Quiet start to the second half at Hill Dickinson Stadium with the stats unchanged since the break - still goalless and still 0-0. Coventry carry their first-half momentum in terms of shots (8-4) but neither side has created anything notable yet in these opening minutes after the restart.

Coventry have continued their upturn in form and now lead the shot count 6-4 after adding four more attempts in this spell. Sakamoto forced a good stop from Pickford, Dasilva and Torp both had efforts blocked, and Torp also fired wide earlier, with Everton restricted to defending crosses and blocks rather than threatening Rushworth themselves. Still goalless at the break approaches, but Coventry are now the side looking the more dangerous going forward.

Coventry have found a foothold in this last spell after a one-sided period for Everton. Rudoni headed wide from Dasilva's cross and Gboho fired just off target from range, their first shots of the game, while the game has become slightly scrappier with free kicks conceded by both sides. Everton still lead the shot count 4-2 and shade possession, but Coventry look more of a threat than they did ten minutes ago.

Everton have taken control since that last update, flipping the possession stats in their favour and racking up four shots to Coventry's none. Barry had a blocked effort from a tight angle, Mykolenko forced Rushworth into a save, and George also saw a shot blocked, before Everton won a corner from Torp's challenge. It's been one-way traffic in the final third, though Coventry are yet to really threaten at the other end.

A quiet opening with neither side carving out a clear chance yet. Coventry have shaded possession so far and forced an early free kick when Dibling fouled Gboho, but the final ball has been lacking from both sides and the shot count remains blank at 0-0.
