Published 6 months, 1 week ago
Description
Leagues Cup quarterfinals, with Inter Miami, Orlando City, LA Galaxy, and Seattle Sounders all punching their tickets to the semifinals. In the Concacaf W Champions Cup, Gotham FC opened their title defense with a gritty win over Monterrey.
But in Argentina, the Copa Sudamericana descended into chaos. The second leg between Independiente and Universidad de Chile was abandoned after shocking violence in the stands, another black mark on CONMEBOL’s track record of mismanagement and poor security. We break down the fallout, the political responses in Chile, and what this could mean for the competition moving forward.
Plus, transfer drama in Europe continues with the Alexander Isak saga at Newcastle, Arsenal hijacking Spurs for Eberechi Eze, and MLS teams pushing deals to the wire before the window closes.
