Sacramento Republic FC might have the coldest soccer player in the world on its team. Ice runs through this man’s veins and he fears nothing. If you don’t believe me then one look at this Maalique Foster penalty kick vs. Sporting KC in the U.S. Open Cup semifinal might change your mind.
Let’s set the stage really quick.
After what felt like an ever-lasting saga of back and forth between Dani Alves and Pumas, the Brazilian finally signed and played his first game for the Mexican club on Wednesday night.
The deal to bring the 39-year-old to Liga MX was sealed last week and Alves was presented to fans last Saturday, but due to fitness concerns, the carioca was ruled out of Pumas' match against Pachuca on July 24 that resulted in a goalless draw.
England reached the final hurdle in its quest for a first European Championship after defeating Sweden 4-0 Tuesday at Bramall Lane in Sheffield. Goals from Beth Mead, Lucy Bronze, Alessia Russo and Fran Kirby punched the Lionesses ticket to the final Sunday at Wembley, where they'll meet the winner of Wednesday's match between Germany and France.
Barcelona put on a show Tuesday night against an obliging Inter Miami at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Raphinha, Ansu Fati, Gavi, Memphis Depay and Ousmane Dembélé scoring in a 6-0 result, although the real story was surely Romeo Beckham's senior debut for dad's team.
You probably didn't get up today thinking about the Cambodian League 2, but a ludicrous goal from Brazilian forward Bruno Wellington Krenkel will make you spare it a few seconds.
A 23-year-old globetrotter, Bruno landed last February in the Cambodian side Next Step FC after short stints in Malta and Thailand. Although the team is not doing fantastic, the talented Brazilian has started to show the magic that lives on his feet.
A fairly unassuming weeknight MLS match between the cellar-dwelling Chicago Fire and Toronto FC proved to be anything but on Wednesday night. Chicago took care of business at home thanks to a pair of goals by 18-year-old Colombian Jhon Durán, the second of which has garnered much attention thanks to a spectacular assist.
Amidst the failed performances of the women's national team in the Concacaf W Championship, Liga MX Femenil started a new tournament this weekend. And the top highlight of week one was a filthy backheel goal from Querétaro forward Edna Santamaría.
Santos Laguna won the match 4-3 in a very entertaining game, but the conversation revolved around Santamaría's mischievous touch.
Todos hemos soñado – durmiendo o despiertos – con hacer un gol fantástico en el último minuto de juego, pero pocos tienen en el privilegio de convertir esos sueños en una realidad. Y uno de esos bendecidos por la diosa fortuna es el brasileño Everaldo, un jugador que en el pasado anduvo por la Liga MX, y que este miércoles anotó en la J1 League de Japón uno de los goles más espectaculares y agónicos de su carrera.
Tanto que debiera cerrarse la competencia del Puskás 2022 para darle el premio ahorita. Sin discusión.
Desde su llegada al fútbol mexicano en 2013, Avilés Hurtado ha ido poco a poco perfeccionando el arte de la chilena. El colombiano ha anotado cinco de sus 66 goles en Liga MX, a través de este acrobático metódo, siendo el último la conquista que este lunes selló la victoria de Pachuca por 2-0 sobre el Querétaro.
Antes del inicio del Apertura 2022, Tigres unió a sus planteles varonil y femenil para una jornada de exhibición junto a sus fans en el Estadio Universitario. Hubo fotos oficiales, presentación de los nuevos jerseys del club y un par de cascaritas mixtas coronadas por un increíble gol de Nahuel Guzmán, arquero felino.
