With mixed emotions, Antonio ran towards Li Chuanqi who was lying on the turf.
Li Chuanqi was no longer rolling on the turf now. With the help of his teammates, he stood up slowly and carefully moved his left ankle.
Well, although it hurt a little, the problem was not serious. The opponent shoveled the instep of his foot, and the injured part was not his ankle.
"Is it okay?"
Antonio wants to make sure he can continue playing.
Li Chuanqi nodded, indicating that he could persist.
Antonio breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart dropped. Before returning to the command area, he encouraged the team members: "There are only ten minutes left!"
The Santa Malaga players nodded to show they understood what he meant.
When the game restarted, Santa Malaga did not directly throw the football into the opponent's penalty area to initiate an attack, but patiently dropped the ball to look for opportunities.
Alcorcón, who was fighting with one less player, recovered from the coach's roar and launched a fierce press.
In the 35th minute of the second half, Pablo launched an attack with a long overhead pass, and the football went straight to the opponent's penalty area!
Alcorcon's center back leaped high and beat Liag to push the football back.
The next scene made Santa Malaga feel the crisis - Alcorcón striker Sandaza grabbed the football at his feet and immediately gave it to his teammate Ernesto Go who was rushing forward at high speed on the right.
Quick defensive counterattack!
This is an offensive routine that Alcorcon is very familiar with.
After Ernesto Go took the ball, he dribbled the ball in the open wing at high speed, and the stands burst into cheers!
The Santa Malaga bench was in agony, and Miguel shouted loudly: "Guard it! You must guard it!"
On the court, captain Pablo ran desperately to defend Ernesto Go who was dribbling the ball. When the opponent was about to reach the penalty area, Pablo caught up and blocked Ernesto Go's sudden advance.
Lines in restricted areas.
Ernesto Go did not force a breakthrough, but made a cross pass and transferred the football to Sandaza who was connecting in the middle.
After passing the ball, Ernesto Go immediately moved forward, preparing to play a cross pass with his teammate and go straight for a one-two.
Sandaza did not disappoint him, he directly passed the ball diagonally and the football went straight to the Santa Malaga penalty area!
Pablo realized the danger when Ernesto Go advanced and immediately turned around to defend.
After he turned around, their shoulders collided, and Ernesto Go let out a scream and fell into the Santa Malaga penalty area!
"Beep!..."
The referee blew his whistle and ran towards the center of the incident.
The hearts of everyone in Santa Malaga were cold...
"Red card! Red card! Red card!..."
The home fans in the stands began to put pressure on the referee.
Pablo innocently spread his arms. Damn it, this was a reasonable collision. The opponent was just diving!
The Santa Malaga players reacted and appealed to the referee, but the referee insisted on the penalty and gave Pablo a yellow card!
Seeing that the referee showed a yellow card, Santa Maraga breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not a red card...
"Shh!..."
The home fans booed and expressed their dissatisfaction with the referee's decision.
However, they immediately cheered because the referee awarded a penalty kick!
"Penalty kick?! No! Referee, even if I committed a foul, the location of the foul was outside the penalty area. He fell into the penalty area from behind!"
Pablo argued painfully, but the referee remained unmoved and insisted on his decision.
"Two penalties!"
Antonio was very dissatisfied with the referee: "Two penalty kicks in one game, is this normal?"
The boss Juan, who was sitting next to him, covered his eyes with trembling hands.
Sandaza once again stood in front of the penalty spot. In the first half, he equalized the score with his penalty kick. This time he will use the penalty kick to help his team take the lead.
He is well aware of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. Now that the team has one less player to fight, this penalty kick is extremely precious.
He kissed the football gently and slowly placed it on the penalty spot.
Taking a few steps back, Sandaza was ready to take the penalty kick.
St. Malaga's heart felt like a huge stone was pressing down on him. Miguel slapped his face hard to get excited.
Li Chuanqi, who was standing outside the penalty area, closed his eyes slightly and said, damn it, show up quickly!
I don’t blame you for the penalty kick not happening last time, it must come out this time!
The strong premonition finally appeared!
Li Chuanqi felt that Sandaza would take the penalty to the right side of the goal.
Seeing that the referee was about to blow the whistle, Li Chuanqi opened his eyes and unexpectedly ran into the penalty area!
The referee's whistle did not sound, and he looked at Li Chuanqi in surprise.
What kind of operation is this?!
The Alcorcon players reacted and shouted at the referee, indicating that Li Chuanqi should be given a card to warn him.
"Your left side, his penalty kick this time is your left side! You must believe me!"
Li Chuanqi said something in the ear of Miguel who looked confused.
Miguel opened his mouth slightly, and then the referee shouted to Li Chuanqi to leave the penalty area immediately.
"Referee! This must be played, he is deliberately disrupting!"
The referee first gave Sandaza a hard look, and then gave Li Chuanqi a yellow card.
"Hey! You must believe me!"
Li Chuanqi did not argue, but walked towards the outside of the penalty area and shouted at MiG.
Miguel decided to believe him for once and made an "ok" gesture towards him, lowering his center of gravity slightly and staring closely at Sandaza behind the football.
Sandaza frowned slightly, what does this mean?
"Beep!..."
When the referee blew his whistle, Sandaza suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, exhaled heavily, and ran towards the football.
Li Chuanqi's face turned pale nervously. He didn't know if his premonition this time was correct. If not...
"Snapped!……"
Sandaza kicked the football with the inside of his right foot, and the football flew towards the right side of the goal!
Sure enough, it’s the left side!
Miguel was so ecstatic that he jumped up and flew towards the football!
Li, he guessed it right!
At this moment, Li Chuanqi's face turned from pale to red. She had a feeling that she had not lied to him!
The tension in Santa Malaga is extremely high. Is a miracle about to happen?
Although Miguel judged the direction well, could he save the penalty kick?
In the flash of lightning, MiG's hands tightly grasped the flying football!
"No!……"
Shouts of pain rang out from all over the pitch, and everyone in Alcorcón was extremely disappointed that Sandaza failed to seize this precious opportunity.
"Mig!..."
There was great joy in Santa Malaga.
Liag was the first to wake up. He pushed the captain Pablo who was cheering next to him: "Let MiG go faster!"
Then he ran towards the frontcourt.
What a great opportunity for a quick counterattack. When the opponent loses their mind, catch them off guard!
