To be honest, during the last game in Ecuador I concluded with a muscle strain, which is why I left the field early. So, together with the people of the organization and Inter Miami it was decided to suspend this game. We hope it can be reprogrammed, and we can see each other.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Coman, Camara and Al-Nassr scored for the visitors, while Kruspzky and Tadic struck for Al-Wahda before the break. Al-Nassr opened the scoring within the first ten minutes.
I hoped we would score more. I think if we had taken our chances better, it would have been more than this. There were a lot of different players, and we know as individuals they are really good, but we have to build those connections again. We're happy, but Lucia's goal was funny. She was so happy, and she celebrated as if it was a Champions League final! Good for her!
Arsenal and Manchester United have had some spicy encounters over the years but the Premier League leaders have reportedly agreed a functional friendly fixture with the Red Devils. Man United and Arsenal are due to face off in a behind-closed-doors game at Arsenal's Sobha Realty Training Centre on Thursday, according to Arsenal Fixture News.

Portugal pulled off a shocking comeback to beat the United States women 2-1 in a friendly in Chester, Pennsylvania, on Thursday night. Although the U.S. was missing a few key stars -- like injured striker Trinity Rodman -- this was a mostly full-strength squad for Emma Hayes and the Americans, who lost their first game since a friendly defeat to Brazil in April.
"The stadium was silent. Silent. We never got any energy back from the stands." England boss Thomas Tuchel reflected on his frustration at the Wembley support for his side after they scored three times in 20 minutes in their dominant 3-0 friendly win over Wales. Goals from Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins and Bukayo Saka put the hosts in control, but they could not build on that in a flat second half, where the home crowd was quieter than the visitors.
Overall, I don't like losing, I have to be honest, but performance-wise, I have to be happy. I learned that some of our senior boys were outstanding. Some of the young boys, we have to expose them. We can see the gulf, we knew that was going to be the case. But if we don't do it, when are we going to do it?

No team from Africa had beaten England before and it did not matter it was a friendly. The scene in the visiting dressing room was probably best described by Thomas Tuchel.
