Round 24 of the English Premier League was held on the 31st local time, with Brighton facing Everton at their home venue, AMEX Stadium. This match lasted 90 minutes and left us with more emotions and stories than the result. โฝโจ For Brighton, who suffered a disappointing come-from-behind defeat against Fulham in the previous match, this match was an important one for them to rebuild. Immediately after kickoff, the strong resolve that we cannot afford to lose consecutively at home was evident throughout the pitch. ๐ฅ The person who attracted attention was Kaoru Mitoma, the Japanese representative. Mitoma, who started his fifth consecutive league game, excited the stadium every time he received the ball on the left side. ๐ฏ๐ตโก Sharp dribbling, accurate crosses, and speed that changes the situation in an instant. It would be no exaggeration to say that his presence was the essence of Brighton’s attack. In the 3rd minute of the first half, Welbeck was close to scoring from Mitoma’s left cross, and Brighton took the initiative from the start. In the 13th minute, Rรผtel had a clear chance, and in the 18th minute, Mitoma himself created a one-on-one with the goalkeeper. ๐ฎ Unfortunately, we didn’t score a goal, but each play completely swayed the flow of the game towards Brighton’s side. Everton, on the other hand, were able to withstand the situation while solidifying their defence. The first half was a tough one with zero shots, but they still didn’t concede a goal and ended the first half scoreless. This patience becomes a foreshadowing for the second half. In the second half, Everton gradually started to counterattack. Although Brighton created chances, they lacked a clear shot, and the game remained at a stalemate. However, in the 73rd minute, the deadlock was finally broken. โจ Gross received a call back from the right side and calmly slotted it into the goal for the first goal. As it was his first goal since his return, the cheers in the stadium reached a climax. ๐ At this moment, many fans were sure of victory. However, in the Premier League, you never know what will happen until the end. In the 83rd minute, there was a play involving Mitoma that looked like an extra point, but VAR ruled it offside. The joy suddenly turns into a sigh. ๐ And then came additional time. Everton will launch a fierce attack with everything on the line. Last play, a cross from the right side. They were forced into a loose ball in the melee and scored the equalizer in the 90+7 minute. The moment the final whistle rang, there was silence and frustration at Brighton. Two points lost just before three points. Still, what this match showed is by no means small. Kaoru Mitoma’s presence, his perfection as a team, and the harshness of the Premier League. This experience will definitely lead to the next match. ๐ช๐ฅ Soccer can be cruel at times, but it’s also a beautiful sport. We continue to be fascinated by this game because of the never-give-up attitude until the last second and the drama that goes beyond winning or losing. โฝโค๏ธ Brighton’s challenge is not over yet. Kaoru Mitoma’s story will continue to accelerate from here. What kind of scenery will they show us in the next game? Let’s witness that moment together. โจ โฝ๐ฅ๐ฏ๐ต๐ #Kaoru Mitoma #Brighton #Premier League #PremierLeague #Japanese players #overseas soccer #soccer #football #AMEX stadium #Everton #gross #soccer drama #dramatic ending #last play #VAR #goal #draw #regrettation #next #challenge #Japan national team #European soccer #I want to connect with people who love soccer #Football #Soccer #MatchDay #Brighton #Mitoma
