A Hamburg goalkeeper own goal is going viral after shot stopper Daniel Fernandes and his defense had a complete meltdown in front of goal.
Let’s set the scene real quick. Friday’s game was a derby between Hamburg and St. Pauli, the two big clubs in Hamburg and the top two sides in the 2. Bundesliga. Friday’s game was for more than cross-town bragging rights as a win for Hamburg would tie them on points for the No. 1 spot.
In a game that big you think the players would be locked in. This Hamburg goalkeeper own goal in the 27th minute would make you think otherwise.
Fans of Scottish club Aberdeen landed themselves in trouble Thursday night after they kept throwing snowballs at HJK’s goalkeeper during a Europa Conference League game.
The game was played in Helsinki, Finland, and it was a brutally cold contest with the snow coming down and temperatures in the low 20s.
Aberdeen fans weren’t on their best behavior and with their team trailing 2-1 in the second half, they decided to entertain themselves with some target practice.
LONDON — Measures to improve player behavior and increase respect for match officials were supported at the law-making International Football Association Board (IFAB) annual meeting on Tuesday.
A proposed trial whereby only the team captain may approach the referee in certain game situations was backed and it was also agreed that temporary dismissals for dissent and specific tactical offences should be trialled at higher levels.
Sin bins (similar to hockey's penalty box) have already had a successful implementation in grassroots football.
Barcelona drew Rayo Vallecano 1-1 on Saturday and a moment from the game many fans are talking about was seeing Robert Lewandowski thrown to the ground.
The game was a feisty one that saw several hard tackles and a total of seven yellow cards given out between the two teams. There arguably should’ve been an eighth yellow or possibly a red card for Rayo Vallecano’s Florian Lejeune.
During the game Lejeune and Lewandowski clearly weren’t getting along. When the ball was away from the two players, Lejeune threw the Polish striker to the ground.
Soccer and music fans were incredibly confused when “K. De Bruyne” appeared as one of the written credits on Drake’s new song “Wick Man.” Did Kevin De Bruyne write a Drake song?
While the crossover would be amazing, the Belgian spoke on social media joking that Drake needed his assistance. After all, who better in the world is there for an assist?
Chelsea manager Emma Hayes said her side were robbed of a win against Real Madrid in their Champions League opener after the Women's Super League (WSL) champions had to settle for a 2-2 draw on Wednesday following two controversial decisions.
Niamh Charles put Chelsea level after Olga Carmona's 10th-minute goal for the hosts, with Sam Kerr doubling Chelsea's lead in the second half, only for Madrid to be awarded a controversial penalty, which was converted by Carmona.
Chelsea's fury was heightened after an added-time winner from Charles was ruled out for offside.
Former Premier League soccer goalkeeper Petr Cech has joined ice hockey champions Belfast Giants on loan from Oxford City Stars as temporary emergency cover, the top-tier side said on Wednesday.
Former Chelsea goalkeeping legend PETR CECH has completed a different sort of transfer, joining Irish ice hockey side Belfast Giants on loan from Oxford City Stars.
Goalkeepers of the game are often understood as the less technical and skillful players on the field, as their main duty is to use their hands to stop the opposing team from putting the ball in the back of their net.
However, a goalkeeper in Portugal threw the stereotypical script out the window and pulled off one of the most disrespectful nutmegs we’ve ever seen.
He might be him.
Peruvian club Universitario celebrated their Liga 1 title in the dark on Wednesday after their opponents Alianza Lima shut the stadium lights off at the full-time whistle. The Peru club turns off lights and called it a season.
Universitario defeated rivals Alianza Lima 2-0 to win the Peruvian league.
But at the full time whistle, Alianza turned off the stadium lights on them
