Galatasaray is a very lucky team. In the last two matches, rival goalkeepers missed the incoming shot.
Today, 17-year-old Malmö goalkeeper Persson conceded a mistaken goal and did not inspire any confidence in the goal.
While Galatasaray was leading the match 2-1, they tried to close the game in the last minutes, but Pena, who entered the game in the 74th minute, made the score 2-2 with a beautiful goal.
After this goal, Malmö were in a position to score the winning goal, but they could not take advantage of clear positions.
A Swedish football player of Somali origin named Taha Ali (who was also a futsal player) made this clear with his actions. He got into position as if he was playing futsal on the field. In the last minutes, instead of being confident and shooting, he passed the ball and missed the goal.
It was a nice and exciting match. If Malmö had an experienced goalkeeper, Malmö could have won today.

It's hard to play in Norway. It's cold, the ground is artificial turf, the team has missing players. Beşiktaş took the lead with a goal from Gedson Fernandes. Then they missed a very clear position with Rafa Silva. Beşiktaş dominated the first 35 minutes of the match. But before the end of the first half they conceded two goals in the last ten minutes and everything changed. There were no goals in the second half. Beşiktaş couldn't make more attacks. Bodø/Glimt didn't play very well but they got the 3 points. This game deserved at least 1 point. It was a sad night for Beşiktaş, hopefully the last two games will be better.
What a lucky draw for FCSB tonight against Hoffenheim but they also had 2 massive chances to score...however , the game ended with 0-0 and FCSB is officially qualified further in Europa League competition while Hoffenheim still has slight chances to qualify further but it depends a lot on the last games.
Also whoever had bets on Haifa - RFS , I'm sure that missed penalty in last minute of the game was a voice of victory for some and the sound of rage for others
but RFS has done this before this season if I remember well...missing a penalty in last minute of the game.

Another interesting game of the weekend in the EPL. I look forward to seeing Manchester United taking all three points in that game although it's not going to be a seamless win because it's a derby match and Man.City won't want to continue making their fans sad due to their poor run lately.
Isn’t it too early to give Manchester United this confidence and hype just because they won their Europa League match today?I think this opponents are very soft for Manchester United to struggle a win after been scored before they complete their comeback; although I appreciate their effort towards making it to win the game because they really needed the three points in order to give themselves hope of qualifying to the next round of the competition and now Manchester United is is just four points behind Lazio that tops the UEFA Europa League, this simply means that since they sack Ten Hag, the team has improved massively especially in the Europa League.
Nevertheless, the derby match coming up between Manchester United and Manchester City will be a very interesting match to watch because both teams will be looking for ways to end their losing streak, none of them will wants to lose. Therefore, I will risk to bet the game both teams to score because they will both be hungry for the three points.
Club fans always expecting instant improvement, why? Fortunately for Amorim Manchester United managed to win 1:2 against Plzen tonight else he would have gotten all sort of criticism questioning his capability as Manchester United coach, which is too rushy a thing to do.
Amorim as much as am concerned, he isn't the problem with Manchester United performance not having significant improvement since the departure of ETH, for it is until some of the existing players in tue club have been replaced with new signings into the squad I see no reason to question Amorim capacity with the club because he was doing great as a head coach with Sporting CP before taking the UTD job.
Maybe this will help drop the pressure on Amorim by some percentage because in the past week Manchester United suffered some losses in series and some fans were already talking about if he's should possibly get sacked already and that did sounded crazy to me, the fact they aren't patient enough to allow Manchester United gradually become productive under the management of Amorim. Amorim as much as am concerned, he isn't the problem with Manchester United performance not having significant improvement since the departure of ETH, for it is until some of the existing players in tue club have been replaced with new signings into the squad I see no reason to question Amorim capacity with the club because he was doing great as a head coach with Sporting CP before taking the UTD job.
Way too many games, and there are way too many close ones too, its not that easy to suggest anything to anyone. No idea what Spurs will do, they are missing plenty of players and been doing badly, could maybe still lose, or they could win too, nothing is certain when things are this volatile. Roma has Ranieri, could maybe win, but they did lose before with him so maybe they will do that again.
Honestly, betting today felt like I was playing that minesweeper or whatever name was game that was on every PC, its really not that much of a good feeling and I am looking at it like its a crazy deal, I need to focus on how to get better odds and deals, like figure out a way to find better offers, because right now, moneyline winner bets look like its not going to be profitable at all, not today at least.

This Manchester united club is showing some signs of improvement in their performance with the results they are getting now with their new coach in charge since the former coach was sacked. Tonight they beat Victoria Plzen by 2 goals to 1 in a game I was contemplating to end in draw but I'm the 88 minutes Manchester united got a second goal putting a smile on their fans faces and saving Amorim from the press headline critique on the front newspaper for tomorrow. Congratulations to them and the fans.

It was a win and I think Amorim doesn't care how this win was achieved. It was clear that Manchester United would have more ball possession, but Pilzen had more than chance to score a goal and Manchester United kept the tension in the game until the last minute was over.
Before Manchester United scored the goal that won them the lead, Pilzen had the chance to score themselves and I think one goal was disallowed because of VAR? I am not sure about that, but I thought I saw something in the live ticker. But anyway, I think everyone understands that the opponents which Manchester United is having trouble with are today called Bodo/Glimt and Pilzen. It is not nice because most people remember when Manchester United was the biggest club in the world, but it's time to take one step back and see this as a long-term try to build a brand new Manchester United. This can't be done with the players they have as they repeatedly have big problems to outplay these B class teams like Pilzen.
Tonight perhaps will determine if Manchester United have really improved under their new coach, because I can't see much of an improvement in this team. Manchester United is closer to the relegation zone than they are to the top of the table in their domestic league. If I'm not mistaken, it's almost the same position that their former manager left them, that's where they are still. The improvement that you guys are talking about is not just reflecting on the team. For sanity's sake, Manchester United should not lose tonight. Plezeñ will make this match a living hell for Manchester United. With their impressive performance in this competition this season, I fear for Manchester United because something inside of me is telling me that Manchester United fans will cry again tonight.
That's too early to judge or to determine, a new coach who have just came to manage the club for a month is not enough to determine whether the club is improved or not.
Even if the results lets say all win within a month after the new coach come, it does not mean that the club is improved under the new coach.
Still long way to go for Amorim to prove that United is not choosing the wrong man to manage the club.
There is no instant improvement, it will take time maybe a whole season then we can determine whether the club is improved or not.

Excellent desplay by Hojlund today I believe this guy will do well under Amorim his 88 minute goal which was assisted by Fernandes gave Manchester United a come back win against plzen who was leading the game by 1-0 in the early minutes of the second half before Hojlund came with a bruce to give Manchester United the lead which ended 2-1 against plzen.

That is quite reasonable because after all, fans are starting to get fed up with the conditions and performance that Manchester United has and when there is a change of coach the reason is quite clear is to make their performance improve and this is what Amorim must feel when trying to be in the coaching chair because in the end this pressure will continue to exist and not just at Manchester United because after all in almost all clubs that get the same problems as Manchester United will also get this kind of pressure for the coach and we can take examples from other EPL clubs such as Enzo Maresca at Chelsea and Slot at Liverpool.What needs to be shown at this time is positive results regardless of the number of wins, the most important thing is that Amorim can bring this club to get full points in every match then it will be considered a positive for the improvement of the club and when this does not match expectations then it is clear that there will be criticism that he gets later.
In this match although there are still some things that must be considered such as the selfishness of some players that still exist and some things in defense and player communication but they have got 3 points and that is a good thing for Manchester United.
AS Roma managed to win big and also with clean sheets 3-0 and also, AS Roma has very good dominance in this match. Because I think, Braga is also not a completely weak team and I think, Braga will still be able to provide resistance in this match. But anyway, the reality is that Braga could not make a good effort to get a chance to score in this match since the first half. But indeed, with results like this also once again I believe Ranieri is still able to make AS Roma rise, although it still takes time but at least they have a good chance over time. Although perhaps, it is difficult for AS Roma to finish in the top eight but at least, they will still manage to finish in the top 24 which will certainly make them qualify to continue to the knockout phase.
This match shows there is still hope for Roma. After their management made a somewhat terrible decision of sacking Jose Mourinho, in the long run nothing did actually changed rather things became worse. Although if they can back Ranieri and his men, I think they will bounce back and do well in this tournament this season, although they can't really be considered among the title favourites again, the best they can possibly get to me is quarter finals. 
Galatasaray got 1 point, but gave 1 point to Malmö, they would have even given 3 points.
Okan Buruk's substitutions are ridiculous. After Mertens left the game, Galatasaray started to defend. Malmö started to dominate the game at that moment.
Michy Batshuayi is playing terribly, he was not in the game at all, this player should have come out of the first game.
Davidson Sanchez is injured, I hope it is not a serious injury.

If it is now showing that the problem with Manchester United are the players they have, then ETH was not a bad coach, the Manchester United players made him look bad. Amorim will have to be aggressive in the transfer window to make sure that these Manchester United players do not rubbish his good record coming into the club. Lazio have completed the job against Ajax, scoring their third goal to give them a kind of assurance of victory in their game that has been very unpredictable because of how both teams have been attacking each other.

It is excessive if fans ask for instant improvement, the job needs a process especially since Amorin is new at Manchester United so there must be more adaptation, but this victory makes his fans happy..
In other games we have the Manchester Derby this week.
Another interesting game of the weekend in the EPL. I look forward to seeing Manchester United taking all three points in that game although it's not going to be a seamless win because it's a derby match and Man.City won't want to continue making their fans sad due to their poor run lately.
The Manchester United coach may be regretting his decisions because Manchester United is making his reputation go to the dust. Today I would have taught that Manchester United would win this game without any issues but that's not the case. They did not dominate the match as they were supposed to and they have to take the match down the wire before they won
I think both Manchester United and Their present coach were better off before they meet as I like the way Ruud was handling the team and the way sporting were playing.

Icardi is out, Osimhen is out, Sallai wasn't registered, Barış Alper is out, Kaan Ayhan is out, Ismail Jakobs is out, and Abdulkerim was just back with injections, game starts and Sanchez goes out. After all that, we still managed to get 2-2 tie, I would say that's actually a good result when you look at it on paper. I mean of course the issue is that we were 2-1 winning the game and we could have won it all together, but because of last minute defensive scheme changes, and substitutions we ended up getting a tie, if Sara stayed and if Jelert stayed, and we would just take out Bats to get Efe instead, that would have caused us to have much better defense. With Ziyech just walking, and Bats being useless, we ended up getting a late goal, and barely got a tie, in fact they missed a few at the last minutes too.
Bilbao got the win and going towards finishing at first place, it is going to be quite tough for any team to do better than them. I believe Athletic Club has a chance to win the whole thing, I watched the game and I can tell you that they are looking like the best team in all of europa, don't think it would be all that weird, we could see them win it.
The fact that they only get players from one region, is amazing and definitely something that is respectable, however the way they are playing right now is like a global powerhouse and that's why I believe they might. Plus, who else plays better? Lazio? Frankfurt? Galatasaray? I do not think so, none of them looks remotely close to Athletic Club and that is why I believe they may win it all.

Luckily for Manchester United they were able to win this match in the end and the hero of today's victory was Rasmus Hojlund who scored two goals. Thanks to this victory, Manchester United managed to maintain its good performance in the Europa League without losing in 6 matches. Now United's position in the standings is in 6th place with 12 points.
AS Roma managed to win big and also with clean sheets 3-0 and also, AS Roma has very good dominance in this match. Because I think, Braga is also not a completely weak team and I think, Braga will still be able to provide resistance in this match. But anyway, the reality is that Braga could not make a good effort to get a chance to score in this match since the first half.

Although perhaps, it is difficult for AS Roma to finish in the top eight but at least, they will still manage to finish in the top 24 which will certainly make them qualify to continue to the knockout phase.
After 2 previous draws they finally got back to get points for the continuation of the league phase in the Europa League which of course this is a very good thing for Roma.Against Braga they looked more comfortable and played very solid so they were able to get an easy victory in this match. Although it is undeniable that there is still significant resistance because Braga plays more defensively but in the end Roma get their momentum in this match and indeed with the 3-back scheme it seems that now Ranieri is starting to be comfortable with maintaining momentum where he can place a 3-5-2 formation or change with 3-4-1-2 or 3-4-2-1 according to the needs he wants quite well organized. But indeed with this formation it seems that they also have to be careful because indeed the scheme of 5 midfielders will be quite good if they control the game just as it happened in this match but this scheme will seem not too suitable if they are actually pressed because with this scheme it will make blunders for themselves.
