Former Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood put the visitors up 1-0 after 20 minutes. Greenwood found space between a line of defenders and cheekily lobbed goalkeeper Augusto Batalla from just inside the box. The ball may have taken a deflection on the way in.

Mayoral's goal 15 minutes later was even more fortunate as Batalla slipped in possession, allowing Mayoral to steal the ball in front of goal and tap it into the empty net.
