When Tang Zheng's pass was cut off by the Costa Rican player, the head coach of the Chinese team, Lippi, pinched a cold sweat, because Tang Zheng rarely makes mistakes, and his position is quite important, once the ball is broken at his feet, it is a very dangerous thing!

Brenes, who broke the ball, was very good at reading the game, and he quickly looked up to captain Ruiz after intercepting the ball.

Seeing the captain Ruiz running out of the vacant position, Tang Zheng, who didn't pay attention to the passing error, did not step forward to block, but chose to pass the ball directly to Ruiz.

As for the rest, it doesn't matter much to him.

No one thought that Tang Zheng, who made a mistake, chose to be very decisive, he didn't go to Brennes, who got the ball, but turned around and ran to Ruiz, who had already opened the vacancy, and it was Tang Zheng who gambled on the right person and made him change from a 'sinner' to a successful minister!

Ruiz's transition to turn the ball was affected by the decline in physical fitness, and he made an extra adjustment, and it was this extra adjustment that allowed Tang Zheng to find the opportunity to tackle behind the right side.

Tang Zheng shoveled quickly and accurately, and the heel of his right foot that stepped out was just stuck in the route of the football, and Ruiz's right foot, which was speeding up from Tang Zheng, was stagnated by the resistance of his right foot stretched out from Tang Zheng, and his upper body was still subjected to inertia to lean forward, and finally his center of gravity was unstable and he fell to the ground.

Ruiz has a lot of experience in the game, and even though he realized that Tang Zheng's movements were perfect, he subconsciously covered his right foot with both hands and rolled on the ground in pain, just like Tang Zheng tackled not the ball but his right ankle.

Tang Zheng was very confident in his movements, he did tackle the football, and Ruiz's fall to the ground was only affected by inertia.

The only one who decides whether there is a foul or not is referee Eriksen.

Tang Zheng, who got up for the first time, did not hear the whistle blown by the referee Eriksen, which also means that the referee Eriksen's subjective consciousness thinks that Tang Zheng's actions are completely towards the football, without the intention of infringing on people, and the action is very perfect to stop the football.

So Tang Zheng took advantage of the situation to flick the ball to the right with the outside of his right foot, dodged Kuvelo's interception between the lightning and flint, and then made a long pass to find Lu Liang, who was inserted forward at high speed.

Lu Liang was extremely fast, leaving the Costa Rican backline behind him in a few steps, and then flew to the far end of the penalty area with his left foot, Costa Rican goalkeeper Navas moved too late, and Sun Jingbo, who was outflanked in place, chose the footwork very appropriately, and blocked the ball with his right foot.

The ball changed direction and continued to fly towards the goal, almost against the right post......

Goalkeeper Keylor Navas had excellent goal-line skills and reflexes, but his limited height caused him to lack his reach, and the fingertips of his extended left arm failed to touch the football, and he could only watch the ball fly past the goal line on the inside of the right goal post and crash into the snow-white net.

Half a second later, a deafening loud shout erupted over the Pernambuco State Arena: "Whoa—"

After a short pause, Yang 5 commentator He Wei shouted hysterically: "The ball is in! The ball is in! The game is in the 90th minute! Sun Jingbo's first goal in the World Cup helps us equalize! 1:1!! This is a goal that will go down in history!!"

British Sky commentator Andy Gray was passionate: "Incredible! Who would have thought that the Chinese team would equalize as soon as the game entered injury time?"

"I thought of it!" Martin Taylor, the commentator who felt the rush on his face, subconsciously responded: "Although it was Sun who helped the Chinese team score goals, the key player was still Tang! He did not recklessly pounce on the source of possession at the first time of his mistake, but chose Costa Rican captain Brian Ruiz! The tackle was decisive and accurate! The small technique was skillful, and the timing and strength of the pass were excellent!"

※※※

Sun Jingbo, who scored the goal, stood up with his hands on the ground, opened his arms, and ran all the way to the Dragon Team fan club behind the goal, raising his arms and shouting.

Gao Lin, Lu Liang, Zhang Linpeng and others ran to Sun Jingbo, who was celebrating wildly, and vented the great pleasure brought by the equalizer together.

Referee Eriksen signaled that the Chinese team's goal was valid, but the Costa Rican players were not happy, and they surrounded referee Eriksen, pointing to the captain Ruiz, who was still rolling on the ground, and asked for an explanation.

Costa Rica coach Pinto also excitedly questioned the fourth official, questioning the referee on duty Eriksen's decision.

If Duarte's previous two yellows and one red were within a reasonable range, then Tang Zheng's shovel on the side and rear this time was definitely a foul!

In Pinto's eyes, Tang Zheng's right foot in the tackle did not reach the football, but chopped firmly on Ruiz's right foot.

The Chinese fans in the stands were passionately chanting like a tsunami, and the Costa Rican fans were dissatisfied and made huge boos, but the Chinese fans were superior in numbers and high emotions, which was much stronger than Costa Rica, where negative emotions prevailed.

The Chinese players celebrating the goal ignored the complaining Costa Rican players, and the players, including captain Zheng Zhi, ran to the place where Sun Jingbo celebrated the goal and vented their hard-won goals together.

Playing with one more man and equalising at the start of stoppage time was a very morale-boosting goal!

Tang Zheng, who was still thinking about fishing out the football in the goal, shook his head helplessly when he saw his teammates who couldn't help himself, then smiled, opened his arms, and ran towards Sun Jingbo.

Anyway, stoppage time has just begun, and there is still plenty of time to overtake the score!

The on-site director immediately gave a slow-motion replay of the entire goal, especially the action of Tang Zheng putting the shovel several times.

No matter how you look at it, Tang Zheng's movements are very clean, in the words of Sky TV commentator Marcel Leif, "a textbook side-and-back shovel that is difficult to replicate!"

Then Tang Zheng's sudden change of direction after getting up also won a burst of praise from the on-site commentators, and the central 5 commentator He Wei did not hesitate to praise, and his mouth was like a river: "The connection action is full of ornamentality! It's like a peerless masterpiece with extraordinary artistic conception, and the long transmission letter is just right! Completely calculates Lu Liang's speed to the extreme! The FIFA Golden Ball Award winner really deserves his name!!"

The head coach Lippi in front of the home team's coach's bench, his assistant Madaloni, and the Chinese assistant coach Li Tie hugged each other, waving their arms excitedly to vent the pressure of their bodies.

The substitutes on the bench jumped three feet high, and many of them half-knelt on the ground, clenched their fists, and waved back and forth.

Although there are still players who have not been given the opportunity to play, being able to follow the national team to the quarterfinals of the World Cup is also glorious!

Thousands of miles away, Chinese fans in front of the TV or computer instantly lost themselves and entered the crazy celebration mode of scoring goals.

For these fans who have their hearts in their throats, it is true that the goal is a bit late, but as the saying goes, a good meal is not afraid of being late!

※※※

Tang Zheng's status in China is extremely high, and it is easy to know from his arrival in the celebration circle that his teammates automatically gave up their positions, put their shoulders together, and frantically celebrated the equaliser.

Of course, Tang Zheng didn't completely fall into madness, he still maintained a certain amount of sanity, and after his teammates vented some of the pressure, he calmly let go of his hands and slapped his palms instead.

The Chinese players who were still quite excited with their facial expressions looked at Tang Zheng curiously, Tang Zheng did not have any foreshadowing, and said bluntly: "Hey~ brothers, I am not pouring cold water on you, but the equalizer is not worth being so excited." ”

After that, Tang Zheng pointed to the huge LCD TV screen on the pitch with his right hand, which not only gave a slow-motion replay of the goal, but also the existing score display and time.

The score was 1:1

The race time was 90'26"

Tang Zheng's attention is the passing game time, and other teammates don't know, so Tang Zheng continued: "There are more than three minutes left in four minutes of injury time, and now we equalize and play one more person, do you want to overtake the score at the end of the game, or will overtime and penalty shootouts decide to advance to the quarterfinals?"

Everyone is not stupid, there is a chance to end the battle in stoppage time, why drag it out until extra time?

If extra time doesn't end the game, is it a penalty shootout?

The penalty shoot-out was full of uncertainty, and with Costa Rica goalkeeper Keylor Navas in good form and a penalty saver on his resume, no one wanted to leave the suspense of promotion in the penalty shoot-out.

Extra time?

Now that the drop in fitness is already noticeable, overtime?

What international jokes?

As a result, everyone's excitement was suppressed to a certain extent, and they shook their heads one after another.

"Okay, then we're going to take the lead in the final stoppage time!"

Tang Zheng's right hand was clenched into a fist, and he slammed into his left hand with the palm facing up, and the sound was like a bell.

Not long after, Tang Zheng fished out the football from the Costa Rican goal and ran towards his own half.

The Costa Rican players, who had been surrounding referee Eriksson for an explanation, were dispersed after two players received yellow cards, and manager Pinto was also warned.

Seeing the referee's decision so resolute, Costa Rica captain Ruiz stood up in frustration, but he couldn't stay on the pitch.

Naturally, it wasn't Eriksen who sent him off, but his exaggerated tumbling that caused Eriksen to call the team doctor on the field.

According to the rules, a player who has been treated must leave the pitch temporarily and get permission from the head coach on the sidelines before re-entering the game.

"Woo-woo-"

So Costa Rica in the stands once again booed the referee Eriksen, they thought that Duarte's red card had been tilted in favor of the Chinese team, Tang Zheng's side back shovel was more obvious, and now they drove away the captain Ruiz to leave the field temporarily, how can you bear it"

"Whoa—"

Chinese fans are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they booed the Costa Rican fans while creating a huge cheer to applaud the referee!

Tang Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, then put the football in his hand on the tee point in the center circle, and then slapped his palms again towards his teammates, shouting: "Brothers, do you have the confidence to solve the battle within three minutes?"

"Yes!"

Even though the fanatical atmosphere of the Pernambuco State Arena was full of momentum and momentum, Tang Zheng's voice still reached the ears of most of his teammates, and his teammates were also very powerful and responded loudly.

Especially Sun Jingbo, who scored the equalizer, the blue tendons on his neck and face were excited.

Costa Rica had the advantage of kick-off, but captain Ruiz was still waiting on the sidelines for the referee's permission, which was equivalent to a nine-man fight after kick-off, in order to avoid an unacceptable situation, the central midfielder Cuverlo did not hesitate to kick the ball out of the sideline, giving up control of the football.

In fact, there was no choice, referee Eriksen seemed to forget that Ruiz was waving on the sidelines to enter, and did not look at the sidelines......

The ball flew off the sideline before referee Eriksson turned to the sideline and waved for Costa Rica captain Ruiz to come in and continue the game.

Jiang Zhipeng threw the ball on the left sideline, the Chinese team organized an attack in the backfield, and Wu Xi received the football in the middle circle of his side.

Wu Xi carried the ball through the half without encountering the defense of the Costa Rican players, but he knew his duty in the game, so he did not dribble again and handed the ball to Lu Liang, who retreated to respond.

Soon, the football came to Tang Zheng's feet again.

Next to him, there is a Costa Rican player in charge of the defense, and there are other defenders on either side who are ready to help.

Tang Zheng, who has a strong ability to read the game, did not make a personal breakthrough, and directly found a long pass on the right side to assist Zhang Linpeng in the attacking 30-meter area.

Zhang Linpeng parked the football, looked at Gao Lin and Sun Jingbo in the penalty area, and then crossed directly at 45 degrees on the right side.

The football landing point is not within the range of Gao Lin and Sun Jingbo, and the central defender Gonzalez directly pushed the ball out of the bottom line with his head for safety.

With one man missing, the Chinese team equalized in injury time, and the Costa Rican players were very worried that the Chinese team would overtake the score in one go, so the actions in the penalty area were cautious.

Do not seek merit, but seek no fault.

Getting another opportunity to attack from a corner kick, Tang Zheng slowly ran to the penalty area, waiting for Wu Xi to take a corner kick on the left side.

As in the past, Tang Zheng was surrounded by at least two Costa Rican defenders.

The tall central defender Gonzalez followed Tang Zheng, and the captain Ruiz, who is 1.86 meters tall, was next to the defender, for fear that Tang Zheng would grab the football landing point.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei and commentator Gong Lei chatted nervously about the game, but considering the bad corner kicks in the past and Navas's wonderful performance, they did not express full confidence.

In their minds, they are more inclined to the possibility of the game going to extra time.

Not many people noticed that Tang Zheng inadvertently raised his right arm towards Wu Xi, who was taking the corner kick, and then stretched out his right index finger.

The frenetic atmosphere at the Pernambuco Arena has become more and more frenetic as time has waned, and most of the fans of the 'Dragons Fan Club' have hoarse voices, but they still keep shouting and cheering for their beloved national team!

At this moment, Tang Zheng suddenly pushed Gonzalez and Ruiz away with both hands, started from the penalty spot, bypassed Gao Lin and other Costa Rican players, and ran to the back point.

"Look at him!!"

Navas subconsciously shouted.

Ruiz was pushed back by Tang Zheng by half a step, and then started on the spot again but bumped into Gao Lin.

Gonzalez was tall and had a very flexible brain, and he didn't follow Tang Zheng's running route to chase it, but ran directly to the goal......

At the same time, Wu Xi took a corner kick from the left side.
