Raúl Jiménez is the driving force of Fulham. Although he could not score against Crystal Palace, the Mexican striker contributed an assist to help his team win 2-0 on matchday 11 of the English Premier League.
Jiménez has gone three games without scoring goals. He was blank against Everton and Brentford, but yesterday against Palace he showed that he can be useful to make way for his teammates. He registered his sixth goal assist of the campaign by setting up Emile Smith Rowe (45+2) for the first goal.
Harry Wilson later sealed Fulham’s victory (83), just minutes after Daichi Kamada left the home team outnumbered after being sent off. The Mexican team came off the bench in the 75th minute, after starting and staying in the starting lineup as in previous days.
Another tricolor, right-back Julián Araujo, played six minutes in Bournemouth’s 3-2 loss to Brentford. The Mexican-American could not contribute much as he was taken into account with the match already defined, thanks to a double from Yoane Wissa.
Edson Álvarez, captain of Tricolor, was not active in West Ham’s 0-0 draw with Everton, due to serving a one-match suspension.
For his part, midfielder Luis Chávez scored a double in the Russian Premier League in Dinamo Moscow’s 3-1 victory over Pari NN. The former Pachuca footballer opened the scoring from the penalty spot (7) and crowned his performance with his team’s third goal, making him the most valuable player of the match.
César Montes, also the national team, started and played the 90 minutes in Lokomotiv Moscow’s 2-1 victory against Fakel Voronezh. In Greece, Orbelín Pineda came on as a substitute to witness AEK’s 3-0 win over Asteras.
Vinicius triplet
Real Madrid provisionally calmed the crisis caused by the poor results. They beat Osasuna 4-0 and Vinicius, his figure at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, scored a hat trick despite the injuries of Rodrygo, Militao and Lucas Vázquez.
About to reach the international break, the meringues closed in second place in the LaLiga standings with 27 points, six behind the leader Barcelona, who will visit Real Sociedad in Anoeta this Sunday.
The advantage for Madrid is that it has a pending match against Valencia, which was postponed due to the serious flooding that occurred in eastern Spain two weeks ago.
After the last two defeats at the Bernabéu against Barcelona in the local tournament (4-0) and in Champions against AC Milan (3-1), the Madridistas were obliged to beat Osasuna to defuse the crisis.
Vinicius opened the scoring after half an hour of play with a right foot from inside the area, culminating a play that began with a recovery by Jude Bellingham. The English international scored the second before the break (42nd), while the Brazilian star completed his work with the hat trick (61st and 69th).
The victory, however, came at a high price for Madrid, since Rodrygo, Militao and Lucas Vázquez did not finish the game due to injury and joined the list of casualties in the white team (Courtois, Carvajal, Alaba, Tchouameni) .
