James Rodríguez and Yerry Mina were key pieces of Everton’s triumph this Saturday. The Toffees beat Steven Alzate’s Brighton 4-2. The Cucuteño scored two goals and gave an assist, while the Caucano scored one goal.
The game started badly for the Colombians after Alzate received a yellow card four minutes into the game. However, the figures were to appear for Everton.
At 16 minutes, Dominic Calvert-Lewin once again demonstrated his great scoring ability and headed the game 1-0.
Brighton’s equalizer came in the 41st minute. Pickford missed the ball and left it alive in the area. Although Mina wanted to reject, Maupay was more skillful and tapped the ball to make it 1-1.
But before going to rest, the first Colombian joy arrived. James took a free kick from the right sector and jumping more than everyone Mina appeared to score 2-1.
Already in the second half, Everton began to lay down their game on the left side. With Iwobi, who came in for Richarlison in the first half, there was depth and in the 52nd minute he made a pass that reached James, who only finished with a left to score 3-1.
Then it was time for Mina. Faced with the shortcomings that Pickford showed in the goal, the Cauca defender saved his goal twice by taking the ball almost on the line.
What Mina saved in her bow was taken advantage of by James in the other area. This time it was Doucouré who ran the ball down the left side and sent it to the far post, where again James appeared to define with the right.
James left the pitch in the 78th minute to applause from his teammates and the coach. The Colombian signed an impressive new performance.
Although Brighton scored one more goal through Bissouma, Mina also showed in another play that he was attentive and inspired to save his goal from another goal.
With another victory for Everton, James and Mina came out as the figures of the match and now they must join the Colombian National Team inspired to continue on that good path.
