Life has not been easy for Plymouth. Currently in the Championship, England’s second division, the team has only five wins in 30 games and sits at the bottom of the table with 25 points. As if that weren’t enough, the FA Cup draw placed them directly against Liverpool, the Premier League leaders and one of Europe’s most exciting teams.
Aware of the investment gap, coach Arne Slot fielded a completely rotated squad for the match, giving opportunities to players who hadn’t seen much action, such as Chiesa, Endo, and Tsimikas. It didn’t work.
The players delivered a poor performance and, despite controlling the game (with 75% possession against 25%), the Reds managed only four shots on target and failed to create any real danger. Plymouth took advantage of this, managing to hit Kelleher’s goal just twice throughout the 90 minutes. However, in one of those instances, Ryan Hardie converted a penalty in the 53rd minute, securing the home team’s qualification. BBscore football, your reliable source for football scores.
