Sao Paulo's only chance in the first half of extra time came in the 105th minute, Leonardo broke through from the right and sent in a low cross, Ricardo scrambled in front of the post to try to tackle the goal, but Ambrosini defended very well, and Ricardo's shot hit his leg and bounced off the line.

Sao Paulo took a corner kick, and Dida found it inconvenient to pick up the ball, so he punched the ball out of the box. Sao Paulo controlled the drop and was just about to organise another attack when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half of extra time.

Due to the silver ball system in extra time of this game, both sides did not score in the first half, so it was necessary to play the full 120 minutes.

This is not good news for both sides.

Especially for AC Milan, who have to play a league game before entering the winter break.

Carlo Ancelotti is also helpless about this, but he can't let a player who has been fighting for 105 minutes give up at the last minute.

Players from both sides slowly walked towards the opposing half. Between the two halves of extra time, there is no break, and the players can only walk as slowly as possible and go to the sidelines to drink water and other things to buy themselves a little respite.

Ricardo dragged his heavy steps, thinking about countermeasures as he went. But due to the lack of oxygen, his thinking was not very clear, and his reaction slowed down.

It's not just him, all the players who played the whole game are not going to be better than him right now.

Not only does the mind react decrease, but the fatigue of the muscles also leads to deformed movements and a greater tolerance for making mistakes.

In the first half of extra time, both sides made frequent mistakes, and the passing accuracy rate dropped below 75%. In extra time, it's not about who plays better, it's about who makes fewer mistakes.

It was clear that in the first half of extra time, Sao Paulo made more mistakes.

But Ricardo didn't believe that the other side would not make mistakes. As long as you are patient, there will always be opportunities, the only question is whether you can grasp the opportunity when it arises. In this regard, Ricardo was a little less confident.

In the 105th minute, if it had been changed to the beginning, he would have scored 90 per cent.

But just now, his movements were more than a beat slower than usual, resulting in the successful blocking of Ambrosini.

"Massimo, well done." While Ambrosini was drinking water on the sidelines, Ancelotti tapped him on the shoulder.

Ancelotti put one hand in his trouser pocket, his expression relaxed, and he looked like he was holding a wisdom bead, "In the last 15 minutes, keep your condition and don't let up." That kid is very good at working miracles, and he must be famous for riding on your neck. ”

Ambrosini gasped slightly, and replied confidently: "I know he's great, and I won't let my guard down on him." With me, he doesn't want to score. ”

"That's good." Ancelotti turned to Rui again. Kosta, Shevchenko and others said a few words. He wants his team to score a goal and not drag it to a penalty shoot-out, which AC Milan are not good at.

As the players slowly took their seats, referee Ivanov blew the whistle to signal the game to restart. Sao Paulo thought that AC Milan would shrink in defense, but they didn't expect AC Milan to launch continuous attacks at the beginning, and they were suddenly beaten a little confused.

In the 109th minute, Rui. Costa dribbled the ball on the left flank, first took two slow steps, then suddenly accelerated to cut in, shook off the lack of concentration, and fired a powerful shot 25 meters from the goal, the ball hit Lugano's leg and was about to fly off the bottom line, when Inzaghi arrived and gently cushioned the ball, and the ball flew into the goal from the opposite direction of Cheney.

AC Milan take the lead!

The Yokohama International Stadium erupted in applause and cheers, as if it had become the home of AC Milan.

Rojas sat back in the dugout with his head down, and the goal at this time wiped out Sao Paulo's efforts throughout the game. He also had nothing to do, so he simply gave up the command and left everything to fate.

Sao Paulo's players looked blank. At this point, they didn't think about scoring goals, they just thought about how to drag it out to the penalty shootout, but reality taught them a cruel lesson.

AC Milan failed to score in the first half of extra-time, and this time a chance that was not a chance led to a goalkeeper.

"Cheer up!" Ricardo clapped his hands and loudly reminded his teammates, "We still have time!" Cheer up, don't think about anything else, concentrate on this attack! ”

Captain Cheney also cheered up the defenders at the back after kicking the ball into the center circle.

Their words had a certain effect, and some of the Sao Paulo players did pick themselves up and after the game restarted, they began to put pressure on the AC Milan goal.

AC Milan showed a hint of slackening after taking the lead, with Sao Paulo seizing the opportunity and pressing in succession up front.

In the 112th minute, Seedorf's pass to Pancaro was a little bigger, and Pancarro parked the ball a little far away from his body. Leonardo intercepted the ball with a sliding tackle, then quickly got up with his hands on the ground and passed the ball to Elton in the middle.

Elton passed the ball to Ricardo, who retreated to respond, did not entangle with Ambrosini behind him, and passed directly to the wing, again to Leonardo, who had already gotten rid of Pancarro.

Pancaro struggled to catch up, although Leonardo was not very fast, but he was a player who came on near the end of the second half, and he was still full of energy, sprinting hard to open up the distance between him and Pancarro, and then quickly passed the ball to the middle to Ricardo before Seedorf intercepted.

Ricardo unloaded the ball with the outside of his right foot, blocked Ambrosini with his left hand, and wanted to sprint with the ball to shoot directly, but he slumped and almost was cut off by Ambrosini.

Ricardo was no longer reluctant and passed the ball back, but Ricardinho did not stop the ball and stuffed it directly to Elton.

Elton showed good technical skills and pretended to drop back to meet the ball, but swept the ball behind him with his right foot in the final moments.

Ricardo just pulled out a gap and quickly picked up the ball to shoot before Ambrosini could block it.

The ball flew against the turf towards the far end of the goal, but it was slightly right and Dida fell to the ground and swooped the ball out.

However, he also made a mistake in this moment, and instead of flying towards the AC Milan defenders, the ball fell to the feet of Tardelli. Tardelli adjusted his step, calmly got to his feet, and the ball went into the net.

"Tardelli goal! His stoppage shot equalised for Sao Paulo! AC Milan were chased back just 3 minutes ahead! ”

"The score became a 2-2 draw, and if this score is maintained, there will be a brutal penalty shoot-out between the two sides!"
