Si bien no es algo que veamos todos los días, de vez en cuando uno se topa con la historia de un arquero convirtiendo un gol. Pero algo que definitivamente no es común es que tres porteros distintos hayan anotado en un mismo torneo.
Para aquellos que dicen que la Liga MX es aburrida, en este Apertura 2022 son tres los guardametas que han logrado meterse en la tabla de goleo:
Corinthians and Flamengo delivered a forgettable 0-0 draw in the first leg of the Brazilian Cup final Wednesday. However, there was some action worth mentioning in the stands thanks to the Timão's fans, who deployed a fantastic hawk-inspired 3D tifo before kick-off.
The Gaviões da Fiel — the biggest group of supporters of Corinthians — were behind the imposing design. The whole process took 14 days, and 100 fans worked together to raise it over the east stands of the Neo Química Arena.
En el día de su aniversario 106, Club América comienza a ilusionarse con el título 14 de su historia. La escuadra azulcrema visitó el Estadio Cuauhtémoc y venció a Puebla 6-1, en un verdadero concierto de fútbol, uno que además dejó practicamente sellado su paso a las semifinales del Apertura 2022.
El aterrizaje de las Águilas en la Angelópolis no fue muy placentero. Un chaparrón retrasó el inicio del partido y mientras secaban sus alas, Jordi Cortizo con un rebote algo fortuito adelantó a La Franja.
La búsqueda de un nuevo campeón en el fútbol mexicano entra en tierra derecha con el inicio de los cuartos de final del Apertura 2022.
Ocho equipos emparejados en cuatro llaves de ida y vuelta, con un sistema mata-mata que a fines de octubre determinará quién será el sucesor de Atlas en el partenón del balompié azteca.
América entra a la justa como líder de la fase regular y por ende corre con el favoritismo sobre sus hombros. ¿Podrá defender esa posición o si será otro club el que se quede con la corona?
Poco a poco lo iremos sabiendo.
Although Puebla got an exciting penalty shootout victory over Chivas to go through to the liguilla quarterfinals, a few controversial decisions from referee Luis Enrique Santander could’ve broken the internet if Chivas had come out victorious.
The words "Santander" and "Chivas" have been interrelated for quite some time now.
Israel Reyes has been heavily linked with a move to América for the 2023 Clausura after finishing with his current club, Puebla, in the 2022 Apertura Liguilla.
In the meantime, while the clubs and agents talk numbers, Reyes is doing his part to win over new fans before the deal is even finalized.
The 22-year-old Mexican was the fourth camotero to come up to the spot in a shootout against Chivas Sunday.
Argentina captain Lionel Messi has said he is counting the days until the World Cup and believes his team have a good chance of winning the tournament.
Messi, who will be playing his fifth World Cup in Qatar, told Star+ he is feeling nervous ahead of the tournament but is in positive mood.
Argentina will arrive in Qatar with their confidence high after winning the 2021 Copa América final against hosts Brazil, which Messi believes was a turning-point for his team after several near misses.
A few days ago, ESPN stats man Alexis Tamayo — known online as Mr. Chip — said the Liga MX format "is garbage." His opinion sent shockwaves across the Mexican soccer universe and the discussion was on.
As a guest on the Werevertumorro's YouTube channel, Mr. Chip pointed out that he doesn't understand how "a tournament in which consistency should be rewarded" also has something like playoffs. He also blamed the format as one of the culprits behind the lack of success among Mexican players on the international stage.
Liverpool fans are not happy with Darwin Núñez. The club paid a hefty $82 million to Benfica for the Uruguayan in an attempt to strengthen its front line after Sadio Mané's exit, while also providing talk for pundits about how he would compete with Erling Haaland for the Golden Boot. However, the striker hasn't hit it off and is starting to be called a bust.
Núñez has played a mere 340 minutes across all competitions and scored two goals (one in the PL and one in the Community Shield) — far from the 34 he bagged with Benfica last campaign.
Why such a difference?
Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez said Thursday he will be back with the Los Angeles Galaxy next season due to meeting a clause in his contract.
Chicharito revealed the news when asked about his future during a media availability session with reporters.
"I have a clause," Chicharito said. "And when I reach 11 goals and 60 percent of the minutes, it automatically renews."
