Rising USWNT star Catarina Macario continued what's arguably been the finest season ever by an American abroad by scoring twice in Lyon's 3-2 first leg Champions League semifinal victory over French rival PSG at Groupama Stadium on Sunday.
Things started poorly for the home side when PSG's Marie-Antoinette Katoto diced Wendie Renard in the area before beating Christiane Endler at her near post in the sixth-minute.
Quizás ustedes eran muy jóvenes, pero hace un mes y medio el América era sotanero del Clausura 2022. El equipo daba pena y parecía destinado a una temporada de esas de las que nadie quiere hablar.
Sin embargo, tras el despido de Santiago Solari, Las Águilas abrieron las alas y con seis victorias consecutivas – la última ante Tigres – escalaron hasta la cuarta posición de la tabla, asegurando repechaje y esperando resultados para incluso clasificar de manera directa a la liguilla.
With Chelsea going through the motions until the FA Cup final and West Ham fully focused on Thursday's Europa League semifinal against Eintracht Frankfurt, the two clubs combined to play 85 minutes of entirely forgettable Premier League football on Sunday.
The first 45 minutes went down like this:
HT: Chelsea () 0-0 () West Ham

No sin sufrimiento, el Real Betis consiguió el tercer título de su historia en la Copa del Rey, luego de vencer en lanzamientos penales al Valencia. La gloria verdiblanca tocó de paso la puerta de los dos mexicanos de su plantel: Diego Lainez y Andrés Guardado.
El aporte de ambos en la final fue dispar. Lainez no estuvo ni siquiera sentado en el banco de suplentes, mientras que Guardado ingresó en el complemento y convirtió uno de los penales que desataría los festejos béticos.
PARIS — Paris St. Germain secured a record-equalling 10th French top-flight title after stuttering to a 1-1 home draw by 10-man RC Lens on Saturday.
Lionel Messi's goal was canceled out by Corentin Jean as PSG was left on 78 points, 16 ahead of second-placed Olympique de Marseille, which will play its game in hand at Stade de Reims on Sunday.
LONDON — Stuttering Tottenham Hotspur's top-four ambitions suffered another blow when they were second best in a 0-0 draw away to Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday.
Having seen Arsenal displace them from fourth spot earlier in the day, Tottenham would have reclaimed it with a win but they were lacklustre and were fortunate to earn a point.
Brentford, with former Tottenham playmaker Christian Eriksen pulling the strings, had the best chances with Ivan Toney hitting the crossbar in the first half.
MUNICH, Germany — Bayern Munich beat Borussia Dortmund 3-1 on Saturday to secure its 10th straight Bundesliga title with three games left to play in the season.
Patrik Schick became an instant legend last summer when he hit a 50-yard goal against Scotland in the 2020 Euros. The Schick goal vs Greuther Fürth on Saturday was from much closer range, but no less unique.
Goalkeepers are weird. Not bad, per se, just peculiar. It takes a different type of person to play keeper, that oddball who dons oversized gloves and uses their hands. Sometimes the antics of goalkeepers are lauded for throwing opponents off, others they’re laughed at for being too bizarre.
