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.JOE ALLON continues to repay Brentford's faith. The former Chelsea striker, rescued from the Blues bench by the Bees, scored another goal for his new club in their 1-0 win at Cesena in the Anglo-Italian Cup yesterday.
Newcastle United fared less well in Italy, falling 3-0 at Bari, where only 2,000 - stil 1,550 more than at Cesena - bothered to turn up.
Isaias steered Benfica into the quarter-finals of the Uefa Cup with the first goal in their 2-0 win over Dynamo Moscow in Lisbon.
Isaias, who scored both Benfica goals in the 2-2 draw in the first leg, headed home Vitor Paneira's cross from close range in the 51st minute. Sergei Yuran added the second six minutes later.
Rui Costa dribbled towards the goal with Yuran in close attendance, before passing the ball to the Ukrainian, who whipped it passed the Dynamo goalkeeper to ensure the 4-2 aggregate win.
The first half saw many opportunities with Yuran and the Swede, Stefan Schwarz, often working well together, but the shots continually went wide. Some 50,000 fans watched the game.
