"Both Noah Sadiki and Simon Adingra had shots blocked early on, while 18-year-old Harrsion Armstrong saw a half-volley from the edge of the box fly narrowly over Roefs' goal after Sunderland struggled to clear their lines. The breakthrough then came in the 30th minute. The Toffees failed to deal with a long throw that found its way to Eliezer Mayenda, who teed up Le Fee for a first-time effort which nestled in the bottom-right corner."
"Vitalii Mykolenko went close either side of the break for Everton as they searched for an equaliser, with Dwight McNeil firing over from distance as they found it difficult to play through Sunderland's resolute defence. The visitors looked comfortable with their one-goal advantage, but Adam Aznou caught Nordi Mukiele dwelling on the ball in the box before drawing a foul from Trey Hume, and Garner sent the game to extra time by sending Roefs the wrong way from the spot."
Robin Roefs saved three penalties in the shoot-out to send Sunderland into the fourth round following a 1-1 draw with Everton. Enzo Le Fee opened the scoring with a first-half volley after Eliezer Mayenda’s assist from a long throw. Everton pressed after the break, with Vitalii Mykolenko and Dwight McNeil coming close, and James Garner converted an 89th-minute penalty after Adam Aznou drew a foul on Nordi Mukiele to force extra time. Neither side scored in the additional 30 minutes. In the shoot-out Le Fee, Granit Xhaka and Luke O'Nien scored while Roefs denied Garner, Thierno Barry and Beto.
