A hat-trick from Mason Mount propelled Chelsea to a 7-0 win over bottom side Norwich City in the Premier League on Saturday, extending their lead at the top of the table and demonstrating they still had firepower despite injuries to their strikers.
If the USWNT’s two October friendlies were supposed to be feel-good send-offs for Carli Lloyd, no one told Yoon Young-Guel and South Korea.
Yoon made eight saves to earn a 0-0 draw against the U.S., ending the USWNT’s 22-game home winning streak on Thursday at Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kansas. The last time the U.S. failed to win on home soil was Oct. 6, 2019, a 1-1 draw to this same South Korea side, a match that ended the USWNT’s 17-game winning streak that included winning the 2019 Women’s World Cup.
Fort Worth native Bryan Reynolds made his first career start for AS Roma on Thursday. It wasn’t a match to remember.
Reynolds, a right back who moved to Italy from FC Dallas over the summer, was part of the worst defensive performance in José Mourinho’s 1,008-match career in a stunning 6-1 defeat to Bodø/Glimt in the Europa Conference League. Never before had Mourinho, a man often accused of playing boring, defensive football, allowed six goals in a match.
Diego Lainez vive. El hábil mediocampista mexicano jugó hoy sus primeros minutos de la temporada 2021-22, en el duelo entre el Real Betis y el Bayer Leverkusen, válido por la Europa League.
La última vez que Lainez había estado dentro de un campo de juego fue en la definición del bronce de los Juegos Olímpicos de Tokio. En ese partido recibió un golpe en el tobillo que lo tuvo todo este tiempo fuera. Con el Betis, en tanto, no jugaba desde el 24 de mayo, hace casi cinco meses.
Hernán Cristante tiene un largo historial de expulsiones en la Liga MX y ayer sumó una más a su colección durante el duelo de Toluca vs Necaxa.
La mayoría de las rojas que recibió Cristante en su carrera fueron por acaloradas discusiones con árbitros, las cuales incluso lo llevaron hace un par de años a un tratamiento sicológico para controlar la euforia. Ante los Rayos, sin embargo, el entrenador choricero fue enviado a las regaderas por una causa completamente diferente: una patada al jugador hidrocálido, Luis Arcadio García.
Luka Stojanović drove home the tie-breaking goal in the third minute of stoppage time, and the visiting Chicago Fire stunned reeling FC Cincinnati with a 4-3 victory on Wednesday night.
Just two minutes after Cincinnati's Tyler Blackett clipped in a cross amid traffic to tie the match at 3-3, Stojanović drilled a laser from outside of the top of the box that just cleared the arm of leaping FCC goalkeeper Przemysław Tytoń. It's just the second road victory of the season for Chicago (8-16-7, 31 points), which like Cincinnati, has already been eliminated from playoff contention.
Ole Gunnar Solksjaer sobrevive un día más como entrenador del Manchester United, luego de la espectacular remontada del equipo inglés sobre Atalanta en la Champions League. Los Diablos Rojos se quedaron con el triunfo luego de ir cayendo 0-2, con un gol salvador de no otro que Cristiano Ronaldo y en un partido cuya previa estuvo marcada por el ambiente hostil que vivió el equipo italiano en su hotel de concentración.
Chelsea defeated Swedish opposition Malmö in the Champions League on Wednesday 4-0 in the pouring London rain but suffered a pair of injuries as Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner both left the game early. The Lukaku and Werner injuries took place in the first half.
Lukaku was substituted out after his ankle was caught in a challenge by a Malmö defender. Later on, Werner was sprinting for a ball over the top and pulled up grabbing at his hamstring.
Bayern Munich has been blowing out competition this season, scoring three or more goals in 11 of 12 matches coming into Wednesday, including eight in two Champions League games. But through 70 minutes on Wednesday, the German giants were scoreless. That is, until the Leroy Sané free kick vs Benfica.
Sané blasted a marvelous free kick to break the deadlock and open the floodgates as Bayern poured it on late in a 4-0 win on Wednesday at the Estádio da Luz. Sané scored the first and fourth goals after his club had two goals denied by the VAR.
Con tres jornadas de la fase regular por delante, América se escapa en solitario como líder del Apertura 2021. Las Águilas sumaron un nuevo triunfo, venciendo de local a Santos Laguna y es casi imposible que alguien les robe el primer puesto de aquí a fin de temporada.
Tan seguros están que incluso jugadores como Sebastián Córdova decidieron presumir la campaña del equipo en redes sociales con el clásico "hace frío en la cima".
