Amazing Goals

The Mexico Women's National Team won the gold medal at the Central American and Caribbean Games on Monday night in Barranquilla, Colombia.

With staggering goals and extraordinary performances, Mexico bounced back from an early deficit in the final vs. Costa Rica.

El Tri Femenil secured the highest prize with a final score of 3-1. Mexico trailed 1-0 after María Alvarado scored via a penalty kick for Costa Rica in the 13th minute.

The rumors were confirmed Wednesday that 17-year-old Canadian phenom Alphonso Davies would be joining Bayern Munich come January on a transfer that could rise to as high as $22 million, but for now, the Vancouver Whitecaps winger is free to continue his breakout season in MLS — Saturday night was perhaps his best performance as a professional.

Xherdan Shaqiri made his Liverpool debut on Saturday, coming on as a 66th minute sub. He immediately assisted on the match winner, but we don’t really care about that. What we care about was the absurd Shaqiri goal vs Manchester United in the 82nd minute. 

Benfica vs. Juventus wasn’t exactly one of the more glamorous matchups brought to us by the International Champions Cup. But it brought us the two best goals of the preseason tournament, namely the Luca Clemenza goal vs Benfica on Saturday at Red Bull Arena in New Jersey. 

The match was scoreless after an hour. The deadlock was broken in the 65th minute by Benfica’s 22-year-old Spaniard Alejandro Grimaldo, who smashed a free kick that dipped perfectly into the back of the net.

The USWNT defeated Japan 4-2 to begin Tournament of Nations play (essentially the warmup for October’s World Cup qualifying event) with Alex Morgan registering a hat-trick inside 56 minutes and The Best FIFA Women’s Player finalist Megan Rapinoe adding the fourth in the 66th.

Think it’s a little early to announce the Liga MX best goal of the 2018 season? Look at this Elías Hernández goal and think again.

On the first week after resuming Liga MX, Cruz Azul’s Elías Hernández scored what will very possibly be named the goal of the season.
