Time passed by minute by minute, and Hoffenheim had less and less time.
Although it was already the injury time, Hoffenheim was in high spirits after falling behind four times and equalizing the score four times. Leverkusen looked like they were about to lose the ball at any time.
If the game ended with a score of 4-4, Leverkusen would obviously have escaped a disaster.
Therefore, when the 3 minutes of extra time had jumped to 92 minutes and more than half had passed, while Leverkusen's coach, players and fans were counting the seconds anxiously, and the 3 minutes of extra time was about to end and the referee was frequently looking at the watch, Hoffenheim's attack hit Leverkusen's penalty area again.
Salihovic broke through an opponent outside the penalty area and made a wonderful pass to the empty space in the penalty area. Eduardo made a feint at the penalty spot, attracted the attention of a defender and goalkeeper, and then made a wonderful heel pass behind him.
Lu Wenbin, who had a very good understanding of cooperation with Eduardo, rushed into the penalty area in time, and managed to maintain his balance amid the pushing and pulling of Enrique and Friedrich. He poked the ball with his toes and poked the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.
Then, Lu Wenbin was pulled down by Enrique and Friedrich.
But it's too late.
The referee first pointed to the center circle and blew the whistle to indicate that the goal was valid.
Then he looked at his watch and blew the whistle to end the game.
“Toooooooooooooooooooor…”
All the commentators reached a climax and stood up and shouted:
"A decisive blow, a decisive blow at the last second!"
"Lu scored a lore goal in the last second of the game and performed a hat trick to help Hoffenheim beat Leverkusen 5-4!"
"The fearless country club Hoffenheim and the omnipotent super shooter Lu, they scored two goals in three minutes of stoppage time to reverse and defeat Leverkusen!"
"What a fantastic comeback! Hoffenheim evened the score after falling behind four times, and finally scored a last-second winner against Leverkusen!"
The commentator of CCTV-5 excitedly shouted:
"It was great! This was a great, thrilling, classic game! As the saying goes, when two brave men meet in a narrow road, the bravest one wins. Hoffenheim, who had been insisting on attacking, finally received its reward. Lu Wenbin scored the winning goal in the last second of stoppage time and defeated Leverkusen 5-4. The great Hoffenheim miracle, the great Lu Wenbin, Leverkusen paid a heavy price for their tactics of shrinking defense in the last ten minutes!"
Indeed, when Leverkusen's players, coaches and fans watched Lu Wenbin poking Eduardo's heel pass into the goal, many people closed their eyes in pain before the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
This game was a tragedy for Leverkusen, who scored four goals and took the lead four times.
Labbadia's defensive contraction in the last ten minutes will probably be criticized by countless media and Leverkusen fans after the game.
Hoffenheim naturally won't care about their opponents' sadness.
When the referee blew the whistle to signal the goal and then the end of the game, the entire Rhine Neckar Arena was in an uproar.
Lu Wenbin turned over and got up from the ground, but before he could run a few steps, he was pinned to the ground by his teammates and fell madly.
Coaches Ralph, Matthews, Calder, and Beerbohm on the sidelines, and substitute players Demba Ba, Copado, and Walsa also rushed into the field and celebrated wildly with the players on the field.
Hoffenheim fans in the stands were crying with joy, jumping and dancing like crazy, clapping and screaming, venting their excitement.
Even Kate, a non-fan in the players' family area, was moved to tears and hugged the other beauties next to her.
Kate discovered that football is not only her boyfriend's job, it can also be so exciting and touching!
Countless Hoffenheim fans in front of the TV were banging on the tables and benches and drinking beer to vent their excitement.
There are also countless neutral fans who were captured by Hoffenheim and Lu Wenbin and became fans of Hoffenheim and personal fans of Lu Wenbin.
A comeback victory against the strong team Leverkusen in the face of numerous difficulties made the whole Hoffenheim crazy and gained countless fans.
Lu Wenbin was pressed down by his teammates for a full half minute. When he stood up, his head, face and body were covered with grass clippings and mud, but Lu Wenbin didn't care.
At the captain's call, everyone walked to the sidelines and thanked the fans in each stand. The fans also shouted slogans "Long live Hoffenheim" and interacted with the players.
It took about ten minutes to walk around the stands completely. After all the players and coaches of Leverkusen had left, the Hoffenheim team finished thanking the fans. Finally, they returned to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes amid the cheers of the fans.
After completing a hat trick, Lu Wenbin took a shower and was taken to the post-match press conference by Ralph.
At the press conference, the media reporters were indeed besieging Leverkusen's head coach Labbadia.
In particular, those media who supported Leverkusen before the game and hoped that Hoffenheim would suffer a Waterloo criticized Labadia's on-the-spot tactics in the last ten minutes, leaving Labbadia speechless.
Because it is a fact that Labadia made a mistake in his on-the-spot command.
Hoffenheim's defense was accidentally destroyed less than 10 minutes into the game. It was a evenly matched game, with Leverkusen even leading in the score. However, the game was reversed by the opponent because of his conservative tactics in the last ten minutes. No wonder he was questioned and bombarded by reporters.
When Ralph and Lu Wenbin walked into the press conference room, Labadia, feeling greatly humiliated, stood up and walked away, leaving behind a panicked figure.
After Labadia left, reporters turned their attention to Ralph and Lu Wenbin, who enjoyed the glory that the winners deserved.
Ralph praised today's game as an epic victory worth remembering. Every player on the team performed well and contributed to the team's comeback victory.
Even though Komper was beaten into a sieve throughout the game, he still had advantages in Ralph's eyes at this time.
Even when reporters wanted to bring it up, he looked around and didn't mention Komper's mistake. He just firmly stated that Komper completed the task of temporarily playing as a central defender and contributed his strength in the counterattack in the final stage.
In an epic comeback victory, Kompel's mistakes were nothing in the eyes of Ralph, who was in a good mood.
What's more, with Nilsson seriously injured and needing to rest for two months, Komper will have to continue to play as a central defender in the future. Ralph will naturally not publicly criticize Komper and undermine his confidence at this time.
