Major League Soccer Golden Boot winner Valentín Castellanos scored his first MLS Cup playoff goal in the 49th minute to lead NYCFC to a 2-0 home victory in Sunday's first-round clash against Atlanta United at Yankee Stadium.
El Apertura 2021 es historia para Chivas. Y no de la buena.
La escuadra dirigida por Michel Leaño cayó ante Puebla, en la ronda de repechaje y a través de una dramática tanda de lanzamientos penales. La derrota, obviamente, desató los lamentos entre los Chivahermanos, a la vez que fanáticos de otros equipos recordaron el célebre meme "Ya, Gonzalo".
Sunday’s Intercontinental Derby between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe featured two sides that are struggling to keep pace with the top of the Süper Lig, but it’s always a monumental occasion when the European side of Istanbul clashes with the Asian.
The scene at Galatasaray’s NEF Stadium was electric before kick-off, with players entering the pitch to one of this season’s greatest tifos. If there’s a contest going on without a reference to Squid Game these days, did a contest really even take place?
MANCHESTER, England - Manchester City moved back to second in the Premier League after a stylish 3-0 win over Everton at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday as Pep Guardiola's side responded to convincing Chelsea and Liverpool wins with a reminder of their class.
Champions City dominated possession from the start against an Everton side that struggled to get a foothold in the game, but created few real openings in the opening half hour.
Chelsea kept pace with Arsenal at the top of the Women’s Super League (the two sides will clash on Dec. 5 in the FA Women’s Cup final at Wembley) by destroy second-to-last Birmingham City on Sunday in an entirely one-sided game.
Chelsea controlled 76% possession and outshot the visitors 25 to two at Kingsmeadow, with Sam Kerr scoring a first-half hat trick and providing one assist while Fran Kirby recorded a brace.
The pick of the goals was scored in the fourth-minute by Kirby, who saw the keeper off her line and provided a delicate chip from 18 yards out.
The 2021 MLS Cup Playoffs began this weekend, rendering all other sports and leagues entirely meaningless over the next two weeks. If the snob in you says “no, I want to watch Liverpool stick four past Arsenal” or the masochist points you in the general direction of the Detroit Lions, let Saturday’s opening two games serve as a lesson.
Ignacio Jeraldino llegó a Santos Laguna en diciembre de 2020 con una maleta llena de ilusiones. Luego de un mal paso por el Atlas, el delantero chileno apostaba que el cambio de aires sería perfecto para demostrar sus capacidades goleadoras.
Cada cambio es para mejor ⚽️

Athletico Paranaense se coronó campeón de la Copa Sudamericana por segunda vez en su historia, luego de vencer en la final 2021 a Red Bull Bragantino.
La emoción de los jugadores del Furacão por el título era palpable, pero ninguna más profunda que la de Renato Kayser. El delantero, que había salido lesionado en el minuto 75 por problemas musculares, olvidó los dolores y apenas sonó el silbato final se metió al campo con una bandera del club y comenzó a dar una vuelta olímpica sobre sus rodillas.
PARIS — Lionel Messi scored his first Ligue 1 goal as Paris Saint-Germain opened a 13-point lead in Ligue 1 despite playing almost half an hour with 10 men in a 3-1 home win against Nantes on Saturday.
Messi found the back of the net with a curled left-footed effort from outside the box three minutes from time, adding to Dennis Appiah's own goal after Randal Kolo Muani had cancelled out Kylian Mbappe's first-half opener.
Cinco partidos, 416 minutos o 19 tiros al arco. Cualquiera sea la medida, eso es lo que le costó a Lionel Messi convertir su primer gol defendiendo al PSG en la Ligue 1 de Francia.
La Pulga ya había anotado por los parisinos en Champions League, pero su estreno en las redes locales continuaba siéndole esquivo. Tanto que varios comenzaban a poner en duda su fichaje. "Se está marchitando", llegó a decir incluso el periódico Le Parisien.
No obstante, este sábado, Messi cortó la mala racha, sellando la victoria por 3-1 sobre el Nantes.
