After the game entered a tug-of-war, although both sides had opportunities, overall, Leverkusen had the upper hand. After all, they were ahead of the score, and both mentality and morale would be better than Dortmund.

But Dortmund is also very tenacious.

In the 28th minute, when Yan Min broke through on the left side, he first made a move toward the bottom line, but suddenly he cut in.

Leverkusen defender Roberto Hilbert, who was defending him, wanted to turn around and intercept, so he had to pull Yan Min down.

Dortmund won a free kick on the left side of the penalty area.

Reus is not here, and Shahin takes the free kick.

Dortmund's central defender ran to the opponent's goal, which was like a corner kick with a shorter distance and a larger angle.

Then Shahin drove the ball out and headed straight for the goal.

During this process, Groskreuz flew forward against the football, then jumped up and headed the ball backwards!

He rubbed the football towards the goal!

The header was suddenly too hidden. Goalkeeper Leno was disturbed by his sight. When the football flew over, although he made a save move, it was too late...

The football flew into Leverkusen's goal!

"Groskreuz!!" Marcel Lef shouted excitedly, "Groskreuz, he equalized the score for Dortmund! The tenacious Dortmund! They are not willing to admit defeat on the away game!"

As soon as Groskreuz scored, Klopp jumped up and shouted.

Zhou Yi rushed out of the seat with excitement. Since he played as the main player at Dortmund, he has experienced fewer and fewer experiences of not entering the starting lineup like this and can only sit on the bench to watch the game...

In the past, when teams scored goals, he would hug and celebrate with his teammates on the court, but now he can only cheer with his substitute teammates.

However, Zhou Yi didn't care about this. He only cared about the team's performance. Seeing Dortmund equalized the score, he was happy for the team.

※※※

But Zhou Yi was not happy for long. In the 34th minute, Leverkusen made a quick counterattack and passed it directly to the frontcourt.

Kislin headed the ball in the frontcourt and gave Son Heung-min a diagonal cut.

Son Heung-min used his right foot to smooth the ball, and then dribbled the ball into Dortmund's penalty area.

Facing two defensive players from Dortmund, Son Heung-min noticed Brandt who was inserted on the right side, so he dribbled sideways to continue to attract Dortmund's defensive attention, and at the same time allowed Brandt to insert it.

At the right time, he passed the ball straight to Brandt.

At the same time, Dortmund's defenders also desperately returned to defense, ran towards Brandt, blocking his shot.

But Brandt did not shoot, he didn't even stop the ball, and directly passed the football to the back point!

The football passed through the air and flew to the space behind.

Castro inserted in the back, and faced the ball from Brandt, he chose to head the ball directly!

The football passed by Weidenfeller, who was rushing back, and Weidenfeller rushed to the near corner, but the football flew into the far corner of the goal from his feet...

"Castro!! Leverkusen took the lead again! Five minutes after Dortmund equalized the score, Leverkusen scored another goal! It seems that Leverkusen is bound to win in this game! They must win!" Marcel Leff said. "In addition, at this time, I don't know if Bayern Munich is paying attention to this game..."

※※※

Of course, Bayern Munich was paying attention to this game. After the bus arrived at the hotel, Bayern Munich's coaching staff quickly got into the office of head coach Guardiola.

When Dortmund equalized the score, the atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing.

Fortunately, Leverkusen was successful and quickly equalized the score.

The atmosphere in the room has been much easier and relaxed, and everyone can chat.

"This cooperation is beautiful..."

"Yes, yes, Brandt's direct cross was crucial, completely caught the Dortmund defenders off guard!"

Everyone replayed the goal and analyzed the goal, just like a commentator.

"I wonder if Klopp regrets letting Zhou Yi sit on the bench..." Someone sighed.

At this moment, the TV broadcast also gave Zhou Yi a close-up shot.

Zhou Yi in the camera sat in his position, expressionless.

He could not see his inner thoughts at all.

This disappointed those who wanted to see him anxiously.

※※※

He lost the ball again just as he equalized the score, which of course would have a blow to Dortmund.

But Dortmund's players were not scared by this blow.

They still remember how Klopp said to them before the game: "...In my opinion, no one is an indispensable person in the team, because all of you are indispensable! We are a whole, and we can win the league championship for three consecutive seasons and win the Champions League, not relying on one person, but unity. So I made some adjustments to the squad in this game, which means I look down on Leverkusen, and it is not that I want to give up the league. Because I believe you, you are also Dortmund players!"

These words gave Dortmund players great confidence and fighting spirit.

Zhou Yi is of course the core of the team, but as the coach said, they are also Dortmund players, and they have also put in hard work and sweat for the Dortmund championship.

If Zhou Yi is the most shining figure at the top of the pyramid, then they are the cornerstone of the pyramid. Without them, the pyramid would not exist at all. What's the use of shining more?

This game is a chance for them to prove themselves.

Zhou Yi did not start. If they really let Leverkusen suppress it, wouldn’t that mean that everyone except Zhou Yi is useless?

Thinking of this, Dortmund, who was behind, fought even harder.

In the 37th minute, Yan Min switched to the right to make a cross, and he passed the football to Leverkusen's penalty area.

Mark jumped up in the penalty area to grab the landing point, and the person who competed with him was Leverkusen's defender Hilbert.

But when Hilbert jumped up to fight for the top, he raised his arm. It was this raised arm that hit the flying football!

"Handball!" Duan Xin shouted.

At the same time, Mkhitaryan, who was next to him, raised his arms and signaled Hilbert to handball!

This handball is very obvious and there is no obstruction nearby. The referee is right next to him and can be seen at a glance.

He immediately whistled and paused the game.

"Hilbert's handball was playing for the top... Is this a penalty?" Marcel Leif was not sure yet, and saw the referee pointing his hand at the penalty point. "Yes, it's a penalty! Dortmund got a penalty! Three minutes after being scored by Leverkusen, Dortmund got a penalty! This luck is so good!"

Hilbert defended himself: "This is a ball thug, I didn't mean it..."

The referee made a move to open his arms and signaled that his arms had just been opened. This is a very critical basis for punishment. If he clamped his hands, even if the ball hits his hands, he would not be awarded a penalty, because the practice of clamping his arms can be said to be an important evidence that the player does not have any penalty. This is also why many players will hold their hands behind their backs when defending the ball. Although it is difficult to maintain balance, at least there will be no situation where the arms are raised and balanced, and they will be hit by the football, and the result will be awarded a penalty...

The slow motion is also reproduced from multiple angles, proving that the referee's penalty is correct.

If Hilbert's move does not touch the football, then Mark will hit the football. He hit the football near the penalty point, which will pose a great threat to Leverkusen's goal.

Hilbert's handball was too obvious to argue.

Although the Leverkusen players were a little depressed, they could not reverse the case.

I can only accept this penalty.

However, the Dortmund players were a little reluctant. Mark found the referee, hoping to give Hilbert another yellow card.

But the referee shook his head and refused the request.

It wasn't originally considered a handball intentional one. It would be great to give a penalty, and it would be too much to ask for a yellow card...

The penalty scored by Dortmund was handed over to Mark to take the penalty. He now scored seventeen league goals, just one goal away from Lewandowski, the first scorer list.

Mark, who was posing for football, waited for the referee to blew the whistle.

Then he started running. When he was playing football, his toes were slightly upturned, and the football was picked up by him!

Leverkusen's goalkeeper Leno rushed to the right, but Mark kicked a spoon penalty kick!

The football drew a parabola and flew into the goal from the middle Lions!

"Mark! Mark!!! Beautiful spoon penalty! He tied the score for Dortmund again! This is also his eighteenth league goal this season! He tied Lewandowski, and the two of them were on the league scorer list!"
