Water-Logged Pitch Leads To One Of The Greatest Rain-Assisted Goals Of All Time

24-year-old Mexico international Jesus Gallardo scored his first goal for Monterrey last night, and it was easily the greatest goal in the history of los Rayados. 

With torrential rain turning the pitch at Estadio BBVA Bancomer into soup during Monterrey’s Liga MX encounter with Club Tijuana, Gallardo used the treacherous conditions to embark on the sort of counterattack that hasn’t been seen since Kevin Costner was gunning around on a jet ski in Waterworld.

After Beating Maradona’s Dorados, Querétaro Players Invade Opponent’s Bus For Pics

Querétaro survived a late comeback attempt from Dorados de Sinaloa to advance 2-1 in the Copa MX Round of 16 on Wednesday at La Corregidora. But Los Albiazules players may have been more excited about meeting the Dorados coach than the win itself.

Who could blame them? The club is coached by Diego Maradona, who once won the World Cup in Mexico. After the match, Querétaro players invaded the Dorados team bus in search of photos with the Argentine legend.

Worst Offside Trap Ever Leads To Shock Club América Upset In Copa MX

After finishing Apertura Copa MX group play with a record of three wins, one draw and a +8 goal difference, Club América grabbed the No. 1 seed in the knockout bracket, setting up a clash with No. 16 seed FC Juárez, which advanced to the knockout stage by the skin of its teeth as the seventh-best second-place finisher. 

Chucky Lozano Scores His Seventh Of The Season, Like A Man Possessed

An Eredivisie table-topping match between first place PSV Eindhoven and second place Ajax went the way of PSV on Sunday, the home side using an entirely dominant opening 35-minute period to build a resounding three-goal lead thanks to strikes from Gaston Pereiro, Luuk de Jong and Hirving “Chucky” Lozano.

Toronto FC Sucks Now So Of Course It Got Trashed By Tigres In Campeones Cup

The Campeones Cup was too much to ask of a team that’s completely fallen apart.

Last year, Toronto FC set all sorts of records as arguably the best MLS team ever put together. The Reds added a few parts during the offseason and reached the final of the Concacaf Champions League in April, arguably the best run in the tournament ever by an MLS club.

But that was TFC then. 

This is TFC now.

Maradona Wins Dorados Debut, But The True Highlight Was Definitely Diego Cam

Diego Maradona’s debut as manager of Ascenso MX (Mexico’s second division) side Dorados FC coincided with the club earning its first win of the 2018 Apertura season, a 4-1 home victory over last-place Cafetaleros. Vinicio Angulo scored a hat-trick for Dorados, but the star of the show was obviously the 57-year-old on the touchline.

Hirving Lozano Is Still Searching For Ousmane Dembélé After Magical Turn, Incredible Solo Goal

Hirving Lozano earned a lot of praise for his defensive efforts during the World Cup with Mexico. Much of it was deserved as his tracking back was nearly as important as his goal against Germany. But on this Ousmane Dembele goal vs PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday, Lozano was left grasping at air.

Érick Gutiérrez Scores Great Goal, Assists Chucky Lozano Within 5 Minutes Of PSV Debut

Welcome to the Netherlands, Érick Gutiérrez. 

Gutiérrez, a Mexico international midfielder, reunited with former Pachuca winger Hirving Lozano in the Eredivisie when PSV Eindhoven signed the 23-year-old just before the transfer deadline in August. 

He made his debut on Saturday, coming on as a substitute against ADO Den Haag. 

Five minutes later, he had assisted his compatriot and scored a cracking goal. 

Club America’s GK Shows Alisson How To Deal With A Pesky Forward Press

Here we have Club America No. 1 Agustin Marchesin facing an eerily similar situation to the one confronted by Liverpool’s Alisson against Leicester City back on Sept. 1. Alisson, of course, infamously gave the ball away while performing your grandmother’s wedding dance steps, allowing Rachid Ghezzal to pull one back. 

Where Does The Miazga-Lainez Beef Rank In USMNT-Mexico History?

In 2011, the United States took a 2-0 lead over Mexico in the Gold Cup final. A coworker of mine at the time, who was supposed to be covering a baseball game for the newspaper we worked for, tweeted: “THIS IS THE GREATEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE!!!” This despite the fact he had, earlier that week, found out his wife had finally become pregnant after years of trying. For me, it was just another in a long line of memorable moments from the thrilling USMNT vs Mexico rivalry.
