Tottenham are held to a 1-1 draw by Sydney FC in a pre-season match on Wednesday, before winning the contest on penalties. Over 90 minutes, Spurs fail to convert their momentum into a decisive result, but Mathys Tel scores a standout free kick to give Tottenham the lead. Sydney FC responds to level the match, forcing the game into a penalty shootout. Sky Sports reports that Tottenham ultimately prevail from the spot, marking their third pre-season victory. Yahoo Sports also notes that the result represents a setback to Tottenham’s pre-season momentum after their prior performances. Tottenham, who narrowly avoided relegation at the end of last season, are set to play Chelsea next in Sydney on Saturday. The match outcome therefore combines an evenly matched 90 minutes with a decisive finish in the shootout.
