Not many predicted this match to end the way it did, especially considering the fact that Hull City had never beaten Manchester United in any top flight football game. But at the end of the game, the newly promoted Hull City were 3 points and 2 goals to be good.

Hull City scored both goals in the first half, all coming from their centre backs. Interestingly, Nigeria's Super Eagles defender, Semi Ajayi opened the scoring for Hull in the 17th minute. This goal was so significant as it marked the first Premier league goal for Hull City after 9 years. Nobel Mendy scored the second goal in the 38th minute, after rising high to head in a cross, both goals coming from set pieces .

For United, this would serve as a wake up call, but for Hull City, it is a statement of intent, it shows how important they want to stay up, and securing all three points against a United side that finished in the top four last season, was a strong affirmation.

The game also witnessed the return of Marcus Rashford after a long loan spell at Barcelona last season. He was introduced early in the second half, but could not make any difference.

To be fair, United did have their chances, but Hull City's goalkeeper was also briliant.

Coach of Manchester United Michael Carrick has said his side didn't click on a difficult afternoon and that the defeat does not stop the long term project.

Is it too early in the season for any worries for united, or could this be early warning signs? Should United take advantage of the transfer window while it is still open? Or could this be one of those bad days that will pass?

Algeria have secured a historic bronze medal at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations after defeating hosts Morocco 3–2 on penalties following a 1–1 draw in Saturday’s third-place play-off in Rabat.

The victory marks Algeria’s best-ever finish at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, with the Desert Foxes claiming their first medal in the history of the competition. Algeria had reached the semi-finals for the first time before losing 3–1 to Malawi.

Morocco take the lead

Playing in front of their home supporters at the Rabat Olympic Stadium, Morocco started strongly and took the lead through Kautar Azraf, who put the Atlas Lionesses ahead before the interval.

Algeria, however, refused to give up and continued to push for an equaliser as the match progressed.

Their persistence eventually paid off when they found the equaliser in the second half, sending the match into a tense finish.

Morocco then had a golden opportunity to win the match in stoppage time after being awarded a penalty. Nouhaila Benzina stepped up but struck the post, allowing Algeria to survive and force the game into a penalty shootout.

Algeria hold their nerve in shootout

The penalty shootout proved decisive as Algeria converted three of their attempts, while Morocco managed only two.

Morocco 2–3 Algeria on penalties.

Algeria's Inès Belloumou converted the decisive spot-kick, sparking celebrations among the Algerian players and coaching staff.

The result completed a remarkable tournament for Algeria, who had already made history by reaching the semi-finals for the first time.

Disappointment for Morocco

For Morocco, the defeat brought a painful end to another campaign in front of their home supporters.

The Atlas Lionesses had hoped to go one step further after finishing runners-up in the previous two editions hosted by the country. Instead, they finished fourth after losing two consecutive matches on penalties — first to Cameroon in the semi-final and now to Algeria in the third-place play-off.

Despite missing out on a medal, Morocco's run to the semi-finals secured their qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup, which will be held in Brazil.

A historic night for Algeria

The bronze medal represents a major milestone for Algerian women's football.

CAF had already noted before the match that Algeria were guaranteed their highest-ever WAFCON finish regardless of the result. The victory over Morocco has now ensured that the achievement comes with a historic medal.

The Algerian team can now celebrate finishing third in Africa while preparing for another major milestone — their first appearance at the FIFA Women's World Cup.

Final Result

Morocco 1–1 Algeria
Algeria win 3–2 on penalties

Algeria — Bronze medal
Morocco — Fourth place

Algeria's historic run has given the North African nation its first WAFCON medal and ended Morocco's hopes of securing a podium finish on home soil.
