Chapter 137
During the intermission, the atmosphere in the locker room of the Chinese team was oppressive, and no one wanted to talk too much.

In order to enhance the momentum of the players, the head coach imitated Chairman Wei's tone and said:
"Everyone should cheer up! Although the opponent is stronger than us, we are not afraid! As long as you dare to fight hard, work hard
If you fight, you will definitely get the ideal result! Even if you lose, you must show your spirit and style! "

Gao Hongbo finished speaking with passion, but seeing that the team members were still dying, he shouted loudly:

"Come on, let's shout out, the Chinese team will win! The Chinese team will win."

After the halftime break, the players returned to the field, Jingxuan deliberately held Gao Lin and Deng Zhuoxiang, and whispered a few words:
"Brothers, in the second half, it's up to you to create set-piece opportunities in the frontcourt!"

Deng Zhuoxiang and Gao Lin nodded. They understood that the only hope for the Chinese team to come back was a direct free kick.

In the 49th minute of the game, Gao Lin got the ball on the Australian penalty area line. He couldn't turn around, so he had to protect the ball on the spot and wait for the Australian team to
Leah players come and kick him.

But how can Australian players be so easily fooled?Ognovsky behind him saw the position of the ball, stretched out his long legs and poked the ball out of the penalty area from Gao Lin's feet.

Fortunately, Yu Tao caught up and shot furiously at the ball, but only fired anti-aircraft guns.

In the 52nd minute of the game, Jingxuan steals Holman from the backcourt and shoots a lob from 50 meters away. Schwarzer stands in the front and can only jump up vigorously. He leans back and lifts the ball over the crossbar. The Chinese team wins a corner kick Chance.

Jingxuan took the corner kick to the middle, and Schwarzer jumped high to hit the ball, but he stepped on the instep of his teammate during the fall, sprained his ankle, and sat on the ground in pain.

The referee blew to stop the game. After the examination by the team doctor, Schwarzer could not continue the game, so the Australian team had to use a substitute goal

Jones was replaced by Schwarzer.

The game restarted. In the 57th minute, Gao Lin flopped at the front of the Australian penalty area and was warned by the referee with a yellow card.

In the 62nd minute of the game, Cahill's long-range shot from outside the penalty area hit the Chinese team's goal crossbar.

In the 65th minute of the game, in order to strengthen the defense, the Australian team replaced No. 7 Holman with No. 14 Emerton.

The Chinese team also used it to replace Deng Zhuoxiang, who was physically exhausted.

In the 70th minute of the game, Yu Hai took the ball from the right side of the front court and was pushed down by Jedinak. The Chinese team won a free kick from 30 minutes away.

This is the first time Jingxuan took a free kick at such a close distance in this game. He ran up, and then made a huge arc with his right foot. The ball flew into the goal against the right post. The Chinese team finally Got a goal back.

Then the Australian team began to strengthen the control of the rhythm of the game, and also strengthened the marking of Jingxuan.

In the 81st minute of the game, Cahill dribbled the ball on the left side of the Chinese team. Jingxuan stepped forward and pulled it. Cahill made an emergency stop. Jingxuan slipped and fell on Cahill’s ankle at the same time. , Cahill immediately howled and fell on the court in pain.

Jingxuan was not light, and the pressure on Cahill must have been uncomfortable. Then the team doctor entered the field and helped Cahill out of the field.

After a simple treatment, Cahill returned to the field, but after only 1 minute, he sat on the ground again, indicating that he could not continue to hold on.

Australia's head coach Huo Osik had no choice but to use the team's third substitution. Kilkenny played on the 22nd and replaced Cahill.

Then the Australian team played more conservatively, probably trying to hold on to a 2:1 lead.

In the 85th minute of the game, Emerton broke through Zhang Linpeng from the wing. His cross pass into the penalty area was attacked by Yang Zhi, who fell to the ground and scooped the ball away. Kewell, who followed up with a shot, made an empty shot. The Chinese team escaped again. Doomed.

In the 89th minute of the game, the Chinese team pressed across the board. Jingxuan dribbled the ball into the penalty area of ​​the Australian team, passing Jedinak, Valery and Ogonowski one after another. Another central defender Carney stretched out his foot and destroyed it.

Yu Hai got the ball on the line of the penalty area, but unfortunately kicked it with a kick. The ball happened to pass between Wilkie's legs and rolled towards Gao Lin, who was unmarked in the penalty area.

Gao Lin was less than 6 meters away from the goal at the moment, and was about to form a single goal. Australian goalkeeper Jones knocked down and threw the ball.

Fortunately, Gao Lin had long legs, and he waded the ball before the goalkeeper could pounce. Jones' hand touched Gao Lin's foot.

Gao Lin yelled, and then fell down in the penalty area. The referee pointed to the penalty spot without hesitation, and at the same time drew out a red card to send off Australian goalkeeper Jones.

This sudden turnaround made the whole stadium quiet for half a minute. The slow-motion playback showed: Although Gao Lin's fall was a bit exaggerated, Jones did touch Gao Lin's leg. Strictly speaking, it was fine to call a penalty, but the red card It seems to be a bit harsher for the Australian goalkeeper.

At this moment, the Australian team is fighting with 10 players, and the goalkeeper is sent off. The key is that there are no substitutions, so Ognowski is forced to temporarily play as the goalkeeper.

Jingxuan stands in front of the penalty spot. This is his first penalty kick in the current Asian Cup. It is hard to imagine that the Chinese team won the first penalty kick in this Asian Cup until now.

Facing the temporary goalkeeper in front of the goal, Jingxuan easily missed the opponent and scored the ball into the lower left corner of the goal. The score on the field became 2:2. The Chinese team equalized the score at the last moment. Of course, this score also exceeded everyone’s expectations. expected.

The pre-match odds were optimistic about the Chinese team's handicap, but more people were optimistic about the Australian team during the game, especially when the Chinese team was sent off in the first half.But I didn't expect the final result to be a draw!

After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, the Chinese team and the Australian team with only 10 players left on both sides entered the overtime game.

In overtime, the Chinese team replaced Rong Hao with Zhao Peng for the last substitution.

In the 95th minute of the game, Jing Xuan hit the crossbar with a long shot from outside the penalty area and bounced off.

Because the opponent's goalkeeper is a temporary cameo, Jingxuan intends to try his best to shoot from a long distance.

In the 97th minute of the game, the unexpected scene was staged again.

Yu Hai made a pass back to Wang Qiang and made a mistake. Kewell steals the ball and is about to enter the penalty area to form a single shot.

Jingxuan followed up with the sliding shovel and brought Kewell down on the penalty area line.

Since he was the last defensive player, the referee drew out a red card to Jingxuan without hesitation.

Asia's No. [-] star was sent off shortly after the start of overtime.

Although Jingxuan's end is a major loss for the Chinese team, his tackle is very critical.

The slow motion shows that the place of the foul is a little outside the penalty area line. If there is a foul one step later, the ball will be a penalty kick.

Then the Australian team hit a direct free kick on the penalty area line, and the Chinese team escaped.

After that, Jingxuan sat in the locker room, praying that the Chinese team could survive the penalty shootout.

The Australian team is now playing 10 out of 9, and the goalkeeper is a guest player. They definitely don’t want to be dragged to a penalty shootout by the Chinese team.
So they launched a tidal offensive to the Chinese team's goal.

Reluctantly, at this point in the game, the physical fitness of both sides is close to exhaustion, and some offensive cooperation is simply powerless to fight.

最后中国队通过8-0-0阵型，顽强的守住了2:2的比分，将澳大利亚队拖进了点球大战。
