Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images David Da Costa had a goal and an assist and Antony Alves Santos added three helpers as the Portland Timbers held on to defeat the Los Angeles Galaxy 4-2 Sunday night in Carson, Calif.
Santiago Moreno, Kevin Kelsy and Jonathan Rodriguez also tallied for the Timbers (5-2-3, 18 points), who extended their unbeaten streak to seven matches (4-0-3).
Christian Ramirez had a goal and an assist and Marco Reus also scored for the defending MLS Cup champion Galaxy (0-7-3, 3 points).
Trailing 3-0, the Galaxy scored twice in a three-minute span midway through the second half to get back in the match.
Ramirez tallied in the 67th minute, sliding to redirect a cross from Joseph Paintsil into the lower left corner of the net from 8 yards out.
In the 69th, Reus stole the ball about 35 yards from the Portland net and sprinted into the box to take a return pass from Ramirez and put a right-footed shot into the right-side netting.
The Galaxy’s comeback bid was thwarted in the 75th minute when referee Filip Dujic ruled L.A. defender Emiro Garces tripped Rodriguez just inside the top of the 18-yard box. Rodriguez blasted the ensuing penalty kick into the upper left corner of the net to make it 4-2.
The Timbers opened the scoring in the 38th minute on the lone shot on goal in the first half. Moreno dribbled the ball into the penalty area and fed Juan Mosquera on the right wing.
Mosquera’s sharp-angled shot from the right edge of the 6-yard box went across the goalmouth but was tracked down in the left wing corner by Antony, who flicked the ball over defender Miki Yamane, then dropped a pass to Da Costa, whose volley from 10 yards out overpowered Galaxy goalkeeper John McCarthy and snuck inside the near post.
Portland made it 2-0 on the counterattack in the 53rd minute. Joao Ortiz’s pass to Antony at midfield set up a three-on-two rush. Antony dribbled down the left wing and sent a cross past Kelsy and to Moreno on the right wing just inside the top of the penalty area. Moreno put a 12-yard shot past an onrushing McCarthy to double the Timbers’ lead.
Portland made it 3-0 in the 63rd minute as Moreno kept the ball inbounds on the left wing and passed ahead to Antony. He sent a cross to Kelsy, who put a left-footed shot from 17 yards off the underside of the crossbar and into the net.

Hannah Green wins her 2nd HSBC Women's World Championship
Aug 21, 2025; Mississauga, Ontario, CAN; Hannah Green plays her tee shot at the third hole during first round play at the CPKC Women’s Open golf tournament. Mandatory Credit: Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images Australia’s Hannah Green held off Auston Kim on Sunday to win the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore for the second time.
Green, the 2024 champion, balanced three birdies and three bogeys on an eventful back nine to finish with a 3-under 69 and a final score of 14-under at Sentosa Golf Club. The 2019 Women’s PGA Championship winner tapped in for bogey at the 18th for her seventh LPGA Tour title.
“When I did win Singapore two years ago, I went on to win two other tournaments that season and pretty much had my best season on tour,” said Green, 29. “So having a win so early in the season gives me a bit more flexibility with the tournaments that I can play. So I’m hoping that this puts me in good stead for the rest of the year.”
Green was at 16-under after birdies at the first, 11th and 13th holes and an eagle at the par-5 eighth hole. Her birdie at the par-3 15th helped her survive a bogey-bogey finish.
“I knew that I had enough of a lead to be able to get away with making mistakes coming down the stretch. But I think 15 was the real turning point,” she said.
First- and second-round leader Kim nearly chased down her first title, matching the low round of the day with a 67 to finish one shot behind Green in the 72-hole, no-cut tournament.
Kim carded six birdies and an eagle at No. 8, but a bogey at the par-3 15th proved costly for the 25-year-old American.
“Overall, I think it was a really solid week,” Kim said. “A great way to start the year. I hit a lot of bad shots but I also hit a lot of good ones, and it was really confidence boosting. I hit all these bad shots, and I didn’t feel like I had anything chose to my A game, but I was still able it pull off a result like this and play some really solid golf.”
Australia’s Minjee Lee (72 on Sunday), Angel Yin (71) and France’s Pauline Roussin-Bouchard (68) tied for third place at 11-under with South Korea’s Haeran Ryu (72) another shot back in solo sixth.
World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand finished with a 73 and tied for 31st at 2-under, one shot behind defending champion Lydia Ko (72) of New Zealand.

Feb 22, 2026; West Palm Beach, Florida, USA; St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol (37) looks on from inside the dugout against the Houston Astros during the fifth inning at CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches. Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol received a two-year contract extension through the 2028 season, the team announced Sunday.
Financial terms were not disclosed by the team, which holds an option for the 2029 season.
“As I’ve gotten to know Oli, I’ve seen someone who cares about this organization and knows what has made the Cardinals special over time — and who understands that for us to get where we need to go, we must compete relentlessly to set new standards in everything that we do,” president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said.
“He is invested in the progress of our young core and is unafraid to challenge himself and to help those around him grow. I am energized to continue working with him towards the on-field success that we expect and that our fans deserve.”
Marmol, 39, has guided the Cardinals to a 325-323 record during his four seasons as the skipper. He led St. Louis to the National League Central title in 2022 before the team fell in the wild-card series to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Last season, the Cardinals posted a 78-84 record to finish in fourth place in the NL Central.
Marmol was a coach with St. Louis from 2017-21 under previous managers Mike Shildt and Mike Matheny.
