The atmosphere suddenly changed. Everyone thought Manchester United was going to win the championship.
As a result, in the final stoppage time, The Hague miraculously equalized the score.
This was something no one expected, and it looked too much like the script.
When the goal was scored, all Manchester United players showed blank expressions.
We were all prepared for victory, but ended up being forced to a draw.
This was a huge blow to them, and their mentality changed.
The stoppage time ended quickly, and the two sides ended up tied 1-1 in regular time.
Now that the physical fitness of both sides is affected, the side with more perseverance will be in an advantage.
In the subsequent overtime, although the physical fitness of both teams was average, Xue Yang made two consecutive substitutions in the overtime.
First, he replaced Chinese midfielder Yin Chengjie and replaced him with Dutch central midfielder Kopmeiners.
In fact, the two of them have similar abilities, but Yin Chengjie's physical fitness has bottomed out.
He really worked hard in the previous game, so Xue Yang replaced him.
In the last few minutes of overtime, Xue Yang replaced midfielder Endidi.
Then he replaced striker Allais, who finally came on as a substitute.
But Alai couldn't feel happy because it was only a few minutes before the end.
It felt like Xue Yang let him come on as a substitute more for the final penalty shootout.
How could this Alai be happy? Although it was only for a few minutes, Alai still wanted to express himself.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain and the two sides ended up drawing 1-1.
The game was dragged into a penalty shootout!
"The overtime is over! The two sides are still tied 1-1!" He Wei explained the game.
"The game entered a brutal penalty shootout. I didn't expect that today's game would be so anxious."
Xue Yang was actually not very happy when the penalty shootout entered, because Manchester United had a greater advantage in the penalty shootout.
After all, their goalkeeper is De Gea, and The Hague's goalkeeper Ruyter is indeed far behind.
At this time, fans from both sides were anxiously waiting for the next penalty shootout.
Manchester United fans must be unhappy. They could have won the championship directly if they were defeated.
It's really hard to say in the penalty shootout now. The Hague has hope of beating Manchester United.
Xue Yang worked hard to calm down the players' mentality, so there should be no psychological burden on the final penalty kick.
The captains of both teams came to the referee team and decided the penalty goal and the order of penalty kicks by tossing a coin.
The Hague was the first to take a penalty kick, and of course Xu Qiang was the first person to take the penalty kick.
Xu Qiang's performance was average at first today, but luckily he stood up later.
When many The Hague fans were already desperate, he stepped forward and assisted Yan Fangjun to score.
It has gained hope for The Hague. Without Xu Qiang, The Hague would have lost.
Xu Qiang slowly walked to the penalty spot and put the football on the ground.
De Gea looked at Xu Qiang in front of him with very calm eyes.
If it weren't for Xu Qiang, Manchester United would have won the championship.
Xu Qiang kicked the football after running up, and De Gea quickly jumped in to save it.
But he knew something was wrong when he was in the air, and the football flew over slowly.
Xu Qiang actually kicked a spoon penalty!
The football slowly fell towards the goal in a parabola.
De Gea looked at the football flying over and was helpless.
Next is Manchester United. The first penalty kick was taken by Mkhitaryan.
The Hague goalkeeper Ruyter stepped up. Ruyter knew his importance.
Whether The Hague can win the championship, what is most needed is for him to step up.
But he failed to save and Mkhitaryan made a steady hit.
Returning to The Hague side, the second penalty kick was handed over to Alai to take it.
At this time, Alai was not in such a good mood, and De Gea was not as stable as before.
The spoon penalty has some impact on the goalkeeper, even De Gea.
But he still tried hard to concentrate, hoping to save the penalty kick.
Alai and Xu Qiang have completely different styles. Alai chooses to explode vigorously.
The football flew directly to the upper right corner of the goal, and Alai also successfully hit it.
Here comes Manchester United again, this time the penalty winner is Rooney who comes off the bench.
Ruyter faced great pressure from superstar Rooney.
Ruit also failed to save the penalty kick, and both sides have hit all penalty kicks so far.
The third person to take a penalty kick in The Hague is De Jong. De Jong is too important to The Hague now.
De Jong, who can attack and defend, has performed perfectly this season and has been selected for the national team.
De Jong looked very calm when facing De Gea. After successfully deceiving De Gea, he sent the ball to the right.
Back to Manchester United, the person who took the penalty was Martial.
It is worth mentioning that Rashford has been replaced.
Rashford was a bit invisible today and Martial started to retreat.
Xue Yang stared at the goal and prayed in his heart.
He is so eager to win the Europa League. This is the first European championship.
Xue Yang's prayer actually worked. Although Ruyter did not pounce on the football, Martial actually kicked it away!
The ball flew straight out of the goal and The Hague took advantage.
When he saw Martial kicked away, although it was not Ruyter who pounced on him, he shouted excitedly.
All The Hague fans at the scene were shouting and cheering. In this anxious time, every penalty kick is too important.
The advantage comes to The Hague, and they may really win the championship.
The pressure on Manchester United suddenly increased, especially on goalkeeper De Gea.
The Manchester United fans at the scene were silent, they could not accept the reality.
The fourth person to take a penalty kick in The Hague was Danjuma. Danjuma was under less pressure.
Danjuma took a penalty to the right, and although De Gea pounced in the right direction, unfortunately he still couldn't make it.
Coming to Manchester United again, they must make a penalty kick.
Otherwise, The Hague had successfully won the championship and they would have finished second.
This ball was handed to Mata to take the penalty, and Mata was quite stable.
Steadyly scoring the penalty kick, just as Xue Yang expected, Ruit's penalty kick battle was really ordinary.
Next is the fifth player from The Hague. If he scores a penalty, he will be the champion.
If the free throw is missed, the advantage disappears instantly and the game returns to suspense.
This penalty kick was given to Yan Fangjun. Although Yan Fangjun joined The Hague not long ago, his strength has been recognized.
At this time, goalkeeper De Gea was under so much pressure that everyone held their breath.
Waiting for this penalty kick, Yan Fangjun was not under so much pressure.
Yan Fangjun started running!
Penalty kick!
Goalkeeper De Gea rushed to save, but once again he missed the penalty kick.
You really can't blame him for this ball, because Yan Fangjun's penalty angle was too tricky, and it can be said that he hit the ball into a blind corner.
The game is over!
With the final penalty shootout, The Hague miraculously defeated Manchester United!
Winning the Europa League in the 2016/2017 season was the second key to The Hague this season.
This is also the first European championship that Xue Yang won after coming to The Hague!
