There is strictly no rest time between the first and second halves of overtime, but in order to take care of the players on both sides, they are also given a short adjustment time. Using this time, some players quickly replenished their fluids, and some players have even begun to appear.

They had cramps. At this time, the team doctor also came over quickly and started stretching exercises for them.

The two sides exchanged the playing field, and the second half of overtime began, but it still continued the rhythm of the first half of overtime. Maybe the Nigerian team was also mentally prepared for a penalty shootout.

However, things were obviously not as simple as imagined. In the 112th minute of the game, Li Hailong received a second yellow card for a stepping foul during the scramble with an opponent's player. As a result, two yellow cards turned into one red, and the referee on duty was

Sent off.

This unexpected result was undoubtedly a big blow to the C national team, and they had to adjust their strategic plan to a comprehensive defense. Even several offensive players such as Li Zhao were not allowed to devote themselves to full defense.

Fortunately, there are only eight minutes left before the end of the second half of overtime, so there is still great hope of persevering.

In the 117th minute of the game, the Nigeria team won a well-positioned free kick. This free kick was also well played. If it were not for the outstanding performance of the C national team goalkeeper Dana, who timely pushed the ball out of the baseline, the score would have been

May have been rewritten again.

Finally, after struggling to survive the remaining 3 minutes, the two sides officially began preparations for a penalty shootout.

"Although we have played overtime several times before, this is definitely the first time we have played a penalty shootout!" Wang Ziyi said.

"Yes, I used to think about solving the problem during regular time or overtime at most." Li Zhao said.

"Brother Zhao, to be honest, the reason why you have such an idea is because you are a little afraid of taking penalty kicks!" Zhang Yuning suddenly asked.

"No way. It's only eleven yards away. The ones farther away have all been hit. Can the ones that are in hit still be missed?" Li Zhao concealed it somewhat unnaturally.

"Just brag. I've seen you secretly practice penalty kicks with Dana several times. If you really think you're in trouble, just switch to someone else." Zhang Yuning exposed him directly.

"How can that be done? I am the captain and I must set an example. If I hide behind, what will others think of me?" Li Zhaodao.

"But it wouldn't be worse if it messed up." Zhang Yuning said again.

"You're not done yet, are you? Stop talking nonsense like a crow, or else I'll tear you apart." Wang Ziyi said at this time.

Although the team members talked a lot, it was the first time for a penalty shootout, so there was no result in the end. In the end, Su Maozhen discussed with the coaches and came up with a more reliable order. The players who took the penalty kick were

Selected from the 11 players on the field, players who have been substituted previously are not eligible for selection.

"Coach, can you change my order? I don't want to be the last one." Li Zhao objected.

"It's okay. I believe in your ability. You should be able to do the finale." Su Maozhen had no intention of changing.

Li Zhao had no choice about this. The reason why he didn't want to be the last one was because he didn't have enough confidence in himself, and the further the penalty shootout went, the greater the pressure he had to play.

The first person to take a penalty kick was Nigeria's Avaliyi who scored the first goal today. After putting the ball on the penalty spot, he didn't hesitate too much and scored the goal neatly. Although Dana judged

He went in the right direction and hit the edge of the ball, but because of the short distance and fast shooting speed, he still couldn't intercept it.

0-1, Nigeria took the lead.

The first person to play for the C national team was Wang Ziyi. Although he is not as good as Li Zhao technically, his stability in some aspects is better. And as the second person in the team today, Pai

He came to lead the attack, which also had the effect of stabilizing the morale of the army. As expected, Wang Ziyi did not disappoint everyone's expectations. He hit the goal with such force that the goalkeeper ended the game without making any move.

1-1, the C national team responded immediately.

The second player of the Nigeria team is Okon, who scored the second goal today. From this, we can judge that the order of their top three appearances today is also the order of scoring goals. And Okon is also very stable.

A spoon ball deceived the goalkeeper of the C national team.

1-2, Nigeria took the lead again.

The second player of Team C was the former captain Zhang Xiuwei. After taking a deep breath, he ran towards the ball and hit the lower corner on the right side.

2-2, the two teams are back on the same starting line.

The third player of the Nigeria team is indeed their top scorer Iheanacho. What’s interesting is that he has already kicked a penalty kick before. Facing the same goalkeeper, I don’t know what the result will be this time. Whistle

After the sound, he glanced at Dyna, and then chose the upper left corner. But Dyna seemed to know his thoughts. This time the block was in place and he successfully intercepted the opponent's incoming ball. Last time

He failed to stop the opponent's ball, but this time he successfully did it.

The players and coach were also relieved, and secretly happy. Although the score remained unchanged, in fact, the C national team had established an advantage. As long as the next player on the field performed normally and scored this goal.

, the pressure will be on the other side.

"Aning, come on!" Li Zhao said to Zhang Yuning.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem. I will make sure he can't catch my ball." Zhang Yuning said confidently.

The third person to come on the field was Zhang Yuning. He acted very free and easy, and even glanced at the opponent's goalkeeper from time to time. When the referee's whistle sounded, Zhang Yuning's ball also flew towards the upper left corner, but unfortunately it failed.

It was a slight difference but a thousand miles away. Although the difference was only a little, it was still off the mark. At this time, he no longer had the energy as before. Knowing that his mistake ruined the good situation, he fell down with a depressed look on his face.

"It's okay, Aning. There will be a chance later. You are right. He didn't catch your ball either!" Wang Ziyi consoled him.

"Are you comforting me or burying me? Are you talking like that?" Zhang Yuning said sadly.

The score is still 2-2, and neither side scored in this round of competition.

In some respects, the goalkeeper has an advantage in the penalty shootout because he does not have to consider too many other factors, let alone worry about the opponent's follow-up shot, and can focus entirely on goalkeeping. Naturally,

Your attention will be more concentrated and you will be more relaxed in your actions.

Next, the fourth member of the Nigerian team is Musa Yahaya. He is also the player with the most goals in the team after Iheanacho and Avaliyi. I have to say that these players in their team

All players are of good strength, and their psychological quality is also very good. Musa Yahaya, like the previous ones, is very decisive when shooting. Such offensive players are also more troublesome for goalkeepers. In the end, Dana

Still failed to block his shot, allowing the opponent to score points again.

3-4, Team C was once again led by the opponent.

"Xiaohang, it's up to you!" Zhang Yuning patted Hu Jinghang on the shoulder and said.

The fourth member of the C national team to play was Hu Jinghang. Yang Liyu was originally more suitable than him in terms of ability, but he was replaced at the beginning of the second half and therefore lost the opportunity to play.

Hu Jinghang made a change of rhythm in the middle of the run and successfully tricked the goalkeeper into starting. However, luck was not on his side. The shot from the center was unexpectedly blocked by the goalkeeper's outstretched foot when he fell to the ground.

Blocked out.

After guarding the goal twice in a row, Nigeria team's goalkeeper Okan Brooklawan also made a big contribution today, so he was also a little excited.

It’s still 3-4, but this time the pressure is on Team C. They need to block the opponent’s shot in the next round and score another penalty goal to get back to the same starting line.

"Xiao Dai!" The team members looked at him one after another. Although there were no more words, the meaning was clear.
Chapter completed!
