Thanks for joining Tribe for this coverage. There's plenty more Footballing action over the weekend so be sure to stay with us. Until next time, this is Sanil Karan signing off.
As the match progressed, Spurs took full advantage of their chances, with Sarr and Solanke adding to their tally and putting the game beyond Qarabag's reach. In the end, it was a very good night for Spurs, who will leave the pitch with a sense of accomplishment, knowing they overcame adversity and secured a crucial win. The performance also highlighted the need for Qarabag to sharpen their finishing as they look to improve in their upcoming fixtures.
Qarabag, for their part, demonstrated plenty of attacking intent and created several opportunities to equalize, but their finishing let them down on multiple occasions. Time and again, they found themselves in promising positions, only to be thwarted by Spurs' defense or the brilliance of goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. Despite the pressure they exerted, they were unable to find the back of the net, a fact that will be frustrating for their coaching staff.
The opening stages of the match were overshadowed by Dragusin's dismissal, which left Spurs to navigate the remainder of the game with a numerical disadvantage. However, instead of crumbling, they rallied and displayed remarkable composure, with Johnson breaking the deadlock with a well-taken goal. This early strike seemed to galvanize the team and set the tone for the rest of the match, allowing them to build momentum and maintain control despite Qarabag's threatening counter-attacks.
In a thrilling contest, Spurs secured a vital victory against Qarabag, overcoming the challenge of playing with ten men following Dragusin's early red card. Despite the setback, Spurs showcased their resilience and determination, with goals from Johnson, Sarr, and Solanke ensuring they left London with all three points. While the final scoreline suggested a comfortable win, the match was anything but straightforward, as Qarabag put Spurs under significant pressure throughout.

90'
Spurs press forward once more as Pape Matar Sarr makes an aggressive run towards the edge of the box. He attempts to play a through ball for young Mikey Moore, who is positioned on the left, but the pass lacks the necessary precision and weight. Consequently, Qarabag intercept the ball, successfully clearing the threat.
88'
Emmanuel Addai locates Yassine Benzia on the left, who attempts to deliver a cross into the box. However, the quality of the cross falls short, lacking precision, and it is easily intercepted by Gray. The Spurs defender remains alert, ensuring that the danger is swiftly dealt with.
