Cobresal goalkeeper Leandro Requena is over the moon not only because he scored a rare coast-to-coast goal against Chilean giants Colo Colo in a 3-1 win last Saturday, but also because his feat might have broken the record for the longest goal ever scored in professional soccer.
The funny thing is he wasn't even trying.
If you think Emiliano Martinez is the most despicable goalkeeper out there, just wait to meet Zsombor Senkó, the man between the sticks for Hungarian second-division side DVTK. He's being rightly booed worldwide after denying a goal and crushing the dreams of a seven-year-old boy on his birthday!
Boooo! And another boooo!
¿Qué tal, tropa? La Jornada 11 del Clausura 2023 es historia y dejó varias conversaciones sobre la mesa. Entre ellas:
Angolan club Petro Atlético's goalkeeper Hugo Marques was attacked by a spectator in the final minutes of his team's 2-0 defeat by holders Wydad Casablanca in the African Champions League on Saturday.
Video footage from behind the goal showed a man running on to the pitch and up to Marques, then saying something to the keeper before pushing him.
The two exchanged a flurry of punches before security guards and Marques's teammates intervened and the supporter was overpowered and taken off the pitch. The keeper was treated by doctors and the game restarted shortly afterwards.
After disappointingly crashing out of the UEFA Champions League earlier in the week, PSG bounced back to defeat a feisty Brest side 2-1 on Saturday.
PSG left it late as Lionel Messi found Kylian Mbappé with a perfect pass in the 90th minute to snatch the victory.
This was the 300th assist in Messi’s club career and boy was it a beauty.
¡MBAPPÉ SALVA AL PSG!
El capitán y máximo goleador en la historia del equipo le da el triunfo en el 90+2'
América tendrá este sábado una dura visita a los Tigres de la UANL. Y en su plan de partido viene un cambio mayúsculo: cansado de los errores de Óscar Jiménez, el equipo azulcrema hará debutar de manera oficial en su portería a Luis Ángel Malagón.
Malagón llegó a Coapa en el último mercado de invierno, proveniente del Necaxa, con el objetivo de suplir la partida de Guillermo Ochoa al Salernitana y el sueño de convertirse en un golero de época en Las Águilas.
LONDON — Seven-time winners AC Milan reached the Champions League quarterfinals for the first time in 11 years as a disciplined display earned them a drab 0-0 draw at Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday and a 1-0 aggregate victory.
On a freezing night in north London the Italians comfortably protected the slender advantage they established in the first leg of their last-16 tie at the San Siro as Tottenham huffed and puffed to little effect and exited with a whimper.
Por años a la sombra de Guillermo Ochoa, Óscar Jiménez finalmente ha tenido en este Clausura 2023 la chance de ser el número 1 del América. La salida de Memo al Salernitana de Italia le abrió la puerta y el técnico Fernando Ortiz le dio la confianza para serlo, pese al fichaje del promisorio Luis Malagón.
Loris Karius' one-day Redemption Tour is at an end. Playing his first competitive match in nearly two years and his first representing an English club since that infamous night in Kyiv, Karius could not prevent Newcastle's defeat in the EFL Cup final on Sunday as Manchester United scored two goals in a six-minute first-half span to claim the season's first major piece of silverware.
West Brom may have only finished Saturday’s EFL Championship game with 30% possession, but that’s all they needed after two early Daryl Dike goals vs Middlesbrough was enough for a 2-0 victory.
Dike’s pair of goals came just two minutes apart as he bested fellow American goalkeeper Zack Steffen in the 8th and 10th minute.
The first goal for Dike came at the end of a great sequence of passes from West Brom. His darting run into the middle gave him enough space to slip the ball past Steffen.
