Después de conseguir sus primeros tres puntos la semana pasada en Perú, River tenía como objetivo revalidar lo hecho ante Universitario y acomodarse en la cima de la tabla de posiciones del Grupo B de la Copa Libertadores 2025. En un partido que tuvo chances de gol por todos lados, el Millonario intentó hasta el último minuto pero no pudo quebrar el cero.
Con este resultado, el Más Grande llegó a los cuatro puntos y comparte la punta del grupo con Barcelona, que también había ganado su primer partido por la mínima ante Independiente del Valle. De esta manera, sigue todo parejo y recién podrá haber un equipo que se corte solo a partir de la tercera fecha.
River empató sin goles ante Barcelona de Ecuador.

OLYMPIA, Wash. – The Washington State Senate has passed House Bill 1815, sparking debate over its impact on juvenile facilities.
The bill, which passed with a 27-21 vote, ends the ability to charge youth with “prison riot” offenses for minor altercations. This charge previously carried a Class B felony, potentially adding up to 10 years to a youth’s sentence and a fine of up to $20,000.
Supporters of the bill argue it’s necessary to correct unfair standards.
“Prison riot offenses shouldn’t be used on youth,” said Rep. Strom Peterson, the bill’s sponsor, said in a release. “I don’t believe that is in the best interest of the public or these kids. We need to be focused on rehabilitation and reintegration, both of which lower recidivism. Making these youth face more time in adult facilities only obstructs this effort.”
The Department of Children Youth and Families (DCYF) would handle riot behavior through its internal system. Additional charges for specific offenses, such as assault or arson, would still apply but opponents argue the bill compromises safety at juvenile facilities.
“This bill sends a very clear message that the inmates are more important than staff tasked to take care of them,” Sen. Leonard Christian, R-Spokane Valley testified April 8 before the State Senate. “I believe this bill needs more work. It should be voted no.”
The Senate made amendments to the bill, so it will return to the House for consideration. Once resolved, the legislation will be sent to the governor for review.
Su
Mudaerji (16-7, 3-4 UFC) vs. Mitch
Raposo (9-2, 0-1 UFC)
ODDS: Mudaerji (-185), Raposo (+154)
This should be an interesting matchup between two flawed flyweight
prospects. Raposo has had an odd career since getting tabbed as a
top prospect in 2021. He still has plenty of potential, but he has
spent the last few years proving he’s just short of being a
successful UFC-level flyweight, at least at the moment. A wrestler
by trade, Raposo got turned back on both “The Ultimate Fighter” and
Dana White’s Contender Series before earning his way to a
late-notice debut in 2024 after a few wins on the regional scene. A
look at those last few regional fights shows a fighter who has
built out a much more complete game, as Raposo now gets most of his
work done on the feet with a range-focused and patient striking
approach. He now seems to be disconnected from focusing on his
wrestling, and his UFC debut against Andre Lima
left him in somewhat the same spot he was as a pure wrestler,
needing a clear strength and power advantage to get the ball
rolling while getting frozen out of his best weapons against better
athletes. There are still signs for optimism, even if things have
been rougher than expected for Raposo. That loss to Lima now looks
a lot better with the unbeaten Brazilian’s subsequent success, and
Raposo is young and inexperienced enough that there figures to be a
point where things suddenly and completely click. An impressive
showing here would be nice, even as Mudaerji also attempts to
figure some things out.
The UFC’s first Tibetan fighter, Mudaerji didn’t pop as a prospect
when the UFC picked him up as part of a new wave of Chinese talent,
but he went on a surprising run against the lower levels of the UFC
roster, putting together a three-fight winning streak by leaning on
striking with his rangy frame. That hot streak came to an end in a
2022 “Fight of the Year” contender against Matt
Schnell, but while being part of such a scrap raised Mudaerji’s
profile, it didn’t result in much subsequent success. With the step
up against ranked competition, “The Tibetan Eagle” has seen his
effectiveness fall apart against opponents who don’t respect his
size or power. It’s unclear which side of that fence Raposo falls
on, as it’s easy to see him snapping back to his successful form
against someone as reedy as Mudaerji, or he could just fall back on
his recent game plan of trying to get things done from range—an
approach that seems tailor-made to handle his Tibetan opponent an
easy win. It might be out of hope, but the lean is that Raposo puts
his foot on the gas pedal a bit more than he did against Lima. The
pick is Raposo via decision.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed for the first time on Monday that Ukrainian troops have been active in Russia’s Belgorod region as they seek to protect Ukrainian towns near the border.
Ukrainian troops remain in parts of the neighbouring Russian region of Kursk eight months after a cross-border incursion, though Russian forces have recaptured much lost territory.
In his nightly video address, Zelensky said Ukraine’s top commander, Oleksandr Syrskyi, had presented a report “on the front line, our presence in the Kursk region and our presence in the Belgorod region.”
“We continue active operations in the enemy’s border areas and this is absolutely justified. The war must return to where it came from.
“Our main objective remains the same: to protect our land and our communities in the Sumy and Kharkiv regions from Russian occupiers.”
He later referred to operations in the area by Ukraine’s 225th Assault Regiment and congratulated the unit for its performance.
Zelensky repeated Kyiv’s long-held contention that despite Russia’s recapture of areas of Kursk in recent weeks, the operation was successful in that it drew Russian forces away from the war’s main front line in Ukraine’s Donetsk region.
“Due to the entire Kursk operation, we have managed to reduce pressure on other frontline sectors, particularly in Donetsk region,” he said.
The president last month referred obliquely to “certain steps” undertaken by Ukraine’s military in Russia “a little below the Kursk region,” implicitly suggesting a presence in Belgorod region.
Russian military bloggers had reported battles in Belgorod region between Russian and Ukrainian troops.
On Sunday, Russia said its troops had seized the village of Basivka in Ukraine’s northeastern Sumy region – opposite Kursk – and were battering Ukrainian forces in different settlements.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly suggested that Russian forces carve out a buffer zone along the border.
A Ukrainian military spokesperson issued a new denial on Monday that Basivka was in Russian hands.
There’s hope with the turn to Michael Penix Jr. this season, though he has only made three NFL starts and remains a question until proven otherwise, even with a good offensive structure around him. But it has been a frustrating offseason to this point, coming off the franchise’s seventh straight losing season in 2024. Atlanta released longtime favorite Grady Jarrett and hasn’t made much noise in free agency.
There’s also the elephant in the quarterback room: Kirk Cousins and his unwieldy salary remaining on the roster, with Penix the anointed starter. It was an awkward situation last season, and it remains so. Could a team such as Cleveland unburden Atlanta of Cousins? Sure, but that might not happen until after the draft, when Cousins — who has a no-trade clause — can see what opportunities exist. Until then, the Falcons are limited with cap space and flexibility.
That’s why the draft feels like a last hope to add talent before training camp. The Falcons enter with only five selections, two of which are in Round 7. They lack picks in Rounds 3, 5 and 6. Even their first-rounder comes in at No. 15, which doesn’t guarantee they’ll land a ready-made talent.
The biggest issues appear to be on defense (although OT can’t be ignored), and the Falcons risk falling even farther behind the Bucs in the NFC South. Raheem Morris might not be on the hot seat, but this will be a high-pressure draft for GM Terry Fontenot, his fifth in the captain’s chair in Atlanta. The Falcons have hit on some of their higher picks, but it’s been a bit of a mixed bag after that.
Barcelona SC aguantó y se llevó un importante punto en su visita a River Plate, por la fase de grupos de la Copa Libertadores.
El club guayaquileño sufrió en el estadio Monumental y fue acorralado por el equipo argentino. Los dirigidos por Marcelo Gallardo atacaron una y otra vez y merecieron más.
Pero, en el área ‘torera’, apareció la figura de José David Contreras. El arquero fue clave con sus numerosas atajadas e, incluso, atajó un penal a Sebastián Driussi cuando apenas se jugaban los primeros cinco minutos.
A pesar de las constante arremetidas del rival, el equipo ‘canario’ se mantuvo tranquilo y los defensas despejaron todos los balones y rechazaron todos los disparos.
Al final, no hubo goles en Buenos Aires y el conjunto dirigido por Segundo Castillo, quien deslumbró nuevamente con su look, un traje rosado, consiguió un punto de oro.
Con este resultado, Barcelona SC suma cuatro puntos y se mantiene líder de su grupo, con el mismo puntaje que River Plate. En la próxima fecha de Libertadores, el ‘Ídolo’ recibirá al Universitario de Fabián Bustos, el martes 22 de abril a las 21:00 en el estadio Banco Pichincha, en Guayaquil.

With the 2025 NFL draft just over two weeks away, I’m done with one-round mock drafts. It’s time to expand. My new set of predictions covers all 64 picks in the first two rounds, tackling big team needs and finding homes for top prospects.
You’ll notice some shake-ups since my last mock draft in March. Things could get interesting right off the bat, and I shuffled landing spots in the top five. Over the course of two rounds, there are a few risers and fallers, too, based on what I’ve heard in my discussions with NFL execs and coaches. And I have five quarterbacks getting picked, including two in the top 10.
Let’s dig into my predictions for the first 64 picks. And for more on these potential selections, check out the “SportsCenter Special” and listen to the “First Draft” podcast.

Nissan is struggling. Headlines documenting the Japanese automaker’s troubled outlook have been circulating for years now following ex-CEO Carlos Ghosn’s financial misconduct scandals. That may change soon, though, since Nissan Americas’ product planning boss told Automotive News Tuesday that it is working on a new EV platform that will support tariff-resistant U.S.-built crossovers, sedans, and maybe even a lightweight pickup truck.
Nissan has made its name in the modern automotive market by offering completely acceptable cars at good prices, often with discounts that make them great prices. After introducing the world’s first mass-produced electric vehicle, the humble little Nissan Leaf, in the early 2010s, Nissan hasn’t innovated much in the EV space.
Currently, Nissan’s battery electric vehicle portfolio consists of two models, the ancient Leaf, and the made-in-Japan Ariya electric crossover. The Nissan Leaf in its current form was introduced seven years ago in 2018, and fails to offer a compelling or segment-competitive EV package when range, and charging capacities are considered. The Ariya electric crossover is a sleek, modern EV that should be competitive, but it’s fighting against some mighty compelling market competition from the likes of Hyundai, Tesla, Kia, and Volkswagen. The new EVs currently under development may be Nissan’s ticket to a comeback. Nissan Americas’ product planning boss Ponz Pandikuthira told Automotive News,
“The platform’s versatility and Nissan’s factory capacity in the U.S. open the door to partnership opportunities with another OEM to lower manufacturing costs.”
Crossovers and pickups are smart choices for the U.S. market
Nissan
Nissan initially planned to first introduce a pair of new midsize electric sedans to replace Altima and Maxima, but thankfully realized those models wouldn’t sell well and turned its attention to crossovers. While enthusiasts prefer sedans and wagons to crossovers, the vast majority of the car buying public want the elevated seating position, security of all-wheel-drive, and spaciousness of crossovers, so this was a smart move. This platform may underpin both future Nissan and Infiniti products.
Nissan released teaser photos of some upcoming electric models that looked to include some cool products, but it says at least one of the upcoming electric crossovers should reach market by mid-2028 so there’s still some lead time there. Pandikuthira said the C-segment crossover is the ideal starting point, since it’s already a sector where the brand has strength, so the first models will likely be sized somewhere in between the current Rogue and the current Pathfinder.
Nissan is still considering an electric lifestyle pickup
Nissan
Though not greenlit yet, Nissan is reportedly assessing the viability of producing a new unibody electric pickup truck that is aimed at weekend adventurers rather than the traditional pickup truck crowd. A little outdoorsy electric pickup truck that’s smaller than a Rivian R1T would be mighty cute. It wouldn’t be a Frontier replacement, though; Nissan is reportedly planning a hybridized Frontier with a lower price point than a fully electric pickup that could reach market before 2030. The fully electric pickup wouldn’t likely make it to market until 2030, but Pandikuthira said:
“There’s a growing niche of people who want an adventure vehicle but are environmentally conscious and don’t want to take a V-8 off into the woods. Do you have 100,000 of those willing to buy a Nissan electric truck? Doubtful. But that segment could grow, and we are keeping an eye on that.”
The production of these future models is currently planned to occur at Nissan’s Canton, Mississippi factory, which will be a benefit if President Trump’s nonsensical tariffs last that long. Nissan is unsure of the future of its plans for electrified sedans, since it was planning to turn the Altima and Maxima into EVs, but now it’s reassessing and considering leaning on the Sentra to serve sedan buyers.
The Twin Cities brewery and music scenes have a lot in common, and this week that unfortunately includes shared shock and grief over the loss of Tom Berg.
The co-founder of one of Minneapolis’ most reputable breweries, Falling Knife, Berg died unexpectedly over the weekend. The cause of death is believed to be heart failure, the brewery’s representatives said. He was 46.
“We are devastated to lose our dear friend, the visionary architect of what Falling Knife brews,” northeast Minneapolis-based Falling Knife posted on its social media pages Monday. “There was nobody more passionate about Falling Knife, beer and his friends.”
In addition to his knack for piquing beer drinkers’ taste buds, Berg was also well-known for bringing out local music lovers’ ear plugs. He served as bassist and co-vocalist in the intense indie-rock power trio Self-Evident and was also a member of the instrumental prog-metal band Zebulon Pike.
After winning several awards as a home brewer and then making beer professionally at Wicked Wort Brewing Co. in Robbinsdale, Berg created Falling Knife in 2019 with partners Andy Rutledge and Dan Herman. The brewery quickly won awards and earned favor with many popular restaurants, bars and liquor store owners around the Twin Cities with its flagship brews, including Tomm’s Lager and Verbal Tip New England IPA.
On Monday, the brewery announced it would be closed to give staff the day off to mourn Berg. However, his partners pledged to carry on with his work there.
“We’re feeling a new purpose to honor Tom by keeping the company moving forward, like he would want us to,” said Herman, the brewery’s chief revenue officer.
Herman praised his late partner for having a unique understanding of recipe development, process and flavor “honed from years of home brewing, beer judging, and literally building breweries with Northland Mechanical.” Berg also served as board member of the Minnesota Craft Brewers Guild and “was always willing to help anyone in the industry with whatever they needed,” Herman said.
Powerful storms repeatedly struck parts of the South and Midwest late last week and over the weekend, killing dozens of people across multiple states and giving way to disastrous flooding in a number of regions. Some Kentucky cities and towns have seen inundation reach historic levels, as heavy rainfall caused major rivers to swell and spill over onto the land.
In Frankfort, the state’s capital city, flooding from the Kentucky River submerged vast areas. Photos show the extent of the damage, capturing vehicles, highways, homes and buildings either partially or completely under water.

The worst of Frankfort’s flooding seemed to be over by Tuesday, said Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear during a news conference in the capital, adding that the river had crested, which means water levels reached their highest point and were expected to slowly recede from then on.

“We hope by the end of tomorrow, most people will be able to get back in their homes,” Beshear said. According to the governor, emergency crews in Frankfort rescued two people by boat just this week, as severe weather temporarily cut off residents’ access to water. Water in the city had been restored by Tuesday, he said, but driving in the area still wasn’t safe.
While Kentucky River flooding has started to abate, water levels along the Ohio River, which runs through Louisville, have yet to reach their peak, and forecasters warned dangerous flooding could still be ahead for residents in and around Kentucky’s largest city.

The National Water Prediction Service, an office within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, has indicated that a portion of the Ohio River at McAlpine Upper, near downtown Louisville, may crest at around 37 feet on Wednesday. If that happens, it would rank among the worst flooding events in the area’s history, CBS News affiliate WLKY reported.
Close to 150 people have been rescued across Kentucky since these storms began, while 272 have been evacuated by boat as of Tuesday, Beshear said. At least five people statewide have died from weather-related incidents since last week, CBS News has confirmed. The dead include a 9-year-old boy swept away Friday on his way to school, and a 74-year-old whose body was discovered Saturday inside of a submerged vehicle, authorities said.
More have died outside of just Kentucky, and additional photos show flooding damages elsewhere in the Midwest. Unrelenting storms dumped rain and, in several instances, spawned tornadoes across a wide band of the United States, leaving trails of destruction in neighboring states like Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, Georgia and more.
At least 10 people were killed in Tennessee alone, according to the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency, which was also scrambling resources to deal with catastrophic flooding this week. Three were confirmed dead during storms in Missouri, two were killed in Arkansas and another two in Georgia. Mississippi and Indiana have so far confirmed one death each due to the storms.
