Dallas Cup: Everton 6 - 0 Bolivar
Everton's Under-19s played their final game in Bracket C of the Gordon Jago Super Group at the 33rd Dallas Cup against Club Bolivar of Bolivia. They needed a lot of goals to top the group, and did great in the first half, scoring FIVE, with a hat-trick for Anton Forrester. Just one more in the second half gave them a 6 - 0 win... but will it be enough to reach the semi-finals of the Dallas Cup? Coritiba beat Kashiwa 4 - 1 in the final group game and therefore progress to the semi-finals as group leaders. Everton join them as the wildcard team with the best 2nd-place record... and on Friday they now play... Man Utd!


From the @DallasCupLive Twitter feed:

Everton need to win and hope that Kashiwa draw with Coritiba... If Kashiwa wins, then they take the group with 7 pts. If Coritiba wins, then Everton need to win by a large magin to overcome their goal difference... but they don't know the target as Coritiba and Kashiwa kick off after this game finishes..

Everton and Bolivar have just kicked off... looks like the same lineup as Monday for the Blues.

1-0 Everton! Forrester cross is headed home by Hallam Hope after 10 mins.

2-0 Everton! Anton Forrester slides home a cross from what looked like Conor Grant sfter 14 mins. This one could get ugly!

3-0! Everton corner is headed on by Pennington and Forrester easily taps it in.

4-0! Hallam Hope with a fantastic solo run down the right rounds the keeper and slides it to Ross Barkley who taps home.

Penalty to Everton... long ball played to Forrester who is taken down on a silly challenge from Bolivar player. Forrester completes his first-half hat-trick from the spot.

Half-Time: Everton 5 - 0 Bolivar

The Twitter feed died in the second half but we know the final score...

Full Time: Everton 6 - 0 Bolivar

So Coritiba top the group while Everton finish with the best second-place record across the three groups and progress to the semi-finals on a wildcard.

Bracket C Final Table:

Coritiba    3   2   0   1   11  2  +9  6
Everton     3   2   0   1   10  4  +6  6
