Title: Man Utd, Everton And Mexico Triumph In Ballymena
Post by: Folami David on Aug 03, 2013, 08:30 PM
Oliver McBurney's injury-time header gave Manchester United a 1-0 win over County Tyrone in the Milk Cup Premier Section final in Ballymena. United hit the post before McBurney secured a fifth Premier Section success for the Old Trafford teenagers.
.
Everton beat County Antrim 4-3 on penalties in the Junior Section decider after the game finished 1-1.
.
Mexico had a player sent off against Northern Ireland but still won 2-1 to retain the Elite Section title.
.
The Mexicans were rewarded for their strong first-half display when Kevin Gutierrez netted a superb free- kick after 32 minutes.
.
Northern Ireland equalised against the run of play on 53 minutes with Cameron McGeehan scoring from the spot after Sergio Flores handled in the box.
.
Tempers frayed 10 minutes later and Rodrigo Gonzalez was shown a straight red card for a push on McGeehan, while team-mate Carlos Arreola was lucky to stay on the pitch after striking Northern Ireland's goalscorer.
.
Northern Ireland failed to take advantage of the extra man and Lozano's back-post strike in the 73rd minute won it for the Mexicans.
.
Anthony Evans and Nathan Broadhead hit the woodwork for the young Toffees in the Junior Section final but County Antrim were first to find the net.
.
Brendy Glackin's penalty put the local side ahead with nine minutes left before Michael Taylor volleyed home the equaliser three minutes later.
.
Antrim may have lost the shoot- out but they had the
honour of being the first county team to appear in a Milk Cup final.
.
The tournament finished with the Premier Section final, where United were frustrated by a well- organised County Tyrone outfit.
.
United began to carve out chances in the second half, beginning with Joe Riley heading over from eight yards.
.
Andreas Pereira's shot hit a post and excellent goalkeeping from Patrick Molloy took Tyrone to the verge of a penalty shoot-out.
.
However, McBurney gave United a deserved victory in the first minute of injury time when his back-post header from a corner hit the bar and bounced over the line.
.
Tyrone had a last-gasp penalty claim turned down when United keeper Joel Pereira collided with Mark Megarry as he ran into the area.
