Lu Wenbin's goal aroused cheers from Chinese fans and overseas Chinese in the stands, and other neutral spectators also became a little more excited.
It was worth the trip to see Lu Wenbin's crotch-piercing and lob shot into the goal. At least the two teams didn't end up in a 0-0 draw.
After celebrating for a while, the game resumed.
After the Chinese team scored a goal and the balance of the game was broken, the Swiss team was in a desperate situation and had to attack.
However, there was not much time left until the end of the first half.
In the 42nd minute, the Swiss team had a powerful shot that slipped past the goal post, but unfortunately it slightly deviated from the goal post and flew directly out of the bottom line.
This was the only time in a few minutes of offense that was slightly threatening, and then the first half was over.
After 1 minute of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and the Swiss team continued to attack.
Most of the Chinese team members, including Lu Wenbin, participated in the defense in the backcourt, and only Wu Lei stayed in the front to harass the Swiss team's defense.
Lu Wenbin's defensive ability is of great help to the Chinese team's defense line.
Although his positioning ability is not very good, his ability to intercept and defend head-on is enough to make Lu Wenbin a wall in front of the Chinese team's back line.
It would be very difficult for the Swiss team to get by Lu Wenbin. If they wanted to bypass Lu Wenbin, they would have to spend more time and effort, giving other Chinese players time to return to defense.
Coupled with the solid defense of other over-age players and national team members, the Chinese team's goal was never broken by the Swiss team.
If it weren't for Lu Wenbin's participation in defense, it would still be unknown whether Wu Xi, Zhang Linpeng and others, although they are both main players of the national team, could defend against Switzerland's attack and keep the goal intact.
After all, Switzerland is a European team, different from the national Olympic teams of those Asian countries.
With Lu Wenbin's participation in the defense, the Swiss team had not yet broken through the Chinese team's goal until the 68th minute of the game.
The Chinese team, especially Lu Wenbin, was always looking for a second chance to counterattack.
A one-goal lead is very unsafe. If there is a chance to score a second goal, Lu Wenbin will never give up.
So, in the 68th minute, when Zhang Linpeng made a beautiful frontal tackle to push the Swiss midfielder's ball to Lu Wenbin's feet, Lu Wenbin began his long-distance running performance.
The first Swiss player who came up to defend was easily broken through by Lu Wenbin, the second one was passed by Lu Wenbin with a Marseille turn, and the third one was directly dribbled past by Lu Wenbin, who overpowered the opponent with his speed.
With his superior speed and dribbling skills, Lu Wenbin was unstoppable all the way from the Chinese team's half to the front of the Swiss team's penalty area.
In the end, Lu Wenbin not only dribbled past three Swiss defenders in a row, but also used a Ronaldo-style pendulum pass to knock goalkeeper Benaglio to the ground.
Everything was simple after that. Lu Wenbin passed Benaglio and easily pushed the ball into the empty goal.
Defender Morganella, who ran back desperately to save the ball, ended up rolling into the goal along with the ball and failed to complete the feat of saving the ball on the goal line.
Lu Wenbin scored twice to help the Chinese Olympic team lead Switzerland 2-0.
This successful long-distance run and pendulum pass brought out Lu Wenbin's speed, technique and physical strength to the fullest. Even among Lu Wenbin's goals, it was a rare good shot.
No wonder when Lu Wenbin scored the goal, even the British commentator shouted excitedly in the commentary booth:
“Goooooooooooooooooooooooooal…”
"The ball went in, Lu scored a super beautiful goal!"
"Lu dribbled past three players in a counterattack and finally used a Ronaldo-style pendulum pass to get past the goalkeeper, defeating the entire Swiss team by himself!"
"Superstar Lu really didn't disappoint!"
The Chinese and neutral fans at the scene gave Lu Wenbin a round of applause. Even some Swiss fans applauded Lu Wenbin while shaking their heads, expressing their deep admiration.
Lu Wenbin was also very excited and celebrated with his teammates for a long time. He finally ended the celebration after the protests of the Swiss players and returned to his own half to wait for the Swiss team to kick off from the center circle.
Trailing by two goals, the Swiss team had no way out and could only attack.
However, although they are better than the opponents the Chinese Olympic team has encountered in Asia, Lu Wenbin's defensive ability is also much stronger than before.
With Lu Wenbin retreating to participate in the defense, it was difficult for the Swiss team, which was slightly weaker than Mexico, to break through the Chinese team's defense.
Not only that, the Swiss team's aggressive attack also created more gaps in the backcourt.
In the 84th minute, the Chinese team got another counterattack opportunity. With several Swiss defenders attracted by Lu Wenbin and Wu Lei, Cao Yunding who cut inside from the wing was left in an unguarded position.
Lu Wenbin protected the ball and passed it to Cao Yunding at the moment he was about to be offside.
Cao Yunding successfully made an offside move, broke into the penalty area, received a wonderful pass from Lu Wenbin and shot low into the near corner.
The Chinese team led Switzerland 3-0 and completely secured the victory.
In the next ten minutes, although the Swiss team launched a massive attack almost without regard for defense, with the concerted defense of Lu Wenbin, Wu Xi, Zhang Linpeng and others, the Chinese team maintained the score of 3-0 until the end.
After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
The Chinese team defeated Switzerland 3-0 and ranked first with 6 points. Mexico ranked second with 3 points. Gabon and Switzerland each got one point and ranked third and fourth respectively.
In the last round, even if Gabon and Switzerland both win and China loses, they will not be able to catch up with China's 6 points.
With the top two teams in the group stage advancing directly, the Chinese team has already qualified from Group B one round in advance and advanced to the quarterfinals of the men's football team at the London Olympics.
"Wow..."
All the Chinese fans and overseas Chinese in the stands stood up, clapping, cheering and screaming excitedly.
Many people shouted "Long live China", "We qualified" and so on with tears in their eyes, expressing their excitement.
This is not only the case on site, but also the case for fans and spectators in China who are watching the live broadcast of the Olympics.
The Chinese Olympic team not only achieved its historic first victory at this year's London Olympics, but also advanced to the quarterfinals with 6 points in just two games, which is an unprecedented achievement for Chinese football.
No wonder all the Chinese fans and spectators were so excited.
Lu Wenbin was also very excited. After the game, he celebrated warmly with his teammates and coaches, then interacted with Chinese fans for a long time and signed some autographs before returning to the locker room to take a shower, change clothes, and return to the hotel to rest.
