Football: He suffered a broken leg at the start of the game, but partnered with Haaland!

Havertz had his head down, his face very close, and he was breathing heavily.

Sun Yang completely ignored the German genius's provocation. He used his right arm to push the other man away from him.

"Shut your stinking mouth and save your energy for chasing back." Sun Yang said in German, then turned and walked back to his own half of the court.

Havertz spat on his back.

Woland's powerful volley shattered the tense atmosphere in the BayArena.

The Leverkusen players regained their confidence. More than 20,000 home fans stomped their feet in unison, the stadium roof rumbling with the vibrations. The cheers rose in waves, all aimed at boosting the morale of their team.

The game has restarted.

Bayer Leverkusen coach Peter Bosz stood on the sidelines, waving his hand and yelling at his players, "Go down the flanks! Spread out the width! Don't get tangled up with that kid in the middle, run down the flanks!"

The instruction had an immediate effect.

Leverkusen completely abandoned the idea of ​​competing with Dortmund in the middle with their footwork.

They shifted possession of the ball entirely to the two flanks.

Diaby on the left and Amiri on the right, these two fast horses were at full speed, launching one attack after another against Dortmund's two goalkeepers.

The tactics were very clear: intercept the ball in the backfield and go directly to the wingers, resolutely avoiding passing through the middle.

This completely disrupted Dortmund's rhythm in the game.

The ball flies in the air, or it shuttles back and forth between the two sidelines.

Sun Yang, sitting in the middle, possessed exceptional organizational and tactical skills, yet he couldn't even get close to the ball.

Leverkusen's attack is simple and brutal; they rely on their speed to outpace Dortmund's full-backs and then deliver crosses.

Dortmund's right-back Akanji was repeatedly outmaneuvered by Diaby, who twice outmaneuvered him.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and Dortmund was forced to retreat completely.

Even forwards Reus and Sancho had to drop back to their own 30-meter zone to participate in the defense.

With their formation compressed, Haaland was left alone in the attacking third, wandering back and forth within Leverkusen's defense.

Sun Yang also dropped to the edge of the penalty area to help defensive midfielder Witsel intercept the opponent's cross.

The time displayed on the big screen has reached the thirtieth minute.

Leverkusen's attack became increasingly fierce, launching high balls into the Dortmund penalty area one after another.

Haaland couldn't get the ball in the attacking third for a long time, and he was so anxious that he kept jumping up and down on the grass.

The Nordic monster stretched out his arms towards the backfield, roaring in his hoarse voice, "Get the ball back! Launch a long ball! Are you all just sitting around in the box? Pass the ball to me!"

No one can afford to pay attention to him. Dortmund's defense is under heavy attack.

In the 35th minute, Amiri made a strong run down the right flank past Guerrero and swept a half-high ball towards the goal. Goalkeeper Bürki dived and blocked the ball out of play with his leg.

In the 38th minute, Havertz unleashed a sudden long-range shot, the ball grazing the post and flying into the stands.

Every shot by Bayer Leverkusen elicits a deafening roar from the home fans.

Finally, prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat.

The match has reached the 40th minute.

Leverkusen intercepted the ball in their own half and delivered a long pass that accurately found Diaby on the left wing.

Diaby chested the ball down, then with a quick right foot strike, he faced the closing Akanji and, without even feinting, simply kicked the ball forward, relying solely on his explosive power to overpower him.

Akanji was a beat too slow to turn around and could only watch Diaby overtake him.

Diaby fought his way to the vicinity of the baseline.

Dortmund defenders quickly closed down the near post.

Diaby spotted the position in the penalty area and chipped a high ball with his left foot. The ball dipped sharply and sailed over veteran Hummels who jumped at the near post.

This was an extremely dangerous long pass over the top.

At the far post, Leverkusen striker Volland and Dortmund's young center-back Zagadou both started their runs.

The two collided violently in mid-air.

Zagadou, being young, misjudged the timing of his jump and was forcefully pinned down by Volland's strong body.

With a powerful stride, Volland met the falling ball with a solid header.

The ball was too close for goalkeeper Bürki to save, and it slammed into the net.

The BayArena erupted in cheers as fans threw thousands of plastic beer mugs bearing the Leverkusen logo from the stands, spilling foam all over the ground.

They've taken the lead!

Bayer Leverkusen leads Borussia Dortmund 2-1.

Volland excitedly took off his jersey and ran to the corner flag to celebrate wildly, only to be tackled to the ground by his teammates.

As Havertz ran back, he deliberately took a detour past Sun Yang, slowing down and pointing at the score on the stadium's big screen.

"I told you long ago, your defense is nothing but a pile of paper. Get ready to return to Dortmund with a crushing defeat!"

Sun Yang remained expressionless. He bent down, scooped the ball out of the net, and kicked it toward the center circle.

On the sidelines, Borussia Dortmund's head coach Lucien Favre could no longer sit still.

This stubborn old Swiss man uttered a French swear word.

He rushed to the sideline, shouted into the field, and made his famous hand gestures in the air.

"Change formation! Control the midfield! Play like you've been in training!"

Favre decisively made a tactical adjustment, changing the formation directly to a horizontal 4-4-2.

Achraf dropped back to the defensive line to fill the gaps on the flanks. Reus dropped back to midfield to increase the midfield's support.

In the most crucial step, Favre pointed at Witsel, patted his chest forcefully, and then pointed at Sun Yang.

The instructions were very clear: have Witsel act as Sun Yang's bodyguard, do the dirty work of sweeping up the midfield for him, and completely free Sun Yang from the quagmire of defense.

The ball is restarted from the center circle.

Once Dortmund changed their formation, the game immediately turned around.

When Sun Yang receives the ball in midfield, as long as a Leverkusen player rushes up to press him, the physically imposing Witsel will definitely rush over immediately to set a screen or provide a short pass option.

With Witsel as a powerful shield, Sun Yang no longer had to be distracted by those brutal collisions when receiving the ball.

Control of the midfield gradually returned to Dortmund.

The time on the big screen ticked away, reaching the forty-fifth minute.

The fourth official on the sidelines held up an electronic board with the number 3 lit up in red.

Three minutes of added time were added in the first half.

Leverkusen still had possession of the ball, and they won a throw-in at the sideline in Dortmund's half.

Full-back Sinkgraf held the ball and threw it forcefully towards Diaby, who was calling for the ball near the sideline.

Diaby chested the ball down, and it went about half a meter away from his chest.

Diaby was ready to repeat his previous tactic, his right foot already pushing off the ground, preparing to accelerate and charge into Akanjina's crumbling defense once again.

Just as Diaby was about to touch the ball.

A dark yellow figure suddenly appeared from his side and behind.
