SANDY — The noise heard over Rio Tinto Stadium on the Fourth of July wasn't the crack of fireworks.

It was a packed house of Club America and Santos Laguna fans converging for a preseason friendly as part of America's "Tour Aguila" ahead of the 2021-22 Liga MX season.

And most of them went home happy Sunday night — at least, the Club America fans did.

Roger Martinez scored the only goal of the match in the 11th minute, and Las Aguilas held on for a 1-0 win over Liga MX rival Santos Laguna, kicking off the club's first match in Utah since 2017 Sunday night in Sandy.

The goal was celebrated with streamers and balloons by the wall of yellow-clad supporters behind the south goal — something RSL supporters have been unable to bring for several years for various safety reasons.

Santos was forced to 10 men in the 27th minute when Ronaldo Prieto was sent off with a second yellow card.

The winningest club in North American club soccer history, Club America boasts more than 40 titles, including 13 league trophies. They also boast a Utah-based youth academy, one approved by the Utah Youth Soccer Association , in the Club America Nido Aguila Soccer Academy in Layton.

Fresh off a Liga MX semifinals appearance, Santos Laguna was opening its own preseason in Salt Lake City for the first time since facing Club Tijuana (Xolos) in a friendly in 2016.

The match was marketed as a return to Utah by two clubs with local ties — and sizable fan bases in the Beehive State, including a longtime Santos supporter in state Sen. Luz Escamilla . The draw, which was co-sponsored by the Utah Sports Commission, also represented a chance to spread the word of COVID-19 vaccine efforts among the state's Latino and Spanish-speaking community, where vaccinations have historically lagged.

The friendly drew legions of fans from across the state, with several driving from the corners of Logan and St. George through Sunday to make it to Rio Tinto Stadium in time for the 7 p.m. kickoff — and even some international fans.

Club America continues the Tour Aguila on Wednesday with a match against Atlas at PayPal Park in San Jose, California. Las Aguilas will conclude the preseason tour July 10 against Tigres UANL in San Antonio.

José de Jesús Rodríguez wins Totalplay Championship at Atlas Country Club

José de Jesús Rodríguez earned his third straight win at Atlas Country Club at the Totalplay Championship. (PGA TOUR Americas)

Change Text Size

José de Jesús Rodríguez won the Totalplay Championship at Atlas Country Club this weekend. Rodríguez carded bogeys on No. 3 and No. 7 but responded with four birdies in the final eleven holes to stave off his final round playing partners Joey Vrzich and Derek Hitchner to secure victory at the second event of the inaugural PGA TOUR Americas season.

Rodríguez took the 54-hole lead after a 4-under 67 in the third round and carried that momentum into the final round. After a bogey on No. 7, Rodríguez made birdie on three of the next four holes to re-take possession of the lead. A par on the final hole secured the victory for Rodriguez and held off a late charge by runner-up Jesus Montenegro.

This is the seventh career PGA TOUR-sanctioned win for Rodríguez on Latin American soil and his third straight at Atlas Country Club. In addition to his win at the Totalplay Championship at Atlas Country Club, the Irapuato, Mexico, native won the Jalisco Open GDL on the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica circuit in 2022 and 2023. Rodriguez’s win last year in Guadalajara secured him status on PGA TOUR Americas, as he ended the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica season 23rd in the Totalplay Cup standings.

Rodríguez's history at Atlas Country Club dates back to 2010 when he shot a 62 in a Mexican Tour event to set the course record. With the win, Rodríguez is now a fully exempt member on PGA TOUR Americas for the remainder of the 2024 season.

Rodríguez is expected to be in the field at the 69th ECP Brazil Open, the third event of the Latin America Swing, which will be hosted at the Rio Olympic Golf Course from April 18-21 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Moscow International Business Center (Moscow City)

• Guide to Russia

What can you do at Moscow City?

• Dine in style: Moscow City is home to 100+ cafes and restaurants, including Europe’s highest restaurant and ice-cream shop
• See Moscow like never before: Ascend to one of Moscow City’s observation decks for an unparalleled panorama of Moscow
• Admire world-class architecture: Each of Moscow City’s skyscrapers has distinctive architecture and design
• Learn something new: Visit the Museum of High-Rise Architecture in Moscow or the Metro Museum

Moscow City is a multifunctional complex in the west of Moscow, which has come to represent the booming business of Russia’s capital. Its skyscrapers enrich Moscow’s skyline, contrasting the medieval cupolas and Stalinist high-rises. Visitors to Moscow City can enjoy entertainment high in the sky, as the complex is home not just to offices, but to restaurants, cinemas, viewing platforms, and museums.

History of Moscow City

Moscow City was first conceived in 1991 by honoured Soviet architect Boris Tkhor, who proposed to construct a business center in Moscow. It would be complete with gleaming skyscrapers rivalling those of New York and London, to reflect the new life and growing ambitions of post-Soviet Russia.

The chosen site was a stone quarry and disused industrial zone in western Moscow, in between the Third Ring Road and Moskva River. Initially, the territory was divided into 20 sections arranged in a horseshoe shape around a central zone. The skyscrapers would increase in height as they spiralled around the central section, with shorter structures built on the waterfront to give the taller buildings behind a view of the river. 

Architect Gennady Sirota, who contributed to iconic projects such as the Olympic Sports Complex on Prospekt Mira, was selected as the chief architect, and many other world-famous architects were attracted to Moscow to realise their visions in Moscow City.

What can you see and do at Moscow City?

Where Moscow’s cityscape was once dominated by Stalin’s Seven Sisters skyscrapers , this is no more. Moscow City is home to eight of Russia’s ten tallest buildings, six of which exceed 300 metres in height. More buildings are still under construction there today, including the One Tower (which will be Europe’s second-tallest building). Once completed, Moscow City will comprise more than 20 innovative structures.

Each of Moscow City’s skyscrapers was designed by its own architect, lending the cluster of skyscrapers a unique appearance. Aside from being a site of architectural wonder, Moscow City is a place for leisure and entertainment with over 100 cafes and restaurants, exhibition spaces, cinemas, viewing platforms, and more.

Federation Tower

• East Tower: 374m, 97 floors; West Tower: 243m, 63 floors
• Completed in 2017
• Architects: Sergey Tchoban and Peter Schweger

The East Federation Tower is the tallest building in Moscow, and the second-tallest building in Europe after the Lakhta Centre in St Petersburg. Visitors can enjoy a luxurious meal of seafood, truffles or steak at restaurant ‘Sixty’ on the 62nd floor of the West Tower, or visit Europe’s highest observation deck, ‘Panorama 360’, on the 89th floor of the East Tower.

The OKO Towers are also home to karaoke club ‘City Voice’.

• Architects : Mikhail Posokhin, Frank Williams, Gennady Sirota

Another multifunctional skyscraper, which was designed as the first truly ‘green’ building in Moscow. The Mercury Tower has a distinct geometric shape and copper-coloured glazing, and was the tallest building in Europe upon completion.

City of Capitals

• Moscow Tower: 302m, 76 floors; St Petersburg Tower: 257m, 65 floors
• Completed in 2009
• Architect: Bureau NBBJ

The unique geometric design of the City of Capitals towers resembles stacks of rotating blocks, and is rooted in Constructivism of the early Soviet period (many Soviet Constructivist buildings can be found in Moscow). Visitors to the Moscow Tower can enjoy a range of cuisines – traditional Italian dishes on the summer terrace of ‘Tutto Bene’, Panasian cuisine in the tropical luxury of the ‘Bamboo Bar’ on the 1st floor’, and poke or smoothie bowls at ‘Soul in the Bowl’ cafe on the 80th floor.

Evolution Tower

• Architects: Philip Nikandrov and RMJM Scotland Ltd

Evolution is Moscow City’s most recognisable tower, and the 11th tallest building in Russia. Its façade is a true architectural marvel, comprising continuous strips of curved glazing spiralling high into  the sky. According to the architect, Philip Nikandrov, the spiral shape of the tower honours centuries of architectural design in Russia, from the onion domes of St Basil's Cathedral to Vladimir Shukhov’s Tatlin Tower, a masterpiece of Constructivist design. Outside the Evolution tower is a landscaped terrace and pedestrian zone descending to the Presnenskaya Embankment, which was also designed by Nikandrov.

Did you know? Moscow’s largest wedding palace was supposed to be built on the site of the Evolution tower, though the project was abandoned.

• 239m tall, 60 floors
• Completed in 2011

Imperia’s interesting design has a curved roof and an arched glass façade.

’24 VIR Hoosier Super Tour: At A Glance

• March 28, 2024 10:00
• Road Racing , Super Tour
• Categories:
• Manage Content Notifications

The Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA® Super Tour is about to head to a track with plenty of history: VIRginia International Raceway. The 3.27-mile track in Alton, VA, crowned SCCA National Champions at the SCCA Runoffs® in 2019, ’22, and ’23, and is a popular layout for racers hoping to test their mettle in a variety of conditions.

Truth be known, VIR is popular beyond the SCCA. Through the years, the facility has hosted auto races of all types, rock festivals, and is one of the first tracks everyone drives on iRacing. Livestock loves it, too – for most of the 1980s and ’90s, it was home to literal cows.

But on April 5-7, 2024, none of that matters – only what is on the track in each of the eight race groups at the fifth stop on this year’s Hoosier Super Tour is what counts. And there’s no excuse for missing it, because even if you aren’t on site, there’s live video coverage available online for taking in all of qualifying and the races.

Spring Breakers

It’s spring break time, and there’s only one place a high school senior wants to be – VIR.

Ok, maybe that’s not true for everyone, but it is true for reigning Jim Fitzgerald Rookie of the Year Morgan Burkhard . The third-generation racer, pulling double duty this season in his Spec Racer Ford Gen3 at SCCA events and his TCR car in IMSA’s Michelin Pilot Challenge, will be back at VIR for the Super Tour weekend.

Burkhard has a pair of runner-up finishes in this season’s Super Tour – one at Sebring and one at Road Atlanta. The first of those came behind Brian Schofield, the second behind Bobby Sak – and Schofield, at least, is on the VIR entry list.

The 18-year-old earned his lone Super Tour win at VIR a year ago, along with the Tire Rack pole at the Runoffs, so it’s safe to say he’s got a shot at the win. We’re not betting against him.

Madness, Pride, and Frustration

The last Spec Miata race that was run at VIR was a mixture of disbelief and pure awesomeness as Nick Bruni and Preston Pardus crossed the stripe at the Runoffs in a dead heat to become the Club’s first co-National Champions . But only one of them is coming back for more at this year’s Super Tour.

Bruni is on the entry list, and while Pardus still reserves the right to show up, he’s been plenty busy. Less than two weeks ago at Circuit of the Americas, Pardus put his NASCAR Xfinity Series Chevrolet P10 in the practice. Unfortunately, he had an axle snap on the way out for qualifying that ended his weekend before it really got started.

It's a Lambo, Bro!

Michael McAleenan has quite the streak going in Hoosier Super Tour action – he’s won the five straight Super Tour GT-1 races that he’s entered in his Lamborghini Huracan GT3, with one at Sebring, followed by sweeps at NOLA and Road Atlanta.

It’s impressive for two reasons, the first being that the FIA GT-3 car, while wickedly quick in both speed and handling, is a likely underdog to SCCA’s GT-1 machinery. But the second reason might be the best of all: McAleenan is from Tacoma, WA – he traditionally races on the West Coast, but for the past two seasons has branched out from home with Scotty B. White and others to experience more racing.

Ironically, the one Super Tour that he’s missed this year has been the West Coast event at Buttonwillow Raceway Park.

Are these stories about what’s set to unfold on April 5-7, 2024, at the VIR Hoosier Super Tour intriguing? If you’re a driver or want to volunteer, there’s still time to join in.

Watch From Home

The entry list is packed with talent , meaning the Hoosier Super Tour weekend at VIR is one you won’t want to miss, but if you can’t make it to the track for the Hoosier Super Tour weekend at VIR, there are options. Like, for instance, you can catch all of the action at home, or anywhere you can find an internet connection.

Subscribe to SCCA’s YouTube channel and ring the bell icon for notifications, and when the free live stream for qualifying and the race are up, a notification will pop up.

You can also catch the action on SCCA.com and SCCA’s Road Racing Facebook page .

Don’t know when to tune in? For that, there’s the event schedule .

March 25 Moscow concert hall attack

By Antoinette Radford and Aditi Sangal , CNN

Putin says Moscow attack was carried out by "radical Islamists." But he also blames Ukraine

From CNN's Mariya Knight in Atlanta, Darya Tarasova and Sugam Pokharel in London

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday that the brutal attack at a Moscow concert hall on Friday was carried out by “radical Islamists.” 

“We know that the crime was committed by radical Islamists, whose ideology the Islamic world itself has been fighting for centuries,” Putin said.

He also again suggested that Ukraine was to blame for the attack.

“It is also necessary to answer the question why the terrorists tried to go to Ukraine after committing a crime, who was waiting for them there? It is clear that those who support the Kyiv regime do not want to be accomplices of terror and sponsors of terrorism, but there are really a lot of questions,” he said in a meeting via videoconference with government officials, special services and law enforcement agencies on measures taken after the terrorist attack, according to the Kremlin.

“We know by whose hands this atrocity was committed against Russia and its people, and we are interested in who the instigator is,” Putin said.

ISIS claimed responsibility for the massacre and released graphic footage showing the incident – but the Kremlin has alleged, without evidence, that the perpetrators planned to flee to Ukraine. Kyiv has vehemently denied involvement and called the Kremlin’s claims “absurd.”

Putin on Saturday also claimed that a “window” had been prepared for the attackers to escape to Ukraine. He did not provide evidence.

The post has been updated with more details from Putin's remarks.

US says that it warned Russia in early March of possible terror attack despite ambassador's denial

From CNN’s Michael Conte 

The US State Department said Monday that the United States had warned Russia in early March about a planned terrorist attack in Moscow “potentially targeting large gatherings, including concerts."

Spokesperson Matthew Miller was responding to a denial by the Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov that Moscow received any warning.

“We gave them that private warning consistent with our duty to warn ... when we see or when we gather intelligence of terrorist attacks or potential terrorist attacks,” Miller said at a press briefing. 

He noted the United States on March 7 warned US citizens to avoid large gatherings in Moscow.

Russian President Vladimir Putin had described the security warning as “provocative” and “outright blackmail” before the attack.

“It was because of that warning that we passed on to the Russian government that we issued a security warning on March 7, where we again said to US citizens that we had information about a planned terrorist attack in Moscow… potentially targeting large gatherings including concerts,” Miller added.

Russian social media channels show apparent torture of Crocus City suspects

From CNN’s Nathan Hodge

Video footage and still images have appeared on Russian social media that appear to show the violent interrogation of several of the men alleged to have taken part in the deadly terror attack on a concert hall outside Moscow Friday. 

One video appears to show one of the suspects, Saidakrami Rachabalizoda, being held on the ground while having part of his ear cut off by a camouflage-wearing interrogator. Rachabalizoda later appeared in court with a heavily bandaged ear. 

The Grey Zone, a pro-Kremlin Telegram channel, published a still photograph that claims to show the electrocution of one of the detained suspects.

Margarita Simonyan, the editor-in-chief of Russian state propaganda network RT, posted a video that appears to show the interrogation of another suspect, Shamsidin Fariduni, who is shown stammering and shaking as he is questioned by interrogators off camera. Fariduni subsequently appeared in court with a bruised face. 

CNN asked the Kremlin about the “visible signs of violence” committed against the suspects, but spokesperson Dmitry Peskov declined to comment.

From CNN's Tim Lister and Darya Tarasova

The Russian Investigative Committee says it has established that more people were involved in Friday's Crocus City terror attack beyond the four men alleged to have carried out the attack.

“According to the investigation, in order to commit a terrorist act, Shamsidin Fariduni recruited Aminchon Islomov into the organized group no later than January 2024, and Dilovar Islomov no later than March 11, 2024,” the Investigative Committee said on Telegram. 

The three individuals are two brothers and their father, Russian state media agency TASS said. Investigators are asking the Basmanny Court of Moscow to choose a preventive measure for the three defendants, the court told TASS.

“Three more materials were received regarding the accused Islomov Aminchon Isroilovich, Islomov Dilovar Isroilovich, as well as the suspect Islomov IsroilIbragimovich,” the court said, according to TASS. Fariduni was one of those detained in Bryansk Saturday. Both Aminchon and Dilovar Islomov appeared in Basmanny court in Moscow Monday. State news agency TASS said that Dilovar Islomov is a citizen of the Russian Federation and works as a taxi driver, citing court documents.

Russian state news agency RIA said Dilovar Islomov “owned the Renault car in which the terrorists fled the crime scene, sold it in February, and the compulsory motor liability insurance remained on him,” citing a source familiar with the situation.

Here's what to know about ISIS-K, the group linked to the Moscow concert hall terror attack

From CNN's Jessie Yeung

ISIS, also known as the Islamic State group, claimed responsibility for  Friday’s deadly assault  on a concert venue in Moscow, releasing graphic footage purporting to show its gunmen carrying out what was Russia’s worst terror attack in decades.

Here's what we know about the group:

When was it formed?: ISIS-K was formed in 2015 and has been active in  Afghanistan , Pakistan and Iran. It is a branch of ISIS, the terror group that emerged in Syria and Iraq and, at its peak, controlled a huge stretch of territory. Five years since the  fall of ISIS’ self-proclaimed caliphate  across Iraq and Syria, the group has morphed into a terror network with cells spread around the world, including in Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and Southeast Asia.

How is it linked to ISIS? The connection between the groups is not entirely clear. The affiliates share an ideology and tactics, but the depth of their relationship – such as the chain of command and control – has never been fully established.

What is its ideology?: Like its parent organization, ISIS-K aims to create a “pure Islamic state,” according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) – describing the group’s vision of a “global, transnational caliphate” governed by Sharia law.

Why attack Russia?: ISIS has a longstanding animosity against Russia and Putin, several experts told CNN. “Russia has been at the top or near the top of the list of ISIS for many years,” said Daniel Byman, director of Georgetown University’s security studies program.

Russians return to site of Moscow terror attack to offer condolences

From CNN's Matthew Chance and Katharina Krebs in Moscow

Four days after Friday's Moscow terror attack, some 200 people gathered at the site of the attack Monday morning, offering condolences to the victims, a CNN team in Moscow reports.

While the crowd was much smaller than the numbers who were at the Crocus City hall on Sunday, a steady flow of people were bringing flowers and stuffed toys to the scene, according to the CNN team. Candles were also laid next to the memorial.

A Russian Red Cross tent is set up at the location to provide psychological help. The CNN team said volunteers are helping people with directions on where to pick up belongings or cars left on Friday. The main entrance of the Crocus hall remains barricaded off, with police buses and emergency vehicles clearing rubble. Search operations are still ongoing.

The victims: Moscow's Department of Health published an updated list of those still hospitalized in the capital's medical institutions after the attack, consisting of 76 names.

At least 137 people died in the attack after gunmen opened fire on people inside the hall, and set fire to the building. Of them, at least three were children. President Vladimir Putin declared Sunday a day of national mourning, vowing to punish the perpetrators and expressing condolences to those who had lost loved ones.

Following the identification of the four men charged with carrying out the attack in Moscow on Friday as Tajik nationals, Tajikistan has reiterated its readiness to fight terrorism together with Russia.

The Russian state news agency TASS published video Monday showing Tajik Prime Minister Kokhir Rasulzoda writing a note in the book of condolences at the Russian embassy in Dushanbe.

It reported that a source in the Russian Foreign Ministry had confirmed that “Tajikistan specialists are providing assistance to investigators from Russia in connection with the arrest of citizens of the republic in the case of a terrorist attack.”

On Sunday, the Kremlin said that Russian President Vladimir Putin had spoken with his Tajik counterpart Emomali Rahmon, who had expressed “deep condolences and feelings of solidarity with the Russian people in connection with the death of civilians as a result of the vile terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall."

“During the conversation, Vladimir Putin and Emomali Rahmon noted that special services and relevant departments of Russia and Tajikistan are working closely in the field of countering terrorism, and this work will be intensified,” the Kremlin said.
