Inter Milan 1, Real Madrid 1 (Inter win on penalties)
Mauro Icardi drove the winner past diving goalkeeper Jesus Fdez in the fifth round of penalty kicks to lift Inter Milan past Real Madrid after they drew 1-1 on Saturday in an International Champions Cup match.
Icardi also converted a penalty kick in the 68th minute to equalise. Referee Ricardo Salazar awarded the penalty kick after Inter newcomer Nemanja Vidic went down in the box on a challenge by Sobrino.
“We played well today,” Inter manager Walter Mazzarri said. “We have young guys and we started a new cycle. Obviously, we’re not going to be happy just participating (in the tournament). We’re looking to obtain results.”
Gareth Bale scored for Real Madrid in the 10th minute, unleashing a strike into the top left corner of the net from about 25 yards out. The Welsh star also bounced a header off the crossbar less than three minutes into the match and nearly converted a direct free kick in the 30th minute
“He had a really good holiday. Forty days,” Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti said about Bale. “He’s fresh and he’s working really well. ... Everyone is sure that it will be better for him this year.”
A sellout crowd of 62,583 fans watched the testy match at Memorial Stadium on the University of California campus. The contest featured four bookings and a shoving match broke out after a hard challenge from Real Madrid’s Raul de Tomas in the 48th minute.
The eight-club International Champions Cup will continue at various stadiums throughout North America until August 4.
Bale only played the first half but starred on a day when virtually all of Real Madrid’s starting 11 were unavailable. Forwards Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, midfielder Luka Modric and defender Sergio Ramos – among others – did not play for the Champions League winners. Prized acquisitions James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos also were unavailable for Ancelotti.
Real Madrid controlled the pace for most of the game. Inter Milan made a late push after Ancelotti inserted second-half substitutes. Fdez had to make two tough saves on a quick flurry of shots in the 79th minute during Inter’s best chance to score a go-ahead goal.
New York Red Bulls 1, Arsenal 0
Bradley Wright-Phillips scored in the 32nd minute to help Major League Soccer’s New York Red Bulls beat Arsenal 1-0 on Saturday in the New York Cup.
Red Bulls captain Thierry Henry, Arsenal’s career goals leader, assisted on the goal in front of a sellout crowd of 25,219 at Red Bull Arena.
After Henry’s corner kick, Ibrahim Sekagya headed the ball back across the face of goal, and Wright-Phillips redirected it past goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.
In two other matches pitting Premier League sides against cross-Atlantic counterparts, Totteham Hotspur dismissed Chicago Fire 2-0 and Aston Villa edged Houston Dynamo 1-0.

Key findings of Jenkins report
- Founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al Banna, "accepted the political utility of violence"
- Views of key Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Sayyid Qutb, have “consistently been understood” as permitting “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” and “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
- Muslim Brotherhood at all levels has repeatedly defended Hamas attacks against Israel, including the use of suicide bombers and the killing of civilians.
- Laying out the report in the House of Commons, David Cameron told MPs: "The main findings of the review support the conclusion that membership of, association with, or influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be considered as a possible indicator of extremism."

Red flags
- Promises of high, fixed or 'guaranteed' returns.
- Unregulated structured products or complex investments often used to bypass traditional safeguards.
- Lack of clear information, vague language, no access to audited financials.
- Overseas companies targeting investors in other jurisdictions - this can make legal recovery difficult.
- Hard-selling tactics - creating urgency, offering 'exclusive' deals.

Dubai works towards better air quality by 2021
Dubai is on a mission to record good air quality for 90 per cent of the year – up from 86 per cent annually today – by 2021.
The municipality plans to have seven mobile air-monitoring stations by 2020 to capture more accurate data in hourly and daily trends of pollution.
These will be on the Palm Jumeirah, Al Qusais, Muhaisnah, Rashidiyah, Al Wasl, Al Quoz and Dubai Investment Park.
“It will allow real-time responding for emergency cases,” said Khaldoon Al Daraji, first environment safety officer at the municipality.
“We’re in a good position except for the cases that are out of our hands, such as sandstorms.
“Sandstorms are our main concern because the UAE is just a receiver.
“The hotspots are Iran, Saudi Arabia and southern Iraq, but we’re working hard with the region to reduce the cycle of sandstorm generation.”
Mr Al Daraji said monitoring as it stood covered 47 per cent of Dubai.
There are 12 fixed stations in the emirate, but Dubai also receives information from monitors belonging to other entities.
“There are 25 stations in total,” Mr Al Daraji said.
“We added new technology and equipment used for the first time for the detection of heavy metals.
“A hundred parameters can be detected but we want to expand it to make sure that the data captured can allow a baseline study in some areas to ensure they are well positioned.”
How to protect yourself when air quality drops
Install an air filter in your home.
Close your windows and turn on the AC.
Shower or bath after being outside.
Wear a face mask.
Stay indoors when conditions are particularly poor.
If driving, turn your engine off when stationary.
