Assists

A Christian Pulisic assist vs Real Madrid opened the scoring of AC Milan’s surprising 3-1 victory at the Santiago Bernabéu in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Christian Pulisic assisted Samuel Chukwueze for the lone goal in AC Milan’s 1-0 victory vs. Udinese on Saturday. 

The United States forward was the focal point of scrutiny from critics after leaving the national team’s October camp early to get extra rest. Pulisic received criticism from former USMNT players Alexi Lalas and Tim Howard earlier in the week for missing the friendly vs. Mexico.

Fulham striker, Raúl Jiménez, provided one of the best assists of the season to open the scoring against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

In the 25th minute, a cross into the box to Jiménez that saw the Mexican receive the ball with his back turned on goal, resulted in one of the most aesthetic moments you’ll see this Premier League season.

The Fulham No. 7 took the ball on the half volley and provided an outrageous backheel assist to Andreas Pereira.

Real Madrid survived a late scare as goals by Lucas Vazquez, Kylian Mbappé and Rodrygo gave them a 3-2 home win over Deportivo Alaves in LaLiga on Tuesday.

Carlos Benavidez and Kike Garcia scored in the 85th and 86th minutes for Alaves but Real held on to win a match they had mostly dominated.

Real doubled their lead in the 40th minute when Mbappé played a neat one-two with Jude Bellingham before cutting inside and slotting a tidy finish to the right of the goalkeeper.

United States men’s national team and Chivas forward Cade Cowell scored his first goal of the new Liga MX Apertura against Tijuana in style on Friday. 

While Chivas lost the game 4-2, Cowell was one of the few positives from the defeat as he netted a great solo goal and added a beautiful assist.

With Chivas trailing 2-0 in the second half, Cowell halved the deficit in the 69th minute after slipping past three defenders and beating the goalkeeper.

Cristiano Ronaldo could’ve made history as the first player to score in six different European Championships during Portugal’s 3-0 victory vs. Turkey on Saturday. Instead, he chose the selfless option to set up Bruno Fernandes.

With Portugal leading 2-0 early in the second half, Turkey’s defense broke down and Ronaldo was one-on-one with the goalkeeper. CR7 already has the title of first player to feature in six different Euros. He could now do the unimaginable and be the first player to score in six Euros.
