There were incredible scenes in the Championship play-offs yesterday. Deep into injury time, Leicester appeared to be heading to Wembley ahead of Watford. With the score at 2-2 on aggregates, the Foxes were already going through on away goals when they were awarded a penalty. Goalkeeper Manuel Almunia pulled off an incredible double save from [.

from injury. Vučkić himself came on as an early substitute for the injured Ryan Taylor in the
eleventh minute and made [.
Man U needed only the 1st half as they dominated Fulham. Fulham for their part scored an early
3rd minute goal by Duff and were gifted by an own goal from Vidic to keep an otherwise lopsided
game resembling some decency. Man U win, 3-2. Video: futboll.it
Highlights from Newcastle united's Europa League first leg qualifying tie against the Bubble and

fantastic free kick from Ryan Taylor on the [.

szólj hozzá: Tottenham vs West Brom 1:1 GOALS HIGHLIGHTS
West Brom keeper Ben Foster done his England chances no harm at all in front of the current
England manager Roy Hodgson but could do nothing about Benoit Assou-Ekotto's deflected strike from
range.
West Brom did grab a point though scoring a last minute goal after a goal-line scramble, James
Morrison kept cool to put the ball in the back of the net much to the disappointment to Spurs
fans.
Two weeks ago, Futbolita covered Manchester City on tour and caught up with their star striker and
possibly the worst football-singer in the world, Sergio "El Kun" Aguero.
It's true what we'd been speculating all along you could really ask Kun anything about Maradona,
terrible hotel food, advise for kids and his feelings about being forced to learn English, and he'd
either give you a brilliant answer or an equally humorous reaction.
After having everything last weekend go the Chicago Fire's way playoff wise, it'd be pretty
unlikely for the same thing to happen twice in a row. Indeed, not everything went the Fire's way,
but it wasn't necessary. The Fire got the job done this weekend and are totally in control of their
own destiny.
NEWTON, Mass. Derek McCaffrey's 55th minute goal was all Boston University needed to grab a 1-0
victory over 14th ranked Boston College at BC's Newton Campus Field on Monday evening.
The Eagles (1-1-0) looked a bit out of sorts offensively with star striker Charlie Rugg still
out due to injury and midfielder Kyle Bekker making his return, but still not at 100% after
recovering from an injury of his own.

in Chicago. (Photo: Kari Heistad/CapturedImages.biz)
Fernando Cardenas' 11th minute goal put an end to the New England Revolution's 269 minute
scoreless streak, but unfortunately for the Revs it was sandwiched between two goals for the
Chicago Fire in a 2-1 loss at Toyota Park on Saturday night.
BRIDGEVIEW, IL- On a night when the Chicago Fire needed a result badly to keep their playoff
prospects strong, Patrick Nyarko helped deliver a dream start.
The rest of Nyarko's FIre teammates saw to it that the perfect start culminated in the ideal
result.
If Alejandro Bedoya and Helsingborg are to reach the UEFA Champions League group stage, they'll
need to pull off an inspired road performance.
The Swedish champions conceded a second-minute goal to Kris Commons that set the tone for
Celtic's 2-0 victory in the first leg of their final qualifying round tie, one that happened on
Helsingborg's home ground.
Sporting K.C. midfielder Paulo Nagamura converted a controversial second chance at his club's
final penalty to help break Seattle's three-year grip on the U.S. Open Cup win a 1-1 win (3-2
on penalties) in Wednesday's final at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park.
Nagamura, whose first attempt was stopped by Michael Gspurning on the right post, was handed a
do-over by the referee after it was ruled that Seattle's keeper came off his line early.
Herculez Gomez started and played 76 minutes for Santos Laguna in an away win in the CONCACAF
Champions League group stage. Santos led from the 49th minute when Darwin Quintero scored. Toronto
equalized through Quincy Amarikwa in the 68th, but Santos scored twice in stoppage time to take the
game. Daniel Luduena got a 90th minute goal and Candido Ramirez added Santos Laguna's third in the
92nd.
The Houston Dynamo had little trouble adding three more points to their CONCACAF Champions League
group stage total at the expense of CD FAS at the Estadio Custcatlan. Brian Ching opened the
scoring for Houston in the 12th minute with Cam Weaver doubling the lead seven minutes later.
Je-Vaughn Watson made it 3-0 in the 60th minute.
In what was supposed to be a must-win scenario for the Philadelphia Union on Sunday night at RFK
Stadium, the points were split and the angst was raised. Brian Carroll opened the scoring for the
Union in the 8th minute, and Philadelphia put the ball in the back of their own net in the 71st. DC
thought they had already equalized, but the referee called off a 64th minute goal.
The New England Revolution are in free-fall mode at the moment. The 2-1 loss in Chicago last
night, extended the club's winless streak to seven games (0-6-1) dating back to early July. The
streak is the team's longest since going seven games winless from July 23 through Sept. 7, 2011
(0-2-5).
The USA unfurled a banner after the China match to thank the people of Hiroshima who were so
kind and helpful during the team's stay
The U.S. WNT drew 1-1 with China in its second Group D match at the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World
Cup on Aug. 23 which was not the result the young Americans wanted, but it still put the team in
prime position to advance to the quarterfinals.
The USWNT defeated Japan 2-1 today to become gold medal champions in the
Olympics for third consecutive time and fourth time overall. Earlier in the day, Canada beat France
1-0 with a late stoppage time goal from Diana Matheson, earning them the bronze medal in the
tournament.
It was just a friendly, both sides left out key players and the intimidating Estadio Azteca had
a lot of empty seats, but the U.S. still beat Mexico 1-0 for a surprising and historic first ever
win in Mexico. In 24 previous matches over the course of a bitter and often violent 75-year
rivalry, the U.
The United States had a workman-like victory over New Zealand on Friday. Not the blowout that
was expected, but, still enough to get the job done. The game was scoreless through 25 minutes,
partly thanks to New Zealand's moxie and partly thanks to the U.
While the absence of Rangers FC may be hard to fathom, the Scottish Premier League nevertheless
got underway on Saturday as all twelve teams were in action on the first weekend of the SPL
season.
Celtic, now heavy favorites in Scotland with their rivals banished to the fourth division,
opened their 2012-13 campaign with a win as a 79th minute goal from Kris Commons was enough for a
1-0 victory over Aberdeen.
In yet another match that was more about defense than anything else, the USWNT breezed by yet
another team on their quest for Olympic gold. The victim this time around? New Zealand. Very
similar to the previous match against North Korea, the US Women would only need one goal (they
would get 2) to win this one, letting the defense do most of the work during the run of play at
St.
Tottenham progressed in the Europa League in dramatic fashion after a late strike from Moussa Dembele. Andre Villas Boas' side were on the verge of being knocked out on away goals by Lyon. But former Fulham man Dembele fired in a brilliant 90th minute effort to make it 1-1 on the night. Spurs went through [.
The sixth ranked Boston College Eagles drew 2-2 with University of Central Florida on Sunday at
BC's Newton Soccer Field. Kristen Mewis and Kate McCarthy scored for BC in the draw.

(5-1-1).
Mewis gave BC the lead at halftime with a 17th minute goal.
The woeful Portland Timbers proved once again to be the salve to whatever ails the Colorado
Rapids.
The Timbers came to Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City on Wednesday night and fell flat
in a 3-0 drubbing. This scoreline was the same as the one that Portland suffered when last visiting
Colorado at the end of June, and came five days after the Timbers beat the Rapids 1-0 in
Portland.
The New York Red Bulls went into Livestrong Sporting Park hoping to pull off an upset and grab
first place in the Eastern Conference back from Sporting Kansas City.
They fell short of that goal, but still came away with a result that keeps them very much in
position to potentially catching Sporting KC further down the road.
