After the game restarted, Dortmund followed the coach's instructions and the entire team pressed forward and attacked, hoping to use the few minutes before the end of the first half to score a goal.
However, there was too little time left for the Hornets in the first half. In the end, Dortmund failed to score as they wished. The two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 2-0. Atletico Madrid temporarily took the lead by two goals with Joan Chen's brace.
After a 15-minute intermission, the two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half. The weather did not improve much and everyone still had to compete in heavy rain and mud.
Following Simeone's instructions in the locker room during halftime, Falcao and Adrian also entered the penalty area more often to participate in the aerial battle.
Falcao has advantages in running, jumping, and heading skills, and Adrian has a height advantage, so he can participate in aerial battles.
Qiao Anchen and Alda Turan, including the two full-backs, made more passes from the wing to provide cannonballs for Diego Costa and others.
I don’t know if it’s because of the away game, but Dortmund didn’t have much luck in this game.
They actually created several threatening attacks, but failed to score in the end. The closest one came to a goal was when Alda Turan made a passing error in the 58th minute. Dortmund made a quick counterattack, and finally Lewandowski
Dowski received a wonderful pass from his teammate and successfully countered offside. His low shot had already avoided the interception of goalkeeper Courtois and rolled towards the goal. Lewandowski had already turned around and started running wildly to celebrate the goal.
As a result, when the ball rolled to a place more than one meter in front of the goal, it actually got stuck in the mud and stopped rolling forward. Courtois, who was chasing after him, picked up the ball.
The commentators were also shocked by this:
"Lewandowski!"
"Single sword!"
"Shoot!!!"
"gooooal...uh"
"The ball stopped?"
"The ground ball kicked by Lewandowski avoided Courtois' save, but it got stuck in the mud and stopped when it was about to roll into the goal."
"Levan and Dot are so unlucky!"
At the scene, Lewandowski, who had been running wildly for a while, looked at the laughing Atletico fans in the stands, and suddenly realized that something was wrong. He turned around and saw the ball stopping in front of the goal, and Kurtu was being defended.
The scene of Wa hugging her up.
A group of "Cao Nima" floated over Laiwan's head, and he suddenly felt bad.
Dortmund coach Klopp on the sidelines also encountered the same predicament as Lewandowski. He excitedly punched the stands twice in celebration and then heard the voices of Atletico Madrid fans in the stands changing from exclamations and sighs to laughter. He also realized that
Unfortunately, when I turned around, I found that Lewandowski's shot had stopped in front of the goal.
The goal didn't go in.
Klopp also had a good meal, but he had no choice but to watch Atletico Madrid helplessly restart the game through the goalkeeper's hand.
I can't help it, sometimes I just have such bad luck on the court.
You have made all your efforts, but in the end, Lady Luck is not on your side, and the ball has avoided the goalkeeper and stopped in front of the goal.
What can you do?
Atletico Madrid, which had escaped the disaster, was naturally relieved and at the same time, its morale was even higher.
With such luck, wouldn't it be a waste if we don't score another goal and expand the score?
It turns out that luck is really on Atletico Madrid's side today.
Less than ten minutes later, in the 65th minute, Atletico Madrid grabbed the ball in the midfield and immediately launched a counterattack. After taking the ball, Qiao Anchen attracted the attention of three players and passed the ball out in time.
Then, after two more passes, the ball was passed to Falcao who rushed into the left rib of the penalty area.
Falcao did not stop the ball and volleyed the ball to the far corner.
But in fact Falcao's shooting angle was not very tricky, and goalkeeper Weidenfeller's save seemed to have a high probability of saving the ball.
However, Dortmund center back Subotic, who got rid of Diego Costa in the middle and rushed to cover the defense, did not know that the ball was not a big threat to the goalkeeper. He did not have time to observe and confirm the goalkeeper's saving action. He just relied on his own
After seeing Falcao raising his foot to shoot, he immediately threw his whole body out and blocked the hole with a flying shovel.
His action of blocking the hole of the gun successfully touched the ball, but it was worse than not touching the ball.
The ball hit the upper part of his shoveling shoe, bounced upwards, but did not bounce much. It just passed the head of Weidenfeller who flew to save, and then fell against the lower edge of the crossbar into the goal.
Dortmund center back Subotic scored an own goal and scored with a "lob shot", lofting the ball past the goalkeeper and into his own goal.
Atletico Madrid leads 3-0.
Although the goal ended up being an own goal for Subotic and not for Falcao, everyone still excitedly rushed to Falcao, hugged him and celebrated.
With a total score of 3-0, although it cannot be said that we will definitely advance to the semi-finals, the probability has reached more than 80%. As long as we can withstand Dortmund's attack in the next time, prevent them from narrowing the score, and win the away game.
In the second round when Atletico Madrid is a guest at the Westfalenstadion, they only need to score one goal to occupy the away goal advantage, and 99% of the time they will advance.
Dortmund also knew their situation, so they launched a more powerful counterattack in the following time, trying to score goals. Even if they don't equalize the score, multiple away goals would be good!
But Simeone immediately made substitution adjustments, removing Arda Turan and Adrian, who are more offensively capable, and replacing them with Thiago and Mario Suarez, who are more defensively capable, to strengthen defense.
Dortmund's crazy attack has been unable to achieve results under the strong defense of Atletico Madrid. Instead, Atletico Madrid made a quick counterattack after stealing the ball in the 87th minute, and the ball was kicked by center back Diego Godin.
Opened to the front court.
Qiao Anchen, who had returned to his own half of the defense, saw this and immediately turned around and rushed towards the spot where the ball landed.
The last two Dortmund defenders, Schmelzer and Felipe Santana, who were dragged near the center circle, also changed their expressions. They turned around and chased back, trying to block Joanchen.
But after all, the speed of the two could not match that of Qiao Anchen. Qiao Anchen used his unparalleled speed to complete the overtake shortly after entering Dortmund's half, and was the first to catch the ball after it landed, and headed straight for the penalty area.
An anti-offside single-handed ball in an extreme speed competition.
Schmelzer and Santana chased after him desperately, but to no avail. Qiao Anchen, who dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area, faced Weidenfeller who had already entered the penalty area. He easily lobbed the ball over.
His head was sent into Dortmund's goal.
Qiao Anchen scored a hat trick, helping Atletico Madrid expand the total score to 4-0, basically killing the suspense of the second round.
