The ones of Nathan Jones will cross in the 'semis' in front of the Newcastle, whereas the 'citizens' left several important doubts of face to this second half of the season.

The 'saints' went out to the terrain of game without any type of fear, with advanced important to the goal of Stefan Ortega and with a defensive block solid that did that a champion of the world like Julián Álvarez happened unobserved.
