In the VIP box, the president of Rome, Sensi, happily hugged her husband and kissed again and again, this game is of great significance, if Roma can beat Inter Milan, their hope of winning the championship is even greater than Inter Milan, if they can win a league title for Roma, Sensi feels that she can also comfort her father's spirit in heaven.
on the pitch
After hitting the three posts, the Inter players started to get anxious and now they have gone crazy, with the two full-backs, Zanetti and McConn, both pressing past the centre circle and being able to play as wing-backs.
In the 90th minute of the game, the fourth official raised the sign for 4 minutes of stoppage time, and the experienced Ranieri was ready to make a substitution, asking Brigi to change his clothes and prepare to replace De Rossi, which was a counterpoint substitution, except for Brigi's good physical fitness, there was not much tactical significance, if there was, then it was a waste of time.
Inter Milan on the pitch are making their last attack in regular time.
Roma shrank into the 30-meter area and adopted the method of zone plus man defense, staring at the key figures of Inter Milan, especially Gao Xiaodong, who was almost inseparable, and resolutely did not give Gao Xiaodong the opportunity to take the ball and shoot from a distance.
At this time, Sneijder, who joined Inter Milan and had nothing to play, was the most loosely defended, so Sneijder took on the task of organizing the attack.
Seeing that there was no time left, and there was no room for the forwards to run, the grumpy Sneijder couldn't help it, and he shot straight from 25 yards.
There were so many people inside and outside the box that Sneijder's powerful shot bounced off Perrotta.
At this time, Cambiaso also came to the 30-meter area, and the ball fell right in front of him, and Cambiaso met it with another long-range shot.
Cambiaso was lucky enough to miss the shot and flew straight to the left side of the goal.
Roma goalkeeper Sergio reacted quickly and flew to get the ball out of the box again.
The ball was again picked up by Inter defender Lucio, who followed up with another long-range shot, this time the ball bounced off the defender.
Inter Milan shot three long-range shots in a row, and it seemed to play out their luck, and the ball actually bounced to Sneijder's feet again.
At this moment, Roma's penalty area has already been disrupted by Inter Milan's three consecutive long-range shots, and Sneijder saw an opportunity to take advantage of it and dribbled into the box.
At the moment when Sneijder dribbled into the box, former Inter Milan defender Burdisso stretched out his foot to steal the ball, but his movement slowed down and kicked right on Sneijder's leg, and Sneijder was kicked and fell headlong in the box.
Beep!
Referee Mora Gandhi's whistle blew and his hand pointed to the penalty spot.
A penalty was awarded in the 90th minute, and the Romans quit, and the 100,000 fans in the stands let out an earth-shattering cry: "No foul! That's not a penalty!"
Roma's players also came over to negotiate with referee Mora Gandhi, led by captain Totti.
Totti is experienced, he did not say that Burdisso did not foul, nor did he say that the ball was on the line of the penalty area, and directly said that Sneijder faked a fall and should have shown Sneijder a yellow card.
The commentator at the scene exclaimed, "God! Could it be that Inter Milan's luck has come? Give Inter Milan a chance at this sensitive time, and the referee Mora Gandhi is going to forcibly decide the game!"
The Inter fans in the stands stood up and chanted, "Penalty!"
The referee, Mora Gandhi, was very determined, and he was not influenced by the Roma players and fans, insisting on his penalty award.
Gao Xiaodong took the ball to the penalty spot when the Romans were arguing with the referee, and he was also using this action to put pressure on the referee, creating an established reality and saving time.
The facts could not be changed, and the Romans had no choice but to stand outside the big penalty area and wait for the contest between Gao Xiaodong and goalkeeper Sergio.
Sneijder looked at Gao Xiaodong standing in front of the penalty spot, and his heart was very complicated, this is an opportunity to equalize, this is a penalty created by himself, he should have taken the penalty by himself, but unfortunately he was only fourth in the order of Inter Milan's penalty kicks. It wasn't his turn to take the penalty anyway.
From the time Gao Xiaodong took the ball to the penalty spot, the fans of Rome began to desperately boo Gao Xiaodong, wanting to increase psychological pressure on Gao Xiaodong.
Taking a penalty is an honour and at the same time pressure.
This is even a penalty kick related to the ownership of the league championship, if the best penalty cannot be scored, it is estimated that Gao Xiaodong may be sprayed to death by his fans after the game.
When Gao Xiaodong hadn't come over to make a penalty, the Roman goalkeeper was thinking about Gao Xiaodong's shooting characteristics, he thought about it for a long time, and suddenly gasped in shock, because he found that Gao Xiaodong's penalty kick was irregular, there were left-footed kicks, right-footed shots, bocce balls, high-altitude balls, powerful shots, and dead corners, in short, Sergio couldn't find Gao Xiaodong's shooting habits at all, he could only gamble.
Gao Xiaodong ran slightly, raised his right leg fiercely, and raised his foot to kick towards the goal.
Roma goalkeeper Sergio saved before Gao Xiaodong's foot could touch the ball, and he chose to pounce to the left.
Sergio's save is decent, he can't wait for Gao Xiaodong to finish shooting and then save, everyone knows that Gao Xiaodong's shot is extremely powerful, and if he finishes Gao Xiaodong's shot and then save, unless Gao Xiaodong hits the ball on Sergio, Sergio is unlikely to make a successful save.
However, this time Sergio was wrong, Gao Xiaodong looked like he was going to volley hard, but he raised it high, but it fell gently, and with a gentle rub of his toes, the ball drew a parabola and fell into the Roman's goal.
The ball is in!
1:1 Draw!
Gao Xiaodong, who was excited, raised his arms and ran to the stands, the significance of this penalty is even greater for Gao Xiaodong than others, he wants the league championship to be promoted, if he loses the league championship, he will have to wait another year if he wants to be promoted to the professional S level.
At the moment of Gao Xiaodong's goal, the entire Olympic Stadium was silent for almost a second, and the fans of Rome forgot about the boos and discussions, they were all stunned, this is a spoon penalty!
"Spoon penalty! Oh my God! Is this a big heart or does he want to humiliate Totti? He actually used Totti's favorite spoon penalty! Goalkeeper Sergio was stunned, he didn't expect it to be a spoon penalty! 1:1 draw! The victory that the Romans were hoping for was gone! The penalty changed the outcome of the game......"
The on-site commentator yelled angrily at this moment, and he was still angry about the penalty awarded by the referee.
"Regardless of whether Burdisso has fouled or not, I think as a referee, the penalty should be awarded carefully at this time, and if it can be judged or not, it should not be judged, and let the players decide the outcome of the game!"
Ranieri on the sidelines looked up to the sky and sighed, he was very annoyed, he had been a coach all his life, and he always missed the championship, Ranieri didn't think that his level was not good, he felt that it was too bad luck.
Moratti in the box jumped excitedly, he raised his arms and shouted, "Good job!
Mendes smiled slightly, "I know Xiao Dong has this ability!"
In the VIP box, Chairman Sensi had just laughed and cried, and after Gao Xiaodong scored the penalty, he really cried, seeing that the three points in his hand became one point, Sensi felt that her dream of winning the league championship was gradually far away from her.
