The USMNT vs. El Salvador match in the CONCACAF Nations League on Monday night yielded two moments of beauty: (1) Ricardo Pepi's filthy game-winner and (2) the Umbro away kits that La Selecta wore at Exploria Stadium.
The USMNT got the job done Monday night by beating El Salvador 1-0 at Exploria Stadium to advance to this summer's CONCACAF Nations League Finals in Las Vegas.
The Americans needed only a draw to make it happen, and everyone at home probably would've agreed to that after a scoreless opening 45 that was painful to watch. USMNT wordsmith Anthony Hudson called it "a little bit too transitiony." The highlight was La Selecta fans starting an "olé!" chant after stringing together a couple passes, only for a guy to pass it straight to Daryl Dike.
It's been a while since I last saw an injury on a soccer field that sent shivers right down my spine. However, the unfortunate elbow dislocation suffered by Peruvian player Irven Ávila ended the stretch.
If you don't want to see what happened to him, it's time to close this tab and keep living your life far from pain. Please, don't say I didn't warn you.
Just four minutes after scoring the first goal in Sporting Cristal's 2-1 win over Atlético Grau, life was not very kind for the 32-year-old veteran Ávila.
Parecía imposible. Por el nivel de juego y los salvajes rumores de peleas internas. Sin embargo, Atlas lo logró. Los rojinegros dieron vuelta un trágico 4-1 ante el Olimpia de Honduras en un 4-0 en el Jalisco que se unió a las remontadas históricas en la Liga de Campeones de la Concacaf.
Los Zorros fueron un vendaval y con un doblete del estratosférico Julián Quiñones, una conquista a los tumbos de Ozziel Herrera y un gol mágico, iluminado del capitán Aldo Rocha.
Los equipos mexicanos no son ajenos a grandes remontadas internacionales y si el Atlas quiere seguir soñando con el título de la Concacaf 2022-23, tendrá que unirse a la lista.
For MLS teams who are just beginning their domestic seasons, the Champions League can act as a distraction or a potential hurdle to not be taken out by. Injuries are to be avoided and as we saw last season when Seattle won the entire tournament, becoming the first team in league history to do so, they struggled to continue that form after reaching their continental pinnacle.
