Perfect Center

Chapter 79 A decisive blow!

boom! !

The football flew straight towards Zalgiris' goal like a bullet!
Rushing through the defense line towards the upper right corner!

Klevenskas had no time to adjust his position and jump, so he could only leap forward with difficulty.

boom!
There was another crisp sound, and Klevenskas looked up and saw Sveryuga. He used his thigh to block Bernard's shot out of the baseline!
Sviryuga gave Klevenskas a thumbs up, then felt a slight pain in his thigh and walked to the doorpost to hold it.

"Teixeira sets up his gun! Bernard shoots!"

"The captain of the field, Sviryuga, stepped forward and blocked Malos' powerful shot with his own body!"

"He is holding the goalpost. Zalgiris still has one substitution spot. Will they make a substitution?"

After a moment, Sveryuga held his thigh and signaled to his teammates and the referee to make a substitution.

"Dambrauskas made the last substitution, Fred Gimas replaced the disabled Sverjuga!"

Sveryuga was limping all over. He walked to the top of the arc and looked at Xia Han who had returned to defend. He took off the captain's armband from himself and handed it to Xia Han.

"Xia! It's up to you!" Sveryuga forced a smile on his face, handed the armband to Xia Han, and went to the bench with the help of the team doctor.

Xia Han looked at the captain's armband on his left arm, his eyes revealing determination.

Teixeira was already waiting at the corner flag area.

Beep!
When the referee blew the whistle for the corner kick, the game time quietly reached the 89th minute.

Teixeira took a deep breath, completed a run-up and kicked the ball!
The football drew a beautiful arc in the air!

Falling into the restricted area of ​​​​Zalgris!

Eduardo was double-teamed by Kerla and Kendish and had no chance to jump up and head the ball.

The football passed over everyone's heads and fell to the back of the penalty area!
Srna at the back point held off Vitkunas, raised his thigh high, and facing the falling football, he hit the football hard with the instep of his foot!
"Teixeira took a corner kick! The players of Shakhtar Donetsk crowded into the penalty area of ​​​​Zalgiris!"

"Eduardo was completely suppressed by two big men and had no chance to head the ball!"

"The ball has landed at the back post, Srna!"

“Volley!!”

Amid the cheers of Shakhtar Donetsk fans, the football shot from bottom to top with unstoppable force towards the upper left side of the goal!
Klevinskas had a focused look and had already adjusted his position. At the moment Srna volleyed the ball, he kicked the grass hard!
The dark green glove successfully hit the football!
"Beautiful! Srna's volley was of great quality!!"

"Klevenskas!!! He made an amazing save!! He reacted quickly and touched the ball!!"

"That was a great shot, and a beautiful dive!"

Snapped! !

The trajectory of the football was changed and hit the crossbar!

The powerful shot made the ball bounce back into the penalty area!

Fred Guimas, who had just come on as a substitute, jumped up immediately and headed the ball away!

The football flew outside the penalty area.

Azevedo was standing at the first landing point of the football, and Xia Han ran over.

Azevedo faced the low-flying football, looked at Xia Han who was gradually approaching, stood in place and shook his head, wanting to pass the ball to Teixeira not far ahead.

Snap! Snap! !
First there was the sound of Azevedo's head hitting the football.

Then Xia Han jumped lightly and pushed the football forward!
"Hey! Azevedo made a mistake! He wanted to head the ball, but he didn't expect Xia Han to be so fast!"

"Xia Han touched the football with his head, and there was a space in front of him!" Xia Han, like a little bull, pushed Azevedo away with his body, pushed the ball forward with force, and directly started the explosive mode, running forward!
Tens of thousands of fans in the Donbass Arena burst into boos, as if this could stop Xia Han's advance.

"As fast as a tiger! At this stage near the end of the game, Xia Han can still run such a long distance!"

"Charge alone! Xia Han has an open space in front of him! Srna and Rakitsky fight back to defend!"

Xia Han brought the ball into the penalty area, Srna quickly chased back, and Kaniborocki decisively chose to attack, making a K-shaped blocking posture.

The moment Xia Han entered the penalty area, he faked a shot and dunked to shake off Srna who was chasing him, and swung his leg slightly.

boom! !

The football made a bang!
Xia Han fired a heavy shot from close range!
It was like a sharp sword piercing straight to the top of the near corner of the goal, lifting the Donetsk Shakhtar's net high!
2-3! ! !

The audience was shocked!

The fans of Shakhtar Donetsk collapsed in their seats.

What kind of monster is this? ?
Xia Han, wearing the No. 14 green and white striped jersey, looks like a devil on earth!

"It's in! The ball is in!!!"

"In the 90th minute of the game, Xia Han scored a goal that killed the suspense of the game!"

"Azevedo's mistake led to Xia Han's beautiful long-distance run!!"

"Like a demon slayer from heaven, he is truly the Tai Sui God on earth! Violent aesthetics, close range and powerful artillery!"

"Heart of a tiger, smelling roses! Top touch rhythm and tendency to fake moves!"

"At the last minute of the game, Zalgiris relied on Xia Han's hat trick to overtake the score, and the score was rewritten to 2-3!!!"

"This is also Xia Han's fourth consecutive hat trick in the Champions League! Making history! Although Xia Han has been unable to score goals after the group stage, his impressive record of twelve goals at least puts him in the top three of the scorer list!"

On all four stands of the Donbass Arena, fans of Shakhtar Donetsk were silent.

The few Zalgiris and Chinese fans in the away stands held up banners.

[Victory belongs to us! Xia will lead us to victory! ]

Xia Han rushed all the way to the away fans' stands on the sidelines.

Sitting on the billboard, with arms open, accepting praise from fans!

On the sidelines of the court, Lucescu's hand holding the mineral water bottle was shaking constantly.

"Hurry up! We still have to score another goal!" Lucescu looked at the sign in the center circle.

The fourth official had raised the injury time sign, which showed six minutes.

"If Ismaili was here..." Lucescu shook his head, saying that the loss should not be blamed on the players.

"Calm down! Stay calm!" Lucescu kept gesturing to the players on the field.

"Hurry up and think of a way to score a goal during injury time!!"

Lucescu and the panicked coaching staff quickly arranged tactics for the next game.

How can we score a goal and equalize the score in just six minutes?
On the other side, a smile appeared on Dambruaskas' face. Maintaining this score, the third place in the group was secured!

"We will play a 9-0-1 formation next, and let Xia be the only one in the front!"

"The players of Shakhtar Donetsk will definitely be anxious and nervous. Maybe we can sneak in another goal!"
