17-Year-Old Caden Clark Scores ANOTHER Stunner For The New York Red Bulls

Caden Clark scored the tying goal in the 77th minute and the visiting New York Red Bulls rallied for a 1-1 draw against league-leading Toronto FC Wednesday night at Rentschler Field in Hartford, Connecticut.

The 17-year-old became the youngest player in MLS history to score in his first two games after entering the game in the 59th minute. Clark leveled the game by releasing a left-footed shot from above the middle of the box that sailed over the diving attempt of Toronto goalkeeper Quentin Westburg. 

Pateó la pelota perfecta, y luego se quedó atónito por lo que había logrado

No todos los días puedes ver un gol que parece generar poder por sí mismo, pero eso fue exactamente lo que hizo Hyun-Jun Suk de Vitória Setúbal cuando anotó contra el Académica en la Primera División de Portugal el otro día.

Todo empieza como un simple tiro por encima. En este momento no había ninguna indicación de que ocurriría algo especial, ya que el movimiento era tan suave como lo puede ser un tiro así. Funcionó, lo hizo bien y eso es todo; el “defensor” corrió para acercarse.

Raúl Jiménez Provides Spectacular Assist On Diego Lainez’s First Mexico Goal

Mexico salvaged a 2-2 draw against 10-man Algeria on Tuesday with Jesús Corona’s beautiful opener pegged back by goals from Ismaël Bennacer and Riyad Mahrez before Diego Lainez provided one final flourish to the script in The Hague.    

Malta Winning Its First Away Match In Over 7 Years Is Nations League At Its Best

A beautiful aspect of international football is that it allows you to sample the vibe of a far-flung locale from the comfort of your own living room. Today, I took a trip to Riga, Latvia, to watch a UEFA Nations League D Group 1 meeting between the host nation and visiting Malta.

With Faroe Islands pacing the group on seven points from three matches, this was effectively a must-win game for both 137th-ranked Latvia (three points off three draws) and 186th-ranked Malta (two points).

The Phenomenon That Is Erling Haaland Scores His First International Hat Trick

Norway showed Brendan Rodgers levels of character by rebounding from Thursday’s heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to Serbia in the Euro 2021 playoffs with a 4-0 win over Romania in Nations League play on Sunday.

It’s obviously small consolation for the nation’s failure to qualify for a first major international tournament since Euro 2000, but today’s victory showed why qualifying for the 2022 World Cup might be within this current generation’s reach. 

England Hands Top-Ranked Belgium Its First Defeat Since 2018

Marcus Rashford's penalty and a lucky strike from Mason Mount helped England come from a goal down to overcome top-ranked Belgium 2-1 at Wembley on Sunday and climb above them in their UEFA Nations League group.

Romelu Lukaku opened the scoring for the visitors from the penalty spot in the 16th minute after being brought down by a lunging tackle from England's Eric Dier. It was the Inter Milan striker's 13th goal in his last 11 matches for his country.
