Chapter 207: The Second Half

Because of the weather, plus it was an away game.

So Sevilla didn't play very well and couldn't find any opportunities.

Fortunately, the defense was okay and did not give Athletic Bilbao any chance.

The game was relatively dull, and neither side had much chance.

It didn't even hit the goal with a few kicks. If it was a neutral fan, they might have changed the channel at this time.

But the fans of both sides are still cheering for their teams, after all, both sides attach great importance to the Europa League.

In the end, the first half of the game was over, and the two sides temporarily 0-0.

The players from both sides returned to their respective dressing rooms, where Unai Emery was relatively calm.

Overall, Sevilla's performance is quite satisfactory, and the only thing that worries him may be Lu Yunlong.

There is no doubt about Lu Yunlong's role in Sevilla, and he is definitely the core of Sevilla's offense now.

He needs to think about how to liberate Lu Yunlong. If Lu Yunlong is liberated, Sevilla's offensive end will become stronger.

As for Lu Yunlong, he is more or less used to it. He often encounters this kind of treatment in La Liga.

Because of his excellent performance in the last two seasons, Lu Yunlong is very famous in Spain.

Soon the second half of the game began, and players from both sides returned to the court one after another.

Players from both sides changed sides to fight again, but just after the start of the second half, Athletic Bilbao launched an attack.

San Jose picked a pass and passed the football to the right side of the penalty area.

Facing the flying football, forward Aduriz first stopped with his chest.

Then I noticed the full-back DeMarcos on the right. DeMarcos was wearing the No. 10 jersey as a full-back.

It's because he's right-handed, he can play from right back to right winger.

DeMarcos received the pass and Tremullinas hurried forward to defend.

But De Marcos was very decisive, he directly chose the cross.

The football flew into the penalty area,

Three Sevilla defenders on the football path.

However, DeMarcos' passing quality is very high, and the height is just beyond his reach.

In this way, the football flew to the back point strangely, and Aduriz, who had passed the ball before.

After judging the landing point of the football, he moved backwards and diagonally.

Fortunately, Lamy noticed him, and he immediately defended DeMarcos.

But he was still a little slower, and saw DeMarcos head towards the falling football.

Today Sevilla started Soria, who is the team's substitute goalkeeper.

He only played three games this season. Emery had no choice but to start Soria.

The main goalkeeper has just returned from injury and is in very poor condition.

Soria cherishes the rare opportunity to play, so his attention has been very focused.

But such a close-range header, he is powerless.

The football was pushed into the goal by Aduriz and hit the net hard.

Athletic Bilbao leads Sevilla 1-0!

"The goal was scored! I didn't expect Athletic Bilbao to score first!" Shao Sheng explained.

"The cross was delivered so well and Aduriz's movement was very good."

"Then it's Sevilla's turn to have a headache, and the team is currently one goal behind."

"But this is the first leg after all, and it's Athletic Bilbao's home game today."

"So there's the possibility of not making changes and going back to my home ground."

"Or make a quick change and try to equalize away from home."

And Emery obviously chose the second option. He hurriedly rewarded his nearest players for calling over, and then arranged the next tactical change.

The fans of Athletic Bilbao on the scene celebrated the goal excitedly.

As if today's game had been won by them, Aduriz celebrated happily after scoring the goal.

The last time the two teams met, Sevilla had the last laugh.

He had a vengeful thrill, and he flung his arms toward the sidelines.

Teammates rushed over quickly one after another, and everyone was very excited.

On the other hand, the players of Sevilla looked very solemn.

Especially for several defensive players, the previous pass directly penetrated their defensive end.

Although Sevilla fell behind, the morale of the team did not slump.

Sevilla then stepped up its offense and began to attack Athletic Bilbao's defense frequently.

It also strengthened the pressing in the frontcourt, and the sudden increase in intensity made the Athletic Bilbao players very uncomfortable.

Unknowingly, the time came to the 56th minute, and Athletic Bilbao fell in their own half.

But the pass was wrong and was successfully intercepted by Banega.

After Banega stepped on the football, he sent a long pass directly forward.

His first choice was of course Lu Yunlong, and the football flew to the right outside the penalty area.

However, some players kept staring at Lu Yunlong, and Balenciaga followed up and got the football first.

Lu Yunlong thought that this attack was gone again, it was just a symbolic grab.

But what Lu Yunlong didn't expect was that Balenciaga didn't stop the ball well.

The football bounced again, and Balenciaga reacted very quickly, hitting the football at the first time.

Want to hit the football to the goalkeeper, but the power is too small.

This surprised Lu Yunlong, and he quickly chased after the football.

All the Athletic Bilbao players were taken aback when Lu Yunlong really caught up with the football.

They didn't expect such a thing to happen, such a mistake in their own defense.

Goalkeeper Erelin hurried up to meet him, trying to block Lu Yunlong's shot.

But he didn't expect that Lu Yunlong didn't choose to hit the door.

Instead, he selflessly kicked the football to the goal and passed it to his teammates.

What Cai Jian didn't expect was that it wasn't striker Gameiro standing in front of the goal.

It turned out to be the central defender Kolozesak, who pushed forward the passing football.

And the goalkeeper Erelin, who had gone up to meet him before, was completely desperate.

He must have no way to save, and he can only pray that Kolozesak, who is a defender, will kick this excellent opportunity away.

But it didn't go as he wished, and the football just flew into the goal.

Sevilla tied the score 1-1!

"The goal has been scored! Athletic Bilbao made a fatal mistake!" Shao Shengyi explained excitedly.

"The opponent wants to hit the goalkeeper, but the strength is too small."

"Lu Yunlong rushed to the football. After chasing the football, he didn't choose to hit the goal directly."

"I actually chose to pass it to my teammates, and finally Kolozesak made an empty goal!"

"The game has returned to the starting point, and the two sides are temporarily tied 1-1."

"Lu Yunlong should take a lot of credit for the occurrence of this goal."

"It was his unremitting efforts that caught the opponent's fatal mistakes."
