After the game restarted, the Spanish team quickly stole the football and launched a fierce attack on Australia amid the deafening cheers of the fans.
In the 24th minute of the second half, Iniesta made a through ball. Alba assisted with an inverted triangle pass from the wing. Kekai followed up and pushed the ball wide of the goal!
Three minutes later, the Spanish team got a corner kick opportunity. Iniesta directly sent the football into the Australian penalty area. Ramos rushed to header the goal, and the football was slightly higher than the goal!
In the 35th minute of the second half, Australia got an offensive opportunity and launched an attack from the left. Winger Orr made a pass and forward Taggart headed the goal!
Reina held the football firmly, and then launched a quick counterattack with a big foot.
Reina's quick counterattack failed this time. Australian center back Spiranovic pushed the ball back into the center circle, and the two sides started a fierce scramble near the center circle.
After several exchanges of ball rights, Spain finally took control of the football and Li Chuanqi quickly moved forward.
After Iniesta got the ball, he started to cut inside, Costa moved to the right, and Li Chuanqi started to push forward!
"Pa!..."
After Iniesta dodged a defender, he suddenly made a diagonal pass!
The football passed through the gap between the two central defenders and flew towards the left side of the penalty area!
nice shot!
Li Chuanqi, who had already started to move forward, suddenly accelerated and was about to get rid of the defender beside him in an instant.
Australian right back McGowan dropped his center of gravity in a hurry and tried to tackle and destroy the ball.
But because Li Chuanqi was too fast, McGowan shoveled Li Chuanqi's right foot.
McGowan's face was full of despair. Damn it, why is he so fast? There is no justice...
"ah!……"
Li Chuanqi screamed and fell in the Australian penalty area!
"drop!……"
The referee blew his whistle and pointed with his left hand to the penalty spot!
"Penalty kick!"
The Spanish national television commentator loudly said: "Lee won a penalty kick worth thousands of dollars for Spain!"
Commentator Raul loudly said: "As long as this penalty kick is scored, Spain can catch up with the Netherlands and Spain in terms of goal difference, and surpass Chile with the advantage of goals scored to rank second in the group!"
The Australian commentator said regretfully: "Lee's speed was too fast. McGovern wanted to tackle, but he tackled on his right foot..."
The Sky Sports commentator said: "Li helped Spain win the penalty kick, and Spain saw the hope of advancing! There were a total of nine penalty kicks in this World Cup, all of which were scored. Can Spain score this penalty kick?"
We have to lament that the role of superstars in such a crucial game is too great..."
The commentator on German national television said: "Then the question is, who will take the penalty kick? Is it Li himself or other players?"
Penalty kick?!
The Spanish fans roared excitedly, the opportunity has come!
The Australian fans are extremely frustrated. Damn McGowan, did you give Spain a penalty on purpose?
Costa pulled Li Chuanqi up from the turf and asked him if there was any problem. Li Chuanqi moved a few times and told him there was no problem.
Only then did Costa feel relieved.
Iniesta, Ramos, Alonso and others gathered around. After learning that Li Chuanqi was fine, they were obviously relieved.
The Spanish team does not have a fixed penalty kicker. According to Del Bosque, whoever is in good condition will take the penalty. It is up to the players themselves to decide on the field.
Then several people began to discuss who would take the penalty kick.
Ramos expressed his opinion: "Let Li take the penalty. This penalty was created by him."
Costa nodded and said: "It should be given to him!"
Iniesta looked at Li Chuanqi, "Okay?"
May I?
Li Chuanqi knew that Iniesta was not here to grab the penalty kick, but for his own sake.
The injury to his left foot has not healed yet. If the penalty kick is not scored...
Li Chuanqi thought for a moment and said, "Okay!"
He has to put the responsibility on his shoulders.
Iniesta patted him on the shoulder and said: "Okay! No matter... we will support you!"
Li Chuanqi said to him: "There is no accident, there can be no accident!"
With a super premonition, how could there be an accident?
Li Chuanqi came to the penalty spot holding the football.
The commentator on German national TV said loudly: "Li is going to take this penalty kick himself! How much he wants to score..."
The Spanish national TV commentator frowned and said: "If it were any other time, there would be no problem for Li to take this penalty kick, but we know that his left foot injury has not healed yet..."
Guest commentator Raul said: "Li is putting the responsibility on his shoulders. This behavior is worthy of praise!"
The Sky Sports commentator said: "Li will personally end the suspense of promotion!"
In the stands, Li Chuanqi's family became nervous. They knew that Li Chuanqi's injury had not yet healed.
My mother said worriedly: "Huzi shouldn't bear this responsibility by himself!"
Dad said: "What you said is very good. In the eyes of others, this is honor, but this is responsibility. But when will we, the Li family, leave our responsibilities to others!"
The elder brother said worriedly: "This is the principle, but if there is no penalty, the pressure on Hu Zi will be great."
If the penalty kick is missed and Spain is eliminated, then the responsibility will be on Li Chuanqi.
At that time, all the Spanish media and fans would criticize and abuse him.
Thinking of this terrible consequence, the whole family frowned, and my sister even covered her eyes nervously.
Blanca Padilla was not blindfolded, but her clasped hands began to tremble.
The assistant coach came to Bosque and whispered: "Would you like..."
Bosque shook his head and said: "Since the rules are set, they must be implemented. If Li is willing to shoulder the responsibility, let him carry it. If he passes this level, it will be of great benefit to him!"
In the Australian penalty area, after Li Chuanqi put down the football, he took a few steps back and closed his eyes slightly.
He is waiting for the super premonition to appear.
However……
The super premonition did not appear!
Li Chuanqi opened his eyes. Others didn't have a super premonition that they could score a penalty kick. Could it be that I couldn't?
"drop!……"
The referee blew the whistle and Li Chuanqi slowly ran towards the football!
The stadium fell silent instantly, and everyone looked nervously at Australia's penalty area.
"Pa!..."
The inside of Li Chuanqi's left foot hit the middle and upper part of the football, and the football flew against the turf towards the small left corner of the goal!
The moment Li Chuanqi touched the football, Australian goalkeeper Ryan flew towards the left side of the goal!
When he saw the trajectory of the football, his eyes lit up, he bet was right!
"ah!……"
Some Spanish fans screamed nervously, No! God! No!...
The Australian fans stood up in surprise...
In an instant, Ryan's fingertips touched the football!
The football was like a hammer, breaking through Ryan's block and flying into the net against the post!
"drop!……"
The referee blew the whistle that the goal was valid!
