🎥 D.C. United bag their second stunning goal of 2025 with this gem
D.C. United have a penchant for hitting a worldie across the opening months of 2025 after the Eastern Conference outfit hit their second overhead kick of the season.
Brazilian forward João Peglow followed in the footsteps of Jacob Murrell's earlier stunning effort this season with one of his own to give DCU a temporary 2-0 lead on the road against NY Red Bulls.

Peglow arrived from Radomiak Radom before the start of 2025 but had yet to score a goal for the capital club before tonight, and it's safe to say he won't score a better goal before the end of the season.
Was this better than Murrell's? D.C. fans certainly take both!

Lionel Messi's Inter Miami and Egypt's Al Ahly battle to scoreless draw in Club World Cup opener
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Lionel Messi was denied on a long shot in extra time and Inter Miami and Egypt's Al Ahly settled for a scoreless draw in the opening game of the Club World Cup on Saturday night. Argentina's eight-time Ballon d'Or winner kicked a long, curling shot from the right side that was tipped by diving goalkeeper Mohamed Elshenawy and brushed off the crossbar in the 96th minute front of a crowd of more than 60,000 at Hard Rock Stadium. Messi also shaved the post with a free kick in the 60th minute in the second half. Miami had its own good fortune, surviving a first half onslaught by 12-time African champion Al Ahly, with goalkeeper Oscar Ustari saving a penalty from Trezeguet just before the break. Miami had to rely on veteran Argentine goalkeeper Ustari to keep the game level in the first half, with the 38-year-old pulling off a number of saves as Al Ahly dominated the chances. He produced a crucial double save just before halftime — blocking Trezeguet's 43rd-minute penalty and then getting up quickly to deny the forward again on the rebound. A draw leaves both teams with a battle to advance from Group A with tougher tests likely to come against Brazilian giant Palmeiras and Porto from Portugal. The top two advance to the round of 16. Miami can be encouraged by its performance in the second half after being dominated in the first half. Inter Miami had the better chances after the break, with Messi's free kick and curling long shot both hitting the woodwork. 'It was a good party for football. It's a new competition and the chance to play teams we don't play normally in our league, so it can be very good for us. You can prove what we can do.' – Javier Mascherano, Inter Miami coach. 'I'm disappointed with the result. We could have taken all three points. We respect Inter Miami and their big-name players, but we could've finished the game in the first half by scoring three or four goals.' -- Wessam Abou Ali, Ah Ahly forward. ___

Mixed results for Chicago soccer doubleheader at Soldier Field: Stars battle to 2-2 draw while Fire lose 2-0
Hany Mukhtar and Sam Surridge scored second-half goals and Joe Willis posted his fifth clean sheet of the season as Nashville blanked the Chicago Fire 2-0 on Saturday night at Soldier Field. It was the nightcap of an NWSL-MLS doubleheader on the lakefront, with the Chicago Stars earlier battling to a 2-2 draw with the Seattle Reign. Nashville's Mukhtar took a pass from substitute defender Andy Najor and found the net in the 56th minute to break a scoreless tie with his eighth goal of the season. Surridge gave Nashville a two-goal lead in the 75th minute with his 12th of the season — matching his career high set last year. Surridge trails the Philadelphia Union's Tai Baribo by a goal in the race for the Golden Boot Award. Willis finished with eight saves for Nashville (9-4-5) in his 72nd shutout over 278 career starts. Nashville improved to 3-3-2 on the road this season in climbing to third place in the Eastern Conference. Jeffrey Gal totaled one save in his second career start for the Fire (7-6-4), who are 1-2-4 at home this season. In the first game, Brazilian star Ludmila scored twice in 2:16 to give the Stars (1-8-3) a 2-0 lead in the 13th minute. That score held until the 87th minute, when Lynn Biyendolo's goal put the Reign (5-4-3) on the board followed by Jordyn Bugg's equalizer two minutes later.
