“Ange Postecoglou’s wards scored very hard in this match”, — write: sport.ua
In the first half, the representatives of the lower league successfully faced the famous opponent, demonstrating an organized defense. Sensing that Tottenham were not as formidable, the Tamworth players even created a few isolated counter-attacks.
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 proved too difficult for Tamworth. In extra time, the team began to lose 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 period, Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson cemented the advantage, bringing the score to a landslide.
