JAKARTA - The duel between two former Real Madrid coaches took place at the Goodison Park Stadium, Thursday, February 11 morning. Carlo Ancelotti successfully led Everton to silence Jose Mourinho's Tottenham Hotspur with a score of 5-4 in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Launched Antara, five of the nine goals that were created in the match were born in the first half which ended with Everton's 3-2 advantage.
After Erik Lamela's first chance was secured by goalkeeper Robin Olsen, Tottenham were able to open the scoring in the third minute with Davison Sanchez's close-range header following a corner from Son Heung-min.
Tottenham's superiority was immediately subjected to a tough test when Sanchez blocked Richarlison's shot and Ben Godfrey's follow-up shot was countered by goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
Then in the 19th minute, Lloris reacted carefully again to ward off Dominic Calvert-Lewin's close range opportunity to hit the ball into the post and only produce a corner.
On a different side of the pitch, Olsen also made at least three important saves to block Son's powerful shot, Erik Lamela's long-range shot and Steven Bergwijn's low strike.
In the 36th minute, Everton finally equalized with a Calvert-Lewin volley to finish Gylfi Sigurdsson's pass.
Two minutes later, the hosts took the lead when Richarlison fired a shot that was directed over Toby Alderweireld's feet and fell beyond Lloris's save effort.
Everton's lead was increased again in the 43rd minute through Sigurdsson's penalty after Calvert-Lewin was brought down by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the area.
Tottenham scored just before the half-time whistle through Lamela who took advantage of Yerry Mina's failure to cut Son's pass and finish with Olsen's unstoppable hard kick to make it 2-3.

Jose Mourinho's team entered the second half with great aggressiveness and in the 57th minute Sanchez scored its second goal by grabbing a gagged ball to equalize 3-3.
However, Everton were able to restore their lead in the 68th minute with Richarlison's second goal calmly deluding Lloris from a tight angle after receiving a pass from Sigurdsson.
Seven minutes before normal time, Tottenham managed to equalize again through Harry Kane who flew to head in Son's low cross.
The goal marked the first time in 981 games in Mourinho's coaching career he has experienced his team and opponents alike scoring at least four goals in a single game.
The draw score lasts until normal time is over and the match is continued to an additional round of 2x15 minutes.
Tottenham had their first chance in the extra half, but Kane's shot was still weak and was easily tamed by Olsen, whereas Everton were able to finish their attack with Sigurdsson's hull that Bernard was able to chase and grab into the visitors' goal.
The second half of the extra started with opportunities on a different side of the pitch, when Mina thundered past Kane and Sigurdsson's shot was tipped off by Lloris.
Tottenham failed to score a return goal so that when the extra time ended, Everton had the right to step into the FA Cup quarter-finals.
