Tottenham Hotspur were held to a 2–2 draw by League One side Wycombe Wanderers in a behind‑closed‑doors preseason friendly at Hotspur Way. The fixture, added at short notice on Wednesday, aimed to provide players with valuable match minutes ahead of the upcoming season .
Despite opening the scoring inside 15 minutes through Pape Matar Sarr—who capitalized on a rebound after Wilson Odobert's effort was blocked by the goalkeeper—Spurs surrendered their lead. Armando Junior Quitirna’s deflected strike found the net, leveling the score just before halftime .
In the second half, Wycombe took a surprise lead when Daniel Udoh set up Quitirna for a powerful finish beyond goalkeeper Brandon Austin. Spurs, pushing for an equalizer, saw efforts from Pedro Porro and others frustrate their bid, and Cristian Romero avoided a red card after a reckless challenge .
Sarr restored parity late on to secure a draw for Tottenham, wrapping up his brace with a composed finish. Although the match ended all-square, it offered crucial playing time for fringe and returning players, while midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur was ruled out at the last minute due to illness .
