A casa do Palmeiras será o primeiro estádio no país a contar com a tecnologia de iluminação dinâmica Interact Sports. Estas luminárias proporcionam cerca de 54% de eficiência energética e se adequam completamente à nova normatização da CBF.
Diferente das lâmpadas convencionais, o acendimento das novas luzes é instantâneo e resulta em uma melhora na qualidade da luminosidade dentro de campo e, principalmente, nas arquibancadas.

Além de deixar o ambiente mais confortável e tornar as transmissões televisivas mais notáveis, a mudança representa um foco sustentável e um atrativo para quem frequenta o Allianz Parque, seja em um jantar dentro das dependências do estádio, em jogos, ou até mesmo em shows.
O retorno de investimento para o Allianz é esperado dentro de um prazo de até cinco anos, sendo que uma redução de gastos de até 73% é considerada. Trata-se de um menor consumo de energia elétrica e um baixo custo na manutenção das novas luminárias LED, que pode ser feita através de um software exclusivo.
O Palmeiras decidiu entrar neste projeto e defende a ideia de que seus torcedores sejam contemplados com uma nova forma de aproveitarem as partidas dentro do estádio.

Isso porque o Massa Bruta já tem seu avanço garantido ao mata-mata do estadual e em primeiro do Grupo D com 19, oito a mais do que o atual vice-líder, Santo André, restando somente dois compromissos a serem disputados.
Desta forma, o técnico Mauricio Barbieri falou abertamente sobre a possibilidade de fazer o chamado “rodízio” nas peças disponíveis do elenco. Porém, sem deixar de considerar que a ausência de ritmo de jogo para os habituais titulares, mesmo pensando na preservação física, precisa ser administrado.
-Tenho a ideia e essa expectativa. Preciso somente avaliar primeiro a condição de cada um. Não posso deixar a equipe por um período muito tempo sem jogos. Isso não favorece deixar muitos dias sem jogos para um jogo decisivo. Vamos avaliar com bastante critério – apontou o técnico em entrevista coletiva após o triunfo por 2 a 0 sobre o Botafogo-SP.
Nos últimos dois duelos do Paulistão, o Braga visita o Ituano, no próximo domingo (13), às 20h30 (de Brasília), e recebe no Nabizão o Palmeiras, no dia 20 de março, em confronto marcado para às 16h.
The NZ allrounder says he is only skipping the 2022 season, and hopes to feature in future editions of the tournament
ESPNcricinfo staff03-Feb-2022
KYle Jamieson was the second-most expensive buy at the 2021 IPL auction•BCCI
Kyle Jamieson opted out of the IPL auction in order to spend more time at home – and away from Covid-19 restrictions on tour – and to give himself a window in which to work on his game with an eye towards firming up his spot in the New Zealand side across formats. The fast-bowling allrounder revealed this during a media interaction on the eve of Auckland’s Plunket Shield opener against Northern Districts, which is set to begin on Friday.”Yeah, look, there were a couple of things for me,” Jamieson said, when asked why he hadn’t put his name on the IPL’s auction list. “Firstly, after the last 12 months, it’s had its challenges with MIQs (managed isolation and quarantine) and bubbles and spending a fair amount of time in that sort of set-up. It was important for me, when I look at the schedule coming up over the next 12 months to try and find six weeks or eight weeks where I can spend some time at home.”The second thing for me was, reflecting over the last 12-24 months and understanding that I’m very young in my [international] career and only two years in, that I wanted to have time to work on my game. I guess I didn’t really feel like I was where I wanted to be and if I want to compete for spots in the New Zealand sides moving forward across all three formats, I actually need to spend time working on my game and not just trying to play the whole time. Yeah, for me it was just about time at home and just time to work on my game.”Jamieson said he was only skipping the 2022 season of the IPL for now, and hoped he would be able to feature in future editions of the tournament.”I guess it was [a difficult decision] initially,” he said. “I sat with it for a fair while, and it was kind of lucky I had a couple of months in bubbles to sit in my room and have a think, but once I’d made the decision, it was a bit of a weight off my shoulder in a way, in terms of just focusing on myself and trying to get better.”I’m still pretty young, I still think I’m young at 27 and I’ve still got a few years ahead, so this is just for this year and looking at what the next 12 months will look like, and hopefully moving forward there will be more opportunities to try and dip my toes into that environment.”Jamieson was the second-most-expensive buy at the 2021 auction, with Royal Challengers Bangalore signing him for INR 15 crore (USD 2 million approx). After that experience – which he had termed “surreal” – he went on to have a difficult first season for the Royal Challengers, playing nine of their 15 games and taking nine wickets while conceding 9.60 runs per over, the highest economy rate of all their bowlers to have bowled in at least five innings.”I don’t think it’s either good or bad, it’s just another learning, another experience to have, and just trying to learn from situations,” he said, when asked for his thoughts on that season. “Look, it certainly changed my life and yeah, it was a big moment that happened, but I guess just trying to learn from that, learn from the experience I had in the IPL, and more so the 12 months in general, and I guess some of the restrictions we had around cricket.”It’s been good in a way to sit back over these last couple of weeks and over the last couple of months to reflect on the 12 months that have gone and take that stuff into the next couple of Tests (against South Africa) and into the next couple of months moving forward.”A year on from that life-changing auction, Jamieson says he is more aware of his own game as a T20 cricketer.”Look, you see different situations in a game. I think I can kind of read them a little bit better. I have an understanding of where my game is at and how that matches up, but then also a fair bit around what I need to work on. I think just having been around a fair bit of T20 cricket over the last 12 months has actually been pretty good and given me some good learnings and good stuff to reflect on to how I use that April-May period to try and work on my game.”
Netherlands suffer 7 for 12 collapse from winning position while Francisca Chipare rescued Zimbabwe in a thriller against USA
ESPNcricinfo staff25-Nov-2021
Sornnarin Tippoch’s 69 and 1 for 35 and Nattaya Boochatham’s 5 for 26 proved pivotal in Thailand’s historic 16-run DLS-decided Group B win over Bangladesh in the Women’s World Cup Qualifiers. This was their second one-day victory over a team with ODI status, the first one having come earlier in the tournament, over Zimbabwe.

Given Thailand don’t yet hold ODI status, their victory against Bangladesh has strengthened their chance to seal a Super Six berth in the qualifier, which would ensure them the ODI cachet by virtue of gaining automatic qualification for the next cycle of the expanded, ten-team ICC Women’s Championship.Chasing 177, Tippoch strung a 97 opening stand with Natthakan Chantham (37 off 69), hitting seven fours in her 113-ball knock. Both openers, however, fell in the space of 5.1 overs. By the time rain intervened, Thailand were 132 for 2 in 39.2 overs, 15 runs ahead of their DLS cutoff of 117.Earlier, Thailand’s decision to bowl paid dividends as restricted Bangladesh, unbeaten in the competition until today, to 176 for 8 off 50 overs. Fargana Hoque (51), Murshida Khatun (46), Lata Mondal (29), and Rumana Ahmed (27) were the only batters to make double-digit scores.Thailand trail first-placed Bangladesh, who have a superior net run rate, by one spot on the Group B points table, with both on four points apiece from two wins out of three games.Laura Delany and Orla Prendergast were the stars of the show for Ireland as they defended a total of 199 against Netherlands in the Women’s World Cup qualifiers at Harare. Delany top-scored with 75 even as the rest of her line-up tumbled around her. The 21-year old Dutch legspinner Silver Siegers picked up 4 for 24 to set up what looked like a straightforward chase and for the longest time it was. They were 158 for 3 in the 43rd over with victory very much in sight when Delany popped up with the run-out of Netherlands captain Heather Siegers. That triggered a collapse – seven wickets for 12 runs, three of them to Prendergast – as the game turned completely on its head.Francisca Chipare rescued a Zimbabwe side that was teetering on the brink of defeat, the No. 11 cracking three fours in a 15-ball innings to secure a nail-biting one-wicket victory. USA could only post a total of 131, where their top-scorer was the extras with 23, but their bowlers rallied hard to make a match of it. The 31-year old seamer Moksha Chaudhary grabbed four wickets for herself as Zimbabwe slumped from 73 for 2 to 97 for 8. But even as the game seemed lost, up stepped a most unlikely hero. The 23-year old Chipare (16*) was one of only two players in the entire game with a strike rate better than run-a-ball.
Yorkshire’s handling of the investigation into allegations of institutional racism by Azeem Rafiq will face further parliamentary scrutiny with the news that Roger Hutton, the club’s chairman, is to be called before the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) select committee.Yorkshire announced last week that they would be taking no further action against any current employees, players or executives, after reviewing the report produced by an independent panel.The ECB, however, has promised to consider the “many serious allegations” contained in the report, after receiving a copy. ESPNcricinfo revealed on Monday that despite a Yorkshire player admitting to use of the word “P**i” when referring to Rafiq, it was excused by the panel on the basis that it was “banter”.In response, the health secretary, Sajid Javid, tweeted that “P**i is not banter”, adding that “heads should roll at Yorkshire”.Julian Knight, the DCMS select committee chair, said in a statement to the Press Association that Hutton would be called “to give a much fuller explanation than we have had so far”. Knight previously wrote to Yorkshire urging them to publish the report in full – something the club have so far resisted doing so on the grounds of privacy and defamation.Related

Yorkshire racism report ruled Rafiq being called 'P**i' was 'banter'
“This is extremely concerning and it’s clear that Yorkshire County Cricket Club has questions to answer,” Knight said in response to the latest allegations. “We have monitored developments around the club’s handling of the serious allegations made by Azeem Rafiq.”We want to see much greater transparency from YCCC – it is time for them to answer their critics. We intend to call the chair of the club before the DCMS Committee to give a much fuller explanation than we have had so far.”Yorkshire admitted in September that Rafiq was “a victim of racial harassment” during his time at the club, upholding seven of 43 allegations made by the former allrounder.
But after the club released a statement saying they were “pleased” to announce their response to the report – which included the conclusion that no disciplinary action was warranted – Rafiq condemned the developments as “embarrassing”.Meanwhile, the ground sponsor at Headingley, Emerald Publishing, has added to the pressure on Yorkshire by saying “there is clearly still a great deal more to do” and that it would be seeking a response from the club.”We take all matters related to any form of racism or discriminatory behaviour seriously and expect all our partners to uphold our values,” Emerald said in a statement to PA. “As sponsors of the Headingley stadium, we are dismayed by the conclusion of an independent panel that the former player, Azeem Rafiq, suffered racial harassment and bullying during his time at the club.”Whilst the club has offered its unreserved apology for this, and has made a number of positive changes in the intervening years, there is clearly still a great deal more to do. We are pursuing the actions from the YCCC in response to their latest statement and will continue to review the findings from the tribunal and ECB investigation in due course.”
كشفت تقارير صحفية بريطانية، أن نادي مانشستر سيتي الإنجليزي يسعى للتعاقد مع أحد لاعبي فريق كرة القدم الأول بنادي ريال مدريد خلال فترة الانتقالات الصيفية المقبلة.
واهتم مانشستر سيتي بالتعاقد مع رودريجو جوس لاعب ريال مدريد في الفترة الماضية، لكن الاهتمامات تراجعت، قبل أن يعود فريق بيب جوارديولا لمتابعة لاعب جديد في النادي الملكي.

شبكة “سكاي” البريطانية، أكدت بأن مانشستر سيتي يستهدف التعاقد مع الدولي الفرنسي إدواردو كامافينجا لاعب وسط فريق ريال مدريد الإسباني خلال الصيف المقبل.
وفي إطار سعي مانشستر سيتي لتدعيم صفوفه بعد الموسم الكارثي الحالي، أصبح النادي على استعداد لمواصلة إنفاق الأموال والهدف الحالي هو إدواردو كامافينجا.
وحسب ما أفادت التقارير البريطانية، أن وكالة اللاعب “CAA Stellar” تتمتع بعلاقة جيدة مع مانشستر سيتي، خاصة وأنها جلبت عمر مرموش إلى النادي الإنجليزي خلال ميركاتو الشتاء من فرانكفورت، رغم رغبة الأندية الأخرى في ضمه.
من جانبه، يركز اللاعب الفرنسي على موسمه مع ريال مدريد، ولا ينظر لمستقبله الآن، خاصة وأن عقده مستمر مع الفريق حتى عام 2029.
التقارير لم تشير إلى القيمة المالية، أو ما يفكر مانشستر سيتي في انفاقه، لكن من المنطقي أن ريال مدريد لن يتخلى عن كامافينجا بمبلغ قليل، خاصة وأنه لاعب أساسي في الفريق وعقده مستمر لمدة 4 سنوات أخرى.
صاحب الـ22 عامًا، انضم إلى ريال مدريد في صيف 2021، مقابل 31 مليون يورو، وحتى الآن حصل على جميع البطولات الممكنة التي خاضها مع النادي الملكي.
The visitors were made to work right to the very last minute for their victory, with the much-maligned striker delivering at the death
Liverpool scored twice in second-half stoppage time to beat Brentford 2-0 and keep up their push for the Premier League title.
Thomas Frank's Bees were resilient for 90 minutes but couldn't hold out having conceded 37 shots in total, as the Reds came away from west London with all three points.
Arne Slot's side had already dropped points at Nottingham Forest this week, and needed a better result here before Arsenal's match with Aston Villa kicked off later in the day. Fortunately for the visitors, they were rewarded for their endeavours with a grandstand finish.
The hosts ought to have been ahead inside five minutes, with Mads Roerslev nipping to the byline and flashing a cross right through the six-yard box, but neither Yoane Wissa or Mikkel Damsgaard could sort their feet out in time to tap home.
Liverpool took a while to settle into the game and had to wait until the 35th minute to go particularly close to an opener, as Dominik Szoboszlai thundered a strike from distance off the crossbar. Soon after, Cody Gakpo failed to make good of a free shot towards the back post after being found by Mohamed Salah, only for his weak effort to be easily collected and cleared.
After the break, the Reds wanted a penalty after Mark Flekken spilled a shot from Luis Diaz and appeared to clip the Colombian when scrambling for the loose ball, only for replays to clearly show there wasn't nearly enough contact to give a spot-kick.
Slot's side piled on the pressure in search of a winning goal and came close to that in the final 10 minutes when Trent Alexander-Arnold lashed a strike narrowly past the far post, while Virgil van Dijk was in the right place at the right time to slice over a Kevin Schade cross down the other end.
But into added time at the end of the 90 minutes, Liverpool grabbed that all-important goal. In an opening eerily similar to Brentford's first chance of the day, Alexander-Arnold found space to nip to the edge of the pitch and he cut back for Darwin Nunez to convert.
Liverpool and Nunez weren't done their, either. The Bees pushed everyone forward in search of an equaliser, allowing Harvey Elliott to tee up the Uruguayan to thump home.
GOAL rates Liverpool's players from the Gtech Community Stadium…
AFPGoalkeeper & Defence
Alisson (6/10):
Didn't have too much to do although saved well on a few occasions in the second half when called upon.
Trent Alexander-Arnold (7/10):
Defended with the diligence and desire he should really display every week. Tucked into midfield when Liverpool were dominating the ball. Assisted Nunez's go-ahead goal at the death.
Ibrahima Konate (6/10):
Won a number of headers, largely due to the sheer size advantage he boasted over Brentford's attackers, though was dragged into some scrappy duels when stepping higher up the pitch.
Virgil van Dijk (7/10):
Barked orders at his team-mates from the off and was far more composed than Konate when it came to dealing with the Bees' pesky forwards.
Kostas Tsimikas (5/10):
Offered another chance to stake a claim for a starting spot, but again didn't make good on such an opportunity. Replaced by Robertson midway through the second half.
AdvertisementGetty Images SportMidfield
Ryan Gravenberch (6/10):
Would occasionally break into speed to beat the Brentford press singlehandedly, such was the visitors' overarching lack of dynamism and explosiveness at times. Didn't set the world alight aside from that.
Alexis Mac Allister (6/10):
Likewise showed an occasional flurry of flair without truly grabbing the game by the scruff of the neck. Withdrawn for Jones for the final stages.
Dominik Szoboszlai (6/10):
Rattled the crossbar from around 25 yards in the first half, which proved to be the Hungarian's most notable contribution to the game. Came off for Elliott.
Getty Images SportAttack
Mohamed Salah (7/10):
Created chances by the bucket-load and how he must have wished he could have somehow been on the end of them himself. Lacked that spark when running to goal himself.
Luis Diaz (4/10):
Could never quite sort his feet out in the final third. Spurned a number of golden chances and was eventually hooked for Nunez.
Cody Gakpo (5/10):
The entire afternoon would have been different had he simply converted when one-on-one with compatriot Flekken. Nowhere near as sharp or energised from that point onwards. Taken off for Chiesa.

Andy Robertson (6/10):
On for Tsimikas and immediately provided more attacking threat.
Darwin Nunez (9/10):
Replaced Diaz. Taunted by the home fans for being 'just a sh*t Andy Carroll'. Appeared to take that personally and hit back with two huge goals in Liverpool's season.
Curtis Jones (6/10):
Brought on for the closing stages in place of Mac Allister.
Harvey Elliott (8/10):
Subbed on for Szoboszlai, and this changed the game. Found pockets of space between the lines and had a huge say in both goals.
Federico Chiesa (N/A):
Came on for Gakpo for the last few minutes.
Arne Slot (8/10):
Liverpool had to be extremely patient to breach Brentford's defence but they were rewarded come the end of the afternoon.
With home players forced to self-isolate, umpires decide to call off Derby fixture
ESPNcricinfo staff12-Jul-2021
Play was abandoned at Derby after the first day•Getty Images
Derbyshire’s LV= Insurance County Championship match against Essex at Derby has been abandoned after a member of the home side returned a positive Covid-19 test.The unnamed player has been forced to self-isolate, along with the entire squad to face Essex and those involved in Friday’s Blast fixture against Durham, who were deemed close contacts. Due to the impact on Derbyshire’s available playing staff, the umpires took the decision to call off the game.”The ECB has worked closely with Public Heath England and both Derbyshire and Essex County Cricket Clubs with the health and safety of players, staff and officials the first priority,” an ECB statement said. “Confirmation on the awarding of points from the match will be announced in due course.”The abandonment comes a day after Kent were forced to pick a new squad for their Championship match against Sussex, and in the wake of a similar episode for the England men’s team, when a number of players and staff tested positive for Covid-19 after an ODI in Bristol.”As a club, we have operated a robust testing regime among all staff throughout the return to cricket and have clear safety regulations in place for supporters,” Derbyshire’s chief executive, Ryan Duckett, said.”This isolated incident highlights the fact that sport is not exempt from the pandemic, and I’d like to thank the club’s medical and venue staff, as well as Public Health Derby and the ECB for their immediate response in safely handling the matter.”It is of course a great disappointment to see the abandonment of a fixture, but the safety of all players, staff and supporters must always come first and the club is grateful for the understanding of supporters.”While Derbyshire were already confirmed as finishing bottom of Group One of the Championship, defending champions Essex still held out hope of sneaking into the top two – and thereby qualifying for Division One in the next stage of the competition – but required a comprehensive win at Derby and other results to go their way.
Michael Hogan’s four-for not enough as Glamorgan let several winning positions slip
ECB Reporters Network28-Jul-2021
Ben Green led Somerset’s fightback•Harry Trump/Getty Images
New Somerset List A captain Ben Green produced a match-changing innings to lead his side to a thrilling one-run Royal London Cup win over Glamorgan at Taunton.The hosts crashed to 26 for 4 after losing the toss in a match eventually reduced to 37 overs per side by rain, Michael Hogan claiming all four of those wickets.But Green smacked 87 off 72 balls from No. 7, with 11 fours and a six, sharing a stand of 86 with Lewis Goldsworthy, who made 41, as Somerset posted a challenging 180 for 7.Glamorgan responded with 179 for 9, Billy Root and Tom Cullen both making 37, while young Somerset seamers Kasey Aldridge and Sonny Baker shared five of the wickets.Andy Gorvin needed a six off the last ball of the game from left-arm spinner Goldsworthy to win the game for Glamorgan and came close with a powerful four over the bowler’s head.Play did not start until 12.10pm, with the game initially reduced to 42 overs per side. Somerset’s innings had only occupied 2.4 of them, with five runs scored, when rain forced the players off.That was enough time for Hogan to strike twice, Sam Young caught behind off the fourth ball of the innings and Steven Davies brilliantly snapped up by Gorvin at midwicket from the first delivery of the third over.On the resumption, the veteran pace bowler took his figures to 3 for 3 by bowling George Bartlett between bat and pad and then had James Hildreth caught at first slip.Michael Hogan ripped through Somerset’s top order•Harry Trump/Getty Images
Somerset were in disarray at 49 for 5 when Eddie Byrom feathered a ball from offspinner Steven Reingold through to wicketkeeper Cullen.But Green and Goldsworthy calmly steadied the ship and had taken the total to 84 for 5 in the 26th over when heavier rain brought another stoppage at 2.10pm.Half an hour later, with a further reduction in overs, Green and Goldsworthy batted with far more intent. Green was the main aggressor, with Goldsworthy notching just one boundary in his valuable innings before slogging a catch to cow corner off Callum Taylor.Green, cut loose in the closing overs with some majestic shots until playing a ball from Lukas Carey onto his stumps in the final over. Glamorgan’s reply began badly when Hamish Rutherford fell lbw to the final ball of Jack Brooks’ opening over.Eighteen-year-old Baker then got a ball to lift at Nick Selman’s ribs, forcing the opener to loop up a catch to the diving Byrom, running in from square leg.Related

Aldridge produced a similar quick delivery, his first of the game, to have Kiran Carlson caught by wicketkeeper Davies for 21. And when Green also struck with his opening delivery, bowling Reingold for 16, Glamorgan were 52 for 4.Cullen and Root then put together a well-paced stand of 76 to put their team in sight of victory. It ended when Cullen was caught behind down the leg side off Aldridge, who followed up by having Joe Cooke taken by wicketkeeper Davies.Root fell to George Drissell, the former Gloucestershire offspinner making his Somerset debut, top-edging a slog-sweep with 38 still needed.Carey did his best with two boundaries, but other wickets fell cheaply and 10 off the final over for the last pair proved too much.
