Chapter 511 Penalty
Unknowingly, the first half of the game is over, I have to say that today's game is still very exciting.

The process was much more intense than Cai Jian thought. He originally thought that although Manchester City had injury problems in the defense, Manchester City was still the favorite to win overall.

Atlanta has indeed improved a lot recently. Even against a team like Manchester City, they can play back and forth.

All the statistics are about the same, and the ball possession rate is also [-]-[-].

When the time came to the 28th minute, Atlanta launched a counterattack.

Xia Zhong drove the ball forward at full speed, Manchester City also knew the importance of Xia Zhong to Atlanta.

There are many Manchester City players around him at this time, and it has to be said that Manchester City's defense speed is indeed very fast.

Atlanta did not fight well this time, and Atlanta only had two players in front.

On the other hand, Manchester City's defensive end has retreated 4 players. This is a 2-on-4 counterattack.

However, Manchester City's defensive attention is more focused on Xia Zhong, and Ilicic, who is on the right, has a lot of space.

So Xia Zhong assigned the football to the right and passed it to striker Ilicic.

Xia Zhong is a through ball, but the amount of lead is not very large.

Ilicic quickly received the pass, and when Ilicic received the pass, he was already around 45 degrees to the right outside the penalty area.

And it is very close to the penalty area. At this time, there is only one Fernandinho in front of him.

Ilicic did not choose to pass the ball, he has no point of exit.

There were a lot of defensive players around Xia Zhong, and the other teammates didn't keep up.

He can only do this ball alone, so facing Fernandinho's defense, he can only choose to break through.

Seeing that the two were getting closer, they were near the penalty area line.

Ilicic changed direction slightly, trying to pass Fernandinho.

And Fernandinho saw that Ilicic wanted to break through, and he stretched his legs to poke the football out.

But he didn't expect that Ilicic changed direction slightly.

He accidentally tripped Ilicic, and Ilicic fell directly to the ground.

The referee blew the whistle without the slightest hesitation.

And pointed directly to the twelve yards, indicating that this is a penalty kick.

"Let's see, the referee indicated that this is a penalty kick!" Liu Jiayuan explained with interest.

You must know that this is Manchester City's home court. If a penalty is really awarded, it is very likely that Atlanta will take the lead.

"But this ball is quite difficult to say, because the foul is near the outside of the penalty area."

"There is really no way to say it clearly, but it seems that the referee is still very decisive."

Because the ball was too fast, Cai Jian didn't see it too clearly.

At this time, the slow-motion playback began to play. It turned out that when Ilicic changed direction, he turned the football to his left.

Fernandinho stretched his leg and tripped Ilicic, but the key now is the position of the foul.

Interestingly, however, even through video playback, it is still difficult to judge the location.

It can only be said that the fouls in the penalty area are slightly biased, and the referee's penalty is no problem.

"It seems that this penalty is not a problem. This is really a foul in the penalty area." Cai Jian explained suddenly.

"This penalty is really too high, the difference is just that little." Liu Jiayuan explained.

"I have to say that the referee's eyes are still good. He can award a penalty kick so decisively. We can only see it through the slow-motion playback."

Manchester City fans booed what they thought was an out-of-bounds foul.

Immediately afterwards there was a sense of uneasiness. Could it be that they are going to lose at their home court today?
Some Atlanta fans came to the scene, and they cheered happily.

As if they had taken the lead, especially for the players.

Several teammates ran towards him, and everyone happily celebrated the penalty.

Cai Jian knew that this penalty should be handed over to Xia Zhong to take the penalty. Sure enough, Xia Zhong walked towards the penalty spot with the football in his arms.

As expected, the ball was given to Xia Zhong. With Xia Zhong's current status in the team, the penalty must be given to him to take the penalty.

The Huaxia players who watched the live broadcast today all know the player Xia Zhong.

But there are also people who are not familiar with it. They didn't expect the penalty to be handed over to Xia Zhong.

You must know that penalties are usually given to core players. At this moment, they realized that Xia Zhong's status is so high.

Xia Zhong put the football on the penalty spot, and then slowly backed away.

"This penalty is handed over to Xia Zhong to take the penalty. Some people may not know that Xia Zhong is now the team's first penalty shooter." Liu Jiayuan introduced the commentary.

Xia Zhong started to back up, and goalkeeper Ederson bounced back and forth.

Facing goalkeeper Ederson, Xia Zhong was full of confidence.

approach!Penalty!
A set of moves was smooth and smooth, and he took the penalty kick to the left.

After seeing Edson's save, Xia Zhong smiled instantly.

Because Ederson jumped the wrong way, the football flew straight into the goal.

Atlanta leads Manchester City 1-0 away!

"No problem! Xia Zhongwen scored a penalty kick." Liu Jiayuan explained excitedly.

"Xia Zhong's penalty kick is still stable, and he successfully deceived the goalkeeper Ederson." Cai Jian was happy because of Xia Zhong's goal.

"Now the score has come to 1-0, and the leading side is actually Atlanta."

"I believe that such a score still surprised many viewers." Liu Jiayuan continued to explain.

The Manchester City fans at the scene were quiet, and they were behind Atlanta at their home court.

It was still unacceptable to them, and soon they began to cheer for Manchester City.

I hope that Manchester City can equalize the score as soon as possible, and Xia Zhong celebrated happily after scoring.

The first goal at home to Manchester City gave them hope of winning.

Soon teammates stepped forward to celebrate the goal together.

However, Atlanta was not happy for too long. Only a few minutes after the game, Manchester City launched an attack again.

De Bruyne sent a through ball to the right. Lu Yunlong was very fast, and he quickly caught up with the football.

Soon he took the ball to the left of the penalty area, and defender Masiello rushed up to stop Lu Yunlong from continuing to break through.

Now Lu Yunlong is the world's top star, and they attach great importance to Lu Yunlong.

However, when Lu Yunlong cut in suddenly, he intended to hit the goal directly from a different angle.

But Marcielo came up, exactly the same as Fernandinho before.

He wanted to poke the football out, but he tripped Lu Yunlong instead.

Unlike the previous penalty, this time it was definitely in the penalty area.

The referee was very decisive and blew the whistle again.

Then he pointed directly to the twelve yards, indicating that this is a penalty kick!
