The guests started the game with great force and in the first minutes they settled in the middle of Everton.
The situation of the first goal came in the eighth minute, when Paul Pogba received the ball in the penalty area, remaining alone, but instead of shooting, he opted to pass with a heel for Donnie van de Beek. The Dutchman fired, but goalkeeper Robin Olsen took a corner.
The pressure from the “red devils” continued, and the “candies” had no response to the rhythm set by the guests.
In the 14th minute Axel Tuanzebe managed to break through to the right and combined with Bruno Fernandes in the penalty area, but the Portuguese shot was blocked by a host player.
Two minutes later, Alex Teles crossed down the left, where Ben Godfrey hung from the far post and Edinson Cavani fired a volley, but Olsen was right. The ball hit Cavani again, who tried another shot in the near corner, but again blocked the Swedish guard of the “caramels”.
In the 24th minute, Teles re-crossed down the left into the penalty area, where Mason Greenwood intercepted with his head, but the ball bounced off Olsen’s left crossbar.
Three minutes later, Pogba headed a Teles cross from a corner, but weak and straight into Olsen’s hands.
However, after half an hour of play, the hosts woke up and looked at Dean Henderson’s door.
In minute 35 came the first corner for the “candies”, followed by the first accurate shot for the team. It was sent by Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who intercepted the cross with his head, but Henderson caught it.
Just two minutes later, the Liverpool Blues had the right to take a direct free kick in front of United’s penalty area. Gilfi Sigurdsson fired dangerously and Henderson had to shoot over the crossbar.
In the 41st minute Sigurdsson fired again on the pitch, but weakly in the hands of the goalkeeper.
In added time in the first half, Olsen caught a shot from Bruno Fernandes.
There is still everything to play at Goodison Park 💪

The second half did not start with the dizzying pace of the first, but United again had the first more dangerous situation. In the 49th minute, Edinson Cavani chilled a pass from the right into the penalty area and shot into the near corner, but there was a rebound and the ball went to the corner. However, the repetitions showed that the Uruguayan helped himself with his hand in controlling the ball, but the VAR system is not used in the tournament.
In 62 ‘Cavani broke down the right and passed inside through Pogba, who in turn continued through Fernandes. The Portuguese shot from a movement from the arc of the penalty area, but above the gate.
Soon after, Anthony Marcial and Marcus Rashford appeared in the game for the Red Devils, replacing Donnie van de Beek and Mason Greenwood. Earlier, Bernard came into play for Everton, replacing the injured Richardson as well as Tom Davis in place of Andre Gomes.
In the following minutes there was a lot of marriage in the actions of both teams, since the game was stopped many times due to infractions and naturally there were situations in front of both goalkeepers.
Ten minutes before the end of regulation time, Teles fired hard from a direct free kick right in front of the home team’s penalty area, but over Olsen’s goal.
In the 87th minute Alex Youobi crossed from the right into the penalty area, where Sigurdsson hit his head, but in the out.
However, just a minute later, Man United reached the long-awaited goal. Anthony Marcial combined with Cavani in the Everton half, and the Uruguayan took the ball well and from the edge of the area made a deadly kick diagonally and sent the ball inescapably into the door of Robin Olsen – 0: 1.
In added time, the Red Devils came close to scoring a second goal, but a hard strike from Fernandes deflected the crossbar and Robin Olsen blocked a shot from Marcus Rashford.
Everton went with all their strength in attack and completely forgot about defense, which in the last seconds United counterattacked and Martial formed the final score of 0: 2. Thus, Manchester United will play the semi-finals of the tournament.
