It was a tough game for Everton. As much as they tried to buy this win by purchasing Standard Liege's better player, Marouane Felliani. The team was happy to see the return of Ossie.
You'd think that with a full complement of the first XI players, Everton should be doing quite ok. But it turned out otherwise. In the 8th minute, Lescott was one of the culprit who could have cleared the ball away. Instead, he dillied-dallied and the ball was tapped beyond him. A cross and a goal. Everton was down 1-0.
In the 22 minute, Everton maintained parity with Yak scoring from a lovely pass from Ossie. Wonderful contribution, and wonderful sweeping goal.
But Everton was on a backfoot again when an innoculous ball that was floated across the Everton penalty box was slotted in by Yobo. Own goal!
But in the 37th minute, Castillo tried to prove why Moyes should consider taking him in on a permanent basis when he blasted the ball into the net! Everton 2-2 Standard Liege and it ended with this score.
Everton will have the unenviable task of needing to score to win in the 2nd leg. It'll be tough. Well, I guess we might as well focus on our Premiership.
