As the game continued, the Brazilian team continued to suppress the Chinese team.
However, in front of the Chinese team's defense line where Lu Wenbin and his teammates were cooperating more and more tacitly, Brazil's offense repeatedly failed.
The Brazilian team lacks superstars like Ronaldo and Ronaldinho who can make the final decision.
Although Neymar is well-known and is called the successor to the King of Football, it is actually just hype. Even if he can really reach the level of the King of Football Pele one day, it is definitely not now.
Neymar, born in 1992, is two years younger than Lu Wenbin. He is only 22 years old now and only transferred to Barcelona last year.
Not to mention the king of football, there is still a big gap between him and Ronaldo and Messi.
C Ronaldo and Messi have to admit defeat in front of Lu Wenbin, not to mention Neymar.
The first goal was more dependent on the overall passing of the Brazilian team, which made it difficult for the Chinese team to defend. Eventually the defense line was torn apart and Neymar easily scored.
This kind of ball, if it were the Chinese team's forward, would have a high chance of going in. However, the Chinese team did not have the same player configuration as the Brazilian team and could not pass this kind of ball.
After scoring the first goal, Brazil's second goal was nowhere to be seen.
In the 15th and 23rd minutes, the Brazilian team had two chances to shoot in the penalty area, but one was blocked by Lu Wenbin and the other went over the crossbar.
As for shots outside the penalty area, the threat is even lower.
Lu Wenbin and his teammates worked together to continuously disrupt and block the Brazilian team's attack, and counterattacked from time to time, but they were unsuccessful.
It was not until the 37th minute that Lu Wenbin pulled to the wing, broke through two Brazilian players and suddenly made a diagonal pass on the ground. The pass rolled in front of Thiago Silva and was received by Wu Lei who was sprinting side by side with him towards the Brazilian penalty area.
Wu Lei dribbled the ball into the penalty area, caught up with two big strides, and shot decisively without waiting for goalkeeper Cesar to block him or Silva next to him to rush over to interfere.
This time Wu Lei made a high-quality shot. The ball went under the armpit of Cesar who was lying on the ground to save the ball, and rolled into the goal behind him.
Wu Lei became the first player other than Lu Wenbin to score for the Chinese team in the World Cup, helping the Chinese team tie the score at 1-1.
The Chinese audience at the scene and in front of the TV all celebrated wildly, and Wu Lei also ran excitedly on the field to celebrate until he was pinned to the ground by his teammates.
In the next few minutes, Brazil launched an even more aggressive attack, but under the leadership of Lu Wenbin, the Chinese team did not allow the Brazilians to break through their defense.
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 Brazilian team continued to attack aggressively, hoping to end the battle within 90 minutes.
Although the Brazilians did not know that Lu Wenbin could be a goalkeeper and the secret of his superb goalkeeping skills, as a football kingdom, playing against an Asian team in overtime would be embarrassing, let alone a penalty shootout
Therefore, they have to resolve the battle within 90 minutes.
But now the score is 1-1, which forces the Brazilian team to put more energy into offense.
As a result, some loopholes inevitably appeared in the backcourt, giving the Chinese team a chance to counterattack.
But scoring a goal sometimes depends on luck.
In the 58th minute, China had a good free kick opportunity after Hao Junmin broke through and caused the opponent to foul. Lu Wenbin also activated the system skill and kicked the direct free kick within the goal frame, and the angle was very tricky.
However, Cesar performed beyond his level, made accurate judgments and moved in advance, and deflected Lu Wenbin's free kick that went straight to the dead corner over the crossbar.
Then Lu Wenbin's zero-degree corner shot was also directly confiscated by Cesar.
With Brazil having the advantage in ball possession and dominating the situation on the field, this was one of the few shooting opportunities for the Chinese team, but they lacked luck and failed to score.
The Brazilian team was lucky.
In the 70th minute, defensive midfielder Gustavo suddenly made a forward run and Oscar passed the ball back under the close defense of Lu Wenbin.
Gustavo took a long shot from 30 meters away without stopping the ball. The ball flew straight to the right side of the goal, and Zeng Cheng also made the correct judgment.
The ball had little power and speed. If nothing unexpected happened, Zeng Cheng should have saved it.
As a result, defender Wang Qiang in the penalty area did not notice that Zeng Cheng had made the correct save, but jumped hard, trying to head the ball out of the penalty area.
Unexpectedly, the ball was a little higher than he judged. Wang Qiang failed to head the ball out of the penalty area. He just scratched his scalp a little, and the ball changed its direction.
Then, under the desperate gaze of all the Chinese spectators, the ball changed its course and fell into the goal over the body of Zeng Cheng who flew to save the ball.
Zeng Cheng, who was in the air, was unable to dive back and could only turn his head and watch in despair as the ball fell into the goal.
Brazil once again led China 2-1, and tens of thousands of Brazilian fans at home celebrated with joy.
Wang Qiang lifted up his jersey and covered his head in pain.
Teammates came up to comfort Wang Qiang. Lu Wenbin also came over and patted Wang Qiang on the shoulder, put down his clothes, and said, "Don't be discouraged. We still have time."
The game continues.
The Brazilian team did not shrink its defense just because it was leading.
Leading China by one goal, they retreated to defend, which would be a joke. They need to continue scoring goals, at least win 3-1 like they did in last year's Confederations Cup, to be considered a winner.
As a result, it was this kind of thinking that led to Brazil being equalized.
In the 82nd minute, Brazilian winger Hulk's dribbling was intercepted by Lu Wenbin with a precise tackle and passed to Zhao Xuri.
Zhao Xuri passed the ball to Yu Hai and the Chinese team launched a counterattack.
Lu Wenbin got up and rushed towards the Brazilian team's penalty area.
Yu Hai made a one-two with Wu Lei who came to support him and then made a cross from the bottom. Lu Wenbin rushed into the penalty area, shook off the player who was marking him, jumped high at the penalty spot, grabbed the first point and hit it at an angle.
The ball passed Cesar's fingers and fell into the goal along the bottom of the crossbar.
In an instant, all the Chinese audiences at the scene and in front of the TV celebrated excitedly, and the Chinese commentator was also shouting excitedly in the commentary booth.
Thanks to Lu Wenbin's header, the Chinese team equalized the score and now the two sides are tied 2-2.
After the Chinese team equalized the score, the Brazilian team was even more unacceptable.
In the next few minutes, the Brazilian team attacked more vigorously, but was unable to break through the Chinese team's defense led by Lu Wenbin.
After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the 90-minute regular season. With Lu Wenbin's pass and one shot, the Chinese team tenaciously tied the host and football kingdom of Brazil 2-2.
Both sides will take a short break and then enter overtime.
