Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

GOAL. MoAuba scores. 2-1 overall.

GOAL. MoAuba scores!! 3-1 overall!!

We're just 23' into the second leg of the final and MoAuba is truly dominant.

Andrew Griffin4 August 2019 18:36

MSDossary presses pause and heads into his settings in an attempt to change things up and pull things back. MoAuba isn't changing anything – he doesn't need to...

Andrew Griffin4 August 2019 18:36

MoAuba isn't sitting back here. He keeps attacking, keeps trying – could easily have some more goals.

Andrew Griffin4 August 2019 18:38

(A lot of people in the comments on the live stream are talking about Tekkz, the UK favourite and world number one who got eliminated in the group stages.)

Andrew Griffin4 August 2019 18:39

Half time in the second leg.

This is very much MoAuba's to lose. But he doesn't look like he's going to...

Andrew Griffin4 August 2019 18:40

MoAuba just almost scored another two absolute beauties. I'm sure there's more of them to come...

Andrew Griffin4 August 2019 18:42

65' in and MSDossari doesn't look like he's going to turn this around...

Andrew Griffin4 August 2019 18:43

Dossary is trying. There's a lot of opportunities here. But he just sin't taking them, and there's only 20 or so minutes left...

Andrew Griffin4 August 2019 18:44

We have a pause, as MSDossary tries to find something to give him the edge.
