Huang Bowen kicked the ball high across the half court and landed more than ten meters in front of Lu Wenbin.
Carney and Lu Wenbin rushed towards the landing point of the ball together, while Ognovsky retreated not far away and blocked the middle to prevent Lu Wenbin from cutting inside.
Huang Bowen's kick was a little bit weak. If it was farther, Lu Wenbin could have used his speed to get rid of Carney.
But because the landing point was a little closer, Lu Wenbin had to slow down to receive the ball, and was followed by Carney.
However, this is not Huang Bowen's fault.
It was a long kick from the backcourt that was in the right direction and it was good enough that it didn't go out of the sideline. One cannot ask for too much, Lu Wenbin could only solve the problem himself.
After seeing Carney approaching, Lu Wenbin stayed in position and waited for the ball to fall, while observing the positions of Carney and Ognovskiy.
Due to Lu Wenbin's great physique, even though Carney wanted to push Lu Wenbin away and destroy the ball, he was unsuccessful.
Then, at the moment when the ball was about to hit the ground, Lu Wenbin took the ball with his back to Carney, and then made a breakthrough to the baseline. Carney immediately moved to the baseline behind him.
As a result, Lu Wenbin hooked the ball behind him, made a Cruyff turn, passed Kani and cut towards the middle.
Ognovsky retreated and defended, preventing Lu Wenbin from breaking into the penalty area, but he was unable to prevent Lu Wenbin from dribbling the ball sideways.
Kani, who had just been fooled by Lu Wenbin, also hurried back.
In addition, the other Australian midfielders and backcourt players who were attacking just now were also desperately trying to return to defense and were about to retreat to the penalty area to form a defense line.
Lu Wenbin naturally would not wait for them to build their defense line.
Just as Ogenowski was defending and retreating, blocking Lu Wenbin's breakthrough route, Lu Wenbin first paused, causing Ogenowski to pause as well, and then Lu Wenbin moved the ball sideways to create an opening for a shot.
Afterwards, Lu Wenbin shot directly without waiting for Ognovsky to react and block the shooting path.
Lu Wenbin's shot was outside the corner of the penalty area, about 30 meters away from the goal.
However, goalkeeper Schwarzer was standing a little too close to the near end, and Lu Wenbin hit a curved ball to the far corner, similar to the routine of Robin Hood breaking through the wing and cutting inside to shoot in a curved ball to the far corner.
Ognovsky threw his entire body out trying to destroy something of Lu Wenbin, but was still shaken by Lu Wenbin's pause, and finally missed the ball shot by Lu Wenbin by a hair's breadth.
Then, everyone saw that the ball kicked by Lu Wenbin first flew towards the corner flagpole.
Then, after goalkeeper Schwarzer stretched his body and rushed out but failed to touch the ball, the ball drew an arc, passed Schwarzer's fingers, and spun into the goal along the far post of the goal.
The CCTV commentator yelled: "The ball is in—the ball is in—the ball—is in—"
"2-0, 2-0, Lu Wenbin scored twice and scored the second goal for the Chinese team! This is the goal that sealed the victory. China's first Asian Cup championship is just around the corner!"
The guest commentator also shouted like a madman: "Golden Ball winner and world's top star Lu Wenbin dominated the final alone! With little time left, Lu Wenbin's goal secured the victory for the Chinese team!"
In the stands and in front of the TV, countless Chinese fans roared and celebrated wildly, like crazy, much crazier than when Lu Wenbin scored the first free kick!
Everyone knows what this goal and this score at this point in time mean!
Although there are precedents in world football of scoring two goals in stoppage time to turn the tables, such as Manchester United's two goals in stoppage time to beat Bayern Munich in the 1999 Champions League final, it is definitely a miracle.
But miracles are miracles because they are rare.
Most of the time, if we are leading by two goals near the 90th minute, we are basically sure to win!
Therefore, it’s no wonder that all Chinese people are crazy!
In the stands, the applause, cheers and screams of Chinese fans, the shouts of "Long live Chinese football" and "666" were heard continuously, and the five-star red flags were flying everywhere.
On the court, Lu Wenbin himself was also extremely excited!
He ran straight out of the stadium, stepped over the billboard, and rushed into the first row of Chinese fans. The fans excitedly patted Lu Wenbin to express their excitement and love.
Everyone hugged and high-fived Lu Wenbin to celebrate and said:
“Lu Wenbin 666!”
“Good job!”
“We’re going to win the championship!”
Some fans had tears in their eyes, and one old fan in his 50s actually started crying.
Chinese football has suffered too many difficulties. Today may be the happiest day for this old fan!
Afterwards, teammates including Zheng Zhi, Zhao Xuri, and Huang Bowen also rushed to the stands to celebrate with Lu Wenbin and the fans.
Inside the stadium, the Australian players were frustrated for a while, but then they saw Lu Wenbin and others still celebrating endlessly with the fans on the sidelines to delay the game. They immediately became furious and quickly complained to the referee, demanding that the Chinese team quickly return to the field and start the game.
They still want to give it another try!
On the one hand, the Chinese players were indeed excited, but on the other hand, they also wanted to delay time. They celebrated for nearly a minute before slowly returning to their own half to allow Australia to prepare to kick off.
At this time, the time had reached the 90th minute, and the fourth official played a card, and 3 minutes of stoppage time was added to the second half.
In the final period of injury time, Australia completely gave up on defense and attacked desperately, and finally allowed them to score a goal.
In the 92nd minute, Australia finally used its height advantage to grab the first point in the Chinese team's penalty area and scored a header, making up for one point.
But it's no use anymore.
When the game resumed, there were only a dozen seconds left.
After the Chinese team kicked off from the center circle, they passed the ball all the way back to the goalkeeper. While waiting for the Australian striker to come up and grab the ball, they kicked the ball out of the front sideline, leaving the Australian player to serve the sideline ball.
Then, the sideline ball had just been sent out and had not yet crossed the center line when the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
With a loud “Wow…”, all the Chinese fans in the stadium burst into huge cheers and screams that went straight to the sky.
Coaches and substitute players such as Gao Hongbo, Deng Zhuoxiang, and Wang Song on the sidelines also rushed into the field like crazy to celebrate with Lu Wenbin and others.
The CCTV commentator excitedly announced: "The game is over, the game is over! With Lu Wenbin's double goal, the Chinese team defeated Australia 2-1 and won the 15th Qatar Asian Cup in 2011."
"This is the first continental championship for the Chinese national football team, a feat that the Chinese team could not achieve even in 2004 when they played on home soil! The Chinese team has become the best in Asia! Long live Chinese football!" (asking for a monthly ticket)
