Hello, good morning and sports greetings to all steemian friends. How are you today? Hopefully everyone is still in good health and always under the protection of Allah SWT so that they can carry out all activities well.
Newcastle United successfully won the 2025 Carabao Cup title after defeating Liverpool with a score of 2-1. The 2024-2025 Carabao Cup final match took place at Wembley Stadium, London, on Sunday (16/3/2025). The Magpies scored two goals through Dan Burn and Alexander Isak, while Liverpool could only reply with one goal through Federico Chiesa. Edie Howe's squad won 2-1 to become the 2024/2025 Carabao Cup champion. This is the first Carabao Cup title for Newcastle United in the club's history. Newcastle United ended their title drought after last lifting the Championship Division trophy in the 2016-2017 season.
The Carabao Cup final immediately took place at a high tempo at the start of the match. The fierce match made Newcastle and Liverpool have difficulty creating dangerous opportunities until the 20th minute of the match. In the 23rd minute, Newcastle through Sandro Tonali tried to threaten with a kick from outside the penalty box. However, Tonali's shot was still wide of Liverpool's goal. A few moments later, Newcastle United again threatened The Reds' goal. Dan Burn's header greeted a corner kick towards Bruno Guimaraes. The Magpies launched more dangerous attacks on Liverpool's defense entering the middle of the first half.
Dan Burn had another chance to score after receiving a corner kick. However, his header was too weak and was easily saved by goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher. In the 45th minute, Dan Burn scored Newcastle United's first goal after receiving a corner kick and shaking the Reds' goal. Trailing by one goal, Liverpool tried to respond quickly. However, Diogo Jota's shot in front of Newcastle's goal went wide. Alexander Isak had time to add a goal after grabbing the rebound from Dan Burn's flick but this goal was disallowed because Alexander Isak was caught offside.
Alexander Isak scored Newcastle United's second goal in the 52nd minute after receiving a rebound from Jacob Murphy. Trailing by two goals, Liverpool tried to rise. Curtis Jones got space when he received a pull pass from Dominik Szoboszlai. Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope brilliantly managed to block Curtis Jones' shot. The Reds had no choice but to continue attacking to catch up with the two-goal deficit. However, Newcastle United's defense line appeared so solid that it was difficult for Liverpool to penetrate. Until in the 90+5 minute, Federico Chiesa tore Nick Pope's goal and changed the score to 2-1.
