How do I find a tag using BeautifulSoup?

I am trying to scrape a German Billiard League website for results, to tabulate and submit to a rating system that requires a certain format. I am no python expert, but I have muddled through how to pull a complete list of links from the root League page, and to get Date, Home/Visitor teams, and now I am trying to capture individual match data.

Here is the relevant HTML:

<tr>
<td colspan="3" nowrap="" rowspan="2" width="100"><b>
                                Spiel 2<br/>8-Ball                      </b>
</td>
<td class="home up" colspan="6" valign="top">Christian Fachinger</td>
<td class="visitor up" colspan="7" valign="top">Michael Schneider</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="home down" colspan="6" valign="top">7</td>
<td class="visitor down" colspan="7" valign="top">4</td>

Site: https://hbu.billardarea.de/cms_leagues/matchday/344947

I am trying to find the "td" tag that contains the text string "Spiel 2". I should then be able to pull the game - "8-ball", and then move on to figuring out how to capture the data inside the relevant "class" tags. For the life of me, I cannot get a result back. I have tried many permutations of various soup commands, but either get a "None", or "[]". I "think" it might have something to do with the extra spaces, but have tried various regex-centric commands, but have not been able to "select" this td tag to do further data gathering.

What am I doing wrong? I know I am not coding this in the most efficient manner, and this is the first time I have tried to write a web scraper, and in general, am a python newb.

        home = home.partition(":")[2]
        visitor = day_links_parse.find(attrs={"class": "visitor"}).text
        visitor = visitor.partition(":")[2]

            date = item.next_sibling.next_sibling.text
            date = date.partition(" ")[0]
            date = date.split(".")
            date = date[1] + "\\" + date[0] + "\\" + date[2]
        for item in league:
            league = item.next_sibling.next_sibling.text
            league = league.partition(" ")[0]

        print(date, ",", league, ",", home, " (H) vs ", visitor, "(V)", sep='')

Prop `className` did not match in next js app

I have written a sample code ( Github Link here ). this is a simple next js app, but giving me error when I refresh the page. This seems to be the common problem and I tried the fix provided in the internet but does not seem to fix my issue. The error is Warning: Prop className did not match. Server: "MuiBox-root MuiBox-root-1" Client: "MuiBox-root MuiBox-root-2". Did changes for _document.js, modified _app.js as mentioned in official website and solutions in stackoverflow. but nothing seems to work. Could someone take a look and help me whats wrong with the code? Via Active questions tagged javascript - Stack Overflow https://ift.tt/2FdjaAW
