In the first half, the representatives of the lower league successfully faced the famous opponent, demonstrating an organized defense. I felt that “Tottenham” is not so dangerous, the players of “Tamworth” even created several individual counterattacks.
In the second half of the match, the scenario remained the same. The home team purposefully tried to keep the score tied.
However, playing at the same pace for 90 minutes turned out to be too difficult for Tamworth. In extra time, the team began to give way physically.
In the 101st minute, “Tottenham” organized the first productive attack. After Dominic Solanke’s cross into the penalty area, Nathan Chikuna unsuccessfully cut the ball into his own goal.
In the second extra-time, Deyan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson consolidated the advantage, bringing the score to a crushing one.
