LONDON - The flickering embers of Arsenal's Premier League title dream were all but extinguished as they suffered a 3-0 home drubbing by Europe-chasing Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday.
With relentless Manchester City winning at Everton in the earlier kickoff to move four points clear, long-time league leaders Arsenal knew only a victory would suffice.
In front of a record crowd of 77,390 at Wembley, Chelsea lifted the Women's FA Cup for the third successive time after Sam Kerr's goal in the 68th-minute gave the Blues a 1-0 victory over Manchester United.
The Red Devils, in their fifth year of existence, are left chasing their first major piece of silverware, and it's Kerr who crushed their dreams on Sunday and who's also put United to the sword in league play (scoring in both WSL fixtures between the sides this season).
América está entre los cuatro mejores equipos del Clausura 2023. Las Águilas se deshicieron de Atlético de San Luis, en una serie que parecía superada sin contratiempos, pero que acabó siendo más espinuda de lo presupuestado.
Luego de conseguir un cómodo 3-1 en la ida, América solo necesitaba timbrar los papeles de su clasificación en el Azteca. Sin embargo, el equipo potosino los hizo pasar un buen susto.
Manchester City took a massive step on its journey to a third straight Premier League title by beating relegation-threatened Everton 3-0 at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon.
City midfielder İlkay Gündoğan was man of the match after scoring a stunning opener in the 37th-minute before setting up Erling Haaland for a header just two minutes later. Then, six minutes into the second half, Gündoğan curled home a right-footed free kick beyond the despairing dive of Jordan Pickford to secure all three points for City.
With only the two finalists qualifying for the 2023 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in Dubai, Saturday's two semifinals at the Concacaf Beach Soccer Championship in Nassau were do-or-die clashes pitting four-time champion Mexico against host nation the Bahamas while the United States played El Salvador in a rematch of the 2021 final (won by La Selecta).
Union Berlin grabbed three massive points on Saturday in their 4-2 victory vs. Freiburg as the Bundesliga underdogs look to secure a spot in the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history. Two goals from Sheraldo “Spider-Man” Becker helped get the job done.
In the 36th minute with Union Berlin leading 1-0, Becker doubled the lead by sneaking his shot through the goalkeeper’s legs. For his celebration he whipped out a Spider-Man mask from his pants and then struggled to put it on his head.
LEEDS — Defender Rasmus Kristensen scored a late equalizer to give Leeds United a share of the points in a thrilling Premier League 2-2 draw with Newcastle United that saw Leeds miss one spot kick, concede two more and have a man sent off in stoppage time.
Leeds are still in the relegation zone but move up one spot to 18th on 31 points, one point behind Everton in 17th, while Newcastle remain third in the table on 66 points, three ahead of Manchester United and four ahead of Liverpool.
Tigres está de vuelta. Quizás. O al menos lo estuvo en el duelo de ida de los cuartos de final del Clausura 2023, luego de vencer a Toluca por 4-1, en una jornada de alegría que hace mucho no se veía en El Volcán y que vio a Diego Lainez y Sebastián Córdova finalmente siendo las figuras que los aficionados felinos esperan.
Sí, Lainez y Córdova. No es una fantasía.
It's not weird to see two teammates discussing who'll take a penalty despite coaches having a pecking order. However, it's not common to witness scenes like the one starring Cruzeiro players Bruno Rodrigues and Henrique Dourado that ended up with the taker missing from the spot not once, but twice on Wednesday night.
El sueño de la 14 comenzó con sabor medianamente dulce para el América. Las Águilas vencieron de visita al Atlético de San Luis por 3-1 y tienen un ala dentro de las semifinales del Clausura 2023.
¿Qué evitó que fuera una noche perfecta? La expulsión de Israel Reyes y que dos de sus estrellas, Álvaro Fidalgo y Henry Martín, terminaron en el hospital y son duda para el duelo de revancha.
América entró al Alfonso Lastras en modo jogo bonito.
