Haiti put on a literal “lights out” performance against Nicaragua in Concacaf World Cup qualifying on Thursday with a resounding 3-0 victory. The game saw a temporary suspension in the first half when the lights at the Nicaragua National Football Stadium went out.

In the 29th minute heavy rain and an electrical malfunction saw Thursday’s game go pitch-black in a matter of seconds.

The art of the sweeper keeper has been nearly perfected by Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, but on Thursday Barcelona's Joan García proved that the role is harder than it looks.

In the 33rd minute García came way out of his box to stop a Real Oviedo attack. The 24-year-old did well to intercept and control the ball… but then he passed it right to an Oviedo player.

Aug. 18 (Reuters) - Joy turned to pain in an instant for Nottingham Forest goalkeeping coach Rui Barbosa, whose celebration of Chris Wood's opener against Brentford ended with six stitches and a dizzy spell for him in their first Premier League game of the new season.

Wood's fifth-minute goal, poked home following a corner, sparked jubilant scenes in the Forest dugout at the City Ground. However, Barbosa's enthusiasm turned painful when he smacked his head on the dugout during the celebrations.

In 1985 the great philosophers of The Power Station once uttered the iconic tune and phrase “Some Like It Hot.” It’s become increasingly evident that they were not talking about Europeans.

The 2025 Club World Cup has a clear theme following the group stage. The Europeans love to complain about the American heat.

Bundesliga sides Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund pulled an unprecedented strategy of leaving their substitutes in the locker rooms for the first half so their players didn’t have to be outside.

UEFA has apologized  for running out of winners medals during the Europa League final trophy ceremony on Wednesday after more Tottenham Hotspur players than expected lined up to receive their individual prizes.

MANCHESTER — Manchester City gave Kevin De Bruyne a victory in his final appearance at Etihad Stadium, as Omar Marmoush, Bernardo Silva and Nico Gonzalez scored in a 3-1 Premier League win over Bournemouth on Tuesday that saw them climb to third in the table.

The night belonged to captain De Bruyne, who played an emotional final game at Etihad Stadium after an illustrious 10-year career for City.

The Belgian, however, had a ridiculous first-half miss, hammering Marmoush's cross off the underside of the crossbar from close range and then holding his head in disbelief.
