News articles
Hi. Glad you're interested in Wikinews. We publish articles on current events, after a rigorous peer-review process. There's lots of helpful guidance on creating articles here in the Howdy template, at the top of this user talk page. --Pi zero (talk) 15:59, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the friendly and fast greeting, Pi zero. I've acted on steps 1 through 3 of that template. Step 4 is to add specific facts. My goal is to see a compilation of specific facts. Step 5 is to ask for help. I want help assembling the facts about news stories that fit into this category.

As you see my goal is to compile current news reports on a particular subject. I don't have any news about the subject to publish myself. I simply want to find relevant articles on this subject. Gathered in one place, and updated through collaboration.

Is my project better for Wikipedia or some other Wiki site?

 * Do I understand correctly that you want to collaboratively maintain a list of news articles across the internet on a particular subject? I don't know of a place to do that.  The tricky part seems to be "collaborative" — specifically, finding others interested in collaborating with you on the project.  If you didn't care about others being able to edit the list, you could do it on a free blog service.  To allow collaboration, a wiki does seem appropriate, and you could inquire whether Wikiversity would be willing to host such a thing.  But to actually find others willing to help maintain the list — I don't know what to suggest on that.  I suspect if you started a list on Wikiversity, you'd probably remain the only person maintaining it.

 * Btw, please don't create opinions ("comments") pages for unpublished articles. The place to remark on the writing of an article is on its collaboration ("talk") page.  Also, from some of your remarks, you may be misunderstanding how Wikinews articles evolve.  While an author is writing an article, it has the develop tag on it; so it's unremarkable that, for example, the Texas rains article which is under development might not be currently in a valid state.  As long as an article hasn't been published yet, it isn't here to be viewed by the news-consuming public, it's here to try to get published; and once it is published, it pretty much can never be changed again, for all time — it's a snapshot of what was known at the moment of publication.  A Wikinews article isn't something that evolves until it's no longer useful and is then abandoned; it's trying to reach publishable state, fast, and then stop evolving, and it isn't considered "useful" until and unless it does get published.  Hope that helps.

 * Cheers. --Pi zero (talk) 02:03, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Barcelona footballer Éric Abidal to undergo liver transplant

March 16, 2012 defender will be taken into surgery for a liver transplant in the next few weeks, his club announced yesterday.

The football player, 32, had previously undertaken surgery to remove a tumour from his liver in March 2011. He recovered from the initial operation in time to win the with his club in May. In a statement, FC Barcelona cited ongoing medical concerns as reason for the player's admission. "Given the development of his medical condition, Abidal will undergo a liver transplant in the following weeks", the statement read. It added: "The transplant is an option that has been considered since the beginning of his treatment, one year ago. At the express wish of the player, the club request the utmost respect for the right to privacy."

His club did not estimate how long he will be out of action, and there is serious doubt as to whether or not Abidal will be fit in time to make the French side for the Championships, set to be held between June and July in Poland and Ukraine. Teammates posted messages at social networking site Twitter to convey their goodwill for the defender. Forward, who is currently out of action with a broken leg, said, "All my strength for Abidal! You will get through it. You are very strong. We will all be by your side." "You will return and you will do it like always, being the best", wrote central defender. "You are an example for everyone."

Abidal signed with Barcelona in 2007, leaving his old club Lyon. So far this season he has made 20 first-team appearances for the Spanish side; he has not played since injuring his hip in an international friendly against earlier this month.

After his recovery from his surgery in 2011, he said he "thought that [he] wouldn't play again", and told of how he sold all the cars he owned, donating the money to "the fight against illnesses with some associations that I have had contact with".

Heavy rains welcomed in Texas

March 17, 2012

Recent rainfall could signal the end of the worst drought on record for the state of Texas, according to media sources. A meteorologist with AccuWeather noted recently that the rains could help lessen drought conditions which have plagued the state for months.

On Thursday, portions of Kickapoo Creek and the Neches River near showed water levels several feet above their respective banks. A man who lives near Lake Palestine described last summer's drought conditions as "...unbelievable." He further stated, "[Lake Palestine] looked scary." When asked what he thought about recent rises to the lake's water levels, he told Wikinews, "It's nice." Over the recent weekend, portions of the eastern part of the state received 6–8 inches of rain, according to a representative with the National Weather Service.

Some parts of the state have already received double their average rainfall for the month of March.

A representative with the Regional Climate Center in, Texas told reporters that he anticipates seeing a "...slow but steady improvement" in drought conditions across much of the state. Certain farmers, though, have expressed concerns about the recent deluge of rain, and its potential to damage critical crops. However, cotton growers in the southern-most parts of the state have said even more rain is needed.

Thread:Comments:Sandra Fluke insists she will not be silenced/Comments from feedback form - "Sandra Fluke is undoubtedly a ..."

Sandra Fluke is undoubtedly a strong and intelligent woman. I am proud to have her speaking on behalf of all women. Women's health has always been a hot topic, and there will always be those who oppose it because of their religious beliefs. Those beliefs shouldn't keep Americans from having accessible health care. I am disgusted by the personal attacks on Sandra and I can't imagine how diffult this fight has been for her. Rush Limbaugh is an unprofessional sexist pig. I'm glad to see that his personal mud-slinging hasn't slackened Sandra's determination to be heard. Clearly he is living in another century if he thinks that name-calling will keep women in their place.

Wikinews:Briefs/March 17, 2012

March 18, 2012

We briefly recap some of the stories appearing on Wikinews this week from around the world.

Promo
Today on Wikinews: We briefly recap some of the stories appearing on Wikinews this week from around the world.

Today is Saturday, March 17, 2012. I am Chad Tew and this is Wikinews.

Students wounded at King Khaled University protest in Saudi Arabia (0:28)
Dozens of female students were injured in Saudi Arabia after police stormed a demonstration at King Khaled University. Up to one thousand students had protested corruption and discrimination.

University officials said security moved in after the students attacked staff and they used fire hoses on the demonstrators when university property was destroyed. Both students and parents wished to remain anonymous about their complaints.

Thirty professors, reportedly, have stepped down, and protesters are demanding the president's resignation.

Kenya government fires health worker strikers over failure to 'report back to work' (1:08)
The Kenyan government fired twenty-five thousand striking health workers, mostly nurses. A government spokesperson said workers failed to obey orders to resume work and that the government took action on behalf of patients.

The workers, who had been on strike for four days, wanted more pay, better working conditions, and benefits. The average monthly income for health workers there is around three hundred US dollars or about 225 Euros.

Three UK towns to be made cities following nationwide competition (1:42)
And the UK has three new cities after towns competed for the honor in celebration of Queen Elizabeth the Second's Diamond Jubilee.

Saint Asaph in North Wales was a city before it was demoted to town and it has now regained its former status making it the second smallest city in the UK.

A regional official said Perth owed its stature as a new city to its contribution to Scottish culture.

And Chelmsford in Essex boasted its role in communication for its promotion.

Sandra Fluke insists she will not be silenced (2:18)
Sandra Fluke [PRONOUNCED Fl-uhk] — a law student from Georgetown University who testified before the U-S Congress — said in a C-N-N editorial that she will not allow critics to silence her or other women on contraception.

Rush Limbaugh, the radio talk show host, had called (Fl-uhk) a "slut" and a "prostitute," but women and President Obama came to her defense.

And Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire said it was important not to silence women because the debate is about their personal health decisions.

Rocky Anderson announces he will seek Americans Elect nomination (2:54)
Rocky Anderson, the former mayor of Salt Lake City, Utah, says he is seeking the nomination for U.S. president from Americans Elect.

Anderson is already running as the nominee of the Justice Party. While the Justice Party will be on the ballot in Utah and in Mississippi, Americans Elect has qualified in eighteen states and it says it aims to compete in all fifty states.

Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton present 2012 International Women of Courage Awards (3:24)
US First Lady Michelle Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have presented the International Women of Courage Awards.

One winner this year was Safak (Pronounced SHA-Fahk) Pavey, who is the first disabled woman elected to the Turkish parliament.

Now in the award's fifth year, forty-six women from thirty-four nations have received the award.

Barcelona footballer Éric Abidal to undergo liver transplant (3:50)
Éric Abidal, a defender for both Futbol Club Barcelona and the French national team, is to undergo a liver transplant in the next few weeks.

The thirty-two year old athlete had previously undergone surgery to remove a tumor from his liver in March 2011. Team members have posted tweets on the social networking site Twitter in support of their teammate.

The club does not know when Abidal will be able to return.

1960's Rockabilly music artist Terry Teen dies aged 70 (4:24)
Terry Knutsen, who performed rockabilly music under the name Terry Teen during the 1960s, died after life support systems were removed. Knutsen was seriously injured when his bicycle collided with a tow truck outside of Tyler, Texas.

Fans may best remember Terry Teen for his novelty song "Curse of the Hearse". In later years, he performed as a clown and appeared in an episode of the television show In Living Color.

Encyclopaedia Britannica to stop publishing after 244 years (4:58)
And after almost two and a half centuries, Encyclopædia Britannica will no longer publish in print.

With less than one percent of its revenue coming from the print version, Britannica's president indicated there was not sufficient demand. The cost of the last set was close to 1400 US dollars, or a bit over 1000 Euros.

In the last eleven years demand has plummeted due to competition from Wikipedia and Britannica's own digital version.

Outro (5:33)
And those are the headlines for this week.

Talk:Heavy rains welcomed in Texas

Q: You live close to [Lake Palestine], don't you? A: "Oh year, right near it."
 * Interview on 3-15-2012 at 3:07pm with William Davidson, of Chandler, Texas:

Q: What's it looking like? A: "Oh, it's up. It's up alot after these rains. I'd say the lake has risen about 5 feet within the past 2 months. It's nice."

Q: Do you remember last summer? A: (Laughs) Yeah, yeah, last summer was unbelievable. The lake looked scary. It's slowly returning to normal."Bddpaux (talk) 02:59, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

The lake is much higher than it was last fall............the areas immediately adjacent to the bridge are totally submerged(unlike last Fall). The water at the boat launch is almost touching the small pier there............last summer, the water was about 300 yards from that pier.Bddpaux (talk) 02:59, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
 * My observations of Lake Palestine, northwestern-most section (bridge on Highway 315 just south of Chandler, Texas) on 3-15-2012 at 3:29pm:

very high water levels............dozens and dozens of people fishing.............water several feet over the banks of each.Bddpaux (talk) 02:59, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Observation of Kickapoo Creek (just west of Chandler, Texas) and the Neches river (just east of Chandler, Texas....near the mouth of Lake Palestine):

OK........
I think I got everything......a little bit of a chunkier OR interview probably would've helped.....I guess we were both short on words that day! Bddpaux (talk) 05:27, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Russian scholars call on Medvedev and Putin to defend Bhagavad Gita

March 17, 2012

Twenty leading Russian scholars urged Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister, President-elect Vladimir Putin to step in and take the ongoing trial in the  city of  under "personal control", saying it "discredits Russia's cultural and democratic credentials in the eyes of the civilized world".

Last December, the Tomsk court rejected state prosecutor's indictment of the , a commented translation of the ancient Hindu classic by the Hare Krishna founder, as an extremist text. However, in January the Tomsk prosecutor's office filed an appeal, arguing the commentaries incite "social hatred" and "violence against non-believers" and must be banned as "extremist". Tomsk region prosecutor publicly supported the appeal, saying that the proposed ban on the commentaries rather than on the Hindu text itself was justified, as "it's important to discern gems form the chatter in this very case". The appeal is scheduled for hearing on March 20.

In an open letter to the top Russian leaders, the group of eminent Russian scholars of philosophy, philology, and oriental studies strongly denounced the prosecutor's attempt to dismiss Bhaktivedanta Swami's commentaries as an extremist distortion of Bhagavad Gita itself, saying that these charges are "untrue and contrary to the traditions of Hinduism".

"The book does not contain any signs of extremism and does not incite hatred on ethnic, religious or any other grounds. On the contrary, the book written in the commentary tradition of Bengali Vaishnavism, one of the most popular branches of Hinduism, is considered sacred by a section of believers", the scholars emphasized, warning that the continued trial of the Hindu scripture in Russia is "driving a wedge in Russian-Indian relations." Similar concerns were voiced earlier at an all-Russian conference at  titled Bhagavad Gita in history and modern society, where scholars expressed perplexity at the prosecutor's move to declare a translation of the Hindu scripture extremist. Speaking at the conference,, chief researcher of the Indian Research Center at the Oriental Studies Institute of the , stressed that "Bhagavad Gita As It Is has the right to exist as any other commentary or scripture. It is a fundamental principle of Hinduism and there is no any other Hinduism".

The controversial court case on the Bhagavad Gita, an ancient text regarded sacred by millions of Hindus, had already caused political and societal turmoil in India, with the stalled over the proposed ban and Hindu activists burning Russian flags. The trial also evoked strong criticism from the Russian, Indian, and international media.

Wikinews talk:Briefs/March 17, 2012

This script is being prepared for a recording on Friday.Crtew (talk) 06:45, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Does anybody know how to pronounce the UK towns/cities? Crtew (talk) 06:49, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

How to handle this
We're running a bit of a three-legged race, I think; we really need to do some careful planning-ahead on how to make this work; it's something quite different from (to my knowledge) anything Wikinews has ever done, which is exciting(!) but presents significant logistical challenges. So it really isn't adequate to this task to create and submit something and then find out whether it's going to fit our infrastructure. I am myself only now really coming to grips with the nature of the logistical challenge. So I'll ramble on a bit here, trying to address a number of the facets of this multifaceted situation. Okay, some comments about this specific script, though these too can be generalized.
 * As I understand, this is a proposed script for audio news briefs spanning published articles over an entire week. An exciting idea, once we know how to make it work.  Note, however, that although I don't think we've ever done week-spanning briefs before, that isn't what makes it a radically new logistical challenge.
 * Here's the thing: The news briefs were a concept devised long, long before flaggedrevs (i.e., our enforced rigorous-review mechanism) — and crucially, afaics, they were never integrated into the review regime.  They appear to have remained an informal, purely in-house thing, unreviewed and therefore never pushed out to GNews and the like.  So what we're trying to do now is something altogether new.  Which is cool(!), but should also clarify why I'm talking about logistical challenge and planning ahead.
 * Although the briefs were not themselves reviewed, they appear to have been largely based on the text of published articles — either verbatim text of shorts, or shortened versions of full articles.
 * What appears to be called for in this, and presumably in other, for-publication audio (or even video) report situations —something we have essentially never done, that I know of— is a multi-stage review process, in which a script is submitted for certification by a reviewer, and once certified, is used to produce an audio/video report which undergoes a sanity check by a reviewer. The good news (no pun intended) is that both stages of this review are likely to be pretty darn easy, at least for the published-news-briefs concept. Why the first stage should be easy, I'll get to further below; the second stage should be easy because it's mostly-or-entirely just sanity-checking against the script to make sure nothing went really wrong during production.
 * We need to work out how best to work that two-stage thing. My guess is, the scripts will want some sort of staging-area outside mainspace.  The reason it wants to be outside mainspace is that if the review gadget is applied to a page in mainspace, with all five criteria passing, the reviewed page will be immediately pushed out to GNews etc., and we don't mean a script like this to be pushed out like that; we merely mean to clear it for progression to the production stage.
 * Another part of reckoning how it should work is designing the appropriate layout for the finished product. What springs to mind is something similar to what, e.g., NPR produces; headline and date at the top, followed centrally by the embedded audio/video, and then something clearly labeled "transcript" below that.
 * Stylistically, I believe, the sections of a briefs script should be headed with the linked titles of the published stories those sections read/summarize. Because those articles are already published, once linked they are available to us under our license, making review dead simple.  There's no call to list on the briefs script the sources from which our published articles were taken; and as for the previously published articles, come to think, it'd actually be copyvio to use material from our previously published articles without acknowledging it.
 * I haven't attempted to review the substance of the current script; the first step would be to track down which of our published articles each part is based on.

Having rambled on about generalities, I'll try to cobble together an actual review with specific recommendations on how to move forward on this specific undertaking (in the half hour or so left to me before lunch :-) --Pi zero (talk) 15:41, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I wonder about calling them "the top stories". Is that true in some technical sense, or can we easily modulate it a bit (e.g. the classic weasel-wording "some of the top stories")?
 * Unfortunately, I suspect you'll find we're especially understaffed today, which is awkward. I may not have nearly as much time to consult on this matter as I'd like; there are, for example, two articles that have been lying around aging on the review queue while I've been indulging in this fascinating exploration of the issues raised by this script.  (Note, just in case, because tone sometimes doesn't come through in pure text: I'm not being at all sarcastic when I say "fascinating".)

Suggested approach
This is taking each published article, and summarising it. That should be reviewable relatively quickly as the "source" is our own article. Admittedly, there may well need to be some changes to more appropriate language for recording.

So, if someone plans to make this a regular item, then scripting from articles can be carried out through the week up to recording. Those can then be checked off, recorded, and the whole lot pieced together once the final script is okayed and recorded. --Brian McNeil / talk 15:51, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Mm. As I've remarked above (ramblingly) and below (a bit more neatly), the unresolved issues are logistics of this two-stage review thing, and appropriate page layout for a published article whose primary content is really audio (or even video).  --Pi zero (talk) 16:46, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Remarks per section
As I go through section by section, I've now found a couple of significant things that need doing. I'll list sections here as I finish processing them. --Pi zero (talk) 23:10, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Students wounded at King Khaled University protest in Saudi Arabia
 * An additional sentence is needed (I realize this costs, in seconds) about the anonymous student/parent complaints, to make this a balanced representation of our article.

 * Kenya government fires health worker strikers over failure to 'report back to work'
 * Okay.

 * Three UK towns to be made cities following nationwide competition
 * Okay.

 * Sandra Fluke insists she will not be silenced
 * The last sentence (starting "In the editorial...") frankly needs to be replaced. Afaics it isn't even supported by our article (one would have to go back to sources of our article), and certainly isn't representative of our article.  I'd suggest replacing with a sentence from the latter part of the third part of the article (accusation of attempt to change topic and to silence).

 * Rocky Anderson announces he will seek Americans Elect nomination
 * Okay.

 * Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton present 2012 International Women of Courage Awards
 * Okay.

 * Barcelona footballer Éric Abidal to undergo liver transplant
 * Okay.

 * 1960's Rockabilly music artist Terry Teen dies aged 70
 * Okay.

 * Encyclopaedia Britannica to stop publishing after 244 years
 * Okay.

That's all the sections, and I tweaked the section headings/layout a bit. If we do something like this regularly, Brianmc is quite right that it ought to be built up incrementally all week, to distribute the script-clearance burden (even though it's relatively light). --Pi zero (talk) 00:45, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

upload
Here is the file:

Pi, I think we messed up here because I penned in the above changes into my old script, and I just noticed that the previous version (article) had changes in the actual script + what is above. Which means the old copy was recorded with the changes above. Argh! Sorry. I can rerecord it tomorrow Crtew (talk) 03:55, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm taking another look at the script now; I observe you undid some of my changes, and I'll consider your (implicit) points. Any changes I make I'll remark on here.  Then I'll listen to the audio file.  --Pi zero (talk) 13:21, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, maybe I'll listen to and compare the audio file before/as I go. (I just got up, some of my neurons hadn't switched on yet. :-) --Pi zero (talk) 13:23, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The date had to change, of course.
 * Students wounded at King Khaled University protest in Saudi Arabia
 * I'm distinguishing between detail and accuracy. I've no problem with reducing detail for a brief — although I do note, full audio versions of our articles generally work well because the inverted pyramid style is compatible with this aspect of the audio medium.
 * The sentence on anonymity loses its impact if it's grouped with the lede, so I've shifted it to its place in-sequence in the article; this allows it to serve its function in the article, imho, despite the complete lack of detail on what the anonymous complaints were.
 * Three UK towns to be made cities following nationwide competition
 * (Another point I consider accuracy rather than detail.)
 * I struggled yet again, as I had the first time, with Perth. There is no group that I could see, but I'd seen the first time that one wants the name of the place well up toward the start of the sentence for audio delivery — and one absolutely must avoid the possessive "Perth's", which one wouldn't hesitate to use in text.  I hope to have found a better solution this time.
 * Sandra Fluke insists she will not be silenced
 * Just a couple of tweaks (one of them doesn't even affect the audio — it's a typo :-).
 * Rocky Anderson announces he will seek Americans Elect nomination
 * "US" would be important orientation for international audience regardless of state, but I daresay Utah also isn't one of the top three international-name-recognition US states :-). (Also, Americans Elect doesn't get a "the" in front.)
 * Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton present 2012 International Women of Courage Awards
 * Their identity is key perspective on the nature of the award, which is given by the US State Department (it's not some award given by an international organization). That's vital to the story, not just a matter of clarifying who they are (a point I failed to consciously recognize and articulate the first time around).
 * The extra stuff about Pavey isn't in our article (whether it's true isn't the point, though I also don't know that having not been the reviewer on our article).
 * Barcelona footballer Éric Abidal to undergo liver transplant
 * WN:SG
 * 1960's Rockabilly music artist Terry Teen dies aged 70
 * I recall a source specifically noting the truck did not strike the bicycle, so we mustn't' say it did. The novelty song is described somewhere as being reminiscent of rockabilly, so it apparently isn't actually rockabilly.  But it does seem important to mention rockabilly since we're not reading the headline on the audio.
 * The other two or so sections not mentioned above, I don't think I made any edits to at all.
 * Took longer than I'd hoped, probably because I was writing this detailed commentary. I consider all this extra effort as a speculative start-up cost :-).  --Pi zero (talk) 15:06, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Recording
Ok, I'll re-record this version. Crtew (talk) 17:04, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Finished = Crtew (talk) 21:55, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * It sounds good. This medium makes it impossible to endlessly revise, at least while we're trying to get it out the door.

 * Now it's just a matter of laying out the article page. I imagine the audio file going on the left, just above the Transcript section.  I'm of two minds about whether the News briefs box is something that belongs on a published article — we don't do bylines, but this medium is a bit different...  --Pi zero (talk) 22:20, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Football: Both Manchester teams out of Europe as Bilbao and Sporting profit

March 18, 2012

They might be occupying first and second place in the back in England, but Manchester United and  were defeated following the second legs of their respective  ties.

Manchester United went into their game against seeking to overcome a 3–2 deficit dealt in the first leg; they were soundly defeated.

Bilbao began the game strongly, immediately pressing United and looking to attack whenever possible. The English side were the first to strike, with left midfielder 's early shot needing a block to stay out. saw his 14th minute shot strike a post, and miss the rebound, as Bilbao worked to break United's defence down.

The opener came on 23 minutes, with young Spaniard converting from 's lobbed through ball after completely fooling the United back four. The game ended early for Llorente, as he was forced off the pitch after an injury.

The Manchester side picked up their game in the second half; they were continually thwarted by the host's defences. Bilbao remained at their high tempo to prevent any sort of response, and soon full back knocked wide after an impressive run.

Bilbao's lead was doubled on 65 minutes as de Marcos converted from a floated cross by Iraola from the right, and the club never looked like slipping up throughout the rest of the game. , playing as a lone striker for United, finally gave his club's fans their money's worth with ten minutes left to play as he hit home from long range.

It was surely a humbling defeat for a team pushing to beat their city rivals to their domestic title, inflicted by seventh-placed Bilbao of. It means that for only the first time in ten years, Manchester United have failed to reach a cup final.

's had beaten Manchester City 1–0 at home, and only needed to consolidate that result in Manchester. The hosts put up a spirited fightback in the closing minutes; it was not enough to avoid elimination.

A slow first half from a full-strength City side meant they were easily contained by the visitors, and indeed Sporting were first to test the goalkeeper. 's header early on was a sign of things to come for City, and they opening the scoring on 33 minutes with a free kick taken directly by.

Just seven minutes later the Manchester team were beaten again, as set up a pinpoint cross allowing Dutchman  to tap in a close-range finish and make it 3–0 on aggregate.

Despite trailing by three, City looked far more determined in the first half. Their first goal of the two legs came after an hour, as Argentinian international finished off 's good pass from just inside the penalty box.

Agüero assisted in the second goal, in a way; after falling from a poor tackle by Sporting defender, the hosts were awarded a penalty kick. duly took the ball past to level the scores on the night.

Late substitute nodded a good corner from  towards Agüero, who was left completely open at the far post, who made no mistake with his finish to put Manchester City ahead with eight minutes left to play.

An action-packed eight minutes was topped off by City goalkeeper, who got his head onto a ball drifted from the host's corner but was denied by a good save from Patricio. Sporting struggled to withstand intense pressure, but held out to win the tie on the.
