On the court, Lu Wenbin was ready to take the free kick.
In the 42nd minute of the first half of the regular game, Lu Wenbin used a system skill to take a free kick, but it missed.
He thought it was still within the 90-minute cool-down period and he had to take the free kick himself.
But when Lu Wenbin subconsciously opened the system interface and took a look, he found that the 90-minute cooldown time of his special skill Free Kick (Basic) had expired and he could use it.
This made Lu Wenbin stunned.
Lu Wenbin then remembered that although it was the 42nd minute when he used the system skill in the first half, there was 1 minute of stoppage time in the first half and a 15-minute halftime break.
The second half lasted 45 minutes, and there were more than 3 minutes of stoppage time. After the stoppage time, there was a break for several minutes before the overtime began.
After the 15-minute first half of overtime, there was a break of a few minutes before the second half began. Now almost 10 minutes have passed, which is just enough for the 90-minute cooling-off time to be completed.
Seeing that the system skills had been cooled down, Lu Wenbin couldn't help but be overjoyed.
This is the first time that he can use a system skill twice in one game!
In previous matches, there had never been a situation where a free kick had a good position both at the beginning and at the end of the match, and Lu Wenbin had never experienced the feeling of using a system skill twice in one match.
Now, because of the overtime, there happens to be a situation where the system skill can be used twice in one game.
Coupled with the fact that Bayern hit the post three times and Hoffenheim equalized in stoppage time, Lu Wenbin felt that God might really be on Hoffenheim's side today.
The timing of this free kick was just perfect.
If Lu Wenbin were to take the penalty kick from this position where no goal had ever been scored, his chances of scoring might only be a few percent.
But if you use system skills to take the penalty, the chance will be much greater.
Perhaps, this is an opportunity to kill Bayern Munich, and also a rare opportunity to learn free kick techniques in relatively remote positions from the system during the game.
Lu Wenbin calmed himself down, then used the system's special skill of free kick (primary) and entered spectator mode.
The system controlled Lu Wenbin's body to position the ball and then move away.
After the referee blew the whistle for a penalty kick, the system positioned the target star at the near corner of the goal blocked by the human wall, while goalkeeper Rensing stood at the far end.
Then, the system controlled Lu Wenbin's body to run a few steps, and then kicked the football. The ball flew into the air and flew over the human wall.
However, just a moment before Lu Wenbin kicked the football, Van Buiten, who was supposed to jump on the spot in the human wall, suddenly took a big step forward and then jumped up from the ground.
The distance for this free kick to hit the near corner is relatively close, only more than 20 meters.
Van Buiten suddenly took a big step forward to shorten the distance, and with his height of 196cm, the flying football gently touched his head, changed direction and flew to the far end of the goal.
Van Buiten was overjoyed when he felt that he had headed the ball, thinking that he had done a great job.
Lu Wenbin, who had regained control of his body, suddenly changed his expression and was about to complain to the referee about Van Buiten moving out of the human wall prematurely and requesting a new free throw.
Only goalkeeper Rensing uttered the German national curse in his heart.
He guessed Lu Wenbin's intention to hit the near end, and at the moment Lu Wenbin kicked the football, he suddenly rushed from the far end to the near end.
If the ball successfully passed the human wall, it might have been saved by Rensing who guessed the direction correctly.
As a result, when Rensing was rushing towards the near end of the goal, he saw the ball hit the head of Van Buyten who had moved and jumped in advance, and then changed direction slightly and flew to the far end of the goal.
Then, Rensing was helpless: due to the inertia of the movement of his body's center of gravity, the most he could do was brake, but he couldn't turn his body back and rush to the far end.
Under Rensing's desperate gaze, the free kick that was touched by Van Buyten and changed direction passed over the crowd in the penalty area and landed behind the goal.
Toni, who rushed from the small penalty area to the back of the goal and tried to head the ball away, failed to head the ball. The free kick flew into the Bayern Munich goal in an unexpected way.
The referee felt a little amused when he saw Van Buiten's constipated expression, as he thought he had done a great job by heading the ball in advance.
If the ball didn't go in, he was really prepared to let Bayern, who had committed a moving foul in advance, stand in the wall again and let Lu Wenbin take the free throw again.
But now, since the ball has gone in, it is no longer necessary. It can be regarded as a punishment for Van Buyten for not following the rules!
Then, the referee decisively pointed to the center circle and blew the whistle to indicate that the goal was valid.
As for the scorer, it is still counted under Lu Wenbin's name.
Just like a goalkeeper's save, the football itself is flying towards the goal, but if the goalkeeper fails to catch it, it is still counted as a goal by the shooter, not an own goal by the goalkeeper.
The free kick taken by Lu Wenbin was heading towards the goal frame, so even though Van Buiten touched the ball and caused it to change direction, it would not be counted as an own goal, and it would still be counted as Lu Wenbin's goal.
Lu Wenbin, who was about to complain about Van Buyten's premature moving foul, suddenly yelled and stopped complaining. He turned and rushed towards the stands where Hoffenheim fans gathered on the sidelines, with excited teammates gathering from all directions behind him.
It seems that God really stands on Hoffenheim's side today.
In the commentary booth, the commentators shouted excitedly:
"Toooooooooooooooor..."
"A decisive goal, a decisive goal, Lu scored a decisive free kick in overtime, Bayern is in danger!"
"Lu, the top free kick expert in the Bundesliga this season, scored a free kick in the 115th minute of extra time!"
"The magical Chinese Lu scored a winning free kick in the second half of extra time. Hoffenheim may really beat Bayern Munich to win the championship and stage a dragon-slaying legend!"
"Van Buyten moved ahead of time in the wall and headed the ball, but this interfered with Rensing's save, causing the ball to bypass Rensing who was diving to the near end and fly into the far goal!"
"I guess Rensing must be cursing Van Buiten in his heart right now!"
Hoffenheim fans in the stands were celebrating and mocking Van Buyten's own goal, while neutral fans were applauding and talking about Lu Wenbin's winning goal and Van Buyten's own goal.
Today's final is really worth watching.
Leading, equalizing, reversal, equalizing in stoppage time, direct free kick in extra time, own goal clearance, etc.
There were few famous games in the final, but today's final, which was originally thought to be one-sided, featured a plot that countless fans loved to see.
Except for Bayern fans, everyone else is extremely satisfied with the current progress of the game.
After celebrating wildly for almost a minute, the referee stepped in amid protests from Bayern players to remind Hoffenheim to end the celebration, return to their own half and let Bayern kick off again.
The game continues.
