The build-up itself was still the same. Using the two flanks as the destroyer to push Schalke's defense to the penalty box, they tried to break through the middle forcefully. However, when the ball got cleared to the area three meters outside of the box, instead of recycling the ball patiently, Josua Kimmich had a different idea here.
The man didn't even control the ball properly. He let it come closer to him, and before the ball could even touch the ground…
BAM!
He swung his right foot hard, whacking the ball with great power!
The ball moved in a parabolic route, rising up for a moment before it fell down like a meteor. Not only that, even though it didn't curve or move in a troublesome manner, the aim was also excellent, going straight to the left side where Higo had to dive to reach it.
The goalkeeper himself also reacted at the same time. He gritted his teeth as his feet took off the ground, one hand extended far to reach the ball. As a result…
CLANK!
