Daryl Dike's header in the 97th minute lifted Orlando City SC to a thrilling 2-1 victory over D.C. United in a battle of Eastern Conference contenders on Saturday night at Exploria Stadium in Orlando, Fla.
Dike's header from the center of the box beat D.C. United keeper Bill Hamid into the top right corner on an assist from Chris Mueller following a corner kick. It was Dike's seventh goal of the campaign.
Chelsea momentarily sits at the top of the Premier League table after defeating Southampton 3-1 on Saturday. The victory wasn’t as straight forward as the final score suggests as the Blues found the go-ahead goal in the 84th minute.
Chelsea’s third goal was perhaps one of the most bat-shit crazy goals I’ve seen in a long time. FIFA 22 was just released, and this Ben Chilwell goal vs Southampton looks like it came right out a video game.
Zenit St. Petersburg sits in third place in Champions League Group H after Wednesday's 4-0 stomping of Swedish side Malmö, level on points with Chelsea. Zenit opened group play with a 1-0 defeat to the Blues, its first loss of the season, on Sep. 14.
Sergei Semak's team coasted to victory in its second UCL outing of the season, already up 2-0 when Malmö's Anel Ahmedhodžić was sent off for a handball after 53 minutes.
There are some things that will never get old, no matter how often they happen or how much you hate the team doing it. Two of those things are volleys off set pieces and Cristiano Ronaldo taking his shirt off to celebrate a goal. Both happened on Wednesday at Old Trafford.
It took him 263 minutes — a long drought by his lofty standards, a great goals per game ratio for everyone else — but Lionel Messi got his first goal for Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night against Manchester City in the Champions League.
El Sheriff Tiraspol tuvo una de las noches más mágicas de su historia, luego de sorprender al mundo y vencer al Real Madrid -¡de visita!- en la Champions League. La victoria además vino con elementos estéticos innegables y la carga emocional de un gol en el epílogo del partido.
Zurdazo de sobrepique directo a la escuadra y al ego de Florentino Pérez.

Las tribunas del Parque de los Príncipes explotaron hoy por primera vez ante el genio de Lionel Messi. Después de 100 minutos en Ligue 1 y 164 en Champions League, el jugador argentino finalmente dejó su magia en las redes, convirtiendo en la victoria por 2-0 sobre el Manchester City.
El debut goleador de Messi con el PSG ocurrió en el minuto 74 de juego y selló la victoria parisina. ¿La confección de la conquista? Lo más Messi que uno puede imaginar.
The experts gave FC Sheriff Tiraspol a 2 percent chance of winning at the Santiago Bernabéu against Real Madrid on Tuesday. The Moldovan club pulled off the most unlikely upset in Champions League history to win 2-1.
If you were to put $100 on Sheriff defeating Real Madrid, you would have won $2,800. The result is mindboggling, and it came in the most dramatic fashion with an 89th minute screamer from Luxembourg international Sebastien Thill.
It was billed as the most expensive football match in the world — the $1.10 billion squad value of PSG against the $1.16 billion of Manchester City. There was also the subplot of the most expensive transfer of the summer, City’s Jack Grealish at $135.5 million, versus PSG’s acquisitions of Lionel Messi, Georginio Wijnaldum, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Achraf Hakimi. All five started.
We have a Puskás Award contender from Ghana after Mizak Asante, age 15, split three defenders, left another on his backside, dribbled past the keeper in the tightest of spaces and roofed a finish over two defenders on the goal-line.
It's a slow burn that gets better and better as it goes.
Every great solo goal needs its Jérôme Boateng.
