When Jarrod Bowen stepped up to take a penalty kick in the 45th minute of West Ham's match against Liverpool on Wednesday, he was already at a disadvantage. While the odds of converting a penalty are between 75 and 80 percent, just 58 percent of penalties faced by Liverpool keeper Alisson in the EPL had found the back of the net.

Messi y Lewandowski toman nota: Toluca vence al América con osote de Memo Ochoa

Memo Ochoa ha salvado el pellejo del América en incontables ocasiones. Sin embargo, en el partido de ida de las semifinales del Apertura 2022 ante Toluca, el arquero no vivió su mejor noche y un colosal error suyo hizo tambalear el sueño azulcrema de obtener el título 14 de su historia.

Para su fortuna, la victoria 2-1 de los Diablos si bien dolió, no derritió del todo las alas de las Águilas.

Alphonso Davies roasts a man while cooking up a delicious assist

If you're having trouble visualizing what Canada's Alphonso Davies is about to do to the old man legs of Belgium and Croatia in World Cup Group F, Wednesday's DFB-Pokal match between Bayern Munich and Augsburg offered the perfect illustration.

Augsburg took an early lead at its home ground but Bayern struck back through an Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting brace and one from Joshua Kimmich to go up 3-1 with 30 minutes still to play. A Dayot Upamecano own goal gave Augsburg hope at 3-2, but it's the hope that kills you.
