    Alfredo Morelos

    Alfredo Morelos wraps it up after great work from Daniel Candeias, who robs a dithering defender near halfway and then sends the Colombian scurrying forward with a neat back-heel. Morelos has Andy Halliday for company but goes his own way, sliding a neat shot beyond the advancing goalkeeper.
