Marine 0-5 Tottenham The Octava team did not fall apart against the ‘spurs’ in the FA Cup
GETTY
Pfor the first time in the centuries-old history of the FA Cup, an Eighth Division club met another Premier. The most unequal clash in football history had the Marine as the protagonist and Tottenham as the winner. Crosby’s team was thrashed (0-5) by Mourinho’s ‘spurs’ in the third round of the FA Cup.
The Marine lasted 24 minutes until Carlos Vincius made it 0-1. Before the goal of the former Benfica, Kengni ran into the crossbar touching a goal that would have been hysterical. However, Tottenham’s target broke the game. Mourinho’s team, which left Kane, Son, Ndombele … and a Reguiln on the bench in the second half, went 0-4 at halftime with goals from Lucas Moura and a Vincius who signed a hat -trick ‘in 45 minutes. He has six goals in nine games this season.
Since Frank Lampard in January 2007 to Macclesfield with Chelsea, no footballer of the Portuguese coach had a hat-trick in the FA Cup. The second half in the charming Rossett Park, in which the fans watched the game from their gardens as their entry was prohibited by covid-19, had as great news the return of Gareth Bale. The Welsh winger had not played since he was injured in the League Cup on 23 December against Stoke. They also debut with the older Alfie Devine … scoring! at 16 years and 162 days. A dream debut on a football afternoon on the banks of the Mersey. The Marine competed vigorously. It was his day.
