There’s something about simultaneous kickoffs on the final day of the season that makes for must-watch viewing. The Bundesliga season came to a close on Saturday with all nine matches kicking off at the same time. While the title was long ago clinched by Bayern Munich (as usual), there was drama around the European places and relegation zone on the final day.
Atlas derrotó de visita a Chivas y se quedó con el primer round de los cuartos de final del Apertura 2022. Los rojinegros – actuales campeones del fútbol mexicano – rescataron el valioso botín desde el Estadio Akron gracias a un doblete del canterano Jeremy Márquez y un buen par de tapadas del arquero colombiano Camilo Vargas, quien incluso no dudó en ofrecer sus partes nobles en sacrificio del trabajo colectivo.
Real Madrid smashed Levante 6-0 to confirm Levante’s relegation on Thursday. Vini Jr. had three goals and Luka Modrić had three assists. For me, the best play of the game was the Karim Benzema assist to Vini Jr. for the fifth, the Frenchman going full Gumby-legs to set up the Brazilian.
Federico Viñas apenas alcanzó a jugar 15 minutos en la visita del América al Puebla, en el duelo de ida de los cuartos de final del Clausura 2022. El delantero uruguayo debió salir de cambio luego de una terrible entrada del defensor camotero Juan Segovia, quien con los tachones arriba perforó los botines, las calcetas y parte del empeine de Viñas.
Oleksandr Pikhalyonok scored the winner as Ukraine beat Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-1 in a friendly on Wednesday in the national team's first game since the country was invaded by Russia.
The match at Borussia-Park was attended by over 20,000 spectators, with all proceeds going towards relief efforts in Ukraine. Players from both teams held up a "Stop War" banner before kick-off.
Weston McKennie and Juventus will finish the 2021-22 season without a trophy. Ivan Perišić made sure of it with two well-taken goals — one with each foot — in extra time as Inter Milan claimed the Coppa Italia 4-2 on Wednesday at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
In a wild, back-and-forth match that saw Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri shown a red card, Inter took full advantage of two penalty kicks and dominated extra time to claim its eighth Coppa Italia, trailing only Juventus (14) and Roma (9) for most all time.
Manchester City reopened its three-point lead over Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table Wednesday with a 5-1 away win over Wolves courtesy of Kevin De Bruyne's hat trick inside 24 minutes before the Belgian added a fourth on the hour mark. Raheem Sterling completed the scoring for City in the 84th.
In terms of minutes on the clock, De Bruyne's hat trick was the third earliest in PL history.
Earliest Premier League Hat Tricks
#1. Sadio Mané - 16 minutes | Southampton vs. Aston Villa, May 16, 2015
Christian Pulisic has started two Premier League games in a row for Chelsea and has picked up an assist and a goal. Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel had repeatedly snubbed Pulisic from the starting 11 for the past two months. Hopefully this Pulisic goal vs Leeds United on Wednesday will earn him a start in the FA Cup final against Liverpool on Saturday.
Pulisic’s goal was Chelsea’s second in a 3-0 victory on Wednesday.
Christian Pulisic doubles Chelsea's lead!
Chivas is through to the quarterfinals of the Liga MX Clausura playoffs after eliminating Pumas 4-1 on Sunday night in Guadalajara, marking the end of a miserable week for the visitors that included defeat to the Seattle Sounders in the Concacaf Champions League final.
Goles de último minuto y definiciones a penales han marcado los partidos de repechaje de la liguilla del Clausura 2022. Pasó en el Cruz Azul vs. Necaxa, en el Monterrey vs. Atlético de San Luis y no hubo excepción en el duelo entre Puebla y Mazatlán.
