When the game resumed, Lu Wenbin increased the range of his defensive runs and shouted more frequently, reminding his teammates to position themselves and defend.
Under the organization and command of Lu Wenbin, the Chinese team's defense gradually stabilized.
Although the Chilean team has good skills, it is still very difficult for them to hit every shot accurately.
In the 22nd minute, Chile finally got a chance to shoot in the penalty area, but striker Vargas hit the ball away.
While defending, Lu Wenbin did not forget to attack.
In order to qualify, the Chinese team must defeat the Chilean team.
There was a counterattack opportunity before, but Lu Wenbin's long pass failed and Wu Lei's one-on-one shot was saved by Chilean goalkeeper Bravo.
In the 33rd minute, the Chinese team finally launched a successful counterattack.
After Lu Wenbin intercepted the ball, he passed it to the side. Yu Haibian dribbled the ball on the road and encountered an obstacle, so he passed the ball to the middle. After the pass, Lu Wenbin, who came in the middle, received the ball and used a sudden bull tail to get past a Chilean player, and then passed the ball again before the second player came up.
Hao Junmin dribbled the ball on the right side, made a one-two pass with Wu Lei who came to meet him, and then made a cross from the bottom.
The pass was very accurate, with the right height, speed and route, and it was well coordinated with Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin ran into the penalty area without the ball, rose up from the small penalty area line pulled by two Chilean central defenders, headed the cross from Hao Junmin, and headed the ball into the Chilean goal.
Bravo subconsciously waved his hand to touch the ball, but still failed to prevent the goal from happening.
Lu Wenbin scored the first goal in the history of the Men's World Cup for the Chinese team and helped the Chinese team equalize the score.
Excited Lu Wenbin rushed to the camera, puffed up his belly, stroked it twice, and said that this ball was dedicated to his unborn child.
Kate and her parents, who were watching the live broadcast at home in France, all smiled happily.
Then, Lu Wenbin was surrounded by his teammates and hugged to celebrate.
Chinese fans in the stands also excitedly waved national flags and banners to celebrate and cheer.
Lu Wenbin did not disappoint Chinese fans. He broke the record of scoring zero goals in the World Cup for the Chinese men's football team.
After the score was tied, the Chilean team had to continue to increase its offensive efforts.
Because the Chilean team and the Chinese team have the same idea: to defeat their opponents and compete with Spain.
The Netherlands team is in terrible shape, and both teams are targeting the other two teams for points in order to qualify for the group.
In the 41st minute, Chile launched a threatening attack. Midfielder Diaz's cross from the flank was almost caught by Sanchez who broke away from the defender's marking.
Fortunately, Lu Wenbin returned to defense in time and headed the ball over Sanchez, preventing Sanchez from heading the ball out of the baseline.
Chile failed to seize the opportunity in the subsequent corner kick and was cleared by the Chinese team.
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 Chilean team continued to attack while the Chinese team continued to defend and counterattack.
In the 57th minute, Aranquez made a wonderful pass to Vargas, who dribbled into the penalty area, attracted the defense of two Chinese defenders, then suddenly braked and passed the ball to the other side of the penalty area.
Sanchez rushed into the penalty area and shot without stopping. The Chilean fans in the stands stood up and prepared to celebrate.
As a result, Zeng Cheng rushed back in time and made a world-class save. He leaped forward and used his fingers to push Sanchez's violent shot out of the baseline.
Lu Wenbin, who rushed back to defend but failed to block the bullet hole, hugged Zeng Cheng tightly. Other teammates also came up and patted Zeng Cheng on the shoulder or head to express their gratitude.
The ball was not lost, and the credit goes to Zeng Cheng.
In the stands, some scouts or head coaches from European teams remembered Zeng Cheng.
The World Cup is a showcase for many Asian, African and Latin American players to enter the European football arena.
Zeng Cheng attracted the interest of some teams because of this save.
Although Chile's corner kick was grabbed by their own players, center back Mena's header was deflected by Zhao Peng.
The danger was resolved and the game continued.
Although the overall strength of the Chilean team is higher than that of the Chinese team, it is only limited, and they do not have a super striker like Lu Wenbin to convert their attack into goals.
On the Chinese side, under the command of Lu Wenbin, the defense line was so tight that it was difficult for the Chilean team to find shooting opportunities.
At the same time, the counterattack organized by Lu Wenbin also threatened the Chilean team's goal from time to time. However, there were not many opportunities and they were never converted into goals.
As time went by, the game time was getting less and less, both sides became a little anxious, and their moves started to get bigger.
In the 72nd minute, Zhao Xuri was shown a yellow card for a foul due to a side tackle to intercept the opponent's breakthrough.
In the 79th minute, defender Wang Qiang was injured while competing for a header with Vargas and was replaced by Feng Xiaoting.
But Vargas was not feeling well either. Although he was not injured and substituted, he seemed to be affected. In the 83rd minute, he made a threatening shot in the penalty area and missed the target, which in disguise helped the Chinese team to break the siege.
The Chilean team is naturally stronger than the Chinese team in overall strength, so they should be the winner.
Therefore, as time went by, the Chilean team became more anxious than the Chinese team, and their offense became more aggressive and their defense became more aggressive.
Finally, in the 88th minute, Chilean defender Jara made a mistake.
When Lu Wenbin made a wonderful pass to the penalty area and Wu Lei rushed into the penalty area to receive the ball and shoot, he made a flying tackle from the side, but he didn't touch the ball, but knocked Wu Lei to the ground and rolled several times.
Wu Lei rolled a few times and got up without any injuries, but Jara was shown a yellow card by the referee and the Chinese team was awarded a penalty kick.
The situation suddenly reversed. The Chinese players and fans cheered and celebrated, while the Chilean players surrounded the referee and tried to get him to rescind his decision.
But that's impossible.
Not to mention that the foul was very clear and undisputed, even if there was a misjudgment, the referee rarely revokes his decision.
That would be lowering the authority of law enforcement, which would not be worth the cost.
Therefore, Chile's yellow card plus penalty kick cannot be changed.
Lu Wenbin picked up the ball and walked to the penalty spot. After the referee blew the whistle for a penalty kick, he kicked the ball into the dead corner.
When it comes to penalty kicks, Lu Wenbin can always hit the target.
Thanks to Lu Wenbin's two goals, the Chinese team reversed the score and led Chile 2-1.
Chinese fans, both at the scene and in front of the TV, burst into cheers like an avalanche and tsunami.
The Chinese team may win its first World Cup victory in history.
After the game resumed, although the Chilean team attacked desperately, Gao Hongbo made two substitutions to interrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm. The Chinese team's defense line also withstood the Chilean team's counterattack under the command of Lu Wenbin.
After 4 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
Thanks to Lu Wenbin's two goals, the Chinese team reversed Chile 2-1 after conceding a goal and won its first victory in the Brazil World Cup.
While Lu Wenbin completed the systematic task of achieving the first World Cup victory, he also created a glimmer of hope for the Chinese national football team to qualify for the group stage.
