First Half:

The first half was quite even between the two sides, with the half ending 0-0. However, Spurs did not come extremely close to getting the lead many times with Son, Kane and Bergwijn coming very close to finding the net.

Second Half:

Tottenham Hotspur were more of a mess in the second half with losing position many times and even allowing Lokomotiv Plovdiv’s midfielder Georgi Minchev to score from a corner. Jose Mourinho’s side, however, did not give up and came back into the game. Lokomotiv Plovdiv’s two players were shown red cards which resulted in a penalty scored by Harry Kane. A winner was soon netted by Spurs’ last season’s star signing Tanguy N’dombele in the 92nd minute.
