Raúl Jiménez intenta e intenta, pero tras cinco jornadas en la Premier League 2021/22 sigue sin anotar goles. La sequía del Lobo incluso comienza a manifestarse en gestos de frustración y hasta desafiando las recomendaciones médicas que recibió tras la fractura de cráneo sufrida en noviembre de 2020.
En su segundo partido después de una maldita y rebelde lesión de pantorrilla, Javier Hernández volvió a encontrarse con el gol. Chicharito marcó en el empate 1-1 entre el LA Galaxy y el Houston Dynamo, en lo que es su undécima conquista de la temporada.
El delantero mexicano había tenido un excelente arranque en la campaña 2021, convirtiendo 10 goles en 10 partidos. Sin embargo, luego de un partido ante San Jose Earthquakes, disputado el pasado 26 de junio, Chicharito entró en una dura travesía de 77 días sin fútbol.
Romelu Lukaku’s 69th minute header proved to be the difference in Chelsea’s 1-0 Champions League opener against Zenit on Tuesday. The Chelsea vs. Zenit highlights saw the defending champs frustrated by a feisty Russian side for most of the game.
Zenit’s defense dug its heels into the ground and dared the Blues to try and get past. I’m willing to bet that if Chelsea had the same squad as last season, then this match would have ended in a draw. That’s not the case when a player like Lukaku roams in the opposition’s box.
Fans of the Football League Championship will likely know that Cardiff City has been the division's most lethal set piece side over the past few seasons.
The Welsh club's 51 set piece goals since the start of the 2019/20 campaign have been by far the best in the league, which shouldn't be a surprise given that striker Kieffer Moore — who stands every bit of 6-5 — topped the team with 20 goals last year and led the league with 10.5 aerials won per match (winning 119 more aerial duels than the second place finisher).
Esta noche, México tenía una oportunidad de cobrarse revancha ante Estados Unidos y sepultar el amargo recuerdo que dejó la final de la Nations League, el pasado 6 de junio. Sin embargo, en el duelo por el título de la Copa Oro, el Tri volvió a pinchar.
Dolorosamente y a tres minutos del final de la prórroga, el USMNT logró la victoria con un cabezazo letal del zaguero Miles Robinson.
¡Goooooooooool del Team USA! ⚽
Álvaro Fidalgo por fin podrá contarle a sus nietos que alguna vez hizo un gol en el Estadio Azteca. El talentoso mediocampista español convirtió el tanto de la victoria, en un reñido 2-1 del América sobre el Necaxa.
English football will limit the number of high-force headers in training to 10 per week from the 2021-22 season to protect players as part of new guidelines, the Premier League and other governing bodies said on Wednesday.
Headers that involve higher forces are typically those taken after a long pass of more than 35 metres or from crosses, corners and free kicks, a joint statement from the governing bodies said.
The statement said that initial studies showed most of the headers are taken in training and the majority of those involve low forces.
The U.S. men's national team defeated Mexico in a highly contested match on Sunday to win the CONCACAF Nations League, marking the country’s first competitive victory over its rivals since September 10th, 2013.
The fruitless streak continued so long that I personally graduated middle school, high school and was just one year away from graduating college before the U.S. was victorious again. Christian Pulisic, the American captain who scored the go-ahead goal, was just 14 years old when the U.S. last claimed victory.
As the world heals from the pandemic, pick-up matches are on their way back as well. Pick-up matches exemplify all the best parts of soccer: intense rivalries, healthy competition and the opportunity to sharpen your skills.
It was a foggy Saturday morning soccer match and I was defending the goal spectating the action going on the field. I had stopped a few shots earlier in the match and my confidence was quickly rising. Thoughts raced through my head, realizing that I was about to officially record my first clean sheet of the season. Then as clear as day the ball was passed to me, and as I went to stop it with my foot it slowly but surely skipped right below my outstretched foot and into the awaiting net behind me.
