International football – Götze and Max shine in Eindhoven – Sport

Mario Götze and PSV Eindhoven keep up with the top duo Ajax Amsterdam and Vitesse Arnheim in the Dutch football championship. The table third won on Sunday evening in the home stadium against Willem II Tilburg 3-0 (2-0). Götze scored the 2-0 goal in the 21st minute and was replaced in the 74th minute. Philipp Max (14th) and Donyell Malen (82nd), who were appointed to the German national team for the first time, scored the other goals for the team of German trainer Roger Schmidt. After their sixth win of the season, Eindhoven is 19 points two points behind Amsterdam and Arnhem, who have the same points.

There was no winner in the Premier League top game between Manchester City and English football champions Liverpool FC. The two teams separated on Sunday after an entertaining, offensive game with 1: 1 (1: 1). Liverpool are in third place in the table after the 8th matchday. Mohamed Salah (13th minute) gave Liverpool the lead with a penalty kick after Sadio Mané was fouled in the penalty area by Kyle Walker. Gabriel Jesus (31st) compensated for the runner-up in the fast-paced first half, for whom things are not going well this season. The hosts should have taken the lead before half-time, but Kevin De Bruyne (42nd) shot a penalty to the left of the goal.

In addition to defense chief Virgil van Dijk, who will be out for a long time after his operation, Klopp also had to do without the former Bayern professional Thiago. Star striker Sergio Agüero was absent from Man City due to injury. On Sunday, Tottenham Hotspur had taken the lead with a late 1-0 (0-0) win at West Bromwich Albion, but was overtaken about two hours later by the new front-runners Leicester City, who beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 (1 : 0) defeated.

Werner meets again

Meanwhile, Chelsea FC has advanced to a Champions League spot with the again accurate German national player Timo Werner. Despite the absence of Werner’s national team colleague Kai Havertz due to an infection with the corona virus, the Blues celebrated their fourth competitive success in a row against the still winless bottom Sheffield United with 4: 1 (2: 1) and climbed to third place at least for the time being .

Chelsea also owes its placement to the 3-1 (2-1) success of record champions Manchester United at Everton. Because by returning to the road to success, the Red Devils prevented the Toffees from jumping to the top of the table, which Southampton FC and former Bundesliga coach Ralph Hasenhüttl had conquered the day before with a 2-0 win against Newcastle United from defending champions Liverpool FC.

Chelsea did not get off his path to success even after the guest tour after nine minutes. Before the break, the Londoners turned the match in their favor with goals from Tammy Abraham (23rd) and Benjamin Chilwell (35th). Werner met after the third goal of the hosts by Thiago Silva (77th) with his fifth goal of the season (80th) in the fourth game in a row and was replaced a little later.

ManUnited was also initially behind. But a brace from Portuguese striker Bruno Fernandes (25th and 32nd) and the first goal from newcomer Edinson Cavani (90th + 5) brought the Old Trafford team their first success after two competitive defeats in a row.

With two goals after being substituted on, Lionel Messi shot FC Barcelona to their third win of the season in the Spanish soccer championship. The Argentine scored the groundbreaking goals for the Catalans in the 61st minute with a penalty kick and in the 82nd minute in a 5-2 (1-1) win against Real Betis Sevilla. Messi didn’t come into play until the second half for 18-year-old Ansu Fati. The talent has torn a meniscus in his left knee, his club announced in the evening.

The other goals for Barcelona come in the empty stadium Camp Nou Ousmane Dembélé (22nd), Antoine Griezmann (49th) and Pedri (90th). Antonio Sanabria (45th + 2) and Loren Moron (73rd) met for the guests where Aissa Mandi saw red because of handball on the goal line (60th). Barcelona improved from twelfth to eighth place after a bad start to the season, Seville remains seventh.

Strong Ronaldo, weak Juve

Despite a goal from the strong Cristiano Ronaldo, Juventus Turin suffered another setback in Serie A. Felipe Caicedo shocked Juve in the fifth minute of stoppage time with the equalizer to 1: 1 (1: 0) and ensured that the “old lady” treads on the spot with the third draw in the sixth game. Ronaldo (15th) had already scored the third goal in the second league appearance after his corona infection, with a remarkable flick on the post (43rd) he just missed the double.

After 76 minutes, the Portuguese was replaced slightly beaten. In the table, leaders AC Milan could keep ahead with a win against Hellas Verona in the evening. The duel between the two “shooters” in the league fell through on Sunday because Lazio attacker Ciro Immobile, unlike Ronaldo, did not recover from his corona infection in time. Without the top star and a few other infected regular players, Dortmund’s premier class opponents developed too little penetration for a long time to seriously endanger Juve. But Caicedo struck late out of nowhere.

PSG wins top game

Coach Thomas Tuchel won the top game of the French league with champions Paris Saint-Germain even without the ailing strikers Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. The capital club prevailed three days after the Champions League defeat at RB Leipzig against Stade Rennes 3-0 (2-0) and thus consolidated the league lead in Ligue 1. For Paris were Moise Kean (11th) and Angel Di Maria (21st, 76th) successful. After ten match days, Paris are with 24 points ahead of OSC Lille (19th), which will play at Stade Brest on Sunday. Rennes (18) is third.
