Ezequiel Barco and Emerson Hyndman each had goals to lead host Atlanta United to a 3-1 victory over Chicago Fire FC on Saturday night.
After not scoring in its MLS opener last week against Orlando City and mustering only two goals in three matches overall, Atlanta United (1-0-1, 4 points) found its offensive spark in front of a 50-percent capacity crowd in its home opener.
Cade Cowell scored his first goal of the season and added an assist in his new role as a starting striker to lead the host San Jose Earthquakes to a 3-1 victory over FC Dallas on Saturday.
Oswaldo Alanís scored from the penalty spot and Cristian Espinoza added a second-half goal after missing a first-half penalty for the Earthquakes (1-1-0, 3 points), who won their first home opener since 2018.
Let’s just rename the “hockey assist” — where a player assists the assist — the Pulisic assist after Christian Pulisic helped create another goal on Saturday. The American provided the pass that Ben Chilwell sent across for Timo Werner to slot home for the match winner as Chelsea scored a massive 1-0 win over West Ham. Sadly, the match was marred by an absolutely ludicrous Fabián Balbuena red card in the final 10 minutes.
MAINZ, Germany — Bayern Munich squandered its first chance to seal the Bundesliga title when it lost 2-1 at Mainz 05 on Saturday and will now have to wait for RB Leipzig's game on Sunday to see whether it has clinched its 31st German league crown.
Jonathan Burkardt stunned the visitors after three minutes, turning at the edge of the box and releasing only for Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer to turn the ball into his own goal.

When Wycombe earned promotion to the Championship for the first time in 2020, the Chairboys became instant favorites for relegation.
This was a side that finished 17th in League One in 2018/19 and was predicted to be near the bottom end of the table once again in 19/20. Manager Gareth Ainsworth's side finished eighth in a COVID-shortened season and only earned a playoff spot due to the points per game formula applied by the league.
Lo sabemos. Para Chicharito Hernández 2020 fue un año para tirar por el inodoro. En mala forma física y con apenas dos goles en 12 partidos, muchos estaban convencidos de que su paso por LA Galaxy estaba destinado a ser uno de los grandes fiascos de la MLS. Sin embargo, en el inicio de la temporada 2021, el mexicano anunció que está listo para pelearla y demostrar que está para soñar con cosas chingonas.
Sus goles en el debut lo hicieron merecedor del premio al Mejor Jugador de la Semana en la MLS. También sirvieron para recordar en lo que es bueno:
One way or another, it seems Daryl Dike is going to be playing in the Premier League next season. While there are plenty of current EPL suitors, another match winner from the 20-year-old American has his new club Barnsley within touching distance of ensuring a place in the promotion playoffs.
No young player in the game's history has matched the outrageous clip of production that Erling Haaland has conjured over the last three years.
Los minutos de Héctor Herrera en el Atlético de Madrid no han sido abundantes este año. El Zorro, sin embargo, hoy aprovechó la titularidad que le dio Diego Simeone para convertirse en el motor de un equipo que se sacudió de los fantasmas que lo perseguían. Los colchoneros, sin los lesionados Luis Suárez y João Félix, vencieron por 5-0 al Eibar y se aseguraron una semana más al tope de LaLiga.
El primer gol del Atlético demoró, pero llegó, con el mediocampista mexicano como protagonista. A los 41', Herrera pivoteó un tiro de esquina de Kevin Trippier y habilitó a Ángel Correa.
