Thousands of protesters marched through the streets of Serbia’s capital on Saturday night despite immense snowfall and freezing temperatures.
Today in the Turkish second division, second-place Denizlispor hosted league leaders Genclerbirligi at the Denizli Atatürk Stadium. With Genclerbirligi enjoying a five-point lead in the table, this was a massive week 15 match up.
However, the game would ultimately finish 0-0 after Denizlispor’s Burak Calik failed to convert this chance after dribbling around the keeper. His final shot was ultimately saved on the goal-line via an outrageous kick save. Genclerbirligi's going after that TFF First League title, baby!
There is often a fine line between clever play and good sportsmanship. Ellie Carpenter toed it with her Australian W-League goal on Thursday.
Canberra United was seeking the first goal of the match in the second half against last-place Western Sydney when WSW goalkeeper Jada Mathyssen-Whyman came out of her box to kick the ball away from United striker Rhoda Mulaudzi.
Hatem Ben Arfa — football’s notorious l’enfant terrible — is now 31. If you’re thinking “Hey, there’s a name I haven’t heard in a while,” it’s because he took an entire year off while collecting $12.3 million. Much like how he burned his bridges at Lyon, Marseille, Newcastle United and Hull City, he found himself ostracized during the final year of his contract at PSG.
Rangers climbed to the top of the Scottish Premiership with a 2-1 victory over Hearts at Tynecastle Stadium on Sunday, but the march to three points for Steven Gerrard’s men was greatly complicated by the straight red issued to Canadian international Scott Arfield in the 72nd minute.
Some great goalkeeping from Hearts' Zdeněk Zlámal resulted in two saves in a matter of seconds, including the second one on the goal-line. However, with the ball secured safely at the goalmouth, Arfield came crashing in with a horrendously late sliding challenge on the ball and Zlámal’s face.
Caleb Ekuban is a 24-year-old Italian striker who has already played for seven different clubs. Currently owned by Leeds United by on loan with Turkish Süper Lig club Trabzonspor, Ekuban scored the most emotional goal of his young career.
Earlier this week, Ekuban’s mother passed away. He begged coach Ünal Karaman to let him play and the manager obliged by subbing him on in the 74th minute. Less than 10 minutes later, Ekuban netted the match winner, rising high to head in a free kick.
The Liga MX Apertura playoffs kicked off yesterday with number one seed Cruz Azul avoiding a “Cruzazulear” and defeating Querétaro 2-0 at Estadio Corregidora in the night’s first match, and that was followed by Monterrey’s 1-0 first leg win over Santos Laguna.
Gareth Bale could not have struck it more sweetly.
It was dipping, it was swerving and it was rocketing into the upper 90. It seemed like a certain late equalizer.
Then, out of nowhere, came this Kasper Schmeichel save vs Bale.
Dinamo Zagreb traveled to NK Lokomotiva for a top of the table clash in the Croatian first division, and how about this for a game-winning goal from 24-year-old Croatian forward Bruno Petković?
Struck in the 16th minute, not only did this goal ultimately open up an eight-point lead for Zagreb at the top of the table, it’s also the sort of thundering overhead kick that’s generally reserved for Thor during a kick about on Asgard.
Was this the weirdest goal ever? It has to be in consideration.
Out of the Israeli Premier League comes this dramatic and unusual match winner on Saturday.
Late in the Maccabi Petah Tikva vs. Maccabi Netanya match, Senegal international Issa Cissokho, the older brother of former French international Aly Cissokho, was down injured, struggling to get up.
Cissokho’s Petach-Tikva teammate, Habib Habibou stayed with Cissokho, trying to get his teammates, opponents and referee to stop play.
