Angular material open menu in a single click

Question

I have 2 angular material icons with in one component, each with a menu - for example menu1 and menu2. When I click the menu1 icon it will open the menu1 list. Then, when I click the menu2 icon I need to close the menu1 list and open menu2. But now I need to do two clicks to do this activity. First click closes the menu1 and only second click opens the menu2. How can I implement one-click open of the second menu using mat-menu?

Menu1 html

<button mat-icon-button [matMenuTriggerFor]="menu1" aria-label="Example icon-button with a menu">
  <mat-icon>more_vert</mat-icon>
</button>
<mat-menu #menu1="matMenu">
  <button mat-menu-item>
    <mat-icon>dialpad</mat-icon>
    <span>Redial</span>
  </button>
</mat-menu>

Menu2 html

<button mat-icon-button [matMenuTriggerFor]="menu2" aria-label="Example icon-button with a menu">
      <mat-icon>more_vert</mat-icon>
    </button>
    <mat-menu #menu2="matMenu">
      <button mat-menu-item>
        <mat-icon>dialpad</mat-icon>
        <span>Redial</span>
      </button>
    </mat-menu>

Example present angular material sample. My question is how open and close menu in a single short?
