They understood clearly:
If they wanted to stop Su Luo from advancing, they would have to foul him.
But now, Su Luo had already entered the opponent's penalty area.
If they fouled recklessly at this point, the referee would definitely award a penalty kick.
There was no other choice.
The two West Ham United defenders could only rely on their physical strength to try and stop Su Luo's charge.
But then...
Just as the two defenders confronted Su Luo in a "4-1-3" defensive setup,
The next second—they realized the seriousness of the situation.
Because Su Luo didn't go for the shot.
Instead, he made a brilliant pass, threading the ball straight to Lukaku, the beast waiting in the box.
It was a sublime assist,
And it completely caught the defenders off guard.
They had no time to react.
In a flash,
The ball appeared at Lukaku's feet.
And—
It's worth mentioning—there were no defenders near Lukaku at all.
At that crucial moment,
Lukaku struck!
A direct shot toward goal!
In the blink of an eye,
The ball rocketed like a cannonball straight into the net.
There was nothing goalkeeper Joe Hart could do.
He could only watch as the ball flew past him into the goal.
Just like that—
The score was leveled: 2–2.
Chelsea, playing at home, had successfully equalized.
All around Stamford Bridge,
Tens of thousands of fans couldn't hold back their excitement.
They erupted, wildly chanting Su Luo's name.
Even though it was Lukaku who scored the goal,
Every Chelsea fan knew deep down—
If it weren't for Su Luo's stunning breakthrough,
Lukaku wouldn't have had that chance at all.
And just like that—
Su Luo became the undeniable hero of the match.
The pressure now shifted onto the West Ham United players.
To be fair, in that defensive play just now,
West Ham had already given their all.
They tried their absolute best to stop Chelsea's attack.
But unfortunately—
They still couldn't keep up with Su Luo's pace.
He was simply too fast.
In the Understand the Ball live broadcast room,
Commentator Zhan Jun shouted excitedly:
"Chelsea have equalized! The score is now 2–2!!"
"This is unbelievable!!"
"Su Luo created that goal with a perfect assist!"
"At this moment, Su Luo is the king of Stamford Bridge—the undisputed king of football!"
"Every time Chelsea is in danger, Su Luo rises to the occasion and turns the game around! Tonight is no different!!"
In the live chat,
The comment section exploded—completely overwhelmed by Chinese fans.
"Told you! Su Luo's ability can absolutely lead the team to victory! It's only a tie now, but with this momentum, Chelsea is bound to win!!"
"Su Luo's breakthrough was just unreal! No one can match his attacking rhythm!"
"Is this what a world champion looks like? Incredible!"
"West Ham's defense did all they could… but unfortunately, their opponent was Su Luo!"
"If this keeps up, Chelsea will take the lead. I've seen this story before—I know how it ends!!"
The game continued.
After the restart,
To be honest—every Chelsea player's mentality had undergone a dramatic transformation.
Now, they weren't just playing for an equalizer.
They were playing to score again—and win.
As for West Ham United,
Playing away from home…
Their challenge was only getting harder.
