Saint-Etienne beat Metz in Ligue 1 promotion/relegation play-off first leg
Irvin Cardona's late goal gave Saint-Etienne the advantage as they seek a return to the top flight after previously overcoming Rodez in the Ligue 2 play-off. Malian striker Ibrahim Sissoko had given the home side the lead midway through the first period before Ismael Traore headed top-flight Metz level on the stroke of half-time. "It's very good... both the result and the way we played," said Saint-Etienne coach Olivier Dall'Oglio.
Cardona pone la primera piedra
BeSoccer hace 11 minutos | Tiempo de lectura: minutos El Saint-Étienne tomó ventaja en la eliminatoria del 'play off' a la Ligue 1 tras vencer por un 2-1 ajustado al Metz. Todo apuntaba al empate, pero un maravilloso centro de Cafaro, una salida a por uvas de Oukidja y un fascinante remate de cabeza de Irvin Cardona pusieron en ventaja a los locales, que podría certificar su ascenso en la vuelta.
Un resbalón que puede costar un ascenso
BeSoccer hace 23 minutos | Tiempo de lectura: minutos En los minutos finales del primer tiempo, el Metz empató ante el Saint-Étienne en la ida de la final del 'play out' de la Ligue 1. Gautier Larsonneur, portero del equipo loca, se resbaló justo cuando Ismaël Traoré remató un córner y no pudo rechazar un balón que iba centrado y ante el que, como poco, podría haber hecho algo más.
El líder de los mortales de la Ligue 1 va muy en serio
BeSoccer hace 18 minutos | Tiempo de lectura: minutos El Brest venció al Metz (4-3) en un entretenidísimo partido que abrió la jornada dominical en Francia.

Black on campus: Am I aca-crazy?
There was nothing overwhelmingly negative about being the only Black person in my a cappella group. Like most social situations I’d encountered in Vancouver, it was annoyingly polite and devoid of tact from the other party e.g. they sometimes asked us to sing like “an African-American choir” during practice. I am not African-American, but as the only Black person, I was livid. But I thought I could ignore it.
Black on campus: Triple consciousness
i am a Black woman. my mantra is Black Excellence. i have hair growing from my scalp like flora, or a flower, a coiled and textured plant growing towards the sky. i buy different products: special. my hair’s so strong it breaks combs. my hair and i are of the Earth and that rich shade of brown that is Mother Nature. a melanated mixture of cocoa butter and coconut oil and i’ll sit in the sun as long as I please. but i am an African and this is my home only it is not.
Black on campus: A quintessential university experience
On my very first day on campus, I followed some people I had met on my floor to a party. We walked in a frenzy and waited in line and I laughed in excitement as we entered the room. I held my breath during all the hip hop songs — and there were a lot — because I was certain of what was coming once the rapper on the song slurred the deeply contentious ‘N-word.’ Of course, every non-Black person in the vicinity loudly and proudly recited the word in time with the beat.
Black on campus: To be a Black woman on campus
The lived experience of a Black woman at UBC is a unique one. It is one that is often misunderstood and forgotten by the wider community. My first year at UBC was one of learning and many surprises. I think back to one of the first parties I attended. As I made my way closer to the venue, I grew more and more excited to finally be diving into the university social scene. Mainstream hip-hop tunes blasted through the speakers, while masses of people jumped up and down around me.
Black on campus: Mixed feelings
I was born in the Dominican Republic, raised by historical soil and Caribbean sea. In my homeland, I was blanquita. White. There is no point denying that my skin tone is not what most expect from a Black person. Every time I would go to a hotel back home, they would ask me where I was from, as if my tongue didn't roll the words to the same beat as theirs. Up until 2016, I would go to the hair salon every week and blow-dry my hair until every single curl ceased to exist.

Black on campus: Don’t touch my hair
I grew up having my hair cut short. So short, in fact, that for a good portion of my life, I was called bald. According to my parents, having my hair long would have made it look messy and improper. When I got to UBC, I decided that I would grow my hair out because I had never gotten the opportunity before and long natural hair is becoming increasingly popular. I learned a lot about moisturizing, styling, picking — and it took me some time to figure it out, but I think I got a decent hairstyle down.
Black on campus: Dear humans
Dear Humans, I’ve got something to say, there are lots of issues in the world, but I’m here to address a specific one today. So many problems on this planet to face, but one of the worst ones of all is the problem of race. As a boy growing up my life was just fine, but something changed when I had turned 9. I told my mom I needed a skin colour crayon for school, but when she bought me a brown one I told her it wouldn’t do. I said I needed a tan one, because that’s what the teacher said in class.
Black on campus: In colour
It seems that all your life You've been punished for Your race, nationality and the colour of your skin All traits you never had control over But have been used to undermine the very being you are You see now how the world has been an unsafe place How you have learnt to bubble yourself in denial, In the perception that by getting through, things shall be better But what exactly are you getting through?
