For all Leeds City players who are not good at defending, the last ten minutes of this game were simply a huge ordeal.
The fans in the visiting team's stands and in front of the TV were counting the seconds to watch the game and found that these ten minutes were extremely long.
Stan Park Rangers, without captain Bernard, burst out with huge energy in the final moments of the game and launched the most violent attack on Leeds City's goal.
How critical is the situation?
Even Hu Lai received a yellow card because he deliberately delayed the game.
In order to win the game, Leeds City players, including Hulay, have done whatever it takes.
In addition to Hu Lai, goalkeeper Fan Dewen also received a yellow card for deliberately delaying time.
At the same time, Tony Clark also used the last card in his hand just as the game entered stoppage time. He replaced Hu Lai, who had scored a hat trick.
Trying to waste some time with this substitution.
Hu Lai and the head coach were on the same page, so he deliberately dilly-dallyed when he came off the field, taking three steps and looking back - it was precisely because of this move that he was criticized for delaying the game and received a yellow card.
Although he has received a yellow card, it is nothing to Hu Lai. As a forward, he has very few chances to receive cards, and a yellow card will not cause him to be suspended cumulatively. On the contrary, a yellow card
As a price, it helps the team delay for half a minute or something, which is more valuable.
When he was shown a yellow card by the referee, he still pretended to go to the referee to argue, as if he felt that he was wronged.
But in fact it is just to delay time further.
How could the referee not know about his little trick? He directly warned Hu Lai that if he kept chattering in front of him and didn't get off the field quickly, a second yellow card would be waiting for him immediately.
After hearing this, Hu Lai turned around and walked off the court, but he was only walking, not running.
Despite the boos that filled Stan Park, he was enjoying himself...no, he moved off the court exhausted.
Off the court, Tony Clark hugged him hard, slapped his back hard, bit his back molars and said in his ear: "Well done, Hu! Well done!"
Hu Lai grinned: "Boss, the game is not over yet..."
"You're right!" Clark pushed Hu Lai away and stared at the court again.
Hu Lai, who was pushed away, did not return to the bench. Instead, he stood behind the head coach and also set his sights on the court.
He was not the only one to do this. In front of the bench next to him, all the Leeds City substitutes stood up from their seats, stood on the sidelines, and looked nervously at the court.
Everyone is waiting for the final judgment of fate.
Will it make history, or fall short?

Xie Lan was so nervous that her body was shaking slightly. She glanced at the game time and saw that it was already 94 minutes and 38 seconds into the game.
"Isn't the injury time four minutes? It's timed out!" she complained. "Black whistle! I finally know how this unbeaten home game came about!"
Hu Lixin quickly explained: "It's not that exaggerated. Maybe the referee wants to make up for the time Hu Lai wasted..."
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them saw Stan Park Rangers' cross being blocked by a Leeds City player. Just when Johnson Law was about to go to the ball boy for a football and was about to throw in a throw-in... a clear whistle sounded.
!
The football was still thrown into Law's hands, and he turned around and picked it up to throw it into the field.
The second whistle sounded next.
The football was thrown into the field by him, but no one caught it.
The third whistle!
The Leeds City players on the field cheered.
The Stan Park Rangers players fell to the ground helplessly.
"The game is over! The game is over! After an incredible goal battle, Leeds City defeated Stan Park Rangers 4:3 away from home! They won the victory against Stan Park Rangers and also ended the opponent's victory at Stan Park Stadium.
Ninety games undefeated in four years and eight months!”
"The longest unbeaten record at home in the history of English football is fixed at ninety games... But anyone who has watched this game will probably think that the record ends with such a wonderful game. I'm afraid
What a great way to celebrate this great record!”
"Both teams gave the best performance in the ninety minutes of this game, seven goals, almost all of them wonderful! If it weren't for Stan Park Rangers really losing, I really want to say
'There are no losers in this game'..."
Amid the excited chatter of the commentators, the players from both sides performed completely differently on the court:
The Leeds City players on the bench swarmed up, hugged their teammates on the field, and celebrated their victory crazily. It was as if they were not winning an ordinary league game, but a key knockout match.
The Stan Park Rangers players held their heads in their hands and sat down in pain. Some people put their hands on their hips and stood there in despair, looking at the Leeds City players who were celebrating crazily.
For the players of Stan Park Rangers, this game was more than just losing a game and losing three points. The unbeaten record at home was ended, and captain Bernard was injured and went off...
There are so many factors that make them miserable.
Stan Park Rangers head coach Brooks congratulated his team when shaking hands with Clark: "Congratulations, Mr. Clark. You really played better today."
Clark expressed his concern for Bernard to Brooks: "I hope Bernard will not have any major problems. His injury is regrettable..."
Brooks nodded without saying anything, turned around and walked to the court to comfort his players.
Clark also turned and walked to the court to celebrate the victory with his players.
His heart was filled with joy, but not just because he won this game.
It's because the team's performance in this game gave him full confidence in the future.
Since we can beat Stan Park Rangers away from home, it shows that we have the ability to compete with them.
In Clark's mind, goals for the team's future have already been formed.
He was a little unsure about this goal before, but now he wants to try it.

Jamie Fielding sat blankly in the stands.
As concierge caddies, they cannot be responsible for picking up balls on the sidelines and watching the game at close range like those working caddies. But they also have the privilege of watching the ball on the spot - the stadium has specially designated an area for them to facilitate them to watch the game on the spot.
.
In the past few years, every child who has been able to become a concierge caddy at Stan Park has happy memories of watching the game live.
Because Stan Park Rangers have never lost at this stadium.
They always win, and occasionally draw, so as Stan Park Rangers fans, the ball boys cheer as if they are enjoying a day off. Then they will return to their friends with the good memories of this game.
Go and tell them with great joy that he once again witnessed the undefeated "undefeated home court" at a close distance...
Before the game, Fielding and his companions were also looking forward to a hearty victory - they knew that Leeds City was good at attacking but not good at defending.
Stan Park Rangers defend well and attack well at their home stadium. If they encounter an opponent like Leeds City, why not have a goal feast?
It turned out that the goal feast was a goal feast - both teams scored a total of seven goals, which was indeed a goal feast.
But in the end, Stan Park Rangers became the main dish at the feast...
Fielding and his friends never expected that they would witness the longest home unbeaten streak in the history of English football come to an abrupt end.
No one wants to be a witness to history.
Around Fielding, some friends lost control of their emotions and burst into tears on the spot.
Just looking at the court in a daze like him is already a good performance.
Fielding turned his attention to Hulay, who was hugging and celebrating with his teammates on the pitch. This man who looked like a tourist before the game became a key figure in Leeds City's end of Stan Park Rangers' record.
Hat trick, hat trick...
He suddenly realized a problem - this seems to be the first visiting player to complete a hat-trick at Stan Park in nine years, right?
Fielding lowered his head and stared at his open right hand.
When players from both sides came on the field, this was the hand held by Hu Lai.
I shook hands with a man who made history...
So I shook hands with history...?

"In nine years, Hu is the first visiting player to complete a hat-trick at Stan Park, and he also ended Rangers' unbeaten streak at Stan Park with this hat-trick... No matter which achievement it is, it is enough.
Let his name go down in history!”
The close-up shots of the TV broadcast almost stuck to Hu Lai, following him all the time.
Hu Lai in the camera ran to the referee to get the ball for the game - this is the custom for players who have scored a hat trick, and they must keep the ball as a souvenir.
Hu Lai is naturally not exempt from vulgarity.
But this ball is indeed worth saving, because it is a hat-trick at Stan Park!
Matthew Cox saw this and continued:
"Stan Park will always remember this young Chinese man with a smile on his face. Those three goals were like three sharp knives piercing the hearts of Rangers. Even if the final championship this season is still Stan Park Rangers, the champion's physical body
It also left three shocking scars permanently!"
In the picture, Hu Lai, who got the football, hid the ball in his arms, protected it with his body and ran down the field, as if he was afraid of being snatched away midway.
Seeing him looking like a thief, Cox couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
