Curaçao are not without star names themselves. Their captain Leandro Bacuna spent a decade in England, splitting his time between Aston Villa, Reading, Cardiff and Watford; his brother Juninho sandwiched a brief spell at Rangers with longer stints at Huddersfield and Birmingham. Defender Armando Obispo plays for Dutch champions PSV, while their attack consists of Jurgen Locadia, once of Brighton, and Sheffield United’s Tahith Chong.

Curaçao gaffer Dick Advocaat, formerly of Rangers, speaks to the BBC. “My family and myself had the best time in Scotland … the people are very kind … [today’s line-up] is the strongest side I can bring … it is important to see the way we play … we have a quite difficult group … the expectations are not that high … but without expectation you can still do something … most of my teams are well-organised … everyone knows what to do … I expect a good game from us.” rocore.sbs

• Live reaction: Slot leaves Anfield after two years

Liverpool have sacked Arne Slot after an end-of-season review into the club’s disappointing title defence. The Dutch coach guided Liverpool to a record-equalling 20th league title only last season, his first at the helm since replacing Jürgen Klopp, but a difficult season that culminated in a fifth-placed finish has prompted his exit.

Slot has departed with immediate effect. Andoni Iraola, who left Bournemouth at the end of this season, is among the frontrunners for the Anfield vacancy.

Police have released Sterling on bail while investigations continue. The 31-year-old, who has played 396 Premier League matches for clubs including Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Arsenal, signed with Dutch side Feyenoord in February.

Jovic absolutely obliterated her fellow American and the former world No 8 Emma Navarro in the previous round, and rediscovers some of that form under extreme pressure here, reeling off seven points on the spin to cancel out Osaka’s early break in the second set. The 18-year-old holds with her first aces of the match and nudges ahead for 6-7, 3-2.
