【Xia Han is awesome! 】

[It’s a sure thing now! I feel like Malmö’s morale is about to hit rock bottom. 】

"A perfect performance by young player Xia Han!" The Lithuanian commentator repeated this sentence incoherently.

Kuklis rushed to Xia Han, hugged his shoulders and shouted excitedly: "Xia! Awesome! This ball is awesome!"

The other teammates also rushed over and surrounded them, constantly ruffling Xia Han's curly hair.

"Let's press on to win!" Dambruaskas waved his arms and made a gesture to intensify the pressure and continue the attack.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Xia Han broke free from Levitsky's entanglement and made a straight pass.

The ball flew to Cernus' feet.

Cernás adjusted his steps slightly, and seeing that no one was blocking him, he took a few steps, leaned his body, and kicked the football hard with his right foot.

The football took off from the ground, spinning at high speed, and flew to the other side where Xia Han made a forward run after passing the ball straight to him.

Xia Han chested the ball and dribbled forward without slowing down.

There were several people piled up in Malmö's backcourt. Rakip and two defenders were firmly pinned on the backcourt. The two wingers Bergt and Rodic also quickly ran back to the half court to defend.

Faced with the siege of several people, Xia Han looked helpless and fell among the crowd.

Xia Han created a free kick in a pretty good position.

The free kick was taken by Pilibaitis.

Without any unnecessary movement, Pilibaitis lifted the ball into the penalty area.

In the penalty area, Kerla jumped high and headed the ball towards the center of the goal.

Veran reacted quickly, his fingertips lightly touched the football heading towards the goal, and the football hit the crossbar with a "bang" and flew high.

Bengtsson ran towards the falling football, trying to clear it, but before he got close, he felt a gust of wind blowing past him.

It was Xia Han! Xia Han's sharp positioning allowed him to grab the first point.

After a slight adjustment, Xia Han gathered all the strength in his right foot and kicked towards the lower middle part of the football. The contact surface between his foot and the football was complete, and the football flew towards the goal at a very fast speed.

The ball was of high quality and came at a fast and sudden speed.

Veran couldn't even stand up and could only watch the football whizzing towards him.

"Duang!"

The crossbar at the Sakhiris Zalgiris Stadium once again protected Malmö as they played away.

The football bounced out again, and bounced farther.

Xia Han hammered the turf unwillingly, but it was just a little bit off.

Malmö's left midfielder Bergt barely stopped the ball, but before he could advance, he was fouled by Kendish who stayed in the backcourt and was knocked to the ground.

Kendish received the first yellow card of the game.

"After a series of passes, Xia Han created a set-piece opportunity!"

"The ball was sent to the penalty area, and Kerla headed the ball. What a pity! Wait! Xia Han got the first point and shot with great force and speed!"

"The ball goes in... the ball hits the crossbar. Xia Han's shot was of very high quality! Unfortunately, the crossbar protected Malmö!"

"You can see that Malmö goalkeeper Veran kissed the goalpost with lingering fear!"

The commentator's mouth was like a Gatling gun, explaining continuously and quickly.

The game time passed by minute by minute, and in the remaining few minutes, neither side made any progress.

“Beep! Beep!!”

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

The Zalgiris players walked to the sidelines excitedly, while the Malmö players walked off the field listlessly like wilted eggplants.

The fans of Zalgiris excitedly interacted with the thousands of fans in the stands.

Xia Han felt the cheers of the fans and felt very excited.

Zalgiris dressing room.

Dambruaskas' face was full of smiles, and he spoke with joy: "Well done! We have already stepped half a foot into the next round of Champions League qualifiers!"

"Xia! Your performance was simply amazing! Keep going in the second half!"

"In the second half, we continued to press and run actively to create opportunities!"

“In the end, Malmö’s players lost all their fighting spirit, but we also need to pay attention to their offensive at the beginning of the second half to avoid being scored by them!” “Come on, everyone!”

The Malmö dressing room on the other side.

Hared's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip.

The young Chinese players on the opposite side are too strong individually and need to be properly restricted.

"Everyone, I think you all know that we are in a desperate situation!"

"After the goal in the first half, Zalgiris will definitely let his guard down. We need a high-intensity and fierce attack to regain our momentum!"

“Believe in ourselves, believe that we can win the game, get promoted and advance to the next round!”

Hared was planning the tactics for the second half.

Now we can only take risky measures.

His tactical philosophy is defensive counterattack and long pass, and he emphasizes multi-directional development and team cooperation.

But in the first round against Lithuanian giants Zalgiris, he deployed a high-pressure attacking tactic.

The first eighty minutes of the game were good and we created many chances, but unfortunately the forwards failed to seize them and wasted the opportunities.

But ever since the young Chinese player Xia Han came on the scene, things have been in chaos.

In less than ten minutes, he scored twice, giving Zalgiris the initiative to advance.

In the first half of the second leg, he relied on his speed to overwhelm Malmö's defense, scoring twice again and shining on the field.

"We can only attack!" Hared cleared his mind and his eyes became clear again.

The fifteen-minute break was over quickly.

Players from both sides returned to the court.

"Malmö used the first substitution of the game!"

"Sana replaces Rosenberry!"

"I wonder what wonderful performance Sana, who is faster, will bring to us when he comes on!"

"The two teams will switch sides in the second half! Looking forward to the wonderful performances of both teams!"

“Beep! Beep!!”

The referee blew the whistle and the second half of the game officially began!
Malmö's situation has improved a lot compared to the first half.

With everyone pressing high up the field, Sana predicted Pilibati's passing route and successfully intercepted the ball.

He dribbled the ball alone towards the flank of Zalgiris' half.

Facing Kendish's pressure, Sana suddenly accelerated and tried to change direction to break through.

Kendish stretched out his foot to intercept and poked the ball away with his toe. Sana leaned against Kendish's foot and fell to the ground.

Beep!
The referee blew the whistle and showed Kendish a yellow card. Two yellow cards turned into one red card and Kendish was sent off.

"What kind of penalty is this?" Kendish's face flushed. He rushed to the referee with a fierce look in his eyes. The other players also surrounded him.

"Please believe my judgment!" The referee looked unhappy.

"You bastard!" Kendish clenched his fists.

"Why don't you watch the slow-motion replay?" Xia Han said calmly to the referee.

"My eyes can't be wrong! Don't question me! OK?" The referee said that anyone who questions his decision will be given a yellow card.

"From the slow-motion replay, Kendish touched the ball first! And then he tripped Sana!"

"The referee made a wrong decision! This decision will lead to a major change in the game!"

"If Zalgiris fails to advance, the referee deserves great credit!"

The Lithuanian commentator's tone was slightly angry.

Malmö got a good free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.

But the football flew high into the sky with Ekrem's direct shot.
