Messi Limps Off Injured As Di María Saves Day Against Lille

PARIS — Angel Di Maria showed his worth as he set up the first and scored the winner to give Paris St Germain a 2-1 win against champions Lille in Ligue 1 after Lionel Messi limped off injured on Friday.

In the absence of Kylian Mbappe, who is suffering from an infection, Di Maria shone throughout the game, providing captain Marquinhos with the equaliser after Jonathan David's opener before finding the back of the net two minutes from time.

Carli Lloyd Dices 2 Defenders To Set Up Goal, But Draw Means She May Miss Playoffs

Carli Lloyd might only have one match left in her career, but she’s still showing she can dice up an NWSL defense. If her own team’s defense can shore up, she’ll earn another match before she retires.

Monterrey Claims Concacaf Champions League Title After Calamitous Error By Cáceres

Rogelio Funes Mori's early goal led Monterrey to a 1-0 win over Club América on Thursday in the championship match of the Concacaf Champions League.

The victory, at Monterrey's home arena in Guadalupe, Mexico, gave the club its fifth CCL title and second in three years. Monterrey also won three consecutive championships from 2011-13. Monterrey improved to 5-0 in CCL finals.

Rebanada De Cáceres Condena Al América Y Le Da La Concachampions Al Monterrey

Un calamitoso error defensivo de Sebastián Cáceres, uno de esos que a uno lo persiguen por toda la vida, acabó siendo decisivo en la final de la Concacaf Champions League 2021 entre Monterrey y América.

En la previa, por presente, el favoritismo estaba marcado en las espaldas del América. Sin embargo, Rayados -que venía de una racha de cuatro derrotas consecutivas en Liga MX- aprovechó el aliento de sus aficionados en el Estadio BBVA y el fallo del zaguero americanista para obtener su quinto título en la competencia y también los boletos al Mundial de Clubes 2021.

Inexplicable Red Card In Italy Restarts Rumors Of Serie A Match Fixing

It's been 15 years since news of Italy's major match-fixing scandal shocked the footballing world. Calciopoli, as the scandal became known, involved five Serie A sides (namely Juventus) paying off anyone and everyone to influence things like refereeing selections and calls made on the field.

Gianluigi Buffon, Giorgio Chiellini and Zlatan Ibrahimovic — members of Juventus at the time and all still in Serie A — will certainly remember those dark days of Italian football, as well as the subsequent match-fixing scandal that came to light in 2011.

Toma Un Momento De Tu Vida Para Ver El Golazo De Osvaldo Rodríguez En El México Vs Ecuador

Hay goles de belleza cuestionable que serán recordados eternamente por haber sido convertidos en situaciones inolvidables. Del mismo modo, hay goles hermosos, sublimes y magníficos que deberán batallar para no ser olvidados, porque llegaron en enfrentamientos marcados por la irrelevancia. Y es en este último grupo, lamentablemente, donde cae el golazo que Osvaldo Rodríguez anotó en el amistoso que la selección mexicana jugó ante Ecuador, en Charlotte, Estados Unidos.

Weston McKennie Scores First Goal Of Season With Ronaldo-Esque Header

Since losing Cristiano Ronaldo in the offseason, Juventus has struggled to replace the Portuguese star’s impressive goal haul. Ronaldo had an incredible ability to leap for headed goals in his three seasons with the Bianconeri. But this Weston McKennie goal vs Sassuolo showed the Old Lady still has a pretty good option when lobbing balls into the box. Unfortunately for the American, the rest of his team wasn’t up to his level on Wednesday. 

Carli Lloyd’s Emotional Farewell Includes Unexpected Surprise To Reveal Her Spouse’s Last Name

Carli Lloyd’s career on the field has already been badass enough. She had one last trick up her sleeve during Tuesday night’s 6-0 thumping of South Korea when she revealed she had played the game (or at least 20 minutes of the second half) with two jerseys on. When her curtain call came, she took off her Lloyd jersey to reveal a Hollins jersey.

Lloyd has been married to her husband, Brian Hollins, since 2016. Hollins and Lloyd have been together since high school and officially tied the knot five years ago. Here was the special moment when Lloyd revealed the second jersey.

Somehow, This Was A Goal

Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. Eddie Nketiah was a bit of both on his goal against Leeds United in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.

Nketiah, a 22-year-old striker, has had a tough time getting into Arsenal’s squad this season. He hasn’t made the Premier League roster once in nine matches and made just his second appearance with the first team in a rare start on Tuesday in the League Cup. 

But Nketiah has made the most of his limited opportunities, scoring against AFC Wimbledon in the third round and then netting another against Leeds — barely. 

Casual Scorpion Kick Will Have You Wrongly Believing That You Can Do It Too

Incredible goals by young talents are frequently accompanied by the phrase “remember the name,” and that’s the case here for 21-year-old FC Groningen winger Cyril Ngonge.

The Belgium youth international’s star has been steadily rising over the last few years, beginning with a successful loan spell with Jong PSV in the Dutch second division to engineer a move to the Eredivisie’s RKC Waalwijk for the 2020-21 campaign.
