South America

Three days away from turning 41 and with over 20 years of a career, Roque Santa Cruz keeps scoring and did so by bagging the goal of the week, and maybe even month in Paraguay.

Santa Cruz Golazo vs. Sol de América

In a league clash against Sol de América with the score tied 1-1 in the 80th minute, Santa Cruz pulled off one of the best goals we’ve seen this month.

He left not one, not two, but three defenders and the keeper in the dust.

In the Argentinian first division, a match between Argentinos Juniors and Unión on Sunday gave us perhaps the funniest moment of the weekend.

The match ended in a 2-0 victory for Argentinos Juniors with a Gabriel Ávalos brace, but that wasn’t necessarily the highlight of the game.

Argentinos Juniors fan suggests sub and it works!

With 20 minutes left in the game, a conversation between Gabriel Milito (Argentinos Juniors manager) and a home fan in the stands decided what would be the next sub of the game.

Four players and a staff member of Club Atlético Aldovisi lost their cars after so-called team fans decided to set them on fire. According to press and police reports, the supporters' actions came following a new defeat by the squad that is trying to avoid relegation from the Argentinian First Division.

The match between Palmeiras and Atlético Mineiro in the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals on Wednesday night gave us one of the worst tackles we’ve seen in 2022.

After an entertaining first leg where they tied 2-2, the second leg promised more considering the stakes at play. But what we thought would be an interesting match began with a horrible red card.

Lionel Messi scored a sensational bicycle-kick goal as Paris St Germain began the defense of their Ligue 1 title with an emphatic 5-0 victory over Clermont at the Stade Gabriel Montpied on Saturday.

Messi netted a brace to go with goals from Neymar, Achraf Hakimi and Marquinhos as they followed up last weekend's 4-0 Trophée des Champions victory over Nantes with another easy win.

"I fell and I don't remember anything else. When I got up, I was dizzy and nauseous. Nothing like this has ever happened to me."

The quote belongs to Dalma Cortadi, an Argentinian referee who was brutally attacked by a male player on Sunday during a regional game between Deportivo Independencia and Deportivo Garmense in the city of Tres Arroyos.
