Everton played a friendly vs. Ukrainian side Dynamo Kyiv at home on Friday in a “Match for Peace,” and the club decided to honor a fan during the game.
Paul Stratton, an Everton fan who has been aiding Ukrainian refugees amid Russia’s ongoing invasion into the country, checked in to the game to take a penalty kick. Stratton cooly slotted the spot kick home past an unmoving Dynamo Kyiv goalkeeper.
The goal didn’t count on the final scoresheet, but the Toffees still finished the friendly with a 3–0 win behind a brace by new signee Dwight McNeil.
