Manchester United ayaa si wanaagsan ku soo gabagabeysay ololahoodii Premier League ee 2024–25, iyagoo 2-0 ku garaacay Aston Villa, oo ciyaari doonta Europa League xilli ciyaareedka soo socda, galabta Axad, iyadoo qayb ahaan ay ugu wacnayd go’aan garsoore oo muran dhaliyay.
Waxaa laga yaabaa inaad filaysay in kooxda martida ah ay noqon doonto mid caajis ah ka dib niyad jabkii finalka Europa League; guuldarro taageere kasta oo Man Utd ah uu rajeynayo inay noqoto heerka ugu hooseeya ee xukunka Ruben Amorim. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, kooxda martida ah ayaa ku ciyaartay xawaare iyo xirfad garoonka Theatre of Dreams si ay u bilaabaan kulankii Axadda, iyagoo si buuxda ula wareegay rajadii Champions League.
Waxaa jiray dardar iyo firfircooni kubadda la haysto, iyo rabitaan ah in la carqaladeeyo weerarka degdegga ah ee toosan ee Villa. Qorshahoodii hore ee cajiibka ahaa ayaa fududeeyay fursado badan, iyadoo Emiliano Martínez uu mas’uul ka ahaa hubinta in United aysan dhalinin goolka furitaanka. Argentine-ka ayaa sameeyay badbaadin laba jeer ah oo cajiib ah oo uu ka sameeyay Mason Mount afar daqiiqo gudahood, wuxuuna diyaar u ahaa inuu qabsado darbo Bruno Fernandes ah oo kabtankii United uu sameyn karay si ka fiican.
Amad Diallo ayaa ku xigay inuu u soo dhowaado kooxda martida ah, kaasoo darbo dhinac mariyay, ka hor inta uusan bedelka qeybta hore Diogo Dalot birta ku dhuftay darbo xooggan oo uu ka tuuray gudaha xerada ganaaxa.
Adeegsiga kubadda ee Villa wuxuu ahaa mid degdeg ah, taasoo u oggolaatay United inay maamusho inta badan qeybta hore. Red Devils ayaa hoos u dhigtay xawaarahooda markii qeybta hore ay soo dhowaaneyso, laakiin waxaa la siiyay hadiyad baas liita oo uu Matty Cash u dhiibay goolhayahooda, taasoo ku qasabtay Martínez inuu si argagax leh u jaro Rasmus Højlund meel ka baxsan xerada ganaaxa, taasoo keentay in la saaro.
Kooxda martida ah, oo haatan 10 ciyaartoy ah, ayaa weli fursad u heysatay inay ku dhameystaan shanta sare qeybta nasashada, laakiin waxay ogaayeen in gool loo baahan yahay qeybta labaad. Qaab ciyaareedkoodu wuxuu ahaa mid liita iyagoo 11 ciyaartoy ah, kooxda Unai Emery ayaa dhibaato kala kulantay bilowga qeybta labaad iyagoo 10 ciyaartoy ah, laakiin calanka offside-ka iyo nasiib darrada Højlund ayaa la micno ahaa in kulanku uu ahaa gool la’aan ka dib saacaddii.
Goolka Chelsea ay ka dhalisay Nottingham Forest iyo goolka Everton ay ka dhalisay St. James’ Park ayaa la micno ahaa in Villa ay si dhuumasho ah ugu soo gashay kaalinta shanaad 20 daqiiqo oo ciyaarta ka harsan, waxaana si xun looga beeniyay hoggaan aan la filayn markii Thomas Bramall uu ku dhawaaqay rigoore Altay Bayındır oo la sheegay inuu qalad ku galay Morgan Rogers ka hor inta uusan xiddiga heerka caalami ee England kubadda ku hubsan shabaq madhan. Dib u daawashada ayaa muujisay in goolhayaha United uusan labada gacmood ku heysan kubadda markii Rogers uu ka dulqaaday, laakiin VAR ma soo faragelin karin sababtoo ah Bramall ayaa dhawaaqay ka hor inta uusan Rogers dhalinin.
Si xun ayay Villans u ahayd, goolka furitaanka ee United ayaa yimid daqiiqado ka dib, iyadoo Amad uu madaxa ku hubsaday kubadda Robin Olsen birta dambe.
Everton ayaa weli hogaaminaysay Newcastle taasoo kooxda martida ah siisay rajo, laakiin rajadoodii ahayd inay dhaliyaan gool barbaro daqiiqadihii ugu dambeeyay ayaa burburtay markii Ian Maatsen uu jidka u galay Amad gudaha xerada ganaaxa. Kulankiisii ugu dambeeyay ee kooxda, Christian Eriksen ayaa dhaliyay rigoorada wuxuuna xaqiijiyay guushii United – guushoodii ugu horreysay ee Premier League tan iyo Maarso 16.
