I've been actively losing sleep due to feeling bad for Rennes defender Jeanuël Belocian. A freak Belocian own goal vs. Shakhtar Donetsk in the 119th minute of Thursday’s Europa League playoff match tied the aggregate score at 3-3 and sent the two teams to penalties.
Shakhtar would win the penalty shootout 5-4.
BIRMINGHAM — Arsenal reinvigorated their push for a first Premier League title in two decades and retook top spot on Saturday with a thrilling 4-2 win at Aston Villa thanks to two late goals.
With a pulsating and high-quality game going into added time at 2-2, Arsenal midfielder Jorginho saw his shot come off the bar and bounce off the head of Villa's Argentina World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez for a cruel own goal.
Champions Real Madrid suffered a shock 1-0 loss at Mallorca in LaLiga on Sunday thanks to a bizarre own goal by defender Nacho early in the first half.
Nacho left his teammates stunned as he tried to clear a cross in the 13th minute and headed the ball high over his own goalkeeper and into the net.

La Liga de Expansión tiene un nuevo monarca. Atlante venció a Celaya por 3-1 y se quedó con el título de la Apertura 2022.
El duelo por el título estuvo apretado y todo se decidió en tiempo extra, en gran parte por un tremendo infortunio del portero del Celaya, Guillermo Allison, quien acabaría convirtiendo un insólito gol en propia puerta.
The United States has never had a strong foothold in European soccer, much less the English Premier League. However, this year has seen a bit of shift — a revolution if you will — with Americans playing in England's first division at a tremendous rate. No team has made more waves than Leeds United.
American and Leeds United fans couldn’t have had a better Saturday as USMNT forward Brenden Aaronson grabbed a game-winner, sort of, in a 2-1 victory vs. Wolves. He and Tyler Adams looked great in their first Premier League game.
With the score tied at 1-1 late in the second half and Wolves looking the more threatening side, Leeds and manager Jesse Marsch needed something special.
A dangerous and precise pass from Adams got the move started for Leeds and then a cross from Patrick Bamford found Aaronson for the winner in the 74th minute.
Only three things are guaranteed in this life: death, taxes and Alexandra Popp scoring for Germany in the 2022 Euros.
Popp broke French hearts on Wednesday as she booked Germany’s spot in the 2022 UEFA Women’s Euro final with a brace to defeat France 2-1. Popp has scored in all five of Germany’s games this tournament with her goal tally at six.
América dio pelea, pero a fin de cuentas no pudo vencer a Chelsea en el primero de sus tres partidos amistosos ante rivales europeos en Estados Unidos.
Si bien el marcador fue estrecho (2-1), el duelo dejó en evidencia las diferencias que existen entre la Liga MX y la Premier League, tanto a nivel colectivo como a nivel individual. Y eso pese al autogol de los tres chiflados que favoreció temporalmente a las Águilas.
The Canadian Premier League has gone viral and perhaps entered the history books with the greatest miss of all time.
In a match between Valour FC and HFX Wanderers at IG Field in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Valour went on the attack in the 18th minute and looked to have the opening goal after Alessandro Riggi forced the ball under goalkeeper Christian Oxner.
Santi Giménez se metió de lleno en la pelea por un cupo en el Mundial de Catar 2022, luego de anotar uno de los goles con que la selección mexicana derrotó a Nigeria, en el comienzo de una serie de amistosos y partidos oficiales por la Nations League de Concacaf que tendrá el Tri en los próximos 15 días.
