Highlights

İlkay Gündoğan's two-touch finish is worthy of a Premier League title

Manchester City took a massive step on its journey to a third straight Premier League title by beating relegation-threatened Everton 3-0 at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon.

City midfielder İlkay Gündoğan was man of the match after scoring a stunning opener in the 37th-minute before setting up Erling Haaland for a header just two minutes later. Then, six minutes into the second half, Gündoğan curled home a right-footed free kick beyond the despairing dive of Jordan Pickford to secure all three points for City.  

Mexico qualifies for Beach Soccer World Cup with stunning GK strike at the death

With only the two finalists qualifying for the 2023 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in Dubai, Saturday's two semifinals at the Concacaf Beach Soccer Championship in Nassau were do-or-die clashes pitting four-time champion Mexico against host nation the Bahamas while the United States played El Salvador in a rematch of the 2021 final (won by La Selecta).

Union Berlin player scores, pulls Spider-Man mask from pants and then fails to put it on correctly

Union Berlin grabbed three massive points on Saturday in their 4-2 victory vs. Freiburg as the Bundesliga underdogs look to secure a spot in the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history. Two goals from Sheraldo “Spider-Man” Becker helped get the job done.

In the 36th minute with Union Berlin leading 1-0, Becker doubled the lead by sneaking his shot through the goalkeeper’s legs. For his celebration he whipped out a Spider-Man mask from his pants and then struggled to put it on his head.

Patrick Bamford might have just doomed Leeds for relegation with penalty miss

LEEDS — Defender Rasmus Kristensen scored a late equalizer to give Leeds United a share of the points in a thrilling Premier League 2-2 draw with Newcastle United that saw Leeds miss one spot kick, concede two more and have a man sent off in stoppage time.

Leeds are still in the relegation zone but move up one spot to 18th on 31 points, one point behind Everton in 17th, while Newcastle remain third in the table on 66 points, three ahead of Manchester United and four ahead of Liverpool.

¿Se va a acabar el mundo? Lainez y Córdova resucitan para guiar el baile de Tigres sobre Toluca

Tigres está de vuelta. Quizás. O al menos lo estuvo en el duelo de ida de los cuartos de final del Clausura 2023, luego de vencer a Toluca por 4-1, en una jornada de alegría que hace mucho no se veía en El Volcán y que vio a Diego Lainez y Sebastián Córdova finalmente siendo las figuras que los aficionados felinos esperan.

Sí, Lainez y Córdova. No es una fantasía.

Cruzeiro player misses penalty, fights teammate to retake it and then misses again

It's not weird to see two teammates discussing who'll take a penalty despite coaches having a pecking order. However, it's not common to witness scenes like the one starring Cruzeiro players Bruno Rodrigues and Henrique Dourado that ended up with the taker missing from the spot not once, but twice on Wednesday night. 

América mete un ala en semifinales pero termina con dos cracks en el hospital

El sueño de la 14 comenzó con sabor medianamente dulce para el América. Las Águilas vencieron de visita al Atlético de San Luis por 3-1 y tienen un ala dentro de las semifinales del Clausura 2023.

¿Qué evitó que fuera una noche perfecta? La expulsión de Israel Reyes y que dos de sus estrellas, Álvaro Fidalgo y Henry Martín, terminaron en el hospital y son duda para el duelo de revancha.

Goles del América vs San Luis

América entró al Alfonso Lastras en modo jogo bonito.

Vini Jr vs. Kyle Walker is game recognize game; Grealish vs. Carvajal is pure hatred

After 90 minutes of thrilling action at the Bernabéu on Tuesday night, it sure would be nice if we could just immediately go to the Etihad and scratch the itch for more of Real Madrid vs. Manchester City. This is highly addictive stuff.

The first leg saw Vinícius Júnior and Kevin De Bruyne exchange thunderously rifled efforts for a 1-1 draw, while the rhythm of the match mirrored this give and take with the individual battles turning into a series of brutal punches followed by staggering counters. 

I think this CBS tweet is a pretty accurate summary of it all.
