The dream of the Marine, a modest team of the Eighth Division of English football, in the FA Cup, in which they achieved the feat of reaching the thirty-second finals, ended this Sunday but in a big way: receiving Tottenham from José Mourinho, who he qualified for the sixteenth thanks to a 0-5. The protagonist was Carlos Vinicius, author of a ‘hat trick’. Lucas Moura and the young debutant Alfie Devine, aged 16 and with a stellar premiere, also scored.

The Marine, a team from Crosby, Merseyside, 14 kilometers from Liverpool, resisted at the start of the game and even Neil Kengni crashed a ball on the crossbar in the 19th minute with which they could have put his team ahead on the scoreboard against those of Mourinho, who was beginning to despair in the band.
But Vinicius appeared to solve the ballot for Mourinho and his Spurs. In the 24th minute, after a ball from Dele Alli (a starter in this FA Cup match and that shone), who made a wall with Gelson Fernandes, Vinicius took advantage of a rebound to beat Bayleigh Passant, Marine's goalkeeper.
At 30 ', again a play by Dele Alli and Matt Doherty assisted Vinicius, who achieved the second of the afternoon for Tottenham. The 0-3 was marked by Lucas Moura on a free-kick in the 32nd minute. Vinicius completed his ‘hat trick’ in 37 ’by taking advantage of a rebound.
Alfie Devine, 16, made his Tottenham debut scoring a goal
And in the 60 ', Devine rounded off the Spurs' little hand' after a heel pass from Lucas Moura. Tottenham, who will play in the League Cup final against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, also continue ahead in the FA Cup after being the Marine's luxury guest, this Eighth that has made history by being the lowest-ranking team in being measured to a set of the Premier.
