Seven naturalised players in Malaysia's national football team have obtained a temporary reprieve from the Court of Arbitration for Sport, halting their 12-month suspension from all football-related activities, the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) said on Tuesday, Reuters reported. 

FIFA suspended the seven naturalised players for 12 months and fined FAM 350,000 Swiss francs ($439,257) in September last year after finding that doctored documentation had been used to allow the players to participate in an Asian Cup qualifier against Vietnam.

FAM then took the case to CAS after FIFA dismissed its appeal. FIFA said it would launch a formal probeinto the association's internal operations and would notify authorities in five countries of potential criminal proceedings, according to Reuters. 

The incidents that occurred during the African Cup of Nations final between Morocco and Senegal were "deplorable" and "painful", Senegal's Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko said on Monday, Reuters reported. 

His comments came ahead of possible sanctions by the Confederation of African Football against his national team after Senegal's players walked off the pitch in protest at a VAR-awarded penalty before returning to beat hosts Morocco 1‑0 after extra time.

A group of Senegalese fans clashed with Moroccan security as they tried to enter the pitch in protest following the penalty decision, according to Reuters. 

A group of armed attackers killed 11 people at a soccer field after a match in the Mexican city of Salamanca, the latest outburst of violence in Mexico's Guanajuato state, officials said late on Sunday, Reuters reported. 

Six people were still receiving medical attention for injuries, Guanajuato's state attorney general's office said in a statement on Sunday evening. The office promised a thorough investigation.

A motive for the attack was not immediately clear, Salamanca Mayor Cesar Prieto said in a video statement shared on Facebook, according to Reuters. 

Everton's Thierno Barry cancelled out James Justin’s opener for Leeds United to earn a point for the hosts in a lively 1-1 Premier League draw at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday, Reuters reported. 

Everton move up to 10th in the table with 33 points from 23 games, but will rue two more dropped points at home, while Leeds move six points clear of the relegation zone in 16th place.

Both teams hit the woodwork in a proverbial game of two halves as Leeds were on top in the opening period, before a change in system to three at the back saw Everton wrestle control and claim a deserved equaliser, according to Reuters.
