38. Quarterfinals
The game has entered extra time, and perhaps it can only be described as a miracle for the Allen team today.
"Guys! Resist it! In extra time, the Leverkusen team finally showed their terrifying attacking power, Neuville came off the bench, and the German striker revitalized the team's attack with his excellent performance! On the field, Kruzka was constantly cheering for his teammates with applause, and Du Yang and Pangerovica had returned to their own defensive zone. This game is different from playing Mainz, Du Yang is now exhausted. You must know that the Denilson-style cycling, the wide-open-close breakthrough, the emergency stop rattle, etc., are extremely physically demanding. Du Yang no longer remembers how many times he charged today, and now he can only force Leverkusen's ball-handler in the midfield for the team.
It can be said that the Allen team is already 9 to 11, the right fullback Bastuka has almost no strength, Du Yang is also exhausted, and as the game progresses, the physical strength of the Allen team players is declining rapidly.
Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, seem to be just getting started......
Michael Ballack dribbled the ball down the middle, shook off two Allen defenders in succession, and then shot with his feet!
Brush! The ball is like a cruise missile! Bang, alas, the ball hit the crossbar hard, and luck favored Allen again! God bless Alan!
Leverkusen's offensive came one after another, and when the first half of extra time was about to end, Leverkusen had a chance to change the game!
Ballack passed the ball into the box, Brodarich headed it over, and the Allen defenders were in no hurry to clear the ball! Neuville gets up on the almost goal-line! Bang! Neuville kicked the ball off the post! Oh my God, it's so much harder to kick this ball than it is to kick it! However, Neuville didn't kick in?
Bayer Arena, a choked sigh......
The game continued, and in the second half of extra time, Bayer Leverkusen was still trying to settle the battle in 120 minutes! After all, when it comes to penalty shootouts, it's not about strength.
Maybe God bless Allen, in the second half of extra time, Bayer Leverkusen got another good chance!
Neuville dodged Allen's defenders in the penalty area in succession, and in the face of the attacking Stanley, Neuville also flashed over, this time - empty goal!
Swish! Just as Neuville was about to get to his feet, a pair of white and tender thighs shoveled the ball at his feet.
Bastuka! He dragged his already cramped legs and miraculously completed this tackle! God bless Alan!
In the anticipation of more than 20,000 fans at Bayer Stadium, Bayer Leverkusen was unable to settle the battle within 120 minutes, and the players of LR Allen dragged the game into a penalty shootout!
"They really did it......" German national television, Conseca's mood at the moment is beyond words, it is a lasting shock.
At Bayer Stadium, more than 20,000 Bayer Leverkusen fans have been impressed by Allen's small club in the same state as them countless times today. It's a team with a soul of its own......
……
In five minutes, the penalty shoot-out will begin, and at the moment the elder Hield is in full swing arranging the order of the penalty shoot-out.
"Coach, please don't arrange for me to take a penalty." Du Yang said like old Hilde. There are two reasons why Du Yang doesn't want to take a penalty, the first is because he can't run anymore and has no strength, and the second is because Du Yang's ability to take a penalty is only 9, which is not an ability value that can guarantee the ball to be kicked in. Therefore, after weighing it repeatedly, Du Yang chose to give up the penalty.
Looking at Du Yang's sincere eyes, Old Heard nodded.
In fact, today for Allen, winning or losing is no longer so important, so when it comes to penalty kicks, Allen's players are still relatively relaxed.
Compared to Allen's players, Bayer Leverkusen's players are a little nervous. After all, they are the strong side, and if they capsize in the gutter of their home stadium, it will be too shameless, not to mention that they were chased back by Allen all the way with a 3-0 lead, in this case, the loss is really a cup......
It's time! The captains of both sides walked up to the referee, and after a coin toss, Allen was given the choice between the court and the penalty kick, and Kruca didn't hesitate to take the free throw. Just kidding, today's home stadium is Bayer Leverkusen's, which goal is not the same?
It was a clear advantage to take the penalty later, as it would allow Allen to wait and see what happened to Bayer Leverkusen. However, there is also a disadvantage to the penalty kick after the penalty, if the penalty taken by the opponent is decisively scored, then the side that takes the penalty will definitely carry the burden in their hearts.
Bayer Leverkusen was the first to reach 12 yards by Ballack, who took a deep breath and took it in stride! Bang, the ball is very powerful, Allen's goalkeeper Stanley fails to judge, and the ball is accurately penalized!
1-0, Bayer Leverkusen temporarily leads.
After Ballack's penalty, Kruska went up 12 yards, and the determined Allen captain also made the penalty accurately.
"The Germans are so calm ......when they take penalties", Du Yang couldn't help but sigh, is every German a natural penalty taker?
The score was 1-1, and Leverkusen's second appearance was Lucio, and the central defender was allowed to take the penalty, which represented Topmüller's trust in Lucio's footwork.
Run up! Knock on the door! Profound...... Lucio's penalty was actually shot high! Allen's players were boiling, and the team's goalkeeper Stanley was also pointing to the sky.
The opportunity came, and Turis, who was the second player of the Allen team, did not miss the opportunity! 2 to 1, Team Allen is ahead!
The third to play for Bayer Leverkusen was Brazilian Ze Roberto......
Run, raise your feet and shoot angrily! God, could it be that Team Allen really had shit luck today? The Brazilian kicked the ball away again! Lucio and Ze Roberto are both cupped!
Old Heard clenched his fist excitedly, and every Allen fan was extremely excited.
Swish! Pangerovica's penalty was unmistakable! 3 to 1!
Then, if Stanley can save Neuville's penalty, then it's all over!
Neuville Launch! Shot! The whole action was done in one go, and he chose the bottom left corner of the goal......
Bang! Stanley saves Neuville's penalty!
Alan wins!
Top 8! Alan is here!
