
<br/>
<br/>
Ten Hag was even rewarded with a one-year extension of his contract to June 2026.
<br/>
<br/>
But United have shown little improvement this season and the 2-1 loss at West Ham was the final straw.
<br/>
<br/>
"Erik ten Hag has left his role as Manchester United men's first-team manager," a statement by United read.
<br/>
<br/>
"We are grateful to Erik for everything he has done during his time with us and wish him well for the future," it added. (Reuters/AFP)

S Korea's Tom Kim sets sights on HK Open prize

<br/>
<div class="itemFullText">
South Korean phenom Tom Kim on Monday said he is feeling confident ahead of his return to the Link Hong Kong Open in November, for the first time since 2020.
<br/>
<br/>
Kim was speaking to reporters on the heels of a nail-biting defeat to compatriot An Byeong-hun at the 2024 Genesis Championship in Incheon on Sunday, a loss which he is hoping to use as motivation for the SAR tournament.
<br/>
<br/>
The Link Hong Kong Open, which will be staged for a 63rd time at the Hong Kong Golf Club in Fanling from November 21 to 24, is set to feature a star lineup with the likes of Englishman Justin Rose, who won in 2015.
<br/>
<br/>
"I'm not thinking too much ahead of myself. I think that's the biggest thing," said the world number 25 – who last year became the youngest golfer since Tiger Woods to land three PGA Tour titles.
<br/>
<br/>
"Golf is golf – anything can happen. Just because you're the highest-ranked player in the world, it doesn't always mean you're going to get the win."
<br/>
<br/>
But the 22-year-old, who already has two Asian Tour titles to his name, said he remains unfazed by the pressure, as he begins training to improve on his previous showing in the SAR when he finished 18th.
<br/>
<br/>
The Seoul-born athlete also shared how looking past the burden of growing expectations has helped him navigate the many challenges of his golf career.

"Looking at my career from the very beginning, I've always had steps that I've grown into," Kim said. "And over the past year, there've been times where I've felt stuck."
<br/>
<br/>
"So long as I take these hits and learn from them, I can be humble and grateful for when good moments do come," he added.

<div class="itemFullText">
Washington rookie Jayden Daniels completed a stunning 52-yard touchdown pass on Sunday's final play to give the Commanders a shocking 18-15 victory over Chicago while the NFL champion Kansas City Chiefs stayed unbeaten.
<br/>
<br/>
Daniels, questionable until game time with a rib injury, scrambled to evade defenders then hurled the ball half the field to the goal line.
<br/>
<br/>
Bears defender Tyrique Stevenson tipped it from among a pack of players and into the end zone, where Noah Brown caught it for an astonishing "Hail Mary" game-winning touchdown.
<br/>
<br/>
"I was juiced up for sure. It was exciting," Daniels said. "That's like a once-in-a-lifetime experience – that was my first time.
<br/>
<br/>
"I just threw the ball up," he added. "I didn't see anything. I just heard people screaming and our sidelined rushing the field – that's how I knew."
<br/>
<br/>
Daniels, who completed 21-of-38 passes for 326 yards, called it a miraculous play.
<br/>
<br/>
At Las Vegas, Patrick Mahomes threw for 262 yards and two touchdowns to spark the unbeaten Chiefs over the host Raiders 27-20.
<br/>
<br/>
The Chiefs became the seventh reigning Super Bowl champion to start the next campaign 7-0, the first since New England in 2019. Only Denver in 1998 managed to win another title after those starts.
<br/>
<br/>
"We played a pretty good game," Mahomes said. "We're building and going in the right direction."
<br/>
<br/>
But the NFL's play of the season was by Daniels, who was feeling rib pain near the end of the game.
<br/>
<br/>
"It's tough when you've got to throw the ball, have to rotate with it," Daniels said. "I started the game. I wanted to finish it – nothing was going to take me out of the game."
<br/>
<br/>
The Commanders grabbed a 12-0 lead but Chicago seized the lead on a touchdown with 23 seconds remaining, only to fall on an incredible play.
<br/>
<br/>
"That's a hard way to lose," Bears coach Matt Eberflus said. "I've got to look at it, detail it out, and make sure we're better next time."
<br/>
<br/>
The Commanders stayed atop the NFC East at 6-2. Chicago fell to 4-3.
<br/>
<br/>
Brown was overjoyed after catching the NFL's first go-ahead "Hail Mary" touchdown pass in the last 10 seconds of a game since 2020.
<br/>
<br/>
"We've got a team full of fighters," Brown said. "We don't give up until the final whistle. "Just try and get down there as fast as you can, get good position, hope Jayden can get the ball down there." (AFP)

<div class="itemFullText">
Carlos Sainz cruised to an emotional victory for Ferrari ahead of McLaren's Lando Norris in Sunday's incident-filled Mexico City Grand Prix as Red Bull's series leader Max Verstappen was handed two 10-second penalties on his way to sixth.
<br/>
<br/>
The stewards took a dim view of Verstappen's aggressive driving, the Red Bull driver twice forcing his title rival Norris off the track.
<br/>
<br/>
Norris grabbed second from Charles Leclerc in the other Ferrari near the finish as the Briton enjoyed a major boost in his quest to deny Verstappen a fourth consecutive world championship.
<br/>
<br/>
The McLaren driver cut 10 points off the gap to Verstappen which now stands at 47 with four race weekends remaining.
<br/>
<br/>
"I knew what to expect from Max," Verstappen said, speaking on the heavy price for his show of ruthlessness. "I respect him a lot as a driver and I expected it but it was not very clean driving in my opinion."
<br/>
<br/>
It was the second week in succession that the two title-chasers had clashed following a penalty for Norris at the United States Grand Prix. (AFP)

Man Utd fall to West Ham, slip to 14th on table

<br/>
<div class="itemFullText">
Manchester United's under-fire manager Erik ten Hag said he could only fault his side's finishing after a damaging 2-1 defeat for the Dutchman at struggling West Ham on Sunday.
<br/>
<br/>
United slipped to 14th in the Premier League table after Jarrod Bowen's controversial stoppage time penalty winner handed the Hammers all three points.
<br/>
<br/>
Crysencio Summerville put West Ham in front against the run of play 16 minutes from time before Casemiro equalised.
<br/>
<br/>
Ten Hag was furious at the award of the spot-kick after VAR intervened when Matthijs de Ligt clashed with Danny Ings inside the box.
<br/>
<br/>
United captain Bruno Fernandes had a red card rescinded after being sent-off in a 3-0 defeat by Tottenham last month and Ten Hag highlighted the inconsistency of when VAR decides to challenge the referee's on-field decision.
<br/>
<br/>
"Before the season they explained the process of VAR – only when it is clear and obvious they should interfere," said Ten Hag.
<br/>
<br/>
"What they didn't do against Spurs, that was a wrong decision," he added. "Now they make a wrong decision interfering and both have big impact on the games. I don't criticise the personnel, I criticise the process."
<br/>
<br/>
However, it was a familiar lack of wastefulness in front of goal that cost United a much-needed victory.
<br/>
<br/>
Diogo Dalot missed an open goal, while Alejandro Garnacho and Fernandes were also guilty of missing huge chances in a dominant first-half display.
<br/>
<br/>
"We created so many chances, played so good football, especially in the first half. How I want my team to play in and out of possession," added Ten Hag.
<br/>
<br/>
United's return of eight goals from their first nine games is their worst in the Premier League era.
<br/>
<br/>
Ten Hag's men have won just three of those matches and drawn all three of their opening games in the Europa League to leave their manager clinging on to his job.
<br/>
<br/>
But he claimed to have seen positive signs in a 2-1 win over Brentford last weekend and a 1-1 draw at Fenerbahce prior to their visit to the London Stadium.
<br/>
<br/>
"At this moment the luck is definitely not on our side. Last season was not different and near the end we turned it around," said Ten Hag.
<br/>
<br/>
"We are so determined it will be the same this season," he added. "We have to turn this around and it will turn around if we keep playing like we are now." (AFP)

<br/>
<div class="itemFullText">
Mohamed Salah's equaliser salvaged Liverpool a 2-2 draw at Premier League title rivals Arsenal on Sunday.
<br/>
<br/>
Liverpool began the weekend on top after winning 11 of their opening 12 games in all competitions under Arne Slot.
<br/>
<br/>
But a draw sees the Reds fall one point behind Manchester City at the top of the table, with Arsenal now five points adrift of the leaders in third.
<br/>
<br/>
"We're in the business where you can be on top one week and then not," said Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk. "We are in October and let's see what it brings us at the end of the season. Enjoy the ride."
<br/>
<br/>
Bukayo Saka recovered from a hamstring injury to start for Arsenal and gave the home side the perfect start with a stunning touch and finish from Ben White's pass on nine minutes.
<br/>
<br/>
Van Dijk quickly levelled from a corner, but Arsenal led again before half-time through Mikel Merino's header.
<br/>
<br/>
Liverpool improved after the break and got their reward when Darwin Nunez teed up Salah for his eighth goal of the season."
<br/>
<br/>
"Credit to Liverpool – we feel like we didn't play the full 90 minutes," said Saka.
<br/>
<br/>
"First half we showed our qualities, gave them nothing and they scored from a set piece," he added. "I can't think of another chance they had. Second half we weren't at our best." (AFP)
