The 49ers beat the Rams 27-7 in Melbourne on Thursday, the league's first regular-season game in Australia. [1] This paper printed Week 1 as already open. Friday has no NFL kickoff. A Thursday night in the United States is not a Friday slate. Print Melbourne as Thursday's. Do not invent a Friday game.

The Guardian filed Brock Purdy and a 100,021 crowd at the MCG. [1] ESPN filed the same 27-7. [2] Those numbers belong to Thursday. High-school Friday is not the NFL. Sunday owns the 13-game slate. Print no Friday kickoff.

Friday recap that treats Melbourne's Friday-morning local kick as a second NFL night is a feed, not the Guardian. Print 27-7 as Thursday's. Leave Sunday to Sunday.

Sunday owns the slate. Friday is not a second Melbourne.
