Bologna beat AC Milan 1-0 to win first Italian Cup title in 51 years

Bologna ended a 51-year wait for a major trophy when it beat AC Milan 1-0 to win the Italian Cup. Dan Ndoye returned from injury to score the only goal and help Bologna to its first Italian Cup since 1974. The club, which is owned by Canadian Joey Saputo, has only won two second-division titles in between. It was also coach Vincenzo Italiano's first win in a final, having lost back-to-back Europa Conference League title matches while in charge of Fiorentina and finishing runner-up in the 2023 Italian Cup. They were three hefty disappointments, Italiano told broadcaster Mediaset. I didn't think I could immediately come back and get my own back. But we succeeded and I'm happy. I add an important trophy to my mantlepiece and I truly dedicate it to the guys, who were extraordinary. Italiano had been flung in the air by his players in celebration immediately after the final whistle. Many of them were in tears of joy, much like some of the thousands of Bologna fans in the stands.

The 22-year-old Zheng, the Olympic champion from China, had lost all six previous matches against Sabalenka.

Wrestling gold medalist medalist Kyle Snyder charged in prostitution sting

Olympic gold medalist Kyle Snyder, one of the most successful wrestlers in U.S. history, was arrested in a prostitution sting, according to police in Columbus. Snyder, 29, was charged with engaging in prostitution after he was arrested on Friday, according to court records, which did not list an attorney for him. Messages seeking comment from Snyder were not immediately returned on Tuesday. Snyder became the youngest American wrestler to win Olympic gold at age 20 during the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, and he followed that up with a silver at the Tokyo Games. He lost in the bronze-medal match at last year's Olympics in Paris. He was a three-time NCAA champion at Ohio State and has won three world championships. Just last week, the Real American Freestyle wrestling league announced it had added Snyder to it's lineup. The league, with pro wrestling icon Hulk Hogan as the commissioner, is slated to hold its first event Aug. 30 in Cleveland.
