Trailing at home, Everton fought back strongly in the second half. Manager David Moyes' substitutions, bringing on Beto and Carlos Alcaraz, revitalized “The Toffees’” attack. In the 74th minute, Iliman Ndiaye was fouled by Maxence Lacroix inside the box, and Ndiaye calmly converted the penalty past goalkeeper Dean Henderson to equalize at 1-1.
