The first half was served by Kaiserslautern.

They started the attack, trying to pry open the door to Bochum in the shortest possible time with their current third-ranked forward strength in the Bundesliga.

However, they tried twice in the middle, but under Shen Peng's tireless defense, they were in vain, so they switched to the wing.

In the fifth minute, Kaiserslautern broke through with the ball on the wing and came to the bottom line, and then crossed with a kick.

As the ball flew towards their centre-forward, a tall, strong black man, Fabian used his header to clear the ball first.

The ball bounced out and fell right at the feet of Shen Peng outside the penalty area, Shen Peng got up directly, and the vulture shot!

Of course, it wasn't a shot, it was a pass, and as he got up, the two strikers, Dedic and Scheidhall, both ran forward at the same time.

Kaiserslautern had studied the footage of Shen Peng's last game against Stuttgart, so their defense was on the verge of attacking the enemy at this time, and several people immediately followed the two strikers and interfered with their shots.

Because Shen Peng's pass was so comfortable, even though they interfered with the side, Dedic still found an opportunity and shot with his feet.

However, due to interference, the ball missed and eventually flew off the side of the goal.

Kaiserslautern's head coach also breathed a sigh of relief, but it was obviously not the way to be so worried, and immediately began to direct the defense of the players on the field, and let the two defenders specifically target these two men.

As for Shen Peng, they couldn't keep an eye on it, they found through the video that Shen Peng would always dodge the defenders at a tricky angle when he came out, unless it was a wall, they couldn't prevent Shen Peng, so they didn't bother to spend that effort.

After this counterattack, Kaiserslautern's attack also slowed down significantly, firstly, they were more careful to avoid the situation just now, and secondly, after the opening few minutes, the two sides were used to it, and the odd soldiers were useless.

The two sides then played each other's offense and defence, constantly pulling each other, and although this was the first time Bochum had used a 4-4-2 formation, it seemed to work well.

For the average team, the points of attack in their midfield are all forward midfielders, but Bochum has two midfield points after adding Shen Peng, which makes Kaiserslautern more difficult to defend.

The two sides went through 30 minutes smoothly, and although there were a few shots on goal, they were either off target or blocked by the goalkeeper, and the pitch was still 0-0.

The head coach of Kaiserslautern paced back and forth on the sidelines.

In this game, he wants to win, because if the third in the Bundesliga wants to be promoted, he will have to play with the sixteenth place in the Bundesliga, and it will be difficult for them to deal with the teams in the Bundesliga, even if they are at the bottom, so the safest way is to rank in the top two.

They are currently seven points clear of second-placed Braunschweig, so he is interested in every game now, especially against a lower team like Bochum, and if they can't win, how can they be promoted?

Even though Bochum defeated Stuttgart in the Bundesliga in the last German Cup game, he also believed that it was because of Bochum's unexpected effect, so they practiced the whole team to focus on defending Dedicci before the game.

The only thing he didn't expect now was that Bochum had changed to a double striker, so he was a little caught off guard for a while.

While he was thinking about what to do, something happened on the field.

At this time, Bochum's attack had already crossed the half, and Shen Peng was dribbling the ball.

After entering the first few games, the teams in the Bundesliga all knew that Shen Peng had a long-range shooting ability at thirty or forty meters, so now as soon as Shen Peng arrived in this area, they became vigilant.

But Shen Peng now has a number of options, he can shoot on goal, he can also use the pass to play with the two strikers, and he can also choose to pass to other midfield teammates.

This made Kaiserslautern's players suddenly a little unsure of how to defend, but they couldn't let Shen Peng dribble the ball, so one of their midfielders immediately came to force and couldn't let Shen Peng get up comfortably.

Shen Peng found that the opponent's goalkeeper had been fully focused on standing in position, and Dedic and Scheidhauer were also entangled by the opposing defenders, and he didn't have a good chance.

He didn't hesitate too much and passed the ball directly to Gorezka.

Gorezka as Bochum's main midfielder, the strength is naturally not bad, after he received the ball, a straight stop, with the tacit understanding with Dedic for many years, he rolled the ball directly into the penalty area, and Dedicci also asked the Kaiserslautern defenders to defend at the same time, rushing to the ball, as long as he gets the ball, at this distance, he has almost a 100% chance to score.

However, when he rushed towards the ball, the defender who defended him fell directly to the ground and slid the tackle in order to stop the goal, ready to clear the ball!

Since Dedic was facing away from the defender, he didn't know what was going on behind him, so he flicked the ball forward, adjusted his posture and prepared to shoot, but the defender who had slid before had already arrived, shoveled to his ankle, and shoveled him to the ground!

The whistle blew and the referee ran over and showed the defender a red card and awarded a penalty!

The crowd erupted in boos, and the defender had no choice but to resign after trying to defend himself.

The Kaiserslautern manager immediately ranted at the fourth official, believing it to be a miscalculation, but the fourth official apparently ignored him.

At this time, Bochum's team doctor also ran to the field to check on his Dedicci's injury.

After the inspection, they showed serious expressions, and it was clear that Dedic could no longer play!

Neururell had a gloomy face and had to be replaced by another striker, Glashvili.

Although there are still two substitute strikers in the team, they are both worse than Dedic, and Dedic now has a high degree of tacit understanding with Shen Peng, if one person is replaced, then Bochum's offensive efficiency will be greatly reduced, which will seriously affect the future schedule!

Neururell couldn't help but curse twice, no matter what, the game would go on.

Now it's Bochum's turn to serve the penalty.

Usually, the penalty taker in the team is Dedic, the free taker is Freier, and now that Dedicci is gone, it is a question who will take the penalty.

"Fryer, go ahead."

'I can't, I'm only good at free-kicks.' Fryer shook his head.

"Scheidhauer, go ahead."

"I can't do it either......"

Everyone is a little shirked, the penalty kick can be a goal record for themselves, but now they are reluctant to kick this penalty, because this goal is too important, if it is scored, this game will be eleven to ten, maybe it will be won; But once the goal is not scored, and the shadow of Dedic's injury, this game will be more difficult.

So the penalty kickers, the pressure is very high.
