Chapter 264 Advance to the UEFA Cup Finals
Seeing Lu Wenbin's world wave flying into the goal, the commentator Dickenson stood up from the commentary stand and let out a long roar: "Toooooooooooooooooooooor..."
After roaring for more than ten seconds, Dickenson stopped, changed his breath and continued to explain:
"In the 33rd minute, Lu succeeded in anti-offside and scored a long-range goal from outside the penalty area to equalize the score for Hoffenheim. And the total score became 5-2, Hoffenheim. Continuing to lead by 3 goals and leveling 1 away goal of Hamburg, it is very difficult for Hamburg to come back!"
Indeed, Lu Wenbin's goal made the Hamburgers feel desperate.
Next, even if the Hamburg team equalizes the total score, it can only enter overtime. Moreover, can not let Hoffenheim score again.
If Hoffenheim scores another goal, it will be a top two away goal, and then there is no hope for the Hamburg team.
But the aggregate score, 2-5 behind, left the Hamburg team with no choice.
They can only continue to increase their offensive efforts. Even De Jong sometimes leaves Lu Wenbin behind and goes to the midfield to assist in assists.
In the 36th minute, Hamburg Olic had a shot that was close at hand on the line of the small penalty area, but the ball hit the corner of Ozjan and popped the bottom line, which made Olic unable to help but feel annoyed.
In the 40th minute, the Hamburg team also got a single-handed opportunity. As a result, Guerrero, who had rushed the ball into the penalty area and was about to shoot, was shoveled by Nilsson from a sliding tackle next to him, and brought Poured Guerrero.
The players of the Hamburg team gathered around the referee to take a penalty, but the referee shook his head firmly, saying that Nilsson's tackle was clean and he tackled the ball first, without any fouls.
The players in Hamburg could only continue to play and continue to attack.
However, Hoffenheim's back line with Nilsson's return was very solid, and there were no low-level mistakes. With the excellent performance of goalkeeper Ozcan, until the end of the first half, the Hamburg team failed to score another goal.
The two sides entered the intermission with a score of 1-1. The Hoffenheim team had a relaxed expression, while the Hamburg team had a heavy face.
During the intermission, the commentators, reporters and fans of various TV stations agreed that the Hamburg team could not come back.
In the face of Hoffenheim, who has a nuclear weapon like Lu Wenbin, he has to score three goals himself without letting Hoffenheim score.
almost impossible.
After a 15-minute rest, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
The Hamburg team still wants to continue scoring to tie the game, even in overtime.
However, the score behind three goals forced them to increase their offensive efforts, and the defense also exposed more gaps and loopholes.
Hamburg itself attacked for more than ten minutes without scoring a goal, but Hoffenheim scored again.
In the 58th minute, Hoffenheim attacked, but Lu Wenbin did not participate. Instead, he took De Jong and central defender Boateng away from the penalty area, leaving Eduardo with a gap in the middle.
Eduardo made a two-for-one match with Pargic at the front of the penalty area and then entered the penalty area. He made a fake shot and a real pass to shake the remaining defenders and the goalkeeper and then passed the ball to the goalkeeper. On the corner of the small restricted area.
The full-back Baker, who was inserted in the back row and unmarked, rushed into the penalty area, shot the ball in the corner of the small penalty area, and kicked the ball into the goal in one fell swoop.
Goalkeeper Rost, who was shaken by Eduardo, couldn't catch him and could only watch the ball in despair.
Then, the referee circled his fingers and blew the whistle that the goal was effective!
This is definitely a goal to kill the suspense of the game!
Therefore, when Baker kicked the ball into the goal, he turned around in ecstasy and rushed to the sidelines, and there was a fierce kneeling celebration.
However, his posture was not mastered properly, he lost his balance and fell to the ground when he slipped halfway.
The various TV commentators on the commentary stand announced the death of the Hamburg team together, and it must be Hoffenheim who advanced to the final.
With Hoffenheim scoring a second away goal and Hamburg only one away, extra time and penalty shootouts will not exist in this semi-final, which will surely be won in 90 minutes burden.
Even adding stoppage time, there are only 30 minutes until the end of the game.
With a total score of 6-2, Hoffenheim leads Hamburg by 4 goals, and Hoffenheim has two away goals, while Hamburg has only one.
So for Hamburg to knock out Hoffenheim, they must score five goals in the remaining 30 minutes to do so.
Hamburg may be able to play an amateur team, but it is definitely impossible to play Hoffenheim, the Bundesliga number one.
Looking at the score and the remaining time, not only the reporters and commentators, but also the players and fans of the Hamburg team gave up.
The players stared blankly at the Hoffenheim players who were celebrating, and did not stand up to protest Hoffenheim's long celebration.
The home fans of the Hamburg team in the stands were also silent, no boos, no cheers, only thousands of fans of the Hoffenheim away team who came with the team jumped and jumped in the corners, like a festival.
In the end, the referee couldn't see it, and stepped forward to remind the players at Hoffenheim that it was time to end the celebration and start the game again. Lu Wenbin and others returned to their own half to let the Hamburg team kick off again.
Baker's ball completely shattered the hopes of everyone in the Hamburg team, and everyone became listless after the restart of the game.
Even if he dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he hurriedly ended the offense with a long shot, and he had no desire to organize the offense well and equalize the score.
Seeing this, Ralph replaced both Lu Wenbin and Salihovic to prepare for the next league championship.
On the side of the Hamburg team, head coach Joel also knows that under the current situation, even if he is struggling to score two goals, it will be useless. It is better to stay for the league.
Therefore, Joel also began to make substitutions, and changed two main players in a row to stay in the league for the qualification for next season's European competition.
In the next few minutes, the Hamburg team had no desire to fight, and Hoffenheim did not want to push too hard, so everyone tacitly dragged the time to the end of 90 minutes.
Then, without giving a minute of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
Hoffenheim advanced to the final of the last UEFA Cup with a 2-1 away game and a 6-2 aggregate score in the two rounds, beating fellow country rivals Hamburg.
Hoffenheim and Shakhtar Donetsk will compete for the final UEFA Cup title on May 20 at the Salajaglu Stadium in Istanbul, home of Fenerbahce.
