In the early hours of this morning, three high-profile matches attracted the attention of many fans. First up was Serie A, where Okafor broke the deadlock in the game, while Lazio gave AC Milan some advantage after three players were sent off for red cards.
AC Milan beat Lazio 1-0 away and are still on track to finish second in the league despite being a point behind Juventus for the time being. This was followed by the Bundesliga, where Tel and Musiala scored goals for Bayern respectively, but Bayern played away from home and could only draw with Freiburg.
The draw left Bayern seven points behind Bayer Leverkusen, with the defending champions not in a good position, and finally in the Saudi league, Riyadh Crescent continued their excellent run in all competitions with a 3-1 home win over Jeddah United.
They are getting closer to breaking a 27-game winning streak in world football, and in the league, they are firmly on the side of Riyadh. In the course of the game, Manuel Pellegrini fouled Christian Pulisic twice, resulting in him being sent off for two yellow cards, giving AC Milan a numerical advantage of almost 30 minutes in the game.
However, one of Leao's goals was ruled out for offside and it wasn't until the 88th minute that Okafor managed to send the ball into the back of the net to give AC Milan a lucky victory. In stoppage time, Marusic was sent off for dissatisfaction with the referee's decision, and Guendouzi was also sent off for bringing down Christian Pulisic.
In the match between Bayern and Freiburg, despite Bayern's dominance of possession, the two teams had an equal number of shots on goal. Günther scored a world-class shot from outside the box, but Freiburg opened the scoring to level the scores at 1-1. Tel then showed his skills and fired into the far corner with an elegant turn to level the scores.
In the second half, Musiala once again showed his individual qualities. After successive breakthroughs in the penalty area, he fired into the far corner, which hit the post and bounced into the goal, giving Bayern a 2-1 lead. In the 88th minute, Holler scored with a volley from inside the box to give Freiburg a 2-2 draw with Bayern.
This month, Riyadh Crescent will join Jeddah in three matchups. This game is one in the league, followed by two important AFC Champions League 1 4 finals. Riyadh Crescent is now on a 25-match winning streak in all competitions. The next three matches will be two AFC Champions League matchups against Jeddah United.
Interspersed in the middle was a league match against Riyadh Sporting. If they can win them all, they could break the record of 27 consecutive wins held by world football. In this game, N'Golo Kante headed home the first goal for Jeddah United.
However, the stronger Riyadh Crescent were not deterred by this, and they were in complete control of the pace of the game. Al-Shehri scored a low shot from inside the box to level the score at 1-1. In the second half, Milinkovic provided two assists, first with a cross from the left that set Malcolm into the open, followed by a subtle through-ball from the left.
Let Abdulhamid burst into the penalty area, past the defense and then push the ball into the net. In the end, Riyadh Crescent won 3:1.
