América Femenil dio el primer golpe en los cuartos de final del Apertura 2021, luego de vencer por 2-1 a Chivas, su archirrival.
La historia, sin embargo, podría haber sido completamente diferente si la jueza del partido, Lizzet García Olvera, hubiera cobrado el gigantesco penal que sufrió la delantera Alicia Cervantes.
Hoy comenzaron los playoffs de la Liga MX Femenil y la gran interrogante del torneo es si habrá algún equipo capaz de derrotar a Tigres y bloquear su camino al tricampeonato.
Las Amazonas abrieron la liguilla venciendo de visita y casi sin sudar a Cruz Azul con un elocuente 4-0, completando de paso 39 partidos consecutivos sin conocer la derrota, un récord absoluto en el fútbol mexicano, ya sea femenil o varonil.
A la hora del desglose, son 32 triunfos y 7 empates, con 110 goles a favor y apenas 24 en contra. ¡Ridículo!
Las chances de Atlas de ganar el Apertura 2021 y romper su maldición de 70 años sin títulos lucen bastante bien, sobre todo luego de la victoria en calidad de visitante sobre Pumas, en la primera semifinal del torneo.
De hecho, de acuerdo al sitio fivethirtyeight.com, tras el triunfo en la CU, los rojinegros lideran las probabilidades de ganar el torneo.
To Argentina’s reserve league we go for a Thursday morning match between Racing and Huracán, the site of two very good goals for the Avellaneda-based club.
The first was scored by 18-year-old Nicolás Meaurio. It’s a scorpion kick that takes on the form of a BMX Superman trick. It might lose a style point since the goalkeeper got his hand to it, but you can tell that the total unreasonableness of the effort caught him completely by surprise.
Qué difícil es bajarse de la nube de adrenalina que brindaron Tigres y León en la primera semifinal del Apertura 2021. Sin temor a exagerar, el mejor partido de todo el torneo. Uno de esos que da gusto pagar una entrada o la suscripción al cable / servicio de streaming, uno de esos que parece un café ultracargado a las nueve de la noche.
El fervoroso ambiente en El Volcán paraba los pelos y dentro del campo de juego ambos equipos pusieron el alma para obtener el placer de la victoria.
It wasn’t a convincing win but Real Madrid defeated Athletic Club 1-0 on Wednesday night at the Santiago Bernabéu to open a seven-point lead over Atlético at the top of LaLiga (although los Colchoneros maintain a game in hand).
Athletic doesn’t make it easy for anyone — the Basque side entered this match with the division’s best defensive record after conceding 10 goals through 14 matches — but they came up against two of the planet’s most in-form players in Karim Benzema and Vinícius Júnior, and it was ultimately that duo that made the difference.
Remember when all the USWNT haters were bashing the world champs after hanging 13 goals on Thailand at the 2019 Women’s World Cup? I’d love to see what those same critics would say about England’s 20-0 win over Latvia on Tuesday, though let’s be honest, they’re not paying attention anymore.
The United States Women's National Team found itself on the wrong end of a deflection, resulting in a late goal for Australia in a 1-1 draw in Newcastle, Australia, on Tuesday (Monday night U.S. time).
Kyah Simon's shot caromed off Becky Sauerbrunn and past goalkeeper Casey Murphy into the net in the 88th minute for Australia.
The late goal allowed the Aussies to gain a measure of revenge after dropping a 3-0 setback to the Americans on Saturday.
FIFA announced the 2021 Puskás Award nominees on Monday and once again it’s a list of all-time bangers. The 11 goals include scorpion kicks, rabonas, bicycle kicks, audacious chips and goals from midfield — and Tottenham Hotspur could repeat as winner.
The Puskás Award is voted upon by two groups with equal electoral weight: an international panel of “FIFA Legends” and fans, who can vote here through Dec. 17.
