The green devil

Reyes' shooting technique is very good, and this kick is accurately shot to the upper left corner of the goal.

Utrecht goalkeeper Pace was ready to react quickly, he dived and saved the ball over the baseline with one hand.

Shoot well, throw even better!

Fans from both sides cheered from the stands.

The Spaniard coach Sergio on the sidelines shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything.

Sergio hopes that Reyes can pass the ball to Zhao Yang.

This season, the Espanyol team has fully established Zhao Yang's core position, and these players were bought to assist Zhao Yang.

But Reyes' shot was indeed of high quality, and Sergio had nothing to say.

Reyes takes the corner.

Low ball!

The arc is not big, the ball speed is very fast.

Neither the Utrecht players nor the Spaniard players from the previous point came across.

Zhao Yang grabbed a point in the middle.

There are many people in this position, and it is difficult to get a spot if you are not in good health. Even if you get it, it is difficult to exert your strength.

Zhao Yang's body is pretty good, he squeezed away the defenders, leaped high, and faced the fast-flying ball.

However, an unknown defensive player bumped into Zhao Yang from below. Zhao Yang's body fell and he missed the fast flying ball.

Perez grabbed the ball at the back point, but his small angle shot was once again saved by the goalkeeper.

Utrecht goalkeeper Pace wanted to counterattack with a quick long pass, but Perez was experienced and quickly blocked the goalkeeper Pace to prevent him from quickly serving and counterattacking.

By the time Pace finds a chance to pass a long pass, the Spaniard's offensive players have almost returned to defense for halftime.

Pace didn't insist on counterattack anymore, but just threw the ball to the defender.

The best opportunity has been missed, and the Utrecht players can only move forward slowly, fighting against the Spaniard.

Utrecht pressed too hard, and most of the Spaniard's players returned to their own half.

There are too many people at the front of the penalty area, and Utrecht is not the kind of team with particularly delicate skills. They cannot cooperate at the front of the penalty area and can only attack the Spaniard's goal with wide crosses and long shots.

Utrecht's best chance of the first half came with a clever move from the front of the box.

The Utrecht wide player did not cross into the penalty area, but hit the ball towards the front of the penalty area.

Today Utrecht played a 352 formation with two strikers at the front of the penalty area.

The front striker Dalmaou gave the ball away, and the other striker, Mahi, used the inside of his foot to launch a very beautiful arc ball straight to the lower right corner of the goal.

The Spaniard's goalkeeper was afraid that Renault would react quickly, so he flew to the ground and rushed towards the ball.

The flight path of the ball was tricky, fearing that Reynolds would not be able to touch the ball.

The Utrecht fans were almost on their feet, ready to celebrate the goal.

Bang!

The ball bounced off the post.

"Ugh!"

There was a huge sigh from the fans in the stands.

Such a great opportunity!

Bad luck.

Utrecht had the upper hand in the first half, but failed to score.

In the first warm-up match of the Espanyol team, the players were generally not in shape, and four newcomers were added, and the cooperation was not tacit. Except for a few long-range shots, there were almost no chances to score in the first half.

During the intermission, the Espanyol team did not make personnel adjustments, but tactically, Sergio asked the players to pass the ball more and not to shoot casually without a good chance.

After the start of the second half, the Spaniard's condition was obviously much better than that of the first half. The midfield gradually became more active, and the frontcourt also had some cooperation.

Utrecht ran a little more in the first half, but slowed down a little in the second half.

The two sides played each other offensively and defensively in the second half, and they were evenly matched.

In the first half, the Spaniard was suppressed, and there were many people defending at the front of the penalty area. Utrecht had the upper hand on the surface, but in fact there were not many opportunities.

The Spaniard came out in the second half, and Utrecht's weakness of insufficient technique was covered up, and the advantages of tacit cooperation were revealed.

In the 50th minute of the game, Utrecht got a good chance.

After continuous cooperation from the wing, Utrecht's full-back van der Maaer crossed the ball to find his striker.

At this time, the full-back Gustafsson on the other side of Utrecht had already inserted into the penalty area.

Utrecht striker Mahi didn't take a shot, the ball stopped and blocked, and the ball went to Gustafsson's feet.

If it is a striker, there is a high probability that he will shoot directly, but Gustafsson is a little sticky. He takes a step before shooting, and the adjustment is more comfortable, but the ball is thrown by the Spaniard defender Alvarez who quickly returns blocked out.

The Spaniards have not always been so lucky.

In the 60th minute of the game, the Espanyol's frontcourt cooperation was intercepted by the opponent's defender Van der Maar.

Van der Maar decisively passed the ball to his winger Maher and launched a counterattack.

Utrecht had only three counter-attacking players in the frontcourt, but they cooperated very well. The continuous passing and cutting cooperation completely tore apart the Spaniard's three-man defense.

When the ball was finally passed to striker Mahi, only the goalkeeper was left in front of Mahi.

Afraid that Renault had already attacked and blocked the opponent's shooting angle.

Ma Xi shot cleanly, facing Aaron Leno and directly poked the shot, and the ball flew into the net from Aaron Leno's feet.

1:0

Utrecht took the lead.

After leading the score, Utrecht slowed down the offensive, put on a substitute, and began to drill the defensive formation.

At this time, the Spaniard gained a larger offensive space, and the frontcourt gradually cooperated.

In the 68th minute of the score, Zhao Yang, who has always been under the care of Utrecht, shot a cold arrow at 30 meters. The ball hit the post and popped out, almost piercing through the gate of Utrecht.

Zhao Yang's shot startled the Utrecht players, and they realized that even at this distance, they couldn't relax a little bit towards Zhao Yang.

Utrecht expanded its defense against Zhao Yang, thinking that it could better limit the popular fried chicken, but the expansion of defense gave other players more room to cooperate.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Reyes turned around in the middle to get rid of a defensive player, and then gave the ball to Jurado who was plugging in.

Zhao Yang quickly advanced and attracted a defensive player.

Baptistan immediately pulled aside and took away another defensive player.

Utrecht was empty in the middle, and Jurado easily dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area and shot angrily.

The defender came over to block a step slower, and the ball went straight to the left of the net.

The Utrecht goalkeeper flies the ball across the wing.

The ball just rolled into the control range of Baptistan on the wing. Baptistan got rid of the defender, grabbed the ball, and crossed it to the penalty area.

The Espanyol only had Zhao Yang in the penalty area, so Baptistan's ball was of course for Zhao Yang.

Seeing that Baptistan grabbed the ball, Zhao Yang immediately accelerated to get rid of the defender, ready to receive Baptistan's pass.

When the ball arrived, Zhao Yang jumped lightly, a lion shook his head, and headed in the opposite direction of the Utrecht goalkeeper.

Utrecht goalkeeper Pace couldn't react in time, and the ball flew into the goal against the post.

1:1

Zhao Yang equalized the score for the Espanyol.

After Zhao Yang scored a goal, both the Espanyol and Utrecht began to change players, inspect new players, and adjust the lineup.

In the remaining ten minutes, neither side scored any more goals. In the end, the two sides shook hands 1:1 to make a draw.
