When Izquierdo receives the football, he always manages to leverage his speed advantage to force a breakthrough.
This time is no exception.
As the ball reaches Izquierdo's feet,
He shows no hesitation whatsoever.
He accelerates immediately, driving straight into Chelsea's defense.
Relying on his unmatched speed advantage,
Izquierdo successfully completes the breakthrough.
Afterwards,
With a series of quick direction changes, Izquierdo creates a clear opportunity to shoot.
Positioned just outside the penalty area,
Izquierdo takes a brief look at the goal and fires off a quick shot with incredible speed.
However,
It's unfortunate.
This time, Izquierdo's shot appears rushed and lacks composure.
In the end,
The ball smashes against the goalpost!
Once again,
Izquierdo fails to find the back of Chelsea's net.
On the sidelines:
Chelsea's head coach, Conte, is visibly dissatisfied with his team's performance during this stretch of the game—particularly the defense.
In frustration,
Conte storms to the edge of the technical area, shouting at his players and gesturing wildly.
He demands that the Chelsea players remain vigilant in the upcoming minutes!
Restarting play:
As the game resumes,
Chelsea looks to regroup and refocus.
In midfield,
Izquierdo once again gains control of the ball.
This time,
He confidently attempts another breakthrough on the wing.
But unfortunately for Izquierdo,
Chelsea's defensive line is far better organized.
Two defenders—Marcos Alonso and Kante—arrive at lightning speed to block his path.
It must be said—
Both Alonso and Kante are highly focused and leave no room for Izquierdo to maneuver.
Left with no other options,
Izquierdo is forced to pass the ball back to midfielder Stephens.
When Stephens receives the ball,
He wastes no time, immediately launching a long pass forward.
The ball soars over the halfway line and lands perfectly at Kayal's feet.
Kayal's chance:
As a wide player,
Kayal is quick to react.
The moment he controls the ball,
He unleashes his speed and accelerates down the flank with great intensity.
But suddenly—
Su Luo appears in front of Kayal like a bolt of lightning.
It must be said—
Su Luo's defensive awareness and commitment are outstanding.
Without giving Kayal any chance to advance,
Su Luo decisively takes his position and closes down the space.
This puts Kayal under immense pressure,
And he struggles to deal with Su Luo's relentless marking.
Finally,
With quick reflexes and impeccable timing,
Su Luo intercepts the ball and immediately begins Chelsea's counterattack!
Chelsea's counterattack:
After regaining possession,
Su Luo surges forward with blistering speed, dribbling past Brighton's midfielders.
Using his exceptional sense of rhythm,
He creates space and quickly spots Hazard in an advantageous position.
Without hesitation,
Su Luo delivers a precise pass to Hazard, perfectly utilizing Chelsea's tactical system.
Hazard's brilliance:
When Hazard receives the ball,
He showcases his extraordinary skill under pressure.
Despite interference from multiple Brighton defenders,
Hazard remains calm and composed.
Through a series of emergency stops and deft movements,
He manages to carve out a narrow shooting lane.
At the penalty spot:
Hazard lays the ball off perfectly for Su Luo, who has positioned himself in the box.
With perfect timing,
Su Luo unleashes a quick and powerful volley.
The ball rockets into the net, leaving Brighton's goalkeeper with no chance!
Goal!
The scoreline now stands at 2–0 in favor of Chelsea.
