Goals

United States men’s national team defender Tim Ream found the back of the net for Fulham on Saturday vs. Manchester City. The unlikely hero for the Cottagers did so on a corner kick in exquisite fashion to level the game at 1-1.

Let’s set the scene.

Just two minutes prior to Ream’s goal, Erling Haaland had teed up Julián Álvarez for the game’s opening goal. The Etihad Stadium was rocking as their side took the lead.

LONDON — Nottingham Forest substitute Anthony Elanga struck early in the second half to earn a 1-0 win at toothless Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday.

The 21-year-old Swede kept his cool to push the ball neatly past goalkeeper Robert Sanchez in the 48th minute after being put through by Taiwo Awoniyi following a Chelsea mix-up in midfield.

Christian Pulisic is off to a fantastic start to his new life in Milan as he scored his second Serie A goal on Saturday during AC Milan’s 4-1 victory vs. Torino.

Pulisic opened the scoring in the 33rd minute. Milan struck on a quick attack with Pulisic slipping the ball through to his former Chelsea teammate Ruben Loftus-Cheek. The Milan midfielder did a great job to get by his defender and then put it on a plate for Pulisic.

United States men’s national team goalkeeper Matt Turner had a solid game in goal for Nottingham Forest on Saturday vs. Manchester United despite his side losing 3-2.

Turner didn’t have it easy at Old Trafford as he made seven saves during the game. The American keeper’s best moment came in the 54th minute when Antony curled a beautiful shot on goal and Turner made a full-stretch save to deny the goal.

For the first time since his arrival to Miami Lionel Messi failed to score in a game when the Herons defeated FC Cincinnati 5-4 on penalties (3-3 after extra time) in the U.S. Open Cup semifinals at TQL Stadium on Wednesday.

Messi made up for it with two assists including a perfect ball to Leonardo Campana in the 97th minute to send the game to extra time.

LEO MESSI AND LEONARDO CAMPANA COME THROUGH AGAIN FOR INTER MIAMI.

Christian Pulisic had a memorable Serie A debut with AC Milan on Monday setting up one goal and scoring one of his own in a 2-0 victory vs. Bologna.

Pulisic’s goal vs. Bologna is arguably one of the best goals in his career. In the 21st minute the USMNT star linked up beautifully with his former Chelsea teammate Olivier Giroud and then rifled a shot from 20 yards out.

Despite three Bologna defenders around him, Pulisic still got his shot off. Bologna’s goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski had no chance saving that one.

Lionel Messi did it again Saturday night with a spectacular goal vs. Nashville SC in the Leagues Cup final as Inter Miami won 10-9 on penalty kicks after drawing 1-1 after 90 minutes.

United States men’s national team fans could only watch on in horror as our beautiful defensive prince Walker Zimmerman was torn to shreds along with the rest of the Nashville defense in the 23rd minute.

Up until that point Nashville had nullified the Messi effect. The Argentine had touched the ball only a handful of times and had no impact on the game yet.

Wrexham have been Hollywood gold in their first four games of League 2, the fourth tier of English soccer. The Welsh club have scored more goals than any other club in the league with 13. They’ve also conceded more than any other club… also 13.

On Saturday Wrexham had an insane comeback vs. Swindon Town for a 5-5 draw. The Red Dragons scored twice in stoppage time to earn a point.

BRISBANE — Sweden picked up their fourth Women's World Cup bronze medal on Saturday after goals from Fridolina Rolfo and Kosovare Asllani gave them a 2-0 win over co-hosts Australia in the third-place playoff match at Lang Park in Brisbane.

The Swedes, ranked third in the world, were awarded a penalty in the 28th minute after a VAR review showed Australia defender Clare Hunt clipped Stina Blackstenius' heels, and forward Rolfo slotted home the resulting spot kick.
