El Inter Miami logró su primera victoria de la temporada 2021 de la MLS, al derrotar por 1-2 al Philadelphia Union. El equipo de Florida vino desde atrás, en una jornada que tuvo a los hermanos Higuaín como protagonistas. De hecho, Federico y Gonzalo se convirtieron en la primera pareja de hermanos en convertir en un mismo partido de la liga estadounidense.

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.

Chelsea all but clinched the FA Women’s Super League crown by holding off Manchester City for a 2-2 draw on Wednesday.
