Real Madrid 1-0 Liverpool: Karim Benzema poaches winner for hosts but Brendan Rodgers' reserves avoid pain in Spain
here for our brilliant Match Zone
They got what they came for: defeat with
honour. It is pointless Brendan Rodgers
trying to spin it any other way. There is no
way Liverpool could have hoped to win in
the Bernabeu Stadium with this team.
That they survived with dignity intact is as
much by luck as judgement. Yes,
Liverpool worked very hard, defended
tenaciously and goalkeeper Simon
Mignolet – one of the few first-team
regulars to keep his place – was
magnificent.
Yet it also needed Gareth Bale to hit the
bar, Cristiano Ronaldo to take one touch
too many repeatedly and Real Madrid,
collectively, to squander enough
JONAS SALK: Google says ‘thanks’ to the heroic polio-vaccine developer with birthday Doodle
WHILE I WAS attending the University of California at San Diego, the singular view beckoned. There, just a block’s walk away, was the Salk Institute, perched like a pearl above the Pacific. There, as if squatting before a runway, you could watch people sprint and hurl themselves off the cliff top, sometimes dipping precipitously toward the waves, over and down…till the Western gusts breathed new life beneath the hang glider, and the curving and wind-carving thermal dance began.
Fishermen finds missing Nigerian Air Force Alpha Fighter Jet (NAF 466) near River Benue
The missing Nigerian Air Force Alpha Fighter Jet (NAF 466) may have been found at the bank of River Benue.
The fighter jet, said to have been missing since September 12, was believed to have had two pilots on board before it disappeared.
The plane had reportedly left the Yola International Airport at about 10:45 am on a routine operational mission to some areas in the state under attacks by members of the Boko Haram sect.
The jet that was expected back by 12 noon same day had been missing since while efforts to trace it had failed.
There were unconfirmed reports however on Tuesday that the plane had been found in Kwaine in the Demsa Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
It had not been confirmed by the NAF search team as of the time of this report if the remains of the aircraft found near the River Benue belonged to the same missing fighter jet the Air Force.
A resident of Kwaine, who preferred anonymity, told our correspondent on phone that the remains of the aircraft was discovered by some fishermen at the bank of River Benue and that the fishermen had alerted security agencies on the discovery.
The resident said the entire area had been cordoned by security operatives.
The NAF Alpha Jet (NAF 466) participated in the counter insurgency operation against the Boko Haram before it went off the radar on Friday, September 12.
Efforts to speak with the Director of Air Force Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Dele Alonge, proved abortive. When our correspondent called on the phone, a male voice in his office simply said, “It is onlyOga that can speak on the matter.”
