I went to the body, I was up, and it was the last kick. My check skimmed off, and his reverse hit.Muhammad had set the pace in a dramatic and keenly contested final, scoring with a three-point head kick in the first and edging back ahead early in the last after the Ivorian responded with a three-pointer of his own.The Briton led 6-4 going into the final moments when Cisse clawed back a single point then struck for the most incredible of finishes as the clock ticked down to zero.Muhammad admitted: Obviously, the emotions are very raw right now. Its tough to lose in the Olympic final, especially in the last second of a match I was winning.It does make it all the more painful. If I was losing throughout I would accept it, but I came very close to achieving my goal, and I am going to have to settle for second best today.The joy of Great Britains women was palpable as they won a first Olympic 4x100 metres medal since 1984.Four years ago Desiree Henry was helping to light the Olympic cauldron with other young, talented British athletes, while Dina Asher-Smith was carrying boxes of kit for the athletes lining up.Great Britain did not even a qualify a 4x100m team to compete at their home Games, but on Friday underlined the vast strides made since then by securing Rio 2016 bronze.Henry and Asher-Smith, along with Asha Philip and Daryll Neita broke the British record they set just last month, finishing third in 41.77 seconds to secure the countrys first womens 4x100m medal at the Olympics in 32 years.This means an awful lot because not only have we worked hard to get faster as individuals we have worked hard as a team, Asher-Smith said.To be able to come out here and deliver the goods when the pressure is on is absolutely incredible.

BARCELONA, Spain -- Carlos Vela scored one goal and set up another Saturday as Real Sociedad picked up where it left off last season by outclassing Getafe 2-0 with its exquisite flowing attack to inaugurate the Spanish league at Anoeta Stadium. The Mexico forward netted the first goal of the 2013-14 season from a pass by Gonzalo "Chori" Castro in the 42nd, and then assisted Haris Seferovic for the new signing to get a deserved goal in the 70th. Later, Ernesto Valverde began his second stint as the coach of Athletic Bilbao with a 2-1 win at Valladolid, while Valencia marked coach Miroslav Djukics first game in charge with a 1-0 victory over visiting Malaga. Sociedad showed no signs of the transition from former manager Philippe Montanier to promoted assistant Jagoba Arrasate as it maintained its passing style that last season earned it a playoff for the Champions League group phase beginning Tuesday at Lyon. "It was important to start off on the right foot," said Arrasate. "This reaffirms that this team knows how to compete. Without a doubt it gives us confidence. We know the game on Tuesday will be difficult but we are excited to play what will be a historic game for Real Sociedad." Seferovic was particularly active early on in San Sebastian, going close several times and passing for Castro to force goalkeeper Miguel Moya to push his rising shot onto the bar. Castro helped Sociedad convert its dominant possession into the opener when he used one touch to play Vela clear of the defence. Vela did the rest by coolly chipping the ball over the onrushing Moya to record the first goal of the season. Moments after Diego Castro had Getafes best scoring opportunity, Vela picked out Seferovics run and slipped the ball through for the Swiss to dink it over Moya from a tight angle and secure the three points. Valverde first coached Bilbao from 2003-05 and returned on a two-year contract after the Basque club didnt offer Marcelo Bielsa an extension following a disappointing second campaign under the Argentine last season. And while Bilbao still showed some frailties in defence, it was sound enough to hold off Valladolids late surge to give Valverde a bright second start. MMarkel Susaeta finished off a brilliant combination of one-touch passes from a corner kick to put Bilbao ahead in the 28th.dddddddddddd Bilbao worked the ball away from Valladolids area before new arrival Benat Etxebarria used a no-look pass to serve Susaeta inside the box for the forward to fire home. Patrick Ebert drilled in Valladolids equalizer three minutes later when Oscar Gonzalez spotted him arriving late to the area unmarked by the visiting defence. But Iker Muniain was quick to pounce and knock in a ball sent off the post by Valladolid defender Marc Valiente to restore Bilbaos lead for good five minutes after halftime. Ander Herrera nearly extended the advantage when he hit the goal frame in the 75th. Valverde said his side lacked pace in the first half but he was pleased with its performance, above all in being efficient in attack. "We came from a preseason where we created a lot of scoring chances but lacked the precision to finish them off," he said. "Today it was the opposite. We didnt have too many but scored twice. The first was a beautiful goal, by the way. I was convinced that we had players of sufficient quality up front not only to create chances but to convert them as well, and today we did that." After a dull 63 minutes at Mestalla Stadium, Ricardo Costa took what proved to be the winner for Valencia when Malaga goalkeeper Willy Caballero fumbled his attempt to catch a looping high ball, with the ball falling for the defender to stab in. While Djukic enjoyed his first win, Malagas Bernd Schuster saw his new team struggle to produce scoring opportunities. The former Barcelona and West Germany midfielder took over Malaga from Manuel Pellegrini this off-season and has received a squad depleted of its main players following the exit of Francisco "Isco" Alarcon and Jeremy Toulalan, among others. Barcelona opens its title defence on Sunday at home against Levante, while Real Madrid hosts Real Betis, Atletico Madrid visits Sevilla, and Granada is at Osasuna. On Monday, both the promoted Villarreal and Almeria face one another, while Elche-- the third newcomer to the topflight-- visits Rayo Vallecano, and Celta Vigo hosts Espanyol. ' ' '
