Listen to the news:

Football - Heartbreak for Japan as they were knocked out of this year's Qatar World Cup 2022 3-1 on penalties by Croatia after taking their European opponents all the way to extra time in a game that had ended up 1-1.  Zlatko Dalic's side, beaten in the final by France four years ago, will face tournament favourites Brazil in the quarter finals on Friday after the South Americans put on a dazzling display in their 4-1 win against South Korea. South Korea coach Paulo Bento says he is leaving his role following his team's elimination.

Basketball - Nike has ended its sponsorship deal with Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving one month after he promoted a documentary which contained anti-Semitic material on social media. The sportswear giant initially suspended its contract with Irving, who later apologised. The 30-year-old missed eight games during his suspension from the NBA.

Rugby Union - South Africa's World Cup winner Sbu Nkosi, who was reported missing by his club side the Bulls, has been found "safe and sound". A statement by the Pretoria-based outfit said the 26-year-old winger was located just after 2pm local time yesterday. The Bulls had opened a missing person case with the police on 17 November, six days after the club last had contact with Nkosi.
