Before being crushed by Singapore with a score of 0-3, they were defeated 0-10 by Thailand and lost 2-3 when facing Malaysia. Although there is still one final match against Cambodia, Timor Leste team has no chance to compete for a place in the next round.

In the match at Hang Day Stadium (Vietnam), the Timor Leste team played very hard, holding out against Singapore for 2/3 of the official match time. In the first half of the match, the Timor Leste players played well and had many opportunities, but Joao Pedro and his teammates unfortunately missed them all.

In the second half, Singapore tried their best to attack in the hope of winning 3 points. However, the beginning of the second half still witnessed a brave and resilient Timor Leste. It was only when they ran out of energy towards the end of the match that Timor Leste lost.

In the 76th minute, a Timor Leste player made a difficult foul on a Singaporean striker in the penalty area, giving Nakamura an opportunity to score accurately from the penalty spot to open the scoring for the visitors. From then on, Timor Leste's defense lost strength and coach Ogura and his team took full advantage to score more goals.

In the 83rd minute, Anuar scored again against Timor Leste. After consulting VAR, the referee recognized the goal. In the 90th minute, Anuar completed his double in this match, after an easy rebound in the penalty area, sealing a 3-0 victory for Singapore.

However, the weakness in physical strength and class made Timor Leste collapse at the end of the match. The recent match with Singapore also followed a similar scenario.

Liverpool draw second consecutive Premier League match

After the opening whistle, Liverpool gradually took the initiative. However, a surprise happened when in the 11th minute, Fulham opened the score. From Robinson's cross from the left wing, Pereira - a former MU player - flew to finish at close range, the ball hit Robertson and went into the Liverpool net.

Not yet recovered from the shock of the goal, Liverpool received another painful blow in the 17th minute when Robertson himself received a direct red card. The Scottish defender controlled the ball incorrectly, allowing Wilson to steal it. Robertson then committed a foul in a situation where Wilson had a chance to score, so the referee immediately showed the player wearing the number 26 shirt a red card.

Having to play with one less man, Liverpool had a lot of trouble in the attack, while Fulham showed their sharpness in quick counter-attacks. In all fairness, if Wilson had been more careful and precise, Fulham could have gone into the break with more than 1 goal.

As for Liverpool, the most notable chance they created in the first half was Diaz's header over the bar in the 41st minute after a great pass from Szoboszlai.

Right at the beginning of the second half, Liverpool found the equalizer and the one who spoke up was none other than Salah. The Egyptian star made a wonderful left-footed pass into the far corner for Gakpo to rush in and head the ball into the Fulham net.

This goal helped Liverpool's spirit rise. However, in the 76th minute, the home team had to concede a second goal from Fulham's quick attack and the scorer was Muniz. At the most difficult moment, Slot's two substitutions were effective.

In the 86th minute, Nunez passed the ball well for Jota to turn the ball past the Fulham defender and then accurately finish to equalize 2-2 for Liverpool. In the remaining time, both Liverpool and Fulham had opportunities to finish off their opponents but failed to take advantage.

In the end, Liverpool drew 2-2 with Fulham at Anfield. This was the second consecutive draw for The Reds in the Premier League this season. Currently, Liverpool is still at the top of the table with 36 points, 5 points more than second-placed Chelsea.

On December 19, Liverpool will face Southampton in the League Cup, then visit Tottenham in round 17 of the Premier League.

After a 5-1 thrashing of Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League in midweek, Bayern Munich confidently turned their attention back to the Bundesliga, where they are unbeaten since the start of the season with 10 wins and 3 draws.

However, the surprise happened when Mainz had a surprising victory with a score of 2-1 thanks to the brilliance of Korean star, Lee Jae-sung, who scored a double. Leroy Sane was the player who scored the equalizer for the top team, but that was not enough and Bayern Munich received their first defeat in the Bundesliga this season.

Bayern Munich's defeat created the perfect conditions for the opponents behind to narrow the gap in points. And defending champions Leverkusen took full advantage of this.

Coach Xabi Alonso's team easily won 2-0 at Augsburg thanks to two goals in the first half from Martin Terrier and Florian Wirtz.

With this victory, Leverkusen has 29 points, temporarily surpassing Eintracht Frankfurt to climb to 2nd place on the rankings and 4 points behind Bayern at the top.
