Bala Town are in the Europa League second round for the first time in their history thanks to Chris Venables' winner against Valletta in Malta.

The Lakesiders are in the competition for the sixth time.

Venables scored in the opening period and goalkeeper Alex Ramsay saved a penalty as the visitors held on.

Bala were knocked out by Tre Fiore of San Marino in the preliminary round in 2018, thanks to a 3-0 away leg loss, but there was no let-down this time.

The Lakesiders qualified for Europe after they finished third in the curtailed 2019-20 Cymru Premier season.

Leo Smith and Adrian Cieslewicz scored in extra time against MŠK Žilina to send The New Saints into the second round of Europa League qualifying at Park Hall.

Louis Robles rewarded the hosts' first-hour pressure with a headed flick from a corner after the break.

But Patrik Myslovic levelled from the penalty spot and the score remained level until the end of normal time.

Smith struck after 100 minutes and Cieslewick's penalty sealed the win.

Saints went into the encounter hoping to progress after last season's disappointment and having had to settle for second in the Cymru Premier and a Europa League spot after the 2019-20 season was halted because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The famed character actor Caesar Cordova, who starred in the classic Al Pacino films Scarface and Carlito's Way, has passed away.

The San Juan, Puerto Rican-born actor was 84.

Caesar's son Panchito Gomez, who has appeared in TV shows such as CSI: Miami and NYPD Blue, announced his death on Friday.

For the last 3 years, Chelsea have been a soft touch. They play nice attacking football but are pretty awful at the back, and seem to crumble under pressure. They only seem to have one way of playing. I actually like Lampard and think he overachieved last season with Chelsea, mainly due to Leicester’s and Wolves’ end of season collapses. You can’t hold that against them because they did what was needed to obtain CL football, but any other season their tally wouldn’t have got them top 4. The last team to finish 4th with a lower points tally was Everton in 2005!

Leeds United have signed Spain forward Rodrigo from Valencia for a club record 29m euro (£26m) fee.

Rodrigo, 29, has signed a four-year contract with Marcelo Bielsa's side, who are back in the Premier League after a 16-year absence.

He scored 59 goals in 220 games for Valencia, helping the La Liga club win the Copa del Rey in 2018-19.

Leeds' previous record transfer was former England captain Rio Ferdinand, who cost £18m from West Ham in 2000.

Rodrigo had a spell in England with Bolton Wanderers in 2010-11 and initially joined Valencia on loan from Portuguese side Benfica in 2014.

Born in Brazil, he made his Spain debut in 2014 and has scored eight goals in 22 international appearances.

Northern Ireland's Stuart Dallas has questioned the timing of international football's return due to its close proximity to the new Premier League season.

NI begin their Nations League campaign with a trip to Romania on Friday before hosting Norway in Belfast three days later.

Dallas, who is expected to feature in Leeds United's Premier League opener at Liverpool on 12 September, says the timing is "disrupting everything".

"I just can't help but feel these games shouldn't be played," Dallas told Radio Ulster's Sportsound.

"I don't know if that's controversial or not, but I think it's disrupting everything."

Glastonbury organisers aim to have the festival back in June, Emily Eavis has said.

The co-organiser of the event said on Twitter that despite rumours, next year's festival was not moving to September.

Founder Michael Eavis had previously said the fate of the 2021 event was uncertain as this year's festival was cancelled because of coronavirus.

His daughter Emily said: "We're still very much aiming for June."

The 2020 festival would have been a 50th anniversary celebration and 135,000 music fans who bought tickets will be able to use them next summer.

Tottenham Hotspur have signed defender Matt Doherty from Premier League rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers for an undisclosed fee.

The Republic of Ireland right-back, 28, has signed a four-year deal with Spurs.

Doherty made over 300 appearances for Wolves after joining from League of Ireland side Bohemians in 2010.

He becomes Spurs' third signing of the summer following the arrivals of midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and goalkeeper Joe Hart.

"I'm very proud to be joining such a big club," said Doherty.

"[They have] the best stadium in the world and possibly the best training ground in the world.

"Once I knew there was interest, it was a no-brainer for me.

"My time at Wolves was fantastic - I haven't got a bad word to say about the whole club at all. I just feel like coming here is going to take my game and my career to the next level."
