Monza 1-1 Internazionale

Portuguese forward Dany Mota scored what looked to be a winning goal in Serie A for Monza last night, as his side almost upset Italian champions Inter.

The Portugal U21 international, who was introduced just after the hour, rose to head home Armando Izzo’s cross with ten minutes remaining to give the hosts a shock lead. Denzel Dumfries levelled for the visitors in the 88th minute to earn Inter a share of the spoils.

Gonçalo Paciência made a strong impression on his first start for Japanese J-League contenders Sanfrecce Hiorshima, scoring on his debut in a 2-2 draw at Kashima Antlers.

The well-travelled striker was thrown straight into the starting line-up by manager Michael Skibbe Paciência and repaid the German’s faith with a first-half header before being replaced in the second half as he attempts to build fitness.

José Mourinho’s Fenerbahçe are top of the Turkish Super Lig ahead of next weekend’s Istanbul derby against Galatasaray, but the Portuguese boss is not allowing his players to escape from his demands.

Fener won 2-0 at Kasımpaşa on Sunday afternoon, thanks to first-half goals from new signing Allan Saint-Maximin and veteran playmaker Dusan Tadic. The victory sees Mourinho’s men lead the table by one point from Galatasaray, who have one game in-hand amid a perfect start to the new campaign.

• Paulinho
• Liga MX

Former Braga and Sporting striker Paulinho is the top goalscorer in the Mexican top flight after seven rounds, following his most recent strike in Toluca’s 4-0 win over Tijuana.

Paulinho rounded off the scoring in the victory for Renato Paiva’s side, making it 5 goals scored in 7 matches since he moved to Liga MX from Sporting for a reported €8m transfer fee in June.
