Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé both got on the scoresheet Saturday for Paris Saint-Germain as the Ligue 1 leaders defeated Nantes 4-2. Mbappé sealed the victory in the 92nd minute to give PSG a two-goal advantage and make himself the club’s all-time leading goal scorer.
At just 24 years old the Frenchman has scored 201 goals for PSG passing Edinson Cavani’s previous record.
Hirving Lozano and Napoli secured a massive 2-0 victory in the Champions League Round of 16 on Tuesday on the road against Eintracht Frankfurt. A sublime Chucky Lozano assist vs Frankfurt in the first half opened the scoring.
In the 40th minute Napoli struck on a counterattack to snatch their first goal. A burst of pace from Lozano, who was a menace to the Frankfurt defense for large portions of the game, got Napoli in scoring position.
Marta is already a soccer legend and built upon that status Thursday when she provided the game-winning assist for Brazil in their 1-0 win vs. Japan in the SheBelieves Cup.
The Brazilian forward will turn 37 when Brazil plays Canada on Sunday but is still producing pieces of magic on the field.
Thursday’s SheBelieves Cup game was Marta’s first time playing in 327 days. In March 2022 the Orlando Pride star tore her ACL during an NWSL Challenge Cup game vs. the North Carolina Courage.
La Selección Mexicana Femenil inició su participación en la Revelations Cup con un triunfo por 1-0 sobre su simil de Nigeria. El duelo fue apretado y se resolvió en los minutos finales gracias a un arranque de genialidad de una que sabe mucho con el balón en los pies, La Maga Lizbeth Ovalle.
Es cierto, los partidos se ganan con goles. Sin embargo, hay ocasiones en casi todo el mérito de una jugada que acaba en la red cae en el pase previo, la asistencia.
Real Madrid defeated Al-Hilal 5-3 in the Club World Cup final on Saturday to be crowned world champions. Madrid’s front three of Karim Benzema, Federico Valverde and Vinícius Jr. were at their best and scored all of Madrid’s goals.
Al-Hilal became the first club from Saudi Arabia to make the Club World Cup final and didn’t give Real Madrid an easy time. No club outside of Europe and South America has ever won the competition and that streak lives on.
Al-Hilal never led in the game but managed to keep things interesting for the 90 minutes.
A Lizbeth Ovalle no le dicen La Maga de manera gratuita. La extrema de Tigres es una de las jugadoras más talentosas de la Liga MX Femenil y la noche del sábado volvió a demostrarlo con un truco de primer nivel en el amistoso de gala que tuvieron las Amazonas ante el Bayern Munich.
Tan bueno que dejó sentada a su marcadora y le permitió crear la asistencia con que Tigres logró el gol de la victoria.
MADRID — Antoine Griezmann grabbed a goal and an assist as Atletico Madrid returned to winning ways with a 3-0 home victory over Real Valladolid in LaLiga on Saturday.
First-half goals from Griezmann, Alvaro Morata and Mario Hermoso earned fourth-placed Atletico just their second win in their last seven league games, while a fifth straight defeat for Valladolid leaves them one point above the relegation zone in 17th place.
Atletico are 10 points adrift of leaders Barcelona, who have two games in hand and next face Getafe on Sunday.
Alex Morgan was pulled from the starting XI prior to the USWNT’s friendly vs. New Zealand on Friday after experiencing tightness in her lower leg. Her injury meant that the captain’s armband was transferred to Rose Lavelle.
The 27-year-old put in quite the captain’s performance during the USWNT’s 5-0 victory vs. New Zealand scoring two goals, providing one assist and bossing the midfield.
Let’s skip straight to the good part and look at the sensational volley Lavelle scored in the 39th minute.
La Jornada 1 de la Liga MX es historia. O más o menos, considerando que los partidos el Mazatlán vs. León y el Atlas vs. Toluca quedaron en la columna de pendientes debido a motivos de fuerza mayor, siendo estos la detención de un capo narco que desató una ola de violencia en Sinaloa y la mala condición del campo en el Estadio Jalisco.
Yep. Solo en la Liga MX.
Por supuesto, hubo goles, polémicas y situaciones únicas en cada partido. Y aquí nos hacemos cargo de un momento especial en cada uno de los duelos jugados.
Por casi 80 minutos, la cabeza de los aficionados de Pumas giraba de manera descontrolada. Nauseabunda. El equipo comenzaba un nuevo torneo, con un nuevo técnico, pero los problemas en cancha parecía seguir torturando el juicio de cada simpatizante universitario.
Sin embargo, bastó un toque de magia de Dani Alves para que la narrativa cambiara y se prendiera la ilusión con un 2-1 sobre FC Juárez en modo remontada que agita corazones. Al menos hasta la Jornada 2. Porque así vive Pumas. Partido a partido.
