In the 54th minute, Olmo first burst into the front of the box to see no one defending and shoot directly, and a world wave directly opened the opponent's door, worthy of the Spanish national team's "left-footed Fabian Ruiz, right-footed Olmo" known as the man. Three minutes later Olmo received a pass from Nkunku in front of the defender and sent a precise cross directly to Find Angelinho, who easily pushed the goal and the score became 3-0. Olmo completed a perfect performance of 1 goal and 1 assist.
