Chapter 102: One Step Away

"Oops! Woo Lei's shot hit the crossbar of the Australian team and was bounced off, which was a shame! He Wei sighed at Wu Lei's missed shot.

"There's still a chance! Shen Feng got rid of the defenders of the Australian team with his speed, rushed over, header! The ball is in! Xu Yang broadcast the latest developments on the field in a timely manner.

"Shen Feng! It's Shen Feng again! Shen Feng completed a hat trick in such an important game! Three goals, all key! He Wei's voice was already hoarse.

"Three goals, Shen Feng used three different ways to prove the comprehensiveness of his attack! The game of the Dragon Country team has been stabilized! Now the game, counting injury time, there are only ten minutes left, and the Australian team wants to score two goals in such a short period of time, in front of such a dragon team, it is difficult to compare! Xu Yang's voice also showed exhaustion, but the excitement made him forget his fatigue.

"Yes! Moreover, if the Australian team wants to continue to attack, it is bound to be on defense, and it will leave an opportunity for the Dragon Country team to take advantage of, Shen Feng's state in this game is too good, Wu Lei also showed a good shooting feeling in the attack just now, if the Australian team does not make changes to the counterattack of the Dragon Country team, then this goal may not be the last goal of the Dragon Country team in this game. He Wei is also full of confidence in the performance of the Dragon Country team on the field.

It's not that the Australian team doesn't want to make changes, it's that they can't! Losing one goal, losing two goals, for them, there is no difference, if they want to continue to move forward in the World Cup qualifiers, they can only go out and attack desperately, and strive for the possibility that there is only one line left.

After the Australian team restarted, the whole army pressed, and even the two full-backs assisted the front, leaving only two central defenders and a goalkeeper in the backfield, and there was almost no defense.

In the face of the Australian team's broken situation, the Dragon team had to shrink the defensive line back and tie up the fence.

Shen Feng and Wu Lei also retreated to the vicinity of the middle line, forming the first line of defense of the Dragon Country team and directly participating in the defense.

However, the Dragon Country team did not give up the counterattack because of this, Shen Feng and Wu Lei are both players who are good at speed, and the large space in the backfield of the Australian team is just able to allow them to give full play to the advantages of Chu's speed and physical fitness.

Three minutes later, the Dragons played another dangerous counter-attack, but Wu Lei's final shot, at a slightly correct angle, was lifted over the crossbar by the Australian goalkeeper.

As the game time passed minute by minute, the mood of the Australian team players began to become a little impatient, and the action became bigger and bigger after losing the ball in the frontcourt.

Not to be outdone, the players of the Dragons continued to disrupt the Australian team's attack with vicious tackles.

The situation on the field was very hot, sparks were flying, and the referee had to show two yellow cards in a row, one each for the Dragons and Australia, in this way, to warn the players on both sides to pay attention to the scale and discipline of the game.

Ninety minutes of regular play time had been exhausted in the back-and-forth battle between the two sides, and the stoppage time card held up by the fourth official showed that the stoppage time in the second half of the game was four minutes.

The overall situation has been decided, and He Wei is in the mood to say witticisms, "Now, the game commentary on Australian TV should be saying, 'There is not much time left for the Australian team'!" ”

Xu Yang smiled and continued, "Indeed! The Australian team now has only four minutes left, and it is too difficult to score two goals in a row to ensure victory, even if they have a Shen Feng in the team, it is impossible to complete such a task! ”

However, the Australian team did not give up and continued to attack and seek the last chance of life.

In the second minute of stoppage time, Australia won a well-placed direct free-kick in front, and the penalty taker kicked a beautiful elevator kick, which went over the wall of the Dragons and was about to fly off the crossbar when it fell sharply into the corner of the Dragons goal.

Zeng Cheng, the goalkeeper of the Dragon National Team, was powerless against the Australian team's shot.

In the final moments of the game, the Australian team stubbornly equalized again!

However, this goal did not help the Australian team to retain their hopes of qualifying, and even if the game ended in a draw, the Dragons will eliminate the Australian team by away goals and advance to the intercontinental play-offs of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers in Russia.

After Australia scored the equaliser, the scorer did not celebrate, but ran into the Dragons goal, trying to pick up the ball and take it to the centre circle so that the Dragons could kick off as soon as possible.

On the side of the Dragon Country, of course, they had to find ways to delay the game, and the players of the Australian team almost clashed in the goal, but the referee arrived in time to control the situation.

The Dragons dragged their feet, and after restarting the game, they didn't try to attack again, but fell in the back, consuming the little time left in the game.

The players of the Australian team, although still trying to fight, have been to no avail.

When Lippi pointed to his wrist and complained to the fourth official for the third time that the game time had been full, the referee on the field finally blew the whistle for the end of the game under the common expectation of hundreds of millions of Dragon Country fans.

The full-time score of the second leg of the Asian play-offs of the World Cup qualifiers between the Dragons and Australia was finally set at 3:3.

The aggregate score of the two legs is also 3:3.

According to FIFA regulations, in a two-legged draw in the World Cup qualifying play-offs, the away goals are counted first, and extra-time will only be played if the away goals are the same.

The Dragons kept a clean sheet at home, scored three goals away, and finally eliminated the strong rival Australia with the advantage of away goals, and won the 0.5 places out of the 4.5 places in the Asian zone of the 2018 World Cup Qualifiers in Russia, and then will play a two-legged play-off with the fourth place in the World Cup qualifiers in North America and the Caribbean, and decide a place to qualify for the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia!

The Dragon Nation team is one step closer to the finals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia!

Although the final result will not be revealed until two games a month later, the current result is enough to surprise Dragon Kingdom fans.

After 16 years, the Dragon Country team has once again come to the threshold of the World Cup finals, and it is only one step away from realizing the World Cup dream again!
