Chapter 569 Chapter 567: Crazy penalty...

"Tick!..."

The referee blew his whistle, and amidst the boos of the Spanish fans, Cardoso ran towards the football and then volleyed, and the football flew towards the lower right corner of the goal!

Casillas jumped up and bravely threw the football under him!
The Spanish national TV commentator shouted: "Iker Casillas! The great Casillas, he saved the penalty and kept Spain's hope of advancing!"

Cardoso covered his face in pain, he missed the best chance to score, he felt his body was completely hollowed out...

When Cardoso was in great pain, and when the Spanish fans were ecstatic, Casilla brazenly launched a quick counterattack!
Paraguayan midfielder Victor Caceres knocked Iniesta to the ground to stop the Spaniard's quick counterattack.

Iniesta quickly stood up from the turf and sent a free kick.

After Alonso received the ball, he rushed in the middle, and then made a precise pass, and Villa flew to the football!

In the rush, Paraguayan full-back Alcaraz made a big mistake, tripping Villa behind him.

"Tick!..."

The referee blew his whistle, and pointed his right hand firmly to the penalty spot!

Another penalty!

At this time, only 39 seconds have passed since Casillas saved the penalty!The time interval between the two penalty kicks was 120 three seconds, creating the record for the shortest penalty kick interval since 1966!
After a few seconds of silence, the stadium erupted with loud screams and cheers, and the Spanish fans saw a chance to lead!

The Paraguayan fans looked at the stadium in disbelief. They hadn't even gotten over the pain of missing a penalty before they realized that their team had been hit hard.

Spanish midfielder Alonso came to the penalty spot with the football in his arms, and he wanted to take the penalty.

After the referee blew his whistle, Alonso ran towards the football slowly, then pushed and shot the football into the net!

The ball is in!
Just as Alonso was about to run all over the field and the Spanish fans were about to cheer, the referee signaled that the goal was invalid.

His reason was that when Alonso took a penalty kick, a Spanish player entered the penalty area ahead of time.

Alonso could only put the football back on the penalty spot.

Obviously, the Spanish midfielder was affected, and the football he sent was bravely blocked by the Paraguayan goalkeeper Villar!
Fabregas kept up with the right side and was about to make a supplementary shot and was thrown down by Villar, but the referee Bartres didn't say anything!
Ramos' supplementary shot from a small angle six meters in front of the goal was blocked again!

Paraguay survived!
The ESPN commentator exclaimed: "What happened? What happened? In just 2 minutes, both sides missed penalty kicks!"

"This world is crazy, this night is crazy!"

In the following time, there was a stalemate on the field, and the Spanish coach began to make substitutions, replacing Alonso, who was physically declining, with Pedro.

In the 308th minute of the second half, Iniesta broke through the center of his right foot to score the ball, and Pedro pushed with his right foot 11 meters from the right side of the goal!

The football hit the inside of the left post and bounced back into the field!
Villa reacted quickly, stepped forward two steps and stopped the ball eight meters in front of the goal, and then the ball with his right foot hit the inside of the right post, and the football hit the other post and bounced into it!
The ball is in!
The score became one to zero!

Spain breaks the deadlock!

The Spanish national TV commentator shouted: "Villa! The great Villa, he broke the deadlock, Spain's victory is in sight!"

This is Villa's fifth goal in this World Cup. He ranks No.2 in the scorer list behind Chen Fan.

After the game resumed, Spain defended tightly against Paraguay's fierce attack, and then firmly controlled the football at their feet.

Paraguay is desperate. They can only use fouls to interrupt the Spaniard's pass control. The situation has been completely controlled by Spain.

In the end, Spain maintained a one-goal lead until the end of the game. They passed the barrier of Paraguay in a thrilling way and entered the semi-finals!
They tied their best score in the World Cup - No.4!

This ranking was created in the 50th World Cup.

So far, all the top four have been produced, with Europe occupying three seats, the Americas occupying one seat, and Uruguay has become the last hope of the Americas.

Among these four teams, Germany and Uruguay have won the World Cup, while the Netherlands and Spain have never tasted the taste of the championship.

Will two former World Cup champions meet in the final, or will two teams that have never tasted the championship meet in the final to produce a new king?
This is unknown.

……

Spain are stronger than Paraguay, and reaching the semi-finals was expected, but no one expected their progress to be so thrilling.

The Spanish media believed that the biggest contributor to this victory was goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who was brave enough to save the penalty and avoid the team's passiveness.

"When the ball was thrown, Iker Casillas may not know that he has set a great record again. He stepped on the world. He became the greatest goalkeeper in the World Cup."

Aspen commented: "Counting the 02 attack against Hart, only three goalkeepers could save two penalties in 90 minutes. In the 80-year history of the World Cup, only three goalkeepers have achieved that!
And the number of times is twice, namely Cassie, the American Friedel who is currently playing for Villa in the Premier League, and the greatest Polish goalkeeper Thomas Zeski in the 70s.

And if counting the points saved in the penalty shootout, San Cassie succeeded in saving points four times, tied with the legendary German goalkeeper Schumacher and the Argentine goalkeeper Goye Gochea, becoming the goalkeeper with the most penalty kicks saved in the World Cup! "

The Spanish World Sports Daily praised Villa: After the game, FIFA gave the best to the organizer Iniesta, which is the same as the best thinking in Germany.

But you have to admit that in Bosque's tactics, Villa, who hardly needs to return to defense, is the player who hit Paraguay most thoroughly and hurts the most.

In the "three-point shootout" that has become a famous scene in the World Cup, the Spanish team won the penalty.

At the last moment of the game, in a fast break of the Spanish team, Villa completed the last volley, but was saved by Villar, the Paraguayan goalkeeper whose name is similar to his own.

In fact, the Spanish team did not have many fatal attacks on their opponents, and Villa almost took it all by himself.

Such a keen sense of smell in front of the goal, coupled with such brilliant footwork, with Villa, Del Bosque can replace Torres without any scruples and play Villa's single striker tactics.

In the last two games, the opponent's defense of Villa will inevitably be doubled, but what does it matter?

Look at our Villa, running back and forth in front of a defender who is a head taller than himself, he is so chic, people want to kick him, but they can't touch him!
Go ahead, Villa, you can't let Chen Zhuomei and South Africa, although it is difficult for you to catch up with him in the number of goals, but it's nothing, go help Spain get the Hercules Cup!
That's the most important thing!
