A record-setting Women's FA Cup attendance of 49,094 at Wembley Stadium was treated to a classic final between Chelsea and Manchester City on Sunday that included a wonder goal, a stunning 89th-minute equalizer and dramatic winner in extra time.
Hace dos meses, nadie daba un peso por el América. El club estaba hundido en el sótano de la liga y el plan en el horizonte era evitar un ridículo histórico. Sin embargo, una vez concretada la salida de Santiago Solari de la banca, las Águilas emprendieron un vuelo que hoy las tiene en las semifinales del Clausura 2022.
Maybe Chelsea should try to start scoring goals in regulation of domestic cup finals. Or maybe coach Thomas Tuchel should give more respect to American penalty takers. For the third time in three years and second in a manner of months, the Blues missed a chance to bring home hardware via a penalty shootout defeat after a scoreless draw.
Liverpool outlasted Chelsea 6-5 in a dramatic shootout following 120 minutes of scoreless football to claim the 2022 FA Cup trophy. The win kept Liverpool’s hopes for an unprecedented quadruple alive.
There’s something about simultaneous kickoffs on the final day of the season that makes for must-watch viewing. The Bundesliga season came to a close on Saturday with all nine matches kicking off at the same time. While the title was long ago clinched by Bayern Munich (as usual), there was drama around the European places and relegation zone on the final day.
Atlas derrotó de visita a Chivas y se quedó con el primer round de los cuartos de final del Apertura 2022. Los rojinegros – actuales campeones del fútbol mexicano – rescataron el valioso botín desde el Estadio Akron gracias a un doblete del canterano Jeremy Márquez y un buen par de tapadas del arquero colombiano Camilo Vargas, quien incluso no dudó en ofrecer sus partes nobles en sacrificio del trabajo colectivo.
Real Madrid smashed Levante 6-0 to confirm Levante’s relegation on Thursday. Vini Jr. had three goals and Luka Modrić had three assists. For me, the best play of the game was the Karim Benzema assist to Vini Jr. for the fifth, the Frenchman going full Gumby-legs to set up the Brazilian.
Federico Viñas apenas alcanzó a jugar 15 minutos en la visita del América al Puebla, en el duelo de ida de los cuartos de final del Clausura 2022. El delantero uruguayo debió salir de cambio luego de una terrible entrada del defensor camotero Juan Segovia, quien con los tachones arriba perforó los botines, las calcetas y parte del empeine de Viñas.
Weston McKennie and Juventus will finish the 2021-22 season without a trophy. Ivan Perišić made sure of it with two well-taken goals — one with each foot — in extra time as Inter Milan claimed the Coppa Italia 4-2 on Wednesday at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
In a wild, back-and-forth match that saw Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri shown a red card, Inter took full advantage of two penalty kicks and dominated extra time to claim its eighth Coppa Italia, trailing only Juventus (14) and Roma (9) for most all time.
Manchester City reopened its three-point lead over Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table Wednesday with a 5-1 away win over Wolves courtesy of Kevin De Bruyne's hat trick inside 24 minutes before the Belgian added a fourth on the hour mark. Raheem Sterling completed the scoring for City in the 84th.
In terms of minutes on the clock, De Bruyne's hat trick was the third earliest in PL history.

Christian Pulisic has started two Premier League games in a row for Chelsea and has picked up an assist and a goal. Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel had repeatedly snubbed Pulisic from the starting 11 for the past two months. Hopefully this Pulisic goal vs Leeds United on Wednesday will earn him a start in the FA Cup final against Liverpool on Saturday.
Pulisic’s goal was Chelsea’s second in a 3-0 victory on Wednesday.
