A few days ago, the Campeonato Pernambucano's first leg final gave the world a cute image when a police dog invaded the pitch. The pup ran into the field, played with a ball and melted hearts worldwide — a completely different situation to the horrific one we witnessed Saturday night in the second leg when a player from Clube Náutico tried to attack referee Deborah Cecilia after being sent off.
LONDON - Son Heung-min continued his prolific season, striking twice after Harry Kane had opened the scoring as Tottenham Hotspur beat Leicester City 3-1 at home on Sunday to boost their hopes of Champions League qualification.
The win moved Spurs a point above North London rivals Arsenal into fourth place in the Premier League, at least for a few hours, with the Gunners at West Ham United later on Sunday.
Ha sido un semestre difícil para Vincent Janssen, uno de los jugadores mejor pagados en la Liga MX. El Toro hasta la semana pasada no registraba goles en todo el Clausura 2022 y era uno de los punching balls favoritos para los fanáticos, tanto propios como ajenos. La falta de puntería era tan extrema que hace unos días, ante Pachuca, salió de la cancha entre lágrimas y pifias del público.
Jairo Torres se integra al Chicago Fire de la MLS este 1 de mayo. Antes de viajar a Estados Unidos, sin embargo, el futbolista jugó su último partido con Atlas, el equipo de toda su vida.
Y vaya qué despedida tuvo en el Estadio Jalisco. Ante Tigres, Torres recibió un homenaje del club, el aplauso de los fans y él agradeció todo con un gol que clasificó a los rojinegros de manera directa a los cuartos de final del Clausura 2022.
La noche comenzó con la entrega de una placa conmemorativa a Torres, quien llegó a las fuerzas básicas del Atlas cuando tenía apenas nueve años.

The number of days between Saturday and Barcelona’s last competitive defeat is 333. Needless to say, this Barcelona team doesn’t lose. Atlético Madrid was the last team to get the best of Barcelona on June 1, 2021, with a 4-3 Primera División victory.
A clip of a Feyenoord fan vs Marseille fans during Thursday’s Europa Conference League semifinal has gotten over a million views, and it’s easy to see why.
Feyenoord and Marseille played a thrilling five-goal first leg that saw the Dutch hosts take a 3-2 lead in the tie. When Feyenoord took a 2-0 lead after goals in the 18th and 20th minutes, one fan next to the Marseille away section revealed the badge of the visitors’ bitter rival.
MANCHESTER, England — Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo showed his continued class in front of goal by cancelling out Marcos Alonso's opener for a dominant Chelsea side in their 1-1 Premier League draw at Old Trafford on Thursday.
It was another night of mediocrity from Ralf Rangnick's United as their troubled season, which began with such high expectations, peters out.

The Seattle Sounders were not at their best in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions League final, but the MLS side did just enough to eke out a massive 2-2 draw with Pumas on Wednesday night in Mexico City.
In a match in which neither side played particularly well — a downpour at the start of the match played a part in that — Nico Lodeiro smashed two late penalty kicks past Mexico international keeper Alfredo Talavera to cancel out two goals from Juan Ignacio Dinenno. The result sets up an enthralling second leg in Seattle on Wednesday, May 4.
