So what if I'm just strolling around the field? My shots are guaranteed to go in.

The television broadcast showed the scene repeated over and over again: Hoffman made a run from the back row, volleyed the ball, and it deflected off Lothar's arm and into the net.

"It was a somewhat lucky goal; the ball deflected off the goalkeeper's hand," Zhang Xuan analyzed. "But you can't deny that Bayern deserved that goal. They showed amazing fighting spirit and resilience while playing with one less player."

"The game is now going into extra time. Thirty minutes of extra time will be a huge test of the players' stamina. Especially for Dortmund, who could have finished the game in ninety minutes, but now they have to fight for another thirty minutes."

On the pitch, Bayern players ended their long celebration. Referee Nacho urged them to return to their own half.

As Hoffmann put on his jersey and walked past the center circle, his eyes met Lin Fan's. This time, there was no mockery or provocation in Hoffmann's eyes, only a warrior's unwavering determination.

"Three minutes left," Hoffman said. "The real game is just beginning."

Lin Fan nodded: "Then let's do it."

Dortmund made a substitution, with Stefano being replaced by a center-back. Bayern also made a change, replacing a cramped striker with a midfielder to rebalance their formation.

After three minutes of added time, referee Nacho blew the whistle to end the 90-minute match.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after ninety minutes of fierce battle, Bayern Munich U19 and Borussia Dortmund U19 are tied 3-3! The match will go into extra time!" Zhang Xuan's voice was a little tired, but still professional.

"Let's take a look back at this incredible match."

The television broadcast switched back to the studio, where Zhang Xuan and the guest analyst began their debriefing.

"Statistically, Dortmund had a slight advantage with 52% possession and 15 shots, 8 of which were on target; Bayern had 12 shots, 6 of which were on target. But the beauty of football is that statistics cannot fully reflect the course of the game."

"Bayern took the lead with a swift three-pronged attack, showcasing their dominance in the Bundesliga. But Borussia Dortmund, led by Lin Fan and Ilario, fought back tenaciously to equalize and even take the lead at one point. The turning point of the match was Baumann's red card, and Dortmund seemed to have the victory firmly in their grasp."

"However, Coach Herrmann's in-game adjustments were nothing short of classic. Playing with one less player, Bayern didn't collapse; instead, they displayed incredible fighting spirit. Taking off the defenders to add more forwards and switching to a 3-4-2 formation was a true do-or-die move!"

"Hofmann's goal in the 88th minute was a perfect demonstration of the young man's leadership qualities. Despite being physically exhausted and under immense pressure, he equalized with an unconventional volley. This goal will go down in the history of the youth derby."

"On the other hand, Dortmund, leading 2-3 and with a one-man advantage, showed signs of defensive lapse in the final moments. Schneider missed Hofmann, and Lothar's save, while touching the ball, wasn't enough to prevent the goal. This is the price young players have to pay – in top-level matches, 90 minutes of focus is a basic requirement."

"Now, the two sides will enter 30 minutes of overtime. For these young people, this is not only a contest of skills, but also the ultimate test of willpower and physical strength."

"Dortmund need to recover from the blow of being equalized as soon as possible. Their advantage is numbers, but their disadvantage is stamina – they expended a lot of energy defending against Bayern's late onslaught. Stefano has already left the field injured, which is a loss for the defense."

"Although Bayern are down to ten men, their momentum is unstoppable. Hofmann is in red-hot form, and the whole team's fighting spirit has been ignited. Their danger lies in the fact that playing with one less man means that each player needs to cover more areas, and the distribution of energy in extra time will be crucial."

"There is no halftime break in overtime, only a short water break. The coach's on-field command, the role of the substitutes, and the willpower of the key players will all determine the outcome of the game."

"This youth derby has exceeded everyone's expectations. Regardless of the final result, these young men have proven they deserve their jerseys. Now, let's look forward to extra time!"

In the stands, Bayern fans were still singing, and a red wave rolled across the stands.

That equalizer brought the entire stadium back to life, and now every Bayern supporter believes the miracle will continue.

The Dortmund fans' stands were relatively quiet.

Some people buried their heads in their hands, while others prayed silently. The little girl wiped away her tears, lifted her head from her father's arms, and her eyes rekindled with hope.

On the field, the two teams' performances were drastically different.

The Bayern players formed a circle, with Hofmann standing in the middle, waving his arms to encourage his teammates:

"Thirty minutes left! We're down a man, but we have faith! Everyone run one more step, carry one more load for your brothers! Let everyone see the spirit of Bayern!"

Although Baumann had already left the field, he gave his teammates a thumbs-up at the entrance to the players' tunnel.

That red card didn't break Bayern; instead, it made the team more united.

The atmosphere in Dortmund was somewhat somber.

Coach Maister called all the players to the sidelines and had them form a tight circle.

"Look at me!" Maister's voice was firm and resolute. "Lift your heads! We haven't lost! The score is tied!"

The players slowly raised their heads, their eyes still showing disappointment.

"That goal is in the past! It's 0-0 now, the game restarts!" Maister clapped his hands. "We still have a man advantage, which is a huge advantage! But an advantage doesn't automatically translate into victory; we need to fight for it!"

He looked at Lin Fan: "Lin, you are our core player. I need you to take on more responsibility in extra time. Not just scoring goals, but also organizing the offense and controlling the tempo."

Lin Fan nodded, sweat dripping from his chin, but his eyes were firm.

Maister then looked at Ilario: "Leo, are you still physically capable of holding on?"

Ilario gasped for breath, but still nodded: "Yes, Coach."

"Very good." Maistre turned to the team. "The tactics for extra time: control possession, pass the ball patiently, wear them down. They are down to ten men, and their energy is dropping every minute. We need to play smartly, not rush into attacks, and not give Bayern any opportunities for quick counter-attacks."

"Concentrate on defense! No more basic mistakes! Schneider, that corner kick was your fault, but I won't blame you. I want you to make up for it in extra time, to redeem yourself with ten successful defensive plays!"

Schneider clenched his fist: "Understood!"

"Stephano," Meister said, looking at the goalkeeper, "that goal wasn't your fault. Without your save, we would have lost long ago. Hold your head high, you're one of the best young goalkeepers in Germany!"

Stefano took a deep breath and nodded.

"at last!"

Maister scanned everyone. "Remember why we're standing here. Not for personal glory, not for the coach, but for each other, for Dortmund. Look to your left, look to your right, these are your brothers fighting alongside you. Thirty minutes left, for them, give it your all!"

"Dortmund!" Captain Webber extended his hand.

All the players put their hands together: "Victory is ours!"

On the other side, Bayern's tactical setup was simpler.

Coach Hermann's voice was hoarse but powerful: "Kids, you have already created a miracle. Now, I want you to make history."

"Extra time, defense! Tight defense! 4-5-1 formation, abandon possession, everyone retreat to your own half. Hofmann as the lone striker, waiting for counter-attack opportunities."

"Defense is not about passively taking hits, it's about actively choosing to play. Let them have possession, let them pass the ball around the perimeter, but don't give them any chances to get into the penalty area. Block all passing lanes, and use your body to block shots."

"Remember, we're one person short, so everyone has to do the work of two. What if you can't run anymore? Run with willpower! What if you can't lift your legs? Lift them with faith!"

Hermann looked at Hoffman: "Mark, you're our only chance to fight back. We might only get one or two chances in overtime, but that's enough. One chance can decide the game."

Hoffman nodded, his eyes burning with passion.

"And another thing," Hermann paused, "no matter the outcome, you've already made me proud. Now, fight on, for Bayern's glory!"

When the players from both sides returned to the field, the roar at the Allianz Arena reached a new height.

Referee Nacho called the two team captains together and tossed a coin to decide who would kick off in extra time. Manshur guessed correctly, and Dortmund chose to kick off.

"Overtime is about to begin!" Zhang Xuan's voice was filled with renewed passion.

"This is a battle of wills, a contest of spirit. Dortmund kicks off, they have a one-man advantage, and they must take advantage of that. Bayern are down to ten men but their morale is high, and they will use their ironclad defense to look for counter-attack opportunities."

"The first half of overtime begins!"
