Nothing else matters right now. Pablo Pérez of Newell’s Old Boys has just etched his name on the 2022 Puskás Award.
The 37-year-old (yes, you read that right) scored the stunner in the 10th minute as Newell’s Old Boys lost 2-1 to Godoy Cruz in the Argentine Primera División.

Stop what you’re doing and watch this goal from Cremonese left-back Leonardo Sernicola.
Late in his side’s eventual 2-1 loss to Torino, Sernicola unleashed a spectacular effort that is ever so satisfying to watch. His teammate Cyriel Dessers chested the ball into his path, but as he approached it, it fell at an awkward height and Sernicola had to improvise. A hop and strike with the inside of his foot preceded a beautiful curling goal that nestled perfectly into the top corner.
Gonzalo Higuaín is making a habit of scoring worldies for Inter Miami. Almost a month ago, the Argentine scored a ridiculous free kick from just outside of the box against Cincinnati. Tonight, he hit copy and paste against the New York Red Bulls.
GONZALO HIGUAIN!

If someone had asked me close to this time last year which USMNT strikers would go to Qatar I would have had Ricadro Pepi top of mind. Fast forward to present day and the job for the starting striker at the World Cup with the USMNT is there for the taking with several bidders.
Josh Sargent is in the best form of his career, Jordan Pefok has been a menace in front of goal for Union Berlin and Haji Wright is racking up the goals in Turkey. All three USMNT strikers had goal contributions this weekend.
MANCHESTER — Manchester City's Erling Haaland struck a second half hat trick as the Premier League champions came back from two goals down to beat Crystal Palace 4-2 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
The Norwegian, who averaged almost a goal per game in the Bundesliga for Borussia Dortmund before his move to City in June, has now scored six times in his opening four league matches for Pep Guardiola's side.
The win moves City to the top of the table, level on 10 points with Brighton & Hove Albion. Palace are 13th with four points from their opening four games.
Liverpool earned their first win of the season in stunning fashion after equalling the record for the biggest ever Premier League victory with a 9-0 thrashing of newly promoted Bournemouth at Anfield on Saturday.
Pumas estuvo a nada, literalmente a nada de romper la maldición de Dani Alves.
Desde la llegada del legendario lateral brasileño, los universitarios han caído en una racha que la noche del miércoles sumó su sexto partido consecutivo sin victorias. A saber:
Take a bow Mateo Coronel!
The 23-year-old midfielder for Atlético Tucumán in Argentina’s top flight scored one of the most impressive long-range goals this writer has ever seen during a 4-0 victory Tuesday night.
A typical goal from distance is around midfield and catches the goalkeeper out. Other long-range goals are ones like we saw from Union Omaha’s goalkeeper on Saturday that took two bounces before trickling into the goal.
Chivas se acordó de ganar y sus delanteros de convertir goles. Hace unos días Ángel Zaldívar marcó un doblete en el 4-0 sobre Necaxa y la noche de este martes le tocó a Santiago Ormeño estrenarse como goleador del Rebaño Sagrado en el triunfo 1-0 sobre Monterrey, líder del torneo.
Ambos delanteros se han sacado un peso de encima, pero el alivio más grande parece ser el de Santi Ormeño, sobre todo por la polémica generada en torno a su llegada al Club Guadalajara.
¿Hay algo que Emilio Lara no sepa hacer bien? El canterano del América es sin dudas la gran revelación del Apertura 2022 y la noche de este miércoles desbloqueó un nuevo logro en su meteórico ascenso: el Pelón marcó su primer gol en el profesionalismo y de paso le dio la victoria a los azulcrema sobre Querétaro.
Por supuesto, Lara tiene detalles que mejorar, pero desde un punto de vista general, el futbolista de 20 años parece jugar como un veterano de mil batallas. Y eso incluso le ha servido para responder en distintas posiciones de la zaga.
