Van Duc “lost” a goal in the opening match; Courtois received the award for the best goalkeeper in the world

After the first few shaky minutes, Hanoi gradually found their usual coordination. Pape Omar and Hoang Vu Samson exchanged passes in front of the penalty area. The naturalized striker flicked the ball for rookie Omar to turn and finish, opening the score.

Four minutes before the break, Hanoi doubled the gap with a goal from captain Nguyen Van Quyet. Goalkeeper Huynh Tuan Linh was at fault for the goal, with a pass straight to Quang Hai's feet in front of the penalty area. The midfielder number 19 crossed for Samson. Instead of finishing, the Nigerian player set up Van Quyet for a second assist.

The home team took the initiative in the second half, with three goals in the last 10 minutes of the match. In the 78th minute, Pham Thanh Luong dribbled the ball down the left wing and passed it back to Do Hung Dung to tap the ball into the far corner. Hung Dung was chosen as the best player of the match and his goal seemed to make the away team collapse. Five minutes later, Samson got on the scoreboard with a goal from a penalty. Before that, Van Hau had crossed the ball and hit the hand of a Quang Ninh defender in the penalty area.

The 5-0 victory was sealed in the 88th minute, when Oseni had a solo performance on the right wing. He passed to Ngan Van Dai but was blocked by the opponent. However, the 2018 V-League top scorer seized the opportunity to head the ball in, leaving goalkeeper Tuan Linh unable to block.

Xuan Truong was absent, Buriam was held to a regrettable draw by Chonburi

Because Chonburi is rated higher than Buriam, and this is also Xuan Truong's first match in the Thai League, the midfielder from Tuyen Quang did not leave much of an impression. Truong "Hip" played very aggressively and fought fiercely, but his passes were not really accurate.

The match was quite balanced in the first half and no goals were scored. At the beginning of the second half, Xuan Truong was taken off the field to make way for Pedro Junior. However, less than 4 minutes after the star of the Vietnamese national team left the field, Buriam had to concede a goal.

However, in the 64th minute, Chonburi unexpectedly had to play with one less player due to a red card. Taking advantage of this, Buriam scored two consecutive goals through Sarachat in the 65th and 66th minutes. Victory seemed to be within reach for the home team, but Chonburi equalized 2-2 in the 76th minute.

In the remaining time, another Chonburi player received a red card and was left with only 9 men, however the home team could not take advantage and accepted the final result of a 2-2 draw.

Courtois wins world's best goalkeeper award 2018

According to the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS), football experts from 90 countries participated in the voting process and Courtois was the winner with 181 votes, surpassing his two colleagues in the Top 3, Lloris (109 votes) and Buffon (59 votes). On its official website, Real said that Courtois had a great 2018, when the former Chelsea goalkeeper helped Belgium finish 3rd at the World Cup in Russia.

Also at the 2018 World Cup, Courtois won the Golden Glove award for the tournament's best goalkeeper. Last September, the 26-year-old "goalkeeper" won the Best FIFA Football Awards, despite the fact that Manchester United's David De Gea was named in the FIFA FIFPro World11 squad.

Messi scores hat-trick, Barca wins against Sevilla

Sevilla only showed their character in the first 45 minutes, from Messi's failed pass, the home team seized the opportunity to open the score. After escaping into the empty penalty area, Jesus Navas fired a cross-angle shot to beat Ter Stegen.

Messi's mistake in the first goal hurt his pride. It only took the Barca captain four minutes to redeem himself with a volley that tore through the Sevilla net.

In the 42nd minute, Sevilla once again took advantage of Barca's failed pass. After Ter Stegen's inaccurate goal kick, Pablo Sarabia crossed inside for Gabriel Mercado to shoot diagonally to increase the score to 2-1.

Conceding defeat in the first half, coach Ernesto Valverde brought on Sergi Roberto to replace right-back Nelson Semedo, and replaced Arturo Vidal with Ousmane Dembele.

Under increasing pressure, Sevilla finally made a mistake that led to the second goal. After a sloppy kick upfield by goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik. From Roberto's pass, Messi curled a beautiful right-footed shot to tie the score at 2-2. The visitors got the third goal when Carles Alena's shot hit Amadou and changed direction into the middle of the penalty area, where Messi was there just in time to chip the ball past goalkeeper Vaclik.

Not stopping at scoring a hat-trick, Messi created the remaining goal for Barca. After using his chest to control the ball, M10 lifted the ball for Luis Suarez to rush down and beat Vaclik to seal the 4-2 victory.

Bayern catch up with Dortmund at the top of Bundesliga table

Bayern had a difficult 90 minutes against Hertha - an opponent in the bottom half of the table. Bayern could not create a dominant game or create any truly dangerous scoring opportunities. Meanwhile, the defense was repeatedly confused by the opponent's sharp counter-attacks. Joshua Kimmich even nearly scored an own goal when he rushed back to block Davie Selke's shot, causing the ball to miss the target by a hair in the 57th minute.

Coach Kovac's personnel adjustments, with Thiago, Coman and then Muller, were also ineffective. Coman even relapsed into injury just nine minutes after coming on as a substitute, and had to be replaced by Muller. But in a difficult situation, Bayern still proved the difference that a big team should have. The defending champions scored in the 62nd minute from a set piece. James Rodriguez took a corner kick for Martinez to head in, opening the scoring.

In the remaining time, despite having one more player - Karim Rekik received a direct red card for hitting Lewandowski, Bayern could not capitalize on that advantage to widen the gap.

Kane scores, Tottenham still loses painfully

Tottenham, with the return of Harry Kane, entered the match with determination. However, Burnley played very solidly and confidently thanks to the home field advantage. Therefore, the strikers like Kane, Son or Eriksen had almost no chance to coordinate or finish. The first half ended with a 0-0 draw.

In the second half, Tottenham pushed up their formation and increased pressure on the opponent's field. In the 50th minute, Kane launched a powerful long-range shot and goalkeeper Heaton, despite being dazzled by the light, still managed to push the ball away to save the goal.

Seven minutes later, Tottenham fans were surprised when Burnley took the lead thanks to Wood's goal. Starting from McNeil's right-wing corner kick, Chris Wood had no trouble jumping high to head the ball into Tottenham's net.

In the 66th minute, Tottenham found the equalizer after Kane scored. After Rose had a quick throw-in from the left wing, Kane escaped and finished with a low, tricky shot to the far corner. 1-1 for Tottenham.

It seemed like this match would end in a draw, but Ashley Barnes suddenly shined to help Burnley win 2-1 in the 83rd minute. Despite losing the match, Tottenham still ranked 3rd in the Premier League with 60 points.
