On the night of March 16 (Vietnam time), Newcastle faced Liverpool in the English League Cup final after 70 years of not winning any major domestic titles.
With great determination, they took the initiative and caused Liverpool many difficulties. At the end of the first half, Dan Burn jumped high to head the ball from Kieran Trippier's corner kick, opening the score for Newcastle. During the first 45 minutes, The Kop did not create any clear chances, without a shot on target.
At the beginning of the second half, Arne Slot's players played better, but that was also the time when they conceded a second goal from Alexander Isak's beautiful shot.
In a desperate bid to change the situation with little time left, manager Arne Slot brought on Cody Gakpo and Federico Chiesa, although Gakpo has just recovered from injury, and Chiesa has rarely been used this season.
And it was Chiesa who lit up Liverpool's hopes in the last minute when he finished dangerously after a sprint. But The Kop could not create more opportunities, sadly becoming the former champion of the tournament.
The 2-1 victory helped Newcastle end a decade-long title drought. Eddie Howe's team has brought home the highly anticipated trophy after nearly 4 years of being taken over by owners from Saudi Arabia.
