Dean Smith`s players were also the more demanding team in the second half, but never found a way to overcome the defense of their somewhat distracted opponent, who may have been a little calmer after securing his stay in the English elite after an Old HicksTrafford against Manchester United in the last round.
In the 84th minute, the guests still managed to score. The ball was thrown from a touch to Kainan Davis, he played with his teammate, made deceptive moves and passed to Jack Greenish around the arc. The captain advanced a few feet and scored with a hard hit.
