Comeback Performance: The Most Exciting Returns in Sports Right Now

If you love a good underdog story, you’re in the right place. This page gathers the freshest comeback performances from football, basketball, tennis and beyond. From a last‑minute goal that clinched a win to a dramatic rally in the playoffs, we’ve got the highlights you’ll want to rewatch.

Football comebacks that turned the tide

Real Betis showed why they’re back on form when Giovani Lo Celso struck at just the right moment, sealing a 1‑0 win over Alavés and keeping their unbeaten start alive. A few weeks earlier Barcelona proved how a red card can work in your favor – they turned a ten‑man match into a 4‑0 victory against Real Sociedad, reclaiming first place in La Liga.

Don’t miss the drama of Brentford’s pre‑season shake‑up when Yoane Wissa vanished unexpectedly. While not a classic comeback on the pitch, the squad had to adapt fast and prove they could still compete without a key attacker.

Basketball, tennis and other sports revivals

The Cleveland Cavaliers made a statement in Game 3 of their series against Indiana Pacers. Donovan Mitchell dropped 43 points, shifting momentum and giving the Cavs a chance to close out the round.

Tennis star Carlos Alcaraz kept his streak alive by crushing Cameron Norrie at Wimbledon and later surviving a tight Monte Carlo Masters quarter‑final against Arthur Fils. Both wins show how a player can bounce back after a tough set loss.

In African football, South Africa fought back to draw 1‑1 with Algeria in the CHAN group stage, ending Algeria’s perfect run and keeping their own hopes alive. The match reminded fans that a single goal can erase a deficit and change a tournament’s landscape.

Other notable comebacks include Fluminense’s upset over Al Hilal to reach the FIFA Club World Cup semifinals and Manchester United’s narrow 1‑0 win over Chelsea thanks to Marc Cucurella’s late header – each moment proving that persistence pays off.
