Late drama and justice featured in a breathless finish to this riveting encounter. When Neco Williams challenged Yunus Akgun and Connor Roberts tackled Kerem Akturkoglu in the Wales area, each seemed clean yet the referee, Juan Martínez Munuera, awarded a penalty.

It was unclear for which player's (apparent) misdemeanour and the VAR did not intervene but when Akturkoglu stepped up his spot kick shaved Karl Darlow's left post and missed, which felt correct.
