With a 2-0 victory over Paraguay in Lima on Tuesday night, Peru clinched fifth place in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying and a spot in the inter-confederation playoffs, knocking out sixth-place Colombia and seventh-place Chile in the process. This marks the end of the road for a couple memorable generations of players for Los Cafeteros and La Roja.
Entre el Wordle del día y un sándwich de jamón y queso, el gol de mediocampo de Tepatitlán al Atlante fue lo mejor del desayuno dominical.
Sí, sí, el gol fue anoche, pero uno no puede ver todo en tiempo real.
La conquista vino al minuto 49, cuando el Tepatitlán ya ganaba por la mínima.
Christian Eriksen said he made his return to international football in the "perfect way" by scoring two minutes after coming on for Denmark on Saturday following a near-fatal heart attack last year.
Denmark lost 4-2 to the Netherlands in the international friendly, with Eriksen producing a stunning finish into the top corner in the 47th minute after he came on as a half-time substitute.
Gareth Bale's 2021-22 Real Madrid season was summed up by last Sunday's Clásico, when rumors of a surprise start in replace of the injured Karim Benzema led to nothing more than the Welshman missing out on the matchday squad entirely.
Bale's played a total of just 270 minutes in five appearances across all competitions, including only 77 minutes this calendar year, and his only goal of the campaign came way back in August.
But as we all know, Bale's an entirely different animal when representing his national team: Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order.
There are very few keepers that've ever managed to score a last-minute goal for their side to advance in a cup competition, and the majority of such instances are usually without any proof — they're legendary tales of long-forgotten matches played out across rec-league pitches and inside futsal courts that are passed down through oral tradition.
América ganó y es noticia. Las Águilas lograron su segunda victoria tras 11 jornadas en el Clausura 2022, luego de vencer al Toluca por 3-0.
Casi tan increíble como el triunfo en sí – el primero bajo las órdenes del entrenador interino Fernando Ortiz – fue la forma. De hecho, el trece veces campeón apenas necesitó 18 minutos para destrozar a los Diablos Rojos.
La goleada comenzó con una gota de polémica: el colombiano Roger Martínez recibió un pase de Richard Sánchez en fuera de lugar para vencer a Gustavo Gutiérrez y marcar el primero.
It's difficult to remember Real Madrid ever looking as clueless and toothless as it did in Sunday night's El Clásico at the Santiago Bernabéu. Maybe, with the league pretty much won, the remontada against PSG still fresh in the mind and Karim Benzema out, Real thought there was no such thing as a bad result.
Well, a 4-0 defeat to Barcelona in which Xavi's side could've scored seven or eight while dominating every facet of the game constituted a horrendous evening for Carlo Ancelotti's team.
Con el aporte goleador de los franceses André-Pierre Gignac y Florian Thauvin, Tigres se quedó con la versión número 127 del clásico regiomontano.
Monterrey había renacido en las semanas anteriores con la llegada al banco de Víctor Manuel Vucetich. Rayados, de hecho, llevaba tres victorias consecutivas desde el arribo del Rey Midas. Ante su archinemigo, sin embargo, no pudo hacer mucho. Tigres es una máquina aceitadita y para muchos es el candidato número uno al título en el Clausura 2022.
It was one of the longest halves in Jesse Marsch’s career, both literally and figuratively. The new Leeds United coach had to replace three of his starters with first-half injuries and in the 11th minute of added time Wolverhampton scored a second goal that seemingly consigned the American to a third defeat in four matches since taking the job.
It’s a big weekend in men’s soccer. Like, really big. But you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you aren’t also paying attention to women’s soccer this weekend.
