Two separate football matches in America throw up a remarkable coincidence

Legendary folk singers, yes. But how many top class footballers do you get called Zimmerman?

Bob Dylan would say the answer is blowing in the wind, but we can confirm it is at least two. The fact a pair of Zimmermans scored crucial goals in the same weekend is quite the coincidence in its own right, but it doesn't end there. FC Dallas defender Walker Zimmerman scored this header to take his team into extra time in the MLS Conference Semifinals. https://twitter.com/MLS/status/663547009169657856 And his namesake Catherine went even better, firing home this thunderbolt for Providence College in the Big East women's soccer semifinals. https://twitter.com/BIGEASTchamps/status/662823005832122369 If that wasn't enough, both teams were level after extra-time in their respective matches, and both went on to win 4-2 on penalties with both Zimmermans finding the net. Walker's spot-kick was among the most emphatic winners we've seen. It brings back memories of Brian McDermott's time in charge of Leeds United, when his opposite number with the Leeds Rhinos rugby league team had the same name and both managers had a 25-year-old winger by the name of Ryan Hall in their ranks. Dallas will hope the similarities end there, though - Providence lost their final against Butler, and Dallas go into the Western Conference final against the Portland Timbers needing to keep their run going.
