Test Your Monday Headlines Quiz Knowledge: Six New Questions

Sunday produced a full slate across three continents, and this Monday headlines quiz turns the best of it into six questions.

The Monday headlines quiz answers

One. The Monday headlines quiz answer is B. Kylian Mbappé scored both Real Madrid goals in the two goals to one win at Camp Nou, according to AFP reporting carried by The Business Standard. Mbappé struck in the forty-first minute and again in the eighty-seventh, either side of a Raphinha equaliser, and the brace took his Real Madrid tally to one hundred goals in all competitions since he joined the club in 2024. Mbappé told Real Madrid TV the milestone was "just a detail" next to the win, which moved Madrid to within three points of Barcelona at the top of La Liga.

Two. The Monday headlines quiz answer is B. Air New Zealand flight NZ165 from Auckland became the first international service to arrive at Western Sydney International Airport on Monday, according to Karryon. The airport, named for Nancy-Bird Walton, had opened to domestic passengers the day before, and the same aircraft turned around as flight NZ166 for the return leg to Auckland. The service runs three times a week and gives western Sydney a second Auckland gateway alongside Sydney Airport.

Three. The Monday headlines quiz answer is A. Banchero suffered a low-grade right high ankle sprain during the third quarter of Orlando's loss to Minnesota, according to Sports Illustrated, which cited ESPN's reporting that this diagnosis typically carries a timetable of four to six weeks. Banchero briefly returned to the game before sitting out the fourth quarter, finishing with fourteen points in a loss that dropped Orlando to zero wins and two defeats. The Magic announced the diagnosis on Saturday and said his status would be updated as appropriate.

Four. The Monday headlines quiz answer is A. Saudi Arabia plans to store crude oil at Singapore's Jurong Rock Caverns from the second half of 2027, according to Reuters. Singapore's energy minister announced the joint intent at Singapore International Energy Week, with Saudi Aramco due to sign a memorandum of understanding with Singapore's Energy Market Authority and the Jurong Town Corporation. The plan is aimed at strengthening regional supply security while Strait of Hormuz flows remain disrupted, and it gives Saudi Arabia a buffer closer to Asian refiners.

Five. The Monday headlines quiz answer is A. Christian Pulisic opened the scoring inside six minutes at Udinese, springing the offside trap from a quickly taken Luka Modric free kick, and Omari Hutchinson secured the win in the second half, according to Football Italia. Pulisic told DAZN Italia that his job when Modric has the ball is to run into space and be ready, and Hutchinson's goal was his first for Milan. The win moved Milan level with Roma on eighteen points, four behind the joint leaders.

Six. The Monday headlines quiz answer is A. An MRI revealed a mild left shoulder sprain for Flagg, according to NBC Sports. Flagg was hurt on Friday against Indiana when he fell after a foul by Aaron Nesmith, who was assessed a flagrant foul on the play, and the Mavericks ruled him out of Saturday's home game against San Antonio. The team said Flagg will be re-evaluated next week.

That is the Monday headlines quiz for October 26: a Clásico brace, a new airport's first international day, two NBA injury updates, an oil storage deal, and a Milan win built on an early goal. If this format worked, the Sunday headlines quiz and the Saturday headlines test are waiting, along with the PSG Barcelona quiz from earlier in the week.
