Bayern Munich suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Augsburg on Saturday, but the Bavarians nearly pulled out a late equalizer from a Manuel Neuer header. Only the goal-line save from the other keeper, Rafal Gikiewicz, kept Augsburg in front in the 95th minute.
Brice Samba or Odell Beckham Jr.? That is the question many Ligue 1 fans asked themselves after watching the RC Lens keeper during the club's most recent match.
Samba has never been short on skill, as he led Nottingham Forest to promotion through the EFL Championship Playoffs. Yet the club decided he was not Premier League material, instead sending him to Lens.
Last week, an American seldom known by even the most astute USMNT fans made his debut in the UEFA Champions League. Josh Cohen played all 90 minutes between the posts for Israeli side Maccabi Haifa during the club's 2-0 defeat to Benfica.
Newcastle United have signed goalkeeper Loris Karius on a short-term contract until January with an option to extend the deal until the end of the season, the Premier League club said on Monday.
The 29-year-old has been signed as a replacement for Karl Darlow, who is sidelined with an ankle injury.

Cohen's soccer career mirror's that of Turner's, and though he has not received the recent fanfare, Josh Cohen is more than deserving of American soccer fans' attention.
Goalkeeper Connor Maseko was sent off for urinating in a hedge during an English FA Cup first-round qualifying match on Saturday.
Maseko, playing for ninth-tier Blackfield & Langley, was shown a red card in the 76th minute of the goalless draw with Shepton Mallet.
After the ball went out for a goal kick, Maseko needed to use the toilet and decided to go up against a hedge. He was seen by Shepton Mallet players who drew the incident to the attention of the referee.
