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.

Jurgen Klinsmann scored the only goal from the penalty spot to give Germany a 1-0 victory over the Netherlands in a disappointing friendly match in Rotterdam last night.

The Dutch had a chance to equalise in the 32nd minute but Dennis Bergkamp put his penalty too close to the German goalkeeper, Andreas Kopke.

Yugoslavia, playing their first competitive match for four and a half years because of the United Nations embargo, beat the Faroe Islands 3- 1 in a World Cup qualifier in Belgrade, with the Aston Villa striker Savo Milosevic scoring one of the goals and Milan's Dejan Savicevic the other.

A hat-trick by striker Viorel Moldovan in a 13-minute spell in the first half helped Romania to a 5-0 victory over Georgia, who are one of England's World Cup qualifying opponents.

The Leeds striker Phil Masinga opened the scoring for South Africa against Brazil in a friendly in Johannesburg and Doctor Khumalo added a second only for the world champions to come back with second-half goals from Flavio Conceicao, Rivaldo and Bebeto to win 3-2.
