The two flanks were left without a central attacking force, and with Havertz on the front line without the ball, Ziyech on the right flank remained invisible, and his near-red card just before the end of the first half was probably the longest of the game, and probably remained so for the entire first half.

Kulusevski took the ball into the center of the field, and then went to the right flank, Emerson was already in the box and shot, the ball was blocked by Kepa, and then kicked by Enzo Fernandes, but he didn't go far enough, and Skipp went 20 yards and shot directly into the top corner of the net, which was very fast and difficult.

As it turned out, Sunseri had only just come on when he took a corner at 81, Dier was in the center of the field powering Mount to work the ball towards the back post, and HarryKane was in the position to kick the ball into the goal at the first time of asking.
