The moment Sigurdsson broke into the penalty area, he didn't dare hesitate for even a second.
Making a prompt decision, he immediately went for the shot!
However, Chelsea's central defender Azpilicueta made a brilliant save by diving to the ground.
Azpilicueta used his body to successfully block the shot, demonstrating excellent defensive instincts.
It was an outstanding piece of defending.
Everton had missed a golden opportunity to equalize the score.
At this moment, disappointment and helplessness were etched across the faces of tens of thousands of fans in the stands at Goodison Park.
These Everton fans had one simple goal in mind: to witness a great victory for their team at home. Every Everton supporter had hoped to see their team pull off a monumental upset against the powerful Chelsea side in this match.
But judging from the performance of the two teams so far, overturning Chelsea seemed almost impossible.
After all, every Chelsea player was brimming with fighting spirit in tonight's game.
Whether in attack or defense, Chelsea players were giving it their all.
Soon, under the constant instructions of head coach Conte, Chelsea launched another wave of attacks.
It must be said—Chelsea's offensive sharpness was on an entirely different level compared to Everton's.
After all, Chelsea had Su Luo in their lineup.
In the 15th minute of the game, Su Luo once again received a pass from a teammate in the midfield.
Everton's defensive players immediately heightened their vigilance.
As soon as Su Luo stopped the ball with his right foot, several defensive players surrounded him. Among them were Idrissa Gueye and Tom Davies, two players who had been quite active throughout the match.
This time, the moment Su Luo received the ball in midfield, the two Everton midfielders rushed in to double-team him from both sides. They even made aggressive defensive moves to try to dispossess him.
In this critical moment, Su Luo remained completely calm.
He didn't panic, nor did he choose to pass the ball. Instead, he turned decisively and accelerated for a second time.
Relying on his unparalleled physical fitness, Su Luo easily broke free from the double-team of the two Everton players.
Afterward, Su Luo quickly scanned his surroundings, observing the movement of his teammates.
When he noticed that Hazard and Pedro were already making runs toward the Everton penalty area, Su Luo didn't hesitate to showcase his exceptional passing skills.
There was no denying that Su Luo's passing ability was extraordinary.
With precise technique, he delivered the ball to Pedro's feet at incredible speed.
As a forward who graduated from the famed La Masia youth academy, Pedro possessed excellent skills. His ability to handle the ball and maintain control was remarkable.
After a series of quick direction changes, Pedro took a decisive shot, even under heavy pressure from multiple defensive players.
However, despite Pedro's skillful play, Everton's penalty area was crowded with defenders.
In the end, Pedro's excellent shot was mercilessly blocked by Everton's determined defense.
