Luis Malagón es el "1" del América. Se lo ganó a pulso y los números lo respaldan.
Proveniente del Necaxa, Malagón comenzó el Clausura 2023 comiendo banca. Sin embargo, luego de varias discretas actuaciones de Óscar Jiménez, Fernando Ortiz decidió darle una oportunidad como titular en la J11.
Y desde entonces, Las Águilas son un mejor equipo.
Napoli tenía todo listo para descorchar el champagne y celebrar sus primer título en la Serie A en 33 años, algo que de paso habría convertido en Hirving Lozano en el primer futbolista mexicano en ser campeón en Italia. Sin embargo, el Salernitana de otro azteca – San Memo Ochoa – metió la cola y les arruinó la fiesta.
Luego de la derrota 3-1 sufrida por Lazio ante Inter, Napoli necesitaba un triunfo en el Stadio Diego Armando Maradona para desatar los festejos.
The Portland Thorns and Angel City played the NWSL's game of the season on Saturday night at Providence Park — who says draws are boring?
The match had absolutely everything.
In the 10th-minute, 18-year-old phenom Alyssa Thompson gave Angel City the lead with a run that showcased her frightening pace before beating Portland keeper Bella Bixby at her near post.
We all have a reason to hate VAR: its stupid nano-sized offside lines, seeing penalties nobody else sees, the time it takes from the game to review plays — you name it. However, there are times when you wish the technology was around.
Or at least you entertain the idea after seeing how unfair life was with Spanish goalkeeper Manu García last weekend.
La temporada de Guillermo Ochoa en la Serie A ha sido excepcional. Tanto que sus actuaciones han hecho que los aficionados de la Salernitana crearon un nuevo apodo para alabar los milagros que obra bajo los tres palos.
Memo es un santo mexicano de Guadalajara en Salerno.
People in Spain are calling it the "promotion kiss."
The image? 28-year-old goalkeeper Alberto Lejárraga celebrating Marbella FC's title and promotion to Segunda RFEF (the Spanish fourth division) by embracing his boyfriend and smacking his lips for a very touching and iconic moment.
Lejárraga was not only happy for his club's success but also for coming out as gay, following in the footsteps of professional players like Australian Josh Cavallo and Czech Jakub Jankto.
American internationals Ethan Horvath and Zack Steffen went toe-to-toe on Monday night with Horvath's Luton Town welcoming Steffen's Middlesbrough to Kenilworth Road in the EFL Championship, and let's just say that Matt Turner's standing as USMNT No.1 feels safe.
The stakes weren't especially high with Burnley and Sheffield United headed for automatic promotion to the Premier League while Luton and Middlesbrough have clinched their spots in the four-team playoffs, but the encounter was a possible preview of "the richest game in football" (the playoff final at Wembley).
Manchester United lost to Sevilla 3-0 in the second leg of the Europa League quarterfinals on Thursday to crash out of the tournament with a 5-2 aggregate defeat. Harry Maguire and David de Gea both made horrendous errors that led to Sevilla goals during the game.
The least valuable player award (LVP) isn’t an official title given out, but nobody told Maguire and de Gea that. The two United players looked determined to win that prestigious award.
The United States men’s national team announced the 23-man roster for the inaugural Continental Clásico on Wednesday, April 19. The friendly doesn’t take place during an international window meaning the latest USMNT roster is comprised almost entirely of Major League Soccer players.
The 23-man roster only includes one player from a European club, Sergiño Dest. The American right back has essentially been banished from AC Milan’s starting lineup and the club OK’d the decision for him to leave the club to partake in the friendly.
Let’s take a look at the rest of the roster.
Sweden is only just emerging from winter's deathly grip with the 2023 Allsvenskan season beginning last weekend. Some players are evidently still working off the rust.
On Matchday 2, Häcken welcomed Hammarby to Gothenburg and stormed to a 3-1 victory with forward Bénie Traoré scoring a first-half hat trick.
Traoré, a 20-year-old who has represented the Ivory Coast's U-23 side, opened the scoring in the fifth-minute after a howler from Hammarby goalkeeper Oliver Dovin.
