MU beat Liverpool at Anfield for the first time in 9 years; Hai Phong pushed Hoang Anh Gia Lai to the bottom of the table

MU beat Liverpool at Anfield for the first time in 9 years

Man Utd surprised fans when they played evenly with their arch-rivals Liverpool right at Anfield. Coach Ruben Amorim's team even created something that happened for the first time in an English derby in 30 years, which was scoring in the 2nd minute. From Amad Diallo's pass, Bryan Mbeumo broke through, finished from a tight angle, and put MU ahead.

Liverpool came back strongly after conceding a goal. The reigning Premier League champions attacked relentlessly and created 7 chances in the first half alone. However, only 4 of them were on target and none of them were able to overcome the "Red Devils" defense.

The home team's pressure was rewarded with Gakpo's equalizer in the 79th minute. The MU defense failed to maintain concentration. Dorgu's unsuccessful tackle meant the offside trap was ineffective.

However, in the 84th minute, Harry Maguire jumped high to head the ball, defeating the entire home team's defense to seal a 2-1 victory for MU.

3 emotional points helped MU rise to 9th place with 13 points, only 2 points behind the top 4. Meanwhile, Liverpool lost 3 consecutive matches in the Premier League, 4 matches in all competitions and gradually fell behind in the championship race. The "Red Brigade" is 4 points behind Arsenal.

In the remaining Premier League match last night, Aston Villa came from behind to beat Tottenham 2-1 on their home field.

Juventus lost miserably before the big battle with Real Madrid

Como took the lead from a corner kick in the 4th minute. Nico Paz initiated the move, Da Cunha took a light touch and backheeled the Argentine midfielder. Como's No. 10 crossed the ball perfectly to the far post for Marc Kempf to tap the ball into the net with his left foot.

The link-up play between Yildiz and Conceicao was a rare bright spot for Juventus. However, Como's defense was very effective.

Not only that, Como also knew how to finish the match. Nico Paz scored one of the best goals of the season in the 79th minute: breaking from the right wing into the middle, eliminating Cambiaso and finishing accurately to make the score 2-0.

After 73 years, they won against Juventus again. Meanwhile, the "Old Lady" lost their first match in Serie A, full of anxiety against Real Madrid.

In other notable matches, Atalanta drew goalless with Lazio while AC Milan won 2-1 against Fiorentina thanks to a double from Rafael Leao.

Real Madrid won hard

Despite playing away from home, Real still took the initiative to attack from the very first minutes. A series of shots were created towards goalkeeper Soria's goal but all were unsuccessful.

Getafe then began to maintain stability in defense so Real had difficulty approaching the opponent's goal. It was not until the end of the first half that the away team began to have chances again but could not defeat Soria.

In the second half, coach Xabi Alonso sent Vinicius onto the field and the Brazilian star immediately created a turning point in the match. In the 77th minute, he caused Getafe's Allan Nyom to receive a straight red card after a cold-blooded act with an unnecessary arm swing.

And just 3 minutes later, Real took advantage of the extra man. In the 80th minute, Guler cleverly passed the ball to Mbappe to break the offside trap, then turned and finished past goalkeeper Soria, the ball hit the post and flew into the net.

Getafe continued to put themselves in a difficult position, with Alex Sancris receiving a second yellow card for another pointless foul on Vinicius in the 84th minute, leaving the home side with nine men on the pitch.

Despite being down two players, Getafe still had a chance to equalize in the final minutes of stoppage time. However, goalkeeper Courtois brilliantly blocked Kamara's close-range shot with his knee, keeping all three points for Real Madrid.

Hai Phong pushed HAGL to the bottom of the table

Despite a confident start with two dangerous shots from Marciel, the team from the Mountain City quickly collapsed after mistakes in defense. In the 6th minute, Fred Friday took advantage of the opportunity to open the score for Hai Phong, before Tagueu doubled the gap just a few minutes later.

In the second half, HAGL tried to push up their formation to find an equalizer but were powerless against a solid defense and excellent performance from goalkeeper Dinh Trieu. In the 84th minute, Luiz Antonio fired a decisive shot to seal a 3-0 victory for the home team.

This result helps coach Chu Dinh Nghiem and his team maintain their position in the top 5, while HAGL still has not known victory after 7 rounds and officially fell to the bottom of the LPBank V-League 2025/26 rankings.
