When Will the Match End? The Jerseys Have the Answer

Everton had been beaten numb.

Most of the players just wanted the match to end quickly, then wait for the head coach to give them some psychological guidance so they could throw themselves back into the next game.

But some were mentally tougher.

In the seventy-first minute.

After Deda saved Sober's shot, he immediately launched a long-ball counterattack.

Baizami raced clear, only to be brought down by Plasedes at the end, winning Everton a free kick in a good position.

Plasedes was shown a yellow card for it.

It was a necessary defensive foul. A booking was only natural.

Otherwise, they would have conceded directly.

Sasso immediately pulled Plasedes back to his feet.

Plasedes then bent down to straighten his socks, before casually adjusting the captain's armband on his arm... Wait, he did not have a captain's armband.

This was Newcastle, not AC Milan.

Plasedes's movements visibly stiffened for a moment before he shook his head.

The cameras caught the scene, and many AC Milan fans could not help feeling touched when they saw it. They knew exactly what Plasedes was thinking.

Vegard then stepped up to take the free kick.

His curling shot cleared the wall, struck the inside of the post, and ricocheted into the net.

It left Kasper feeling utterly helpless.

There was no way to save that ball.

It was an absolute wonder goal.

"Five-two! Everton have pulled one back."

"Though they are still far behind, at least they will not leave the match completely humiliated."

"Newcastle have made substitutions. Ancarelli replaces Mandzukovic, and Kompany replaces Plasedes."

"This adjustment reflects Newcastle's relaxed mindset. Without a traditional target striker, they may play more flexibly from here on."

That goal rekindled Everton's fighting spirit to some extent.

After Newcastle kicked off, Everton launched a wave of Frontcourt Pressing.
