In an evenly matched contest, Everton had several clear chances and appeared to have scored in the first half. However, Brennan Johnson's goal was disallowed due to an offside call after he nudged in the ball following a clearance off the line from a shot by Harrison Armstrong. Barry had multiple opportunities to find the net, including a close-range header that was saved and a missed chance just three yards out while the score was tied at 1-1.
This match also marked Everton's first since reports surfaced that their owners, The Friedkin Group, are considering selling the club.
