PARIS - Paris Saint-Germain continued their march towards a record-equalling 10th French title when goals by Neymar and Kylian Mbappé earned them a 2-1 home victory against bitter rivals Marseille on Sunday.
Neymar's early opener for PSG was cancelled out by Duje Ćaleta Car before Mbappé's penalty sealed the win and put PSG on 74 points.
Chivas ganó su primer partido desde el despido de Marcelo Michel Leaño. Fue un 0-1 de visita ante Cruz Azul, en un partido que en todo caso no será recordado por el marcador, sino que por la salida de cadena de Alexis Vega, quien terminó siendo expulsado al tratar de ahorcar al uruguayo Octavio Rivero.
La jugada en cuestión ocurrió en el minuto 71, cuando Rivero se barrió de manera impetuosa para detener un avance de Vega. La entrada fue limpia, pero con el impulso Vega terminó yendo a tierra.

Juventus’ hopes as dark horse title challengers in Serie A took a blow today as the Italian giants dropped points at home to 13th-placed Bologna on Saturday. Juventus will be disappointed in drawing Bologna 1-1, but it could’ve been worse as a 95th minute equalizer from Dusan Vlahovic salvaged a point for the Old Lady.
Vlahovic’s late goal was one of the rare times where the assist was better than the goal itself. Check out this Álvaro Morata bicycle kick assist.
Liverpool had a comfortable 90 minutes at Wembley Stadium on Saturday in the FA Cup semifinal vs. Manchester City. The final four minutes of stoppage time weren’t so comfortable as a late City push made for an exciting 3-2 finale victory for Liverpool.
American goalkeeper Zack Steffen can be given a lot of credit for making Liverpool’s afternoon so easy. Steffen had a disastrous first half that saw him concede three goals including an all-time blunder.
MANCHESTER — Cristiano Ronaldo's 50th club career hat-trick and second Premier League treble of the season earned below-par Manchester United a 3-2 victory over Norwich City on Saturday.
With Tottenham Hotspur losing 1-0 at home to Brighton & Hove Albion earlier on Saturday, the door was open for United to close in on the Champions League qualification places with victory over bottom side Norwich and they just about took advantage.
American goalkeeper Zack Steffen had an all-time fail in the FA Cup semifinal vs. Liverpool to give the Reds a 2-0 lead early in the game.

M’Bala Nzola has been defeated by an earring.
The 25-year-old Spezia forward enjoyed a brief 10-minute cameo during a 3-1 defeat to Inter Milan on Friday. The Angola international was subbed on in the 60th minute. Soon thereafter, the referee spotted he wearing earrings and told the player to take them off. By the 70th minute, Nzola was subbed off, apparently unable to remove his earrings. It was Spezia’s fifth and final substitution of the night.
Burnley sacked manager Sean Dyche, the Premier League club said on Friday, ahead of a tight end-of-season run-in as it looks to avoid relegation.
Burnley has struggled this season and sits in 18th place in the standings, four points from the safety zone. But the decision was unexpected, given Dyche's track record of maintaining the Lancashire club's status in the top division on a relatively modest budget.
He was the longest-serving English top flight manager having been in charge for nine-and-a-half years.
