At this point it's one of the most outrageous traditions in all of sports — Manchester City hosts Manchester United in Women's Super League play and City midfielder Caroline Weir scores a contender for the Puskás Award.
It all began in 2019 when, in the inaugural WSL Manchester derby, Weir lashed a 25-yard rocket into the far corner to the delight of 31,213 at the Etihad.
MADRID — A last-minute goal from substitute Mario Hermoso gave Atletico Madrid the victory in a seven-goal thriller as they beat Getafe 4-3 at home on Saturday.
The helter-skelter game saw six goals in the first-half, as well as a missed penalty, before Hermoso — who had been brought on after Atletico defender Felipe was dismissed in the second period — sent the Wanda Metropolitano into raptures and his team into fourth place in the table.
THIS MATCH WINNING GOAL FROM MARIO HERMOSO
Chelsea became champions of the world on Saturday after defeating Brazilian side Palmeiras 2-1 in a tight contest that saw extra time and two VAR reviews for penalty kicks. Christian Pulisic played for 90 minutes in a historic game for an American player.
Pulisic made history in the 31st minute when he was substituted on for an injured Mason Mount. He is the first American to ever play in the FIFA Club World Cup.
VfL Bochum returned to the Bundesliga for the first time in 12 years this season after earning promotion from the 2. Bundesliga. The club recorded a famous 4-2 victory on Saturday against Bayern Munich with all four goals coming in the first half.
Robert Lewandowski gave Bayern the lead nine minutes into the game after some great play from the Bavarian giants. The lead would only last five minutes as a clinical Bochum counterattack got the hosts level.
Bochum then shocked the Bundesliga leaders in the 38th minute after converting a penalty to take the lead.
USMNT star Brenden Aaronson scored his second Austrian Bundesliga goal of the season on Friday in a 2-1 comeback victory vs. Rapid Wien. After his team went behind in The18th minute (see what I did there), Aaronson led the charge in the second half.
In the 64th minute the “Medford Messi” equalized for Red Bull Salzburg with a well-placed finish. I must say I’m a big fan of the broadcast having a “Medford Messi” lower third graphic ready to go.
Monterrey unió los pedazos de orgullo rotos tras la derrota ante el Al Ahly y este miércoles tuvo un partido casi perfecto para vencer a Al Jazira y quedarse al menos con el quinto puesto del Mundial de Clubes 2021.
The Campeonato Pernambucano — the state football championship of Pernambuco, Brazil — was the site of an unbelievable goal on Sunday from 21-year-old Salgueiro AC defender Lucão.
Up 1-0 shortly before halftime and facing pressure from Sete de Setembro, Lucão showed everyone that the quickest transition from defense into attack is simply an 80-yard volley from the middle of your own half that touches down inside the opponent's net.
It's an effective way to beat the high-press that should be taught in academies across America — if Brazil's doing it, we should do it too.
El Club América parece estar en un pozo sin fondo. Las Águilas cayeron la noche del sábado de manera estrepitosa ante el Atlético de San Luis y sumaron su octavo partido sin conocer la victoria. Lo peor de todo es que sus jugadores se pasean por los campos de la Liga MX cabizbajos y sin encontrar respuestas al momento en que viven, mientras que los aficionados apuntan dedos exigiendo la renuncia de Santiago Solari, su entrenador, así como la del director deportivo Santiago Baños.
Barcelona and Atlético Madrid played out an instant classic at the Camp Nou on Sunday with the hosts, despite being a man down for over 20 minutes, winning 4-2 to reenter the LaLiga top four for the first time since matchweek three.
Luis Suárez kept Atléti in it, but Adama Traoré was electric in his first game since arriving on loan from Wolves, and the 38-year-old Dani Alves stole the headlines with a goal, assist and straight red card during his 69 minutes on the pitch.
Pachuca se encaramó a la cima del Clausura 2022 luego de vencer a domicilio a un feble Necaxa. Fue un 1-3 incuestionable y que además regaló a sus espectadores un candidato a gol del año en la Liga MX, gracias a una plástica acción de Avilés Hurtado.
La conquista ocurrió en el minuto 9, cuando los Tuzos ya ganaban 0-1 gracias a anotación de Romario Ibarra.
