Gonzalo HIGUAIN, Lionel MESSI and much more score

Gonzalo HIGUAIN, Lionel MESSI and many more Argentinians scored in Europe this weekend.

Beginning in Italy, Gonzalo HIGUAIN scored for Juventus as they dropped points for the first time this season in their 2-2 draw against Atalanta. HIGUAIN scored the first goal of the match and Paulo DYBALA missed a penalty which would have given the reigning Serie A champions the three points.

Still in Italy, Rodrigo DE PAUL and Maxi LOPEZ both scored twice in Udinese’s 4-0 victory against Sampdoria. Rodrigo DE PAUL scored the first goal off a penalty kick while Maxi LOPEZ scored the second goal of the match, also through a penalty kick. LOPEZ added the third before DE PAUL finished it by scoring goal number four.

Another goal scorer in Italy, it’s Giovanni Simeone scored for Fiorentina in their 2-1 loss to Chievo.

And in Italy still (last one), former Argentina international and nearly World Cup final hero Rodrigo PALACIO scored for Bologna as they won 1-0 against Genoa.

Moving over to Spain, Lionel MESSI scored twice in Barcelona’s 3-0 win against Las Palmas. Due to problems off the pitch in the streets, the match was played behind closed doors. Javier MASCHERANO and MESSI played the 90 minutes for the Catalan club while Jonathan CALLERI and CHICHIZOLA started for Las Palmas.

In France, former River Plate man Lucas OCAMPOS found the back of the net twice for Marseille in their 4-2 win against Nice.

Still in France, Emiliano SALA scored early in the third minute in Nantes 1-0 win against Metz.

Breaking: Sergio AGUERO in car crash, will miss WCQ

66

Some breaking news coming out late Thursday night (early Friday morning in Europe) that Sergio AGUERO has gotten into a car accident.

The Manchester City star was involved in a car accident after attending a Maluma concert in Holland. AGUERO has suffered broken ribs and very early reports have him out for two months. Apparently, one thing which really saved AGUERO was the fact that he had his seat belt on.

Sergio AGUERO was posting pictures and videos throughout the day on his Instagram page hanging out with Maluma and in Amsterdam. It goes without saying that AGUERO will miss Argentina’s upcoming World Cup Qualifying matches. Incredibly sad news and well wishes for AGUERO. Get well soon.

Emiliano RIGONI, HIGUAIN, GOMEZ and MUSACCHIO shine in Europe

Gonzalo HIGUAIN, Alejandro GOMEZ, Emiliano RIGONI and Mateo MUSACCHIO all scored in Europe for their clubs.

The Europa League saw three different Argentinian goalscorers. Beginning in Russia, it was a night to remember for Zenit’s five Argentinian players and a night to forget for Real Sociedad’s Geronimo RULLI. Emiliano RIGONI scored his first goal for his new club in Zenit’s 3-1 victory against Real Sociedad. RIGONI scored the first goal of the match in the 5th minute, a shot from outside the area which RULLI was unable to stop.

The second goal was definitely one which RULLI would like to have back. With a ball played close to his area, RULLI ran out to get it but the ball bounced and went over his head as KOKORIN quickly pounced onto the open net. Sebastian DRIUSSI had a header which hit the cross bar in the first half. All five Argentinians started for Zenit.

It was his first Champions League goal of the season but Gonzalo HIGUAIN is now off the mark. HIGUAIN scored the first in his team’s 2-0 win against Olympiacos. With that win, Juventus are now in second place in Group D behind Lionel MESSI and Javier MASCHERANO’s FC Barcelona after the latter won 0-1 away to Sporting.

Alejandro GOMEZ scored and was voted Man of the Match for Atalanta in their 1-1 draw away to Lyon. The French club took the lead in the 45th minute but Alejandro GOMEZ scored a fantastic free kick to draw level.

Just like Emiliano RIGONI, Mateo MUSACCHIO got his first goal in the Champions League for his new club as AC Milan picked up a 3-2 win against Rijeka. MUSACCHIO scored Milan’s second after puncing onto a free ball in the area and smashing it home.
