Perfect Center

Chapter 76 opens with a lightning strike!
In the command area, Demblauskas and Lucescu looked at each other from a distance.

"We have to play this game steadily. Even if it's a draw, we can still have a chance to take the third place in the group." Dambruaskas looked at the green field.

Beep!
Accompanied by the referee's whistle!
The fourth round of the Champions League Group A officially begins!

Ball possession by Zalgiris.

Quickly pass the ball and advance into Shakhtar Donetsk's half!
The football moves forward very fast!

Xia Han received the pass from Enyuyazi and dribbled past Stepanenko's defense.

He dribbled the ball forward, facing the explosive defense of Azevedo, faked a shot and dunked, and after shaking off the position, he pushed forward madly towards the baseline!

Azevedo took a step and quickly chased back to defend.

Rakitsky's eyes are determined. This time he will become a solid barrier in front of the goal!
Xia Han looked up and observed for a moment, then sent a cross!

The football took off from the ground and flew into the penalty area of ​​​​Shakhtar Donetsk!
N'Yu Yaqi made a forward advance into the penalty area, kicked the grass with both feet, and jumped high!

However, before he touched the ball, another one headed it away.

Kuchel was prepared. He jumped high and swung the ball hard to the right.

Srna stopped the ball steadily, looked at the open space in front of him, pushed the ball hard, and accelerated!
"Xia Han! Through the crotch, passing the ball! Beautiful breakthrough! Beautiful fake shot and real dunk! Beautiful cross!"

"Kuchel stood up and headed the ball hard!"

"Srna received the first touch of the ball and Shakhtar Donetsk launched their counterattack!"

Srna moved to the center circle and looked at Kuklis who was pressing forward.

A simple feint to divert his center of gravity, and a fried meatball passed Kuklis.

"Srna shook off Kuklis's attempt to steal the ball!"

"Don't worry, he is observing the defense line of Zalgris!"

"It's spread!"

Srna felt refreshed at the moment and looked to the right of Zalgris.

Bang!
Football is flying high!

"What a great long pass! A long pass diagonally!"

"Srna! A very strong right back from Croatia! Possessing strong forward ability!"

The football drew a beautiful arc in the air!

Kerla tried to clear the ball with his head, but he misjudged the landing point of the ball and missed it.

The ball came to Marlos' feet, and the Brazilian winger quickly passed Kerla who had just landed.

Sveryuga took up the position and tried to intercept Malos's further actions.

Snap!
Malos swept the ball across the goal with great force!
Penetrate Sveryuga's outstretched leg!
"Kerla! Oops, the top is coming out!"

"Malos stops and dribbles! Then he sweeps across the baseline!"

"The ball was very fast! It went straight through Sviryuga's defense!"

Gladki resisted Kendish's interference and kicked the football!

"Hey! It missed! Gladki's kick missed!"

"Back! And! Bernard!"

Facing the football that is sweeping towards you at a very fast speed.

Bernard shot before Vitkunas!
boom! ! !
Football is under everyone's gaze.

Fly high into the fans' stands!

Klevenskas stood there in a daze, unable to react. When he turned around, he saw the football flying into the sky.

All Shakhtar Donetsk fans felt sorry for this ball.

Commentator Zhang Wei looked at the anti-aircraft gun. "It's a very threatening shot!"

"Malos's cross was very powerful, but unfortunately, Bernard's shot was too strong and he didn't control the power well!"

Klevenskas took the goal kick.

The football flew towards the center circle.

The kick was very crooked, and even Xia Han couldn't catch the ball immediately.

Fred jumped up easily and headed the ball to Stepanenko on the other side without any interference.

Xia Han rushed towards Stepanenko who had the ball.

Stepanenko passed the ball back to Fred, who passed it to Azevedo who was on the wing.

Azevedo took a few steps forward, kicked the ball, and passed it to Teixeira's feet.

Gao Qiao followed suit.

Teixeira gently pushed the ball forward, then stopped suddenly and accelerated in the other direction!
"Oh, the quality of this goal kick is average! Fred headed the ball, Stepanenko knocked it across and passed it to Azevedo!"

"Teixeira holds the ball! A free-flowing breakthrough!"

Shakhtar Donetsk's formation pressed forward frantically, Srna and Azevedo joined in!

After Teixeira broke through Gaucho, he decisively passed the ball in the face of Ruksha's pressure.

clap clap clap! ! !
The football made a crisp sound and was passed back and forth between the feet of Shakhtar Donetsk players and reached the attacking third zone.

Marlos once again showed the Brazilian's delicate footwork.

His delicate footwork dazzled the clumsy Kerla and sent a cross.

The football drew a beautiful arc in the air!

With the gazes of all the fans in the stadium, Gladki appeared where the football was going to land!
He jumped high before Kendish and was the first to head the football!
The football flew straight to the far corner of the goal!

Klevenskas jumped up and failed to touch the football!

The football flew over his gloves and fell into the goal!
1-0! ! !

Shakhtar Donetsk got off to a dream start within three minutes of the start.

"It's in! The ball is in! A goal from Gladki! An assist from Malos!"

"I never expected this! In the 88th second of the game, Shakhtar Donetsk made a lightning surprise attack!"

"Gladky successfully headed the ball, which was of high quality and flew to the far corner. Although Zalgiris' substitute goalkeeper Klevenskas made a save, it was still out of reach!"

"Shakhtar Donetsk leads 1-0!"

In the live broadcast room.

The entire Donbass Arena erupted in huge cheers!

Shakhtar Donetsk 2-0 Zalgiris!!!
Before some spectators could react to the first goal, Shakhtar Donetsk scored the second goal.

The goal came from a mismatch in coordination between Pilibaitis and Lukesha, and Teixeira took advantage of the opportunity to grab the ball.

Ruksha chased back and dragged Teixeira to the ground.

The referee blew the whistle and showed Lukesha the first yellow card of the game.

Lukesha held his head and complained to the referee that this level of collision was completely reasonable and he should not be given a yellow card.

The referee extended his hand to signal Ruksha not to question his decision.

Shakhtar Donetsk got a free kick opportunity in a good position.
