Ángel Correa scored twice for Tigres in their 2-1 win against San Diego FC in the Leagues Cup.
Correa has made it four goals in two Leagues Cup matches, scoring twice in their win. With the score at 0-0, there was an effort on goal which was saved by the goalkeeper but Correa got to the rebound, dribbling around the goalkeeper and scoring to give Tigres the 1-0 lead.
San Diego FC would draw level but once more, it was Correa with a goal. The Argentine would receive the ball inside the penalty area and his effort on goal beat the goalkeeper to give Tigres the 2-1 lead.

Rodrigo De Paul spoke at a press conference about joining Inter Miami, the Argentina national team and playing with Lionel Messi.
De Paul signed with Inter Miami from Atletico Madrid and took part in their 2-1 win against Atlas. The Argentine spoke at a press conference about speaking with Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni. Here is what he had to say:
“I spoke to him and I was very clear about what he needed from me in order to continue being part of the Argentina National Team project, which has given us so much joy.
“He was very simple with me, understanding that we have lived together for many years and he told me: ‘I know what you can give on the field, I know who you are, the only thing I am going to evaluate is what you do on the field’.Those words were what I needed to make the decision.”
He was also askee about playing in the MLS at 31 years of age:
“I’m not sure what the future holds, but I did have offers to stay in Europe. Coming to MLS was a personal and bold decision. I’ve always wanted to experience this league and lifestyle. With Leo’s arrival, the league’s visibility has grown massively. Inter is making history—and I want to be part of that.
“Honestly, I’m very happy — and so is my family. Living in Miami always felt like a dream, and now we’re living it. The transition was smooth, the city is beautiful, and I feel refreshed and hungry to make history with Inter.”
About playing with Lionel Messi:
“With Leo we always had the dream, the desire to play together in a club, to share every day. Every time we met with the National Team, the day-to-day was incredible.”
“I wanted to feel that feeling of playing every day with the best of them all. It was a dream we were always going around chatting about.
“The situation came about, it wasn’t sought after. I had a contract with Atlético Madrid, but the dream was there.”
On playing 90 minutes vs. Atlas:
“Masche asked me how long I could go, and I told him, ‘As long as you need.’ [laughs] I ended up playing the full 90! That’s just how I am—I train hard in the off-season, so the gap without games doesn’t affect me much.”
Lionel Messi could renew his contract with Inter Miami until 2028.
Messi has received an offer to renew with the club for three more years. According to Tot Costa, the Argentine is set to renew with Inter Miami until 2028, despite interest from abroad.
The 38 year old signed with Inter Miami in 2023 from Paris Saint-Germain, lifting the Leagues Cup and the Supporters’ Shield.
Nicolás Otamendi, Enzo Barrenechea, and Gianluca Prestianni were all part of Benfica’s 1-0 victory over Sporting CP, as the club claimed the 2025 Portuguese Super Cup (Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira).
Otamendi, wearing the captain’s armband, played the full 90 minutes and lifted his sixth Portuguese Super Cup and fourth title with Benfica. It was also the 27th trophy of his professional career. Barrenechea made his official debut, while Prestianni came off the bench in the second half as the Lisbon side kicked off the season with silverware.
Greek striker Vangelis Pavlidis scored the match’s only goal in the 50th minute at Estádio do Algarve, seizing on a loose ball in the box. The win marked a strong start to the post-Di María era under coach Bruno Lage, with new signings like Richard Ríos also making their debut.
Benfica now holds 10 Super Cup titles, surpassing Sporting’s 9, though still behind FC Porto’s 24.
