Valentín Carboni scored his first goal for Genoa in their 3-0 win against Vicenza.
Carboni got his first goal for his new club in their 3-0 win in the Coppa Italia. With the score at 0-0, Caricol would cross the ball into the penalty area and the Argentine would control the ball and score with his left foot to give Genoa the 1-0 lead.
The 20 year old would play 59 minutes in their win. Carboni joined Genoa on loan from Inter earlier this summer.
Paulo Gazzaniga was red carded for Girona in their 3-1 loss against Rayo Vallecano.
Gazzaniga had a horrific first match of the season for Girona. With the score at 0-0, the ball was played back to Gazzaniga and the goalkeeper had a poor touch of the ball, losing control and Jorge de Frutos would score to give Rayo the 1-0 lead.
At 1-0 for Rayo, it was a low pass out wide as Gazzaniga would stay on his line and the Girona back line was unable to get to it for Rayo’s second goal of the match.
The 33 year old would miss control the ball once more with Rayo leading by two goals. A pass to Gazzaniga and the Argentine had time to control it but he would once more miss control it, lose the ball and this time foul the player.
It would be a red card for the goalkeeper, a penalty for Rayo and they would go on to win 4-1 against Girona.
Alexis Mac Allister had an assist for Liverpool in their 4-2 win against Bournemouth.
Mac Allister was in the starting eleven for the Premier League champions in their first league match of the season. With the score at 0-0, Mac Allister played a pass in to Hugo Ekitike who scored to give Liverpool the 1-0 lead.
The 26 year old played 72 minutes before being substituted out. For Bournemouth, Marcos Senesi started while Julio Soler was an unused substitute.
Lionel Messi is set to make his return for Inter Miami after recovering from a muscle injury, head coach Javier Mascherano confirmed on Friday.
Messi had been sidelined since being forced off early in Inter Miami’s dramatic Leagues Cup shootout win over Fernando Gago’s Necaxa. His absence saw the team defeat Pumas 3-1 in the same competition but suffer a heavy 4-1 loss to rivals Orlando City in Major League Soccer.
“Leo is doing well. He’s been training with the team since Wednesday, and unless something unexpected happens in today’s session, he’ll be in the squad for tomorrow’s match,” Mascherano told reporters ahead of Saturday’s clash with LA Galaxy at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.
The coach also confirmed the return of Rodrigo De Paul, who had been away due to visa issues. “Rodrigo joins today. The process took a bit longer than expected, but he’ll be in the squad,” Mascherano said.
Mascherano addressed the recent departure of midfielder Federico Redondo to Spain’s Elche, admitting the move came together quickly. “He wanted the opportunity, and things advanced fast. We’ve lost a few players, but we’ve also recovered some we couldn’t count on for a long time. The squad feels more balanced now, and if the right opportunity comes in the final week of the transfer window, we might add one more,” he concluded.
Messi’s return will be followed in both Miami and Argentina, with Scaloni looking to have him available for the next international window.
