Emotional moment Spryo meets his mentor, Faze

Singer Spyro shares an emotional experience after meeting with his longtime mentor, veteran Nigerian musician Faze, at his residence.

The Who’s Your Guy crooner revealed that the encounter left him overwhelmed, admitting that he broke down in tears after Faze’s visit.

Spyro opens up on Faze’s Influence on his music

According to Spyro, the legendary singer’s songs played a significant role in shaping his musical journey and personal growth.

He revealed that Faze’s songs evoked deep emotions when he revisited them after the meeting at his home.

Reflecting on the impact of Faze’s music artistry, Spyro lamented that much of today’s music lacks the depth and soul that defined earlier generations.

Spyro speaks on his coming album

He noted that this realization is part of the inspiration behind his upcoming album titled The Men, The Boys and Your Guy, which he says will attempt to revive the richness and emotional connection that influenced him as an artist.

His words …

“Yesterday I lost every ounce of STEEZE and composure as Faze came to my house. I don’t even know how to express the feeling. When he left I started playing old songs and I lost it, I cried like a baby. Those were the songs that formed me, songs that moved my depth.
This is what I feel the new generation music lacks, which is what I am trying to bring back with my new Album THE MEN, THE BOYS AND YOUR GUY. “

UCL: Osimhen strike sinks Liverpool in Istanbul

Victor Osimhen was the difference on a thunderous Champions League night as Galatasaray handed Liverpool their second successive defeat.

The Nigerian forward struck from the penalty spot in the 16th minute after Dominik Szoboszlai fouled Baris Alper Yilmaz, punishing the Premier League champions in front of a deafening RAMS Park crowd.

The goal came seconds after Davinson Sanchez had denied Cody Gakpo with a clearance off the line, swinging the tide firmly Galatasaray’s way.

Slot’s gamble backfires as Reds toil

Liverpool coach Arne Slot chose to start without Mohamed Salah, hoping to spark a reaction after the weekend loss at Crystal Palace.

But the decision misfired, with Salah and Alexander Isak only introduced after the hour mark to little effect.

Alisson kept Liverpool in the contest with several big saves, including one from Osimhen, before limping off injured.

A late chance to level disappeared when Ibrahima Konate’s penalty claim was overturned by VAR, silencing brief celebrations.

Reds exposed under pressure

Liverpool once again looked fragile at the back, their expensively assembled attack failing to leave a mark.

Florian Wirtz was anonymous, while Hugo Ekitike added to the problems by departing injured.

The result leaves Slot’s side facing early questions in Europe despite sitting top of the Premier League.

They face Chelsea next in the Premier League this weekend.

UCL: Chelsea edge Benfica as Mourinho suffers Stamford Bridge return defeat

Chelsea secured their first Champions League win of the season with a narrow 1-0 victory over Benfica at Stamford Bridge, courtesy of a calamitous own goal from Richard Rios.

The result eased pressure on head coach Enzo Maresca, whose side had lost three of their last four matches.

Rios own goal separates the sides

The decisive moment came in the first half when Pedro Neto’s cross found Alejandro Garnacho who returned the ball into the box only for Rios to turn it into his own net.

It was a rare highlight in an otherwise tense contest, with Chelsea once again struggling for fluency in attack.

Benfica, managed by former Blues boss Jose Mourinho, threatened early as Dodi Lukebakio hit the post and later forced Robert Sanchez into a save.

Mourinho, making an emotional return to west London, was booked in the second half after protesting a free-kick decision.

Chelsea still unconvincing despite win

Maresca fielded a makeshift lineup due to injuries, starting 18-year-old Tyrique George in attack and handing Facundo Buonanotte a surprise start.

Despite flashes from Neto and Garnacho, Chelsea failed to create clear chances after the interval, while Benfica pushed for an equaliser.

The Blues ended the night with 10 men after substitute Joao Pedro received a second yellow card late on, continuing a troubling run of red cards in recent weeks.

For Mourinho, it was another frustrating night at Stamford Bridge, extending his record as an opposing manager at the ground to just one win in eight attempts.

For Chelsea, the three points provide relief but also underline the work Maresca faces in steadying an inconsistent side.

UCL: Mbappé bags hat-trick as Real Madrid thrash Kairat Almaty 5-0

Real Madrid bounced back from their derby defeat to Atletico with a 5-0 thumping of Kairat Almaty in their Champions League league phase fixture at the Ortalyq Stadion.

Mbappé hat-trick leads the charge

The hosts nearly stunned Madrid in the opening seconds, but Thibaut Courtois denied a close-range header.

Madrid then took control, earning the breakthrough when Franco Mastantuono was fouled by teenage goalkeeper Sherhan Kalmurza. Kylian Mbappé converted the penalty with ease.

The Frenchman doubled the lead early in the second half with a delicate chip over Kalmurza, before completing his hat-trick in the 73rd minute after good work from Rodrygo and Arda Güler. It marked Mbappé’s fourth Champions League treble.

Camavinga and Díaz complete the rout

Eduardo Camavinga marked his return from injury with a well-taken header for Madrid’s fourth goal, while Brahim Díaz added a fifth in stoppage time, finishing off a pass from Gonzalo García.

The emphatic victory keeps Madrid’s Champions League campaign on track and restores confidence after their derby setback.

Xabi Alonso’s men now prepare to face Villarreal next in La Liga.

2026 World Cup Qualifiers: South Africa’s Reaction After Being Deducted Three Points

The South African Football Association (SAFA) has reacted after FIFA deducted three points and imposed a fine on its national team, Bafana Bafana for fielding midfielder Teboho Mokoena in their World Cup qualifier against Lesotho in March.

Recall that the ruling was given on Monday by FIFA.
South Africa had breached disciplinary rules by playing Mokoena, who should have been suspended after collecting two yellow cards earlier in the qualifying campaign.
Bafana had initially won the March 21 match 2-0, but FIFA overturned the result and awarded Lesotho a 3-0 victory.
The punishment dramatically shifts the Group C table. South Africa’s six-point lead over Nigeria has now been cut to three, while Benin Republic move top of the standings on goal difference.
SAFA, however, insists the sanction is both harsh and procedurally unfair. “As SAFA, we are deeply disappointed with this unprecedented outcome, noting that it was delivered by a single-member panel without reasons, and without affording the association an opportunity to present legal arguments,” the body said in a statement.
The association added: “We have requested written reasons for the judgment and intend to lodge a formal appeal with the FIFA Appeals Committee within the prescribed 10-day period under FIFA’s disciplinary rules.”
With the appeal pending, South Africa face a tense end to the qualifiers. Hugo Broos’ men must now win their final two fixtures against Lesotho and Zimbabwe in October to strengthen their World Cup hopes.
Meanwhile, Benin Republic look set to profit most from FIFA’s ruling. They host Rwanda in their next match before a potentially decisive showdown against Nigeria. The Super Eagles, who also take on Zimbabwe in their penultimate game, must win to keep their qualification hopes alive.
The Group C race, once seemingly tilted in South Africa’s favour, is now wide open with just two rounds left to play.
