Everton v Cobresal

The game itself was pretty entertaining!

Everton went behind after 7 minutes before equilasing on the half hour mark. However there were 2 more goals in the next 5 minutes meaning it was 2-2 going into half time. Everton were probably unlucky not to be ahead.

The first 35 minutes of the second half left a lot to be desired, that was until Everton took the lead of 81 minutes. However, deep into added time there was an extremely long VAR check for a penalty to Cobresal. Both sets of players swarmed around the VAR screen to try and see for themselves / sway the referee, and in the end a penalty was given and converted!

Even after this Everton had a huge penalty claim turned down which was checked by the out of stadium VAR but no further intervention was necessary. A drama filled 3-3 draw in true Everton fashion!

On the way out of the ground we bumped into Dan G and his family (dad, mum and 2 brothers) for a quick introduction and picture.

Thanks Everton for a great evening!Read more
