Ronaldo goal gets applause, boos amid allegation of rape

-

Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal in a 2-0 victory for Juventus over Udinese was met by applause and boos in Udine, Italy, as the internatio­nal soccer star faces a rape allegation.

He leaped into the air with an emphatic double fist pump, as he’s often marked his goals, and then let his teammates congratula­te him.

Just over a week ago, Kathryn Mayorga filed a civil lawsuit saying she was raped by Ronaldo in Las Vegas in 2009. Police have reopened an investigat­ion. Ronaldo has denied the accusation. He was not available for questions after the match.

■ Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho lashed out at his critics after his team’s thrilling 3-2 come-from-behind victory over Newcastle in Manchester, England, calling the attacks against him “wickedness” and “man-hunting.”

United’s manager has been under mounting speculatio­n he’ll be fired because of a string of poor results and for frequent verbal attacks on his own players, but he came out fighting after the team earned its first win in five matches.

■ Ever Guzman scored two goals, and San Antonio FC went on to a 3-1 victory over Lights FC at San Antonio.

Sammy Ochoa gave the Lights (7-18-7) the lead in the 12th minute. But Guzman equalized just before halftime and put San Antonio (1412-7) up for good in the 48th minute.
