18-Year-Old Goes Full Superman On Ridiculous Scorpion Kick Goal

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.

Boca Se Impuso A Un River Mermado Por Covid-19 Y En Una Inusual Tanda De Penales

Tras un 1-1 en los 90 minutos, Boca Juniors se impuso a River Plate en una interesante tanda de penaltis en La Bombonera.

Drone Gets Snatched Mid-Flight And Destroyed After Interrupting Rosario Derby

The Clásico Rosarino (“Rosario derby”) between Rosario Central and Newell’s Old Boys was briefly interrupted on Sunday night by a low-hanging drone carrying a Rosario flag.
