MADRID, Aug 23 (Reuters) - Erik Lamela continued his flying start to life with Sevilla as the Argentine struck a last-minute winner for the Andalusians to give them a 1-0 victory over Getafe in LaLiga on Monday. The win means they join Atletico Madrid as the only two sides with a 100% LaLiga record after two weeks of the season. Defender Jules Kounde headed over before partner Diego Carlos was denied by a flying save from David Soria as Sevilla turned the screw. But there would be a twist in the fourth minute of stoppage time as En-Nesyri played in debutant Rafa Mir. Sevilla visit Elche next Saturday as they look to make it three from three, while Getafe will seek their first points of the campaign when they travel to Barcelona on Sunday.

Dar Al-Iftaa, Egypt’s religious authority concerned with issuing Islamic fatwas (opinions), had censured Mahran in January after suggesting the “experimental marriage” initiative. In a statement, Dar Al-Iftaa said “obviously, the one who gave this description to this marriage wanted to achieve propaganda gains at the expense of the well-established societal values of the family.”At the time, Dar Al-Iftaa said writing down conditions in the marriage contract banning husband from the right of divorcing his wife is invalid. Otherwise, it is a forbidden marriage that does not have the legal consequences of marriage,” Dar Al-Iftaa added. Checking Twitter, the majority of social media responses have been against the initiative. Abdel Fattah said whoever is responsible for these initiatives only seek fame and social media response, whether or good or bad.

VALENCIA :Gareth Bale scored his first goal in almost two years for Real Madrid in LaLiga on Sunday but substitute Vinicius Jr stole the show with two late strikes to grab a 3-3 draw at Levante in a game that had it all. Levante striker Roger Marti beat Thibaut Courtois to level just after the interval before Jose Campana put the hosts in front with a sensational volley in the 57th. Ancelotti took off Bale, Eden Hazard and Isco moments after the goal and substitute Vinicius made the difference, levelling in the 73rd minute with a coolly taken finish following a defence-splitting through ball from deep by Casemiro. Levante restored their lead in the 79th though Roger Pier following a free kick and were inches away from grabbing a fourth when Alejandro Cantero struck the far post on another rapid counter-attack. But Vinicius again came to Real's rescue, levelling in the 85th minute with an audacious shot in off the post from a tight angle.

MADRID (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid forward Angel Correa scored for the third time in two games to give the LaLiga champions a somewhat unconvincing 1-0 win at home to Elche in an emotional return for supporters at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium on Sunday. Captain Koke paraded the LaLiga trophy to the 25,000 fans at the stadium before kick off in the first Atletico home game with supporters since March 2020 although the party atmosphere was dampened as the hosts made a poor start to the game. But Correa eventually gave Atletico the lead in the 39th minute, calmly slotting into an unguarded net with the outside of his boot after Elche goalkeeper Kiko Casilla failed to properly deal with a long ball from Rodrigo de Paul. Correa scored both of Atletico's goals in their 2-1 win at Celta Vigo on the opening weekend and is responsible for 100% of Diego Simeone's side's goals so far this season. Casilla did his best to atone for his mistake by making two fine saves early in the second half, keeping out efforts from Jose Gimenez and Yannick Carrasco.
