Juan FOYTH scores debut goal for Tottenham Hotspur vs. Crystal Palace

After giving away two penalties last week, Juan FOYTH played hero in Tottenham’s 1-0 victory against Crystal Palace.

Selected by Argentina coach Lionel SCALONI for this month’s friendly matches against Mexico, Tottenham manager Mauricio POCHETTINO kept faith in the young defender and started him on Saturday. POCHETTINO’s faith paid dividends as the former Estudiantes defender scored the only goal of the match.

A header from close range was enough to give Tottenham the three points under the rain in London. Erik LAMELA was substituted off with a head injury as the number 11 was cut and bleeding from the head.

Superclasico Copa Libertadores could be delayed due to weather

Saturday’s first leg of the Copa Libertadores final involving Boca Juniors and River Plate could be delayed.

Rain has been hitting Buenos Aires lately and inspections are on going at La Bombonera. With the draining system not being the best at the stadium, COMMEBOL officials will investigate the pitch one last time ahead of kick off to see if the match will be played or not.

The big final is expected to kick off on Saturday afternoon, should it not be post poned.

Mauro ICARDI goal snatches Inter draw vs. Barcelona in Champions League

Mauro ICARDI scored for Inter in their 1-1 draw against FC Barcelona in the Champions league.

A goal which gave Inter a valuable point, the former Barcelona youth player managed to score from close range inside the area following work by Argentina team mate Lautaro MARTINEZ. This was also goal number three in four games for ICARDI in the Champions League, having previously been on the mark against Tottenham and PSV.

Lionel MESSI, who while did not take part in the match due to injury, did take a picture with Argentina and Inter legend Javier ZANETTI. The two were obviously also former team mates with the Argentina national team.
