A Roman Yaremchuk Ukraine shirt celebration during Benfica’s 2-2 draw with Ajax in the Champions League caught the attention of fans on Wednesday. With Yaremchuk’s side trailing, the 26-year-old striker was able to bundle in a rebound in the 72nd minute to tie the game. He celebrated the goal appropriately.
What a game it has been at the Estadio da Luz!
Manchester United fans closely following this current campaign are well aware of young Anthony Elanga. The rest of Europe is now taking notice after the teenager salvaged a 1-1 draw against Atlético Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 on Wednesday.
United struggled for long portions of the match at the Wanda Metropolitano; Cristiano Ronaldo often had to drop deep into his own half just to get a touch of the ball. After an early goal from João Félix, it looked like a classic Diego Simeone victory over a British side.
Enter Anthony Elanga.
An Argentine player showed the world a new way to stop a counterattack during a Primera División game when he tore the shorts off his opponent. During a game between Barracas Central and Tigre, Juan Vázquez took matters (and the other player’s shorts) into his own hands.
With his team trailing 1-0, Vázquez couldn’t allow Tigre’s Ezequiel Fernández to escape on a counterattack. Here’s how he stopped him.
Portsmouth's seven-year stay in the Premier League in the 2000s was marked by frequent relegation run-ins and one glorious 07-08 season that included an eighth-place finish in the Premier League and a victory in the FA Cup final.
These days, Pompey toils in the top quadrant of League One, with promotion to the EFL Championship almost as elusive as a return to the top flight.
Jugando feo y todo, el León superó su primera valla en la Liga de Campeones de la Concacaf. La Fiera venció este martes al Guastatoya de Costa Rica por 1-0 y aseguró un global de 3-0 para meterse en los cuartos de final de la competencia.
Con el colchón que había dado la victoria por 0-2 en la ida, el técnico Ariel Holan mandó al campo una formación sin todas sus estrellas. Pese a esto, no hubo relajo y sobre los 10 minutos, León selló la clasificación con un bello gol de Elías Hernández.
Christian Pulisic and Chelsea earned a 2-0 victory vs. Lille on Tuesday in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 clash. Pulisic put on a show for the London club with his best performance of the season by far.
The USMNT star was given the start in his favored left wing position and made the most of it. It could be my American bias, but I got tingles every time he was on the ball. Pulisic’s darting runs and movement on the ball continuously left Lille players on the ground in his wake.
Juventus is an odd club at the moment. The Old Lady, owner of a record 36 Scudettos, isn’t the same side that won nine straight Serie A crowns from 2011-2020. Talent is there, but not everywhere.
El Tri Femenil volvió a golear en el Campeonato Concacaf W. Luego del 9-0 sobre Surinam, México este domingo le hizo ocho a Antigua y Barbuda jugando de visita en el Estadio Olímpico Felix Sánchez de República Dominicana.
Pese a la dominante performance, en el aire quedó la impresión de que el equipo estuvo lejos de mostrar su mejor cara.
New Zealand defender Meikayla Moore scored three goals — for the U.S. women's national team — and the Americans won in a bizarre manner, 5-0, in Carson, Calif., on Sunday in their second match of the SheBelieves Cup.
The Americans, who tied the Czech Republic 0-0 in their tourney opener on Thursday, got all the help they needed when Moore had own goals in the 5th, 6th and 36th minutes.
To my knowledge, there's been one hat-trick of own goals in football history (although even that's disputed). On Sunday, USWNT fans were witness to a second.
New Zealand's Meikayla Moore, who plays her club ball for Liverpool and was receiving her 50th cap on Sunday, put the ball into her own net three times in 36 minutes during the Football Ferns' SheBelieves Cup match against the USWNT.
