Chapter 133: Entering the Penalty Shootout
Originally, Li Xuan always thought that this season's AFC Champions League final would have nothing to do with the Chinese side, and he himself was the only Chinese football practitioner who participated in the AFC Champions League final.
However, at a sideline penalty after the official start of the final between Al Sadd and Jeonbuk Hyundai, Li Xuan actually saw a Chinese player sitting on the bench of Jeonbuk Hyundai, the potential midfielder Huang Baiwen who should have worked hard in the K League for a season!
Such an unexpected discovery made Li Xuan a little happy and abrupt.
For a moment, Li Xuan was a little unprofessional, hoping that Goryeo's Jeonbuk Hyundai team could win this final, and then this Chinese compatriot player who entered the substitute lineup in Jeonbuk Hyundai would have better be able to get the chance to play!
In fact, in the final, the momentum of the game that the Jeonbuk Hyundai side of Korea then showed was really a bit of an attitude of vowing to win. They continued to bomb indiscriminately, and with the advantage of the home stadium and the cheering momentum of the fans, they quickly showed the super strong demeanor of a home team!
In the first ten minutes of Li Xuan's entire game, most of the law enforcement process was still in the half of the Qatari team Al Sadd, watching the momentum of Jeonbuk Hyundai press Al Sadd's formation very flat, he didn't need to run back and forth too much.
Then, on the Al Sadd side, the players seemed to be a little flustered, and they only kept relying on fouls to stop Jeonbuk Hyundai's onslaught!
Li Xuan also had to keep blowing the whistle, not wanting the players of this team to deliberately try their own whistle punishment scale, but came up with his own consistent punishment standards.
It is probably due to the fact that Al Sadd has not officially become accustomed to Jeonbuk Hyundai's home momentum. So it was in the nineteenth minute of the game. They even took the initiative to foul. Gave Jeonbuk Hyundai a well-placed free kick again!
After Li Xuan made a penalty to recognize Al Sadd's foul, he immediately left the football in place, and then skillfully let Al Sadd's defenders go to the wall to defend, and the players on both sides stood a little behind!
Basically, Li Xuan used a fairly standard distance position to lay the position on the field for the free kick decision.
As a result, neither team had any controversy, but continued to concentrate on guarding each other. There was no pulling or sneaking of distances that is common in races.
In this way, Li Xuan blew the whistle quite easily and asked Jeonbuk Hyundai to take the free kick, while he himself stood on the side and should be in a professional position.
In fact, after seeing the striker of Jeonbuk Hyundai standing near the free kick penalty spot and making a gesture and confident expression, Li Xuan guessed that the ball would be directly attacked from the perspective of a referee who has been in contact with football for a long time, and there is a great possibility that it will be scored!
Sure enough, just a few moments after Li Xuan blew the penalty kick whistle, he witnessed the football drawing an S-shaped line. Falling straight into the back of the net, Al Sadd's goalkeeper didn't have time to react. Watch the ball go into the net.
1 to 0, Jeonbuk Hyundai Team leads!
Tick tick!
Li Xuan blew the whistle and made gestures quite chicly, which immediately made most of the Jeonbuk Hyundai and Goryeo fans on the scene celebrate!
Obviously, Jeonbuk Hyundai got off to a good start, and the previous onslaught was not wasted!
At this time, Li Xuan couldn't help but subconsciously look at Huang Baiwen sitting on the bench in the distance, and it seemed that the possibility of him coming off the bench had suddenly increased a lot.
Of course, although there were some unprofessional distractions, Li Xuan continued to work hard to ensure fairness and no controversial mistakes in various judgments.
Probably because of the away game, but reluctantly conceded a goal first, which made Qatar's Al Sadd team finally no longer as timid as before.
Soon, they unified their thinking, let go of their hands and feet, and took out a desperate posture to directly fight with Jeonbuk Hyundai!
The offenses of the two sides finally became back and forth, and Li Xuan immediately ran in the field, and naturally became more, fully feeling the quality level from the AFC Champions League final.
Compared with the excitement and quality of the World Cup, the AFC Champions League final is of course a clear gap between the two sides. But compared with ordinary events, the quality of this AFC Champions League is still quite good, and Li Xuan has quickly made a general impression in his heart.
But just after Li Xuan gradually integrated into the analysis of the essence of the competitive competition in this game, the situation on the scene immediately underwent a new and unexpected change!
Jeonbuk Hyundai team actually took the initiative to enter the oolong again!
In the 29th minute, Jeonbuk Hyundai's defenders were very unlucky, and they put their own own goal and hit the ball into their own door, so that Al Sadd was lucky to pull a goal back!
Among the many games that Li Xuan enforced, all kinds of wonderful goals are of course varied and varied. But the number of own goals is still relatively rare, and Li Xuan has not officially awarded a few penalties personally.
And this time, the Jeonbuk defender kicked the ball into his team's goal, but there was no problem with the rules, and it was obvious that the goal was definitely valid, which made Li Xuan feel a little more fortunate and happy about this game.
This is not only the own goal itself is very dramatic, and then the scores of the two sides in the final are back to the unified starting line, which will also make the skills and tactics of both sides more significantly improved and developed, and the suspense of the game will be maintained again!
In fact, in the next game, the two sides were indeed like bayonets, and they fought more decisively and fiercely!
But the only pity is that although the scene is extremely intense, there is no way for both sides to continue to rewrite the score in a short period of time.
After the entire first half, the two sides managed to maintain a 1-1 draw.
The players who scored the goal were all Jeonbuk Hyundai players!
Most of the Goryeo fans at the scene naturally felt a little deeply regretful and reluctant for such a result, and they regretted the team's bad luck, and at the same time seemed to have become a lot more nervous.
As the referee, Li Xuan's attitude is not the same as that of Goryeo fans, but he likes the unpredictable situation and exciting atmosphere of the game more and more.
Because in this way, the AFC Champions League final he enforced will be more exciting in the second half, and it is very likely to bring him an intangible opportunity for wonderful law enforcement performance!
In addition, during the intermission, especially when Li Xuan was resting, in fact, during the game, a special stage performance of Girls' Generation was held!
This group of Korean idols, who have already successfully caused a sensation at the beginning, showed another different side of them in the intermission.
They all wore the women's football uniforms of the Korean national team to imitate the costumes of football players to continue the beautiful performances for the fans.
Naturally, the girls who wear jerseys and dance will definitely form a new wave of fanatical baptism for the fans on the scene, and Li Xuan can feel the sensational effect from the scene even in the locker room!
When the break was over and Li Xuan reappeared on the court, he coincidentally found that the nine girls who were all wearing football jerseys instantly looked like perfect female representatives of the athletic type!
Therefore, even he can't help but feel very excited about the image of the Girls' Generation members wearing jerseys, and he has officially taken more active support for this Goryeo group with a rare situation, and for the first time, he feels that those crazy fans of Girls' Generation are not completely irrational enough!
Jeonbuk Hyundai, this time on top of the AFC Champions League final, the Girls' Generation group was invited to take the opportunity to perform, which can definitely be regarded as a very beautiful one-handed commercial behavior, which has made them more popular in the hearts of Goryeo and even more fans.
Due to the continuous timely progress of the second half of the game, Li Xuan actually did not have time to continue to greet the members of Girls' Generation who had already met.
He soon brought the eyes of the fans who had almost fallen into madness, and let the two rested teams enter the tense rhythm of the game for the first time, temporarily forgetting the girlhood posture.
However, the performance cheering before Girls' Generation does not seem to bring enough good luck to Jeonbuk Hyundai.
In other words, Jeonbuk Hyundai was able to invite Girls' Generation as a guest performer in the interval of this final, but completely used all their luck!
In the second half, the Jeonbuk Hyundai team suddenly lost a goal helplessly, and Keita of the Al Sadd team took the opportunity to overtake the score!
As a result, the Goryeo fans, who were still full of confidence and high emotions, changed their attitudes almost immediately, and quickly turned from the previous madness to become anxious, constantly expecting the Goryeo side to recover the score in time.
But this wait is directly until the end of regular time, and it comes to the stoppage time of the game!
But Al Sadd may have been too careless, thinking that victory seemed to be within reach, and that the AFC Champions League crown was about to be worn over their heads.
As a result, they actually had a major marking hole in a corner kick defense in stoppage time, and finally gave Goryeo an empty goal-style header opportunity!
The striker who came on as a substitute in Goryeo naturally smiled decisively at such a big gift, and was extremely lucky to complete the equalizer before the end of the game time!
Obviously, in this AFC Champions League final, in addition to the usual situation of scoring goals, there are more own-goals, equalizers, overtakes, and the super dramatic situation of pressing the whistle in stoppage time and then dragging back the game!
Li Xuan was able to enforce such a final this time, which was really earned again.
He is even looking forward to another penalty shootout in this AFC Champions League final, which can allow him to have a better final enforcement memory!
Then, this opportunity was really expected by him again. The two sides did not score anything in extra time, and they really entered the cruel penalty shootout!
