James Rodríguez and Yerry Mina were pure joy this Sunday. Colombian footballers were instrumental in Everton’s qualification for the FA Cup fifth round after beating Sheffield Wednesday 3-0.
Rodríguez took the thread of the team and passed two goal passes. While Yerry, true to his habit, made a good header to reach his third touchdown of the season.
The game started very early in favor of Everton, who started to win in the 29th minute with a goal from Calvert-Lewin, their goalscorer.
And then came the magic of James, who, with two excellent centers in the 59th and 62nd minutes, led to goals from Brazilian Richarlison and Yerry respectively.
The midfielder and center-back have had a very good campaign with Everton sixth in the Premier.
In the same tournament, midfielder Steven Alzate scored and assisted Brighton’s 2-1 win over Blackpool.

In Germany, striker Jhon Córdoba made headlines and scored for Hertha Berlin. However, his team lost 4-1 to Werder Bremen.
In addition, winger Cristian Borja became champion of the Portuguese Cup with Sporting Lisbon.
