JAKARTA - Fulham eliminated Everton 7-6 through a penalty shootout in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup or English League Cup at Goodison Park Stadium, Wednesday, December 20 in the morning WIB. Defender Tosin Adarbioyo is the determinant who passes Fulham to the semifinals.

Fuham has almost won the quarter-final match in normal time if Beto doesn't thwart it. But Fulham managed to get out of the pressure on penalties.

The duel of fellow English Premier League teams is indeed tight. Everton is actually a little seeded. In addition to appearing at home, The Toffees shows a good trend in domestic competitions.

Everton had slumped to the relegation zone due to financial rule violations. However, Sean Dyche's team managed to get up and get out of the red zone.

This was Everton's good capital when appearing in the Carabao Cup. They hope that the positive trend can continue. However, this Liverpool club failed to meet the target.

Fulham, who was not reinforced by the mainstay player Raul Jimenez because of the ban on playing, actually showed his best performance. Despite playing at home to the opponent, Fulham actually appeared to attack.

But The Cottagers were only able to break into Everton's goal towards the end of the first half. It was also caused by Michael Keane's own goal in the 41st minute. Score 1-0 for Marco Silva's men when the first half was over.

Entering the second half, Fulham's appearance did not change. They tried to maintain a one-goal advantage. On the other hand, Everton, who played at home, emphasized the attack.

Everton's offensive attack finally paid off when Beto, who came on to replace Dominic Calvert-Lewin, broke into Fulham's goal in the 82nd minute. The score changed to 1-1 and lasted until the end of the match so it continued with a penalty shootout.

In the penalty shootout, four Everton executors finished well. Only Amadou Onana as the fifth executor failed.

Whereas previously, Fulham had failed when Bobby Reid's execution was saved by goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. Unfortunately, the England goalkeeper failed to contain Vinicius' fifth execution of Fulham.

When the sudden death penalty entered its third kicker, midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye failed to complete the execution.

Instead, Adarbioyo managed to beat Pickford which made Fulham win 7-6 and qualify for the semifinals.
