Across the weekend's 87 matches where both sides found the net, a handful stood out for sheer abandon. Top of the chaos index: Aalesunds FK and Vålerenga IF sharing ten goals in a 5-5 Eliteserien slugfest, the kind of scoreline that belongs in a charity match but arrived in Norway's top flight instead.
Poland offered its own wild ride as Piast Gliwice fell 3-4 at home to Wieczysta Kraków in the Ekstraklasa, seven goals spread across a fixture that swung back and forth until the final whistle. In Liga MX Apertura, CF Monterrey dismantled FC Juárez 6-1, a seven-goal haul that underlined the gulf between the sides despite both getting on the scoresheet.
Barcelona post five in friendly, Brazil sees six-goal draws
FC Barcelona travelled to Basel for a friendly and left with a 5-2 win, the Swiss side grabbing two consolations but never threatening to reel in the visitors. Meanwhile, Brazil's Série A delivered a pair of 3-3 thrillers: Chapecoense and Bahia cancelling each other out, while Flamengo's 5-1 victory over Mirassol ensured the hosts at least found the net before being overrun.
Belgium's Pro League saw KV Mechelen and Standard Liège finish level at 3-3, and the Eredivisie closed out the weekend's both-teams-scored bonanza with FC Utrecht falling 1-4 to AZ Alkmaar. Eighty-seven matches, eighty-seven times both nets rippled, but only a few delivered the kind of scorelines that make you check the feed twice.
