Perfect Center

Chapter 184 An own goal victory!

"Mkhitaryan made a diagonal pass! Aubameyang followed up with a powerful shot!"

"Casillas makes another great save!"

"After an own goal in the first half, Casillas did not get depressed, but cheered up!"

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of fans at the Dragon Stadium.

Casillas seemed to be assisted by God. He flew like a bird into the sky and saved Aubameyang's powerful shot from going out of the baseline!

Aubameyang looked incredulous.

He felt it the moment he touched the ball, after all, the ball had great speed and power. He didn't expect Casillas to be so brave after the own goal!
Casillas got up from the ground and shouted excitedly to boost the morale of Porto players!

In the following scenes, both sides launched continuous attacks, and the numerous threats tugged at the fans’ hearts, causing them to cheer and shout non-stop!

Seventy minutes into the game.

Porto's continued frantic pressing achieved certain results.

The frantic pressing led to their own lack of physical strength, but at the same time, Dortmund also began to make frequent passing errors due to physical problems and the slippery grass on rainy days.

"Bender's pass was a mistake!"

"The grass was too slippery after the rain, and his pass was directly intercepted by Varela!"

"Wow! Varela is in great shape today! He just rushed over!"

"Dortmund's midfielder didn't have time to intercept!"

"And Hummels! Hummels' defensive position is very reasonable. He slowly retreats and reduces Varela's shooting space!"

Hummels retreated and raised his hand to signal Burki not to panic.

Inside the Dragon Stadium, the breathing of Porto fans gradually slowed down, as if it would affect Varela on the field.

Under Hummels' solid defensive performance, Varela's dribbling movements suddenly became distorted.

Hummels looked at Varela's movements without any panic. When Varela moved forward again, Hummels kicked!
Snapped!
He just touched the football slightly, then Varela picked it up and headed towards the goal!

"Varela is a very skilled and brave man! He deliberately exposed his flaws and waited for Hummels to take the bait!"

"It's a little late to steal the ball! Varela passed Hummels and only Burki was left!"

"He dribbled the ball towards Porto's penalty area!"

Burki had no other choice.

He could only go out and try to stop Varela's one-on-one attack.

"Varela!"

"A determined look burst out!"

"Bürki attacks! Varela dunks... eh?"

“This buckle is a bit big!”

"Just give the ball to Burki!"

Amid the speechless gazes of all the spectators, Burki had already pounced on the football and successfully resolved this great opportunity of Varela.

At the Dragon Stadium, the expressions on the faces of the Porto fans in the stands around the stadium changed from nervousness to ecstasy, and finally to sadness and disappointment.

Varela stood still, looking at the football held in the arms of Burki who was rushing out, with a look of pain on his face.

Environmental factors allowed him to break through here, and also because of environmental factors, the football was caught by Burki.

There was a sigh from the whole audience.

It's really rare to miss a one-on-one chance like this.

During the dead ball phase, Peseiro, who was so angry that he was about to hit his head, immediately used the remaining substitutions.

"Varela, who missed a one-on-one opportunity, was replaced. His physical strength could not support him to continue the rapid attack!" "Brahimi replaced Varela. This is a positional substitution!"

"Hector Herrera replaces Evandro!"

"Tuchel also made substitutions at the same time!"

"A substitution! Pulisic replaces Reus!"

"With less than 30 minutes left, can Porto create a miracle?"

In the live broadcast room.
-
[Back then, Porto also won the Champions League! Under the leadership of Magic Bird! It also created a miracle! ]
-
[Dortmund's youth storm is sweeping across Europe again! ]
-
【Things in this world are unpredictable! 】

Although there was little time left, Porto players did not give up and seized every opportunity to attack.

Under the high pressure, their own defense line was shattered, and they could only rely on Casillas' heroic performance to ensure that the goal was not lost!

Eighty minutes into the game.

Shinji Kagawa almost broke through Porto's goal with an unexpected lob shot in the 40-meter area!
Unfortunately, due to the rain, the football hit the crossbar and was steadily caught by Casillas.

Six minutes later, Porto had a counterattack opportunity.

The cooperation between Brahimi and Herrera who came on as substitutes.

Herrera's big foot sent the ball to Dortmund's half. Ginter jumped slightly and headed the ball right in front of Brahimi.

"Ginter's header! An own goal assist!"

"Brahimi cuts inside and shoots directly!"

The unexpected and swift inside shot left Burki unable to react. He stood there in a daze with his hands hanging down, and could only watch the football hit the crossbar and fly out of the bottom line!
Brahimi waved his fist in frustration, feeling very angry. Today, all the Porto players had pretty good shooting accuracy, and several shots hit the crossbar steadily!
At the last moment of regular time, the fourth official held up the injury time sign on the sidelines of the center circle: four minutes!

Mkhitaryan created space near the diagonal of the penalty area and kicked a cross!

The football took off from the ground and drew a precise arc in the air!

After Pulisic and Aubameyang switched positions, he got one step ahead of Maxi Pereira, jumped high and headed the ball!
The football penetrated Casillas' swinging arms and was headed into the goal by Pulisic!
Before the Dortmund fans had time to celebrate, as soon as the cheers burst out of their mouths, they saw the flag held high by the linesman at the side of the field.

"Offside!"

"What a pity Pulisic scored this goal!"

Pulisic looked at the football in the net and shook his head helplessly.

The last minute of injury time.

In Porto's last attack, the players in the midfield and frontcourt rushed forward with all their might.

Brahimi advanced at high speed along the left side, launching a rapid and fast-paced attack towards the defense zone held by Ginter.

A bang! Pass the ball!
Weigl made an emergency move in the middle, but the ball was still passed diagonally by Brahimi to Marega's feet.

Marega touched the ball and sent it directly into Dortmund's penalty area!

"The result of the game has been decided!"

"Porto's last attack! They didn't give up because of the failure!"

"An extremely fierce and rapid attack!"

"Shi Xianjun!"

The South Korean striker appeared on the edge of the small penalty area, facing the rolling ball.

He suddenly had an idea and used a heel shot!
Burki looked at Shi Xianjun's movements with sharp eyes and saw through the Korean striker's intention!
Quickly move sideways to the ground and hold the ball!
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Burki successfully held the ball, declaring Porto's final attack to be in vain.

The referee immediately blew the whistle to end the game!
Porto 0-1 Dortmund!!!

Both sides had constant chances, Casillas made an embarrassing own goal, and Porto lost to Dortmund again at home.
