Uzbekistan struggles to overcome Oman

After only 10 minutes of probing the opponent, Uzbekistan gradually lost control of the game with Oman's full-field pressing style, but in the first 30 minutes of the first half, Uzbekistan had not conceded a goal.

However, the surprise came in the 34th minute when Odil Ahmedov put Uzbekistan ahead 1-0, after a beautiful free kick. And 1-0 was the final result of the first half.

Entering the second half, after many efforts, Oman also got an equalizer thanks to Muhsen Al Ghassani in the 72nd minute. However, the precise substitution of coach Héctor Cúer helped Uzbekistan once again take the lead, after Eldor Shomurodov scored in the 85th minute.

In the final minutes of the match, although the Oman team tried to attack, they could not penetrate the Uzbekistan team's net, thereby accepting defeat with a final score of 1-2.

Qatar easily defeated Lebanon

Lebanon continuously pressed Qatar, putting Qatar's goal in a state of alarm. In the 37th minute, the referee disallowed Lebanon's goal, claiming that a player from the Middle Eastern team had fouled a Qatar defender earlier.

So the first half ended with a score of 0-0. In the second half, Qatar gradually regained control of the game. And in the 65th minute, Bassam Hisham opened the score for Qatar with a beautiful free kick.

With the goal, the Qatar players played confidently and forced Lebanon to defend. In the 79th minute, the Qatari fans in the stadium were once again able to celebrate after Almoez Ali increased the score to 2-0 after a close-range tap-in.

And 2-0 was the final score of the match. With this result, Saudi Arabia and Qatar shared the first and second positions in the group, while Lebanon ranked third and North Korea ranked last in group E.

Mourinho was compensated 15 million pounds by MU

The 55-year-old tactician lost his job on December 18 last year after two and a half years in charge of the Red Devils. Mourinho received a £15 million compensation package, meaning he is free to find a new destination.

Previously, Mourinho's new contract with MU (1 year ago) was valid until the end of the 2019/20 season, with an option to extend for another season. However, when the agreement was not yet finalized, the relationship between the two sides broke down halfway.

Currently, Real Madrid - the former team that Mourinho led from 2010 to 2013 - is said to want to bring "The Special One" back to Santiago Bernabeu. President Florentino Perez still likes Mourinho very much and Los Blancos themselves are also facing many difficulties under Santiago Solari this season.

Playing with an attack including Benzema, Lucas Vazquez and Vinicius Jr, it was not until the 44th minute that Real Madrid scored the opening goal thanks to captain Sergio Ramos from the penalty spot. This was also the 100th goal of the Spanish defender's career.

Since Ronaldo moved to Juventus at the beginning of the season, Ramos has taken on the penalty-taking duties at Real Madrid. To date, he has scored 80 goals for Los Blancos, 3 for Sevilla and 17 for the Spanish national team.

Lucas Vazquez was the one who raised the score to 2-0 for Real Madrid from Vinicius Jr.'s assist. The young Brazilian then continued to score the winning goal 3-0 with a volley in the 77th minute.
