For the second-consecutive match and the third appearance in his last six, Emmanuel Sabbi scored for Danish Superliagen side Hobro.
The 21-year-old forward scored from a beautifully taken free kick in the 31st minute of Hobro’s 2-1 loss to Odense on Sunday. Sabbi curled a right-footed kick into the top-left corner for his fifth league goal of the season.
Although Sabbi got on the scoresheet for the second week in a row, Hobro could not fight back for a point as their winless run was extended to six matches. Currently sitting in 12th place in the Superliga table, Hobro are 10 points from the playoff places and next host Nordsjaelland on Nov. 10th.

Love how Morales isn’t afraid to be that rough guy in midfield. The USA has been missing that bite there since Jermaine Jones played. Bradly and Trapp can pass a long ball, but don’t provide that physical presence.
Would love to see Bobby Wood come to MLS and thrive. DC united sure could use a guy like him.
Does anyone have any information related to Alvarado’s not playing this weekend?
Dest must have started almost 10 games in a row for Ajax. He declares for the US and then doesn’t play at all. Is he hurt, just a coincidence, or what? Wish Tyler Adams would start playing.
I very much would like to know why he didn’t play. This could be the start of something terrible
probably just squad rotation.
ten Hag doesn’t want his other options getting rusty.
–
i might feel differently if he doesn’t start tomorrow, tho.
Morales over any MLS player. If berhalter doesn’t call him back he dumb as a rock and delusional thinking mls trap yueil aronson even roldan are better.
Morales > Bradley
Do we have to pay to comment on certain articles now? Could not comment on the Alfredo Morales article? Hermano Ives por que?????
it’s like that on all the newer Ives stories for some reason.
maybe it has something to do with him being in Europe?
I watched the Wigan and Swansea game this weekend. Antonee Robinson is not the answer to LB. He also lost his mark and Dyer from Swansea scored the first goal. I would not call him up until his defense improves the offense is there, but the defense and mental lapses I remember seeing in the Jamaica friendly were present when Robinson played againt Swansea yesterday. Happy to see Pulisic on the score sheets again. Morales and Steffan were awesome also for Dusseldorf
Robinson is 22, and has half as many senior (club) appearances as Roldan, and 1/3 of Trapp. These 2 guys are called up continually and still have defensive lapses but people still support them (ha!). Give the kid a break!
Bro their are a ton of defenders that are 22 and under that are killing it in Europe at CB and LB dont give me that 22 excuse. Look at De Ligt, Wan Bissaka, Chilwell, Hakimi, Renan Lodi, Theo Hernandez, etc.
Also my fav player who is killing it the most is Trent John Alexander-Arnold/ 21 nd killing it so dont give me Robinson is 22 excuse.
Where can you watch wigan games? Like what channel?
It’s available on ESPN +, for which you do have to have the necessary login. It’s like $5 a month if you’re interested.
Go online and get a stream for free, bump paying for cable lol
None of our Wide Defenders are all that great at defending. It’s one of the reasons many are calling for a 3 back formation with Dest/Robinson & Yedlin/Cannon as wingbacks playing further up the pitch. It takes some of the defensive responsibilities off them, while helping to shore up our weak wide midfield play.
Unfortunately Berhaulter can’t seem to realize this and continues to use Lovitz & Ream as his LB options, which tends to allow teams to stretch our back line creating mis-matches and open passing lanes.
de la Torre assisted on both goals in his match.
really hope this dude finds a good loan in the winter window.
