Straight to the face! Women's soccer game turns into savage punching fest in Panama

A quarterfinal game in the Panamanian women's league is doing the rounds online after several players decided to stop kicking the ball to start a brutal fistfight with a couple of clean, straight punches to the face included.

The row started when Sporting San Miguelito defender Rebeca Espinosa sneakily kicked Stephany Toral from Plaza Amador. Toral didn't take the aggression well and, seeking revenge, responded with a destructive right hook into Espinosa's face.

But things didn't end there.

MADRID - Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema will leave Real Madrid as a free agent in the close season after 14 trophy-laden years, the LaLiga club said on Sunday, with the striker set to move to Saudi Arabian side Al Ittihad.

Ronaldo ends disappointing debut season in Saudi Arabia empty-handed

Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr could not resist the temptation to sign five-times Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo in January, but although the prolific Portuguese forward scored an impressive number of goals, they finished the season empty-handed.

Ronaldo's hopes of silverware ended on Saturday as Al-Ittihad clinched the league title for the first time since 2009 with one match to spare.

Opinion: Cristiano Ronaldo scored a game-winner for Al-Nassr — should we even care?

Cristiano Ronaldo scored the third goal for Al-Nassr on Tuesday to complete a two-goal comeback against third-place Al-Shabab and keep his side in the race for the Saudi Pro League title.

Ronaldo’s goal was solid as he nestled the ball into the side netting after he bodied an Al-Shabab defender who flew like a ragdoll onto the turf.

CR7 received high praise from the soccer-sphere for his goal.

Goalkeeper loses two teeth after jarring clash with opposing striker

Goalkeeper Nelson Espinoza will not have fond memories of the game his team Deportes Copiapó lost 4-1 against Universidad Católica in the Chilean First Division, not because of the defeat itself but the fact he had to abandon the game in an ambulance with two teeth missing.

Ouch!
