Napoli cruised into the Coppa Italia semifinals with a 4-2 win over Spezia on Thursday, taking a 4-0 lead into halftime. The Chucky Lozano goal vs Spezia pretty much summed up the first half for the Serie A newcomers.
Kalidou Koulibaly opened the scoring with a cheeky backheel in the fifth minute after Spezia’s defense simply gave up on the play.
It was merely a sign of things to come for the Little Eagles.
FIFA will aim to announce in the last quarter of 2021 the host cities for the 2026 World Cup being jointly staged by the United States, Canada and Mexico, soccer's world governing body said in a statement on Tuesday.
Agarrar tu teléfono, desbloquearlo y abrir la aplicación del cronómetro toma más de 8,95 segundos. Es un hecho. El proceso descrito tarda más y sirve para medir el tiempo que necesitó Hirving Lozano en marcar el gol más rápido en la historia del Napoli.
Sí, incluso más rápido que el récord de 9,58 segundos que tiene Usain Bolt en los 100 metros planos.
Este hombre acaba de marcar: ⚽️
Hellas Verona came from behind to stun Napoli with a 3-1 home win on Sunday despite Hirving Lozano having scored the visitors’ fastest-ever Serie A goal after nine seconds.
There are shocking injuries and there are freak injuries. And then there are shocking freak injuries, as was the case with this horrifying Liga MX knee injury on Friday night.
Necaxa defeated Atlético San Luis 1-0 despite going down to 10 men early in the second half, with Ian González netting a 90th-minute penalty for the home side. The match was marred by an injury to Unai Bilbao, Necaxa’s Spanish center back.
From living a total “nightmare” to being closely monitored by Manchester United, what a difference six months can make. On Wednesday, Hirving “Chucky” Lozano went full circle by providing an influential performance in Napoli’s Coppa Italia Round of 16 win over Empoli.
Liga MX returned this past weekend with Club América securing all three points thanks to Sebastián Córdova’s dramatic winner against Atlético San Luis. After an unkind finish to 2020 — including defeats to Chivas in the Apertura quarterfinals and LAFC in the CONCACAF Champions League semifinals — América is looking to rejuvenate itself through new manager Santiago Solari.
La era de Santiago Solari al mando del Club América comenzó con un triunfo. Dura, apretada y difícil, pero una victoria al fin y al cabo. Fue un 2-1 sobre el Atlético de San Luis, conseguido gracias a una genialidad de Sebastián Córdova y una espléndida actuación de Guillermo Ochoa cuidando el arco de Las Águilas.
27 days later… it’s time to do it all again. The Apertura season was one of the highlights of quarantine life — Pumas’ four-goal comeback on Cruz Azul might eventually represent my only lasting memory of 2020 — and the Clausura (again renamed “Torneo Guardianes” to honor healthcare workers) promises more of the same beginning on Friday, January 8.
Cuando uno sueña con un gol, generalmente es de chilena, pasándose a todos los rivales o clavándola al ángulo con una volea. Raramente, o más bien nunca, el sueño es un gol feo, uno que viene después de una ensalada de rebotes como el que el mexicano Hirving Chucky Lozano convirtió en la victoria 4-1 del Napoli en su visita a Cagliari.
Pero bueno, igual valen e igual se celebran.
