The Egyptian, within half an hour, scored to stretch the advantages but the goal was ruled out due to a slight position lead.
At 37′, Axel Disasi equalized . The French centre-back connected a Gallagher pivot in the penalty area after a poor dismissal by the London defence. Two minutes later, Chilwell was set up beautifully by Fernández and turned the tables. However, the mark was again overturned by VAR for offside.
