Football played two games that night, and it played a crazy plot. A match in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final was played between Chelsea and Middlesbrough. Chelsea are the 10th ranked team in the Premier League, while Middlesbrough are the 12th ranked team in the Championship. There is a huge gap in the total value of the two sides. Chelsea are worth a whopping €1 billion, while Middlesbrough is worth €68.35 million. Many people thought Chelsea would win the game easily, but they didn't expect the game to turn out as a surprise.
Colwill made an early mistake and gave Middlesbrough a big gift, but it was a pity that Rattle didn't take the opportunity. The bad thing is that Rattle got injured in this opportunity. Palmer's long-range shot is saved. Palmer is active, but his ability to take chances is too spicy. He had a good one-on-one chance, but his shot was deflected wide. The balance of the game was shattered in the 37th minute when Harkney breached the Chelsea open to give Middlesbrough the lead. Chelsea then went on a rampage, with Caicedo, Enzo and Palmer all getting shots on target, but none were on target. Palmer had the best chance and was kicked away in the face of an empty goal. Chelsea were 1-0 down at half-time.
In the second half, Madueke and Conor Gallagher failed to find the back of the net. Pochettino made a substitution in the 63rd minute, bringing on Mykhailo Mudryk and Armando Broja. However, these two were also unable to help the team. Middlesbrough relied on the strength of the team and held on. The final score was set at 0-1 as Chelsea lost to Middlesbrough in a big upset.
In the Coppa Italia 1 4 finals, Fiorentina, ranked 4th in Serie A, faced Bologna, ranked 5th in Serie A. It was a close game. Fiorentina conceded possession after the opening kick-off and created fewer chances. Bologna didn't have many chances either, and the closest they came to scoring in the first half was Zirkze's push, which hit the crossbar in a woe's way. At half-time, the score was still 0-0!
Bologna had another good chance in the second half, however, Orsolini's long-range shot was denied by the post. It was unfortunate that two shots were blocked by the woodwork. Florence was lucky enough to escape again. Both sides defended well, with chances still scarce. At the end of normal time, the score was still 0-0!In extra time, both sides also failed to score. Had to decide the winner through a penalty shootout. Bologna missed their fifth penalty. As a result, Fiorentina beat Bologna 5-4.
