In the second leg of the AFC Champions League quarterfinals, Shandong Taishan, as the representative of the Chinese Super League, finally defeated the opponent 4:2 with Judson's stoppage time goal, and defeated the Kawasaki Frontale of the Japanese Professional League with a total score of 6:5 to advance, and the team reached the AFC Champions League quarterfinals for the third time in history.
This victory brought us a long-lost heartiness, the first goal to lead, was equalized, then overtaken, and finally killed, this kind of passion and joy, no less than another year, after all, the Chinese team has not brought fans this feeling for a long time. Throughout the game, I don't want to pick up people's teeth, but I just want to say a few points that impressed me.
The first point is naturally the goal, and the four goals of the Taishan team are remarkable.
The first goal came from Lee Won-il's cross after a steal in front of him, which found it over the head of Cressan, who smashed the ball into the net with a header. More than half of the credit for this goal came from Li Yuanyi, and the whole team worked together to press high.
The second goal came from Kawasaki Frontale's corner kick coordination error, the Taishan team launched a quick counterattack at the back, after a simple transition in the midfield, Kazaishvili crossed the penalty area with the outside of his left instep in seconds, and Gao Zhunyi followed up and scored the goal. Kaza's world-class pass has a shadow of Kevin De Bruyne.
Subsequently, Kawasaki Frontale pulled a goal back.
In the second half, in the face of the pressure of Kawasaki Frontale, the Taishan team was out of breath, but Cressan, stepped forward again, with his individual ability, he kept getting rid of it horizontally, cutting inside, cutting inside, and shooting hard into the bottom left corner of the goal. Cressan is a star of the Tarzan team, and he is often the one who opens up the situation when the team encounters difficulties, like Messi.
The fourth goal came from a corner in the last minute of stoppage time, the ball was driven into the box, and in the scuffle, the ball flew in the air, Judson used a very awkward barb, the ball went in, and the opponent was killed.
The second point is the good-looking level of the game, which is comparable to the Asian Cup.
The third point is Wang Dalei's play, save a must-score single goal, in the second half Wang Dalei's red card, shocked into a cold sweat, fortunately, after VAR inspection, the opposing player was offside first, the red card was canceled, and the substitute goalkeeper sat back.
After this battle, the next round will be the winner between Bangkok United and Yokohama Marinos. The kick-off date for the Round of 8 has been set in advance, with the first leg scheduled for March 6 and the second leg on March 13.
Of course, there are parts of the game that need to be summarized, but winning is the last word, and we finally enjoyed the moment and can raise our eyebrows: the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League, we are here.
