Tottenham without SON saved wonder goal… beat Burnley to advance to FA Cup round 32
Tottenham without “Captain” Son Heung-min. It was not easy from the first game.
Tottenham beat Burnley 1–0 in the third round (final of 64) of the 2023–24 FA Cup at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 5 a.m. on the 6th (Korea time).
Tottenham had to fill Son’s absence on the day. Son joined the Korean national soccer team after a Premier League match against Bournemouth on April 31 to participate in the Asian Cup of Asian Football Confederation (AFC).
Instead of Son Heung-min, midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur filled the captain’s armband.
Home team Tottenham pulled out a 4–2–3–1 formation. Hisharlisson was at the forefront, and Brennan Johnson, Giovanni Lo Celso and Dejan Kulusevski were located in the second line. Bentancur and Oliver Skipp were located in the midfield. The four-back line was built by Destiny Udodge, Ben Davies, Emerson Royal and Pedro Porro. The goal was saved by Guglielmo Vicario.
Burnley, who faced off in a 4–4–2 formation, started with strikers Zeki Amdouni and Ryle Foster, as well as midfielders Josh Cullen and Aaron Ramsey.
The two teams exchanged fierce battles. Even if Son Heung-min, the core of Tottenham’s offense, was absent, Tottenham’s offense was sharp. In the 10th minute of the first half, the goalkeeper blocked the right foot shot that winger Johnson hit when he came in from the left side.
Burnley also missed a decisive chance. In the 27th minute of the first half, Amdouni faced Tottenham’s goalkeeper Vicario one-on-one in the penalty box, but his shot after a rather disappointing trapping soared above the goal. 헤라카지노주소
The balance of zero was broken in the second half. The protagonist is Tottenham fullback prisoner. In the 33rd minute of the second half, Porro’s right footed shot as he advanced toward Burnley’s penalty box swung around the top left corner of the goal. It was a “wonder goal” that was so difficult to prevent that goalkeeper Burnley just stood and looked at.
Burnley were held back by poor ‘decision-making power’. The last corner kick chance he got when he was 0–1 down. Burnley had the goalkeeper involved in the attack win a corner kick with a header, and the ball went to Amdouni at the door. However, Amdouni’s straight shot went off the post.
