The tournament he needed. In the hard and silent since December 29, Romelu Lukaku scored the second goal of his tournament against Palmeiras. After being the hero against Al-Hilal Riyad with the only goal of the game, the Red Devils striker did it again in the final. This allowed the Blues to take control of the game in the second half.
On his action, Hudson-Odoi sends him a perfect center in the box. With a lot of power, he rises higher than everyone and sends a headbutt into the top corner of the opposing goalkeeper. A pure center-forward goal that will, a little more, cheer him up.
A few minutes after his goal, the Brazilians equalized from the penalty spot after a handball by Thiago Silva. The two teams will therefore play extra time … without Romelu Lukaku. Number nine being released in the 76th.
