DUESSELDORF, Germany (AP) — Xabi Alonso and his Bayer Leverkusen team have already secured top spot in the Bundesliga for the winter break. Now they need one more good result to take their record unbeaten run into the new year, too.Even Harry Kane — on the best scoring run ever for a new Bundesliga arrival — hasn’t been able to get Bayern Munich into its usual top spot going into the three-week break.

In fact, the performance had everything that was missing from Bayern’s 5-1 loss to the same opponent the week before. Nigerian striker Victor Boniface was again the star for Leverkusen. He finished with a goal and an assist, and the other goal was scored by Jeremie Frimpong on the rebound from Boniface’s shot.“It’s been good, a big credit to the coach, the staff, all the players,” Boniface said of Leverkusen’s season so far. “Everyone is giving 100% to achieve somethin...

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 02:21:21 GMT

WOODY CREEK, Colo. (KDVR) — The Houston family, who lives just outside of Aspen, are thankful their 5-year-old dog is still alive after surviving an attack by a pack of coyotes. "I’ve had Max since he was 8 weeks old and fit in the palm of my hand," Jillian Houston, Max's mom, said. What’s on Denver-area K-9’s Christmas wish lists? Jillian rescued Max, a Bali street dog, several years ago before moving back to the United States. Often she said he spends his evenings on the porch of their home sitting in his beloved tipi before bed. "He’s a little out of it cause he’s had to deal with his meds," Hart Houston, Max's dad, said Sunday. This past Monday though, the couple said a pack of four coyotes jumped the fence, came into their backyard and up onto their porch, and dragged Max out of his tipi. "I heard what sounded like a bunch of dogs, I opened the blinds and saw a bunch of coyotes flinging around what I thought was a dead animal at the time," Jillian said.Jillian said she screa...

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 02:21:21 GMT

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has tested positive for coronavirus, just days after EU leaders met in Brussels. “This is clearly not a surprise that I am happy about,” Scholz said Monday morning. “With few symptoms, I’m counting on a mild course and just working from my desk for now,” the German leader added. In Berlin, those suffering from COVID-19 do not have to isolate, but are urged to avoid contact with others. Scholz and other EU leaders attended the European Council summit last week, which paved the way for the historic decision to open accession talks with Ukraine. Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas — who also attended the summit — tested positive for coronavirus on Sunday. Kallas said it was “unfortunate news” as she was expecting to host Poland’s new Prime Minister Donald Tusk for his first foreign visit since he was sworn in last week.
