The term soccer comes from Oxford "-er" slang, which was prevalent at Oxford University in England from about 1875, and is thought to have been borrowed from the slang of Rugby School. The slang additionally gave rise to rugger for Rugby football, fiver and tenner for a five-pound and ten-pound notice, and the now-archaic footer for affiliation soccer. The word soccer was first recorded in 1889 in the earlier form of socca. Lionel Messi missed a penalty but an extra-time objective from Kylian Mbappe secured PSG a 1-0 win over Real Madrid. Cristiano Ronaldo, in the meantime, opened the goalscoring for United in opposition to Brighton. Teams that had forfeited a game or had been forfeited against would be awarded a technical loss or win. The referee's determination in all on-pitch matters is considered ultimate. The rating of a match cannot be altered after the game, even if later evidence reveals that decisions (including awards/non-awards of goals) have been incorrect.
