May 2025 Sports Archive – Top Stories

Welcome to the May 2025 archive of Voice of Africa Daily’s sports coverage. In this month we focused on three big stories that caught fans’ attention across continents.

MLS Highlights: Giroud Saves LAFC

The most talked‑about match was the MLS showdown at Stade Saputo where CF Montréal and LAFC ended 2‑2. Olivier Giroud stepped up in the final minutes, slamming home a equaliser that kept LAFC unbeaten for eight games. The goal not only sealed a point but also sparked debates about Montreal’s defensive lapses. If you missed the live action, we broke down the tactics, key moments and what the draw means for both teams heading into their next fixtures.

Fans of the league loved the fast‑pace play and the way both coaches shuffled their line‑ups to create space. Our article gives you a quick recap so you can stay in the loop without watching the whole match again.

Other Major Updates

Across the pond, Celtic issued a stern warning ahead of their upcoming clash with St. Mirren. The club asked supporters to avoid large, unlicensed gatherings after last season’s crowd trouble. Police are on high alert, and the safety message was clear: enjoy the game responsibly or risk fines and bans. We covered what the police plan to do, how fans can help keep things safe, and why this matters for future Scottish fixtures.

Meanwhile, NBA drama unfolded when Steph Curry suffered a hamstring strain in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The injury forced him out of Game 2 and likely kept him off the court for at least a week. Our report detailed his rehab routine, what the Warriors expect from their bench, and how Curry’s absence could shift the series dynamics.

Each story was written with simple language so you can get the facts fast. Whether you follow soccer, basketball or just love keeping up with sports news, this archive gives you a clear snapshot of May 2025’s biggest moments.
