Hummels, seeing the situation unfavorable, directly pressed down on his center of gravity and slid to tackle, aiming to block Huang Kaiwen's shot.
The ball lifted off from in front of Hummels' foot, heading straight towards the left part of the goal. Dida promptly turned sideways and jumped up, extending his right arm to try to block the incoming ball.
Duang——
The ball's trajectory was higher than he anticipated, crashing into the underside of the crossbar and bouncing fiercely into the net's cradle.
Beep,
Beep,
Beep——
The assistant referee pointed to the center circle, indicating the goal was valid.
Immediately after, he blew two short whistles followed by one long.
The match was over.
Huang Kaiwen, decisive goal!
The whistle was like a starter pistol, as Chelsea's substitutes, coaching staff, along with Ballack, Drogba, and Faria, who were waiting in the tunnel, charged into the San Siro Stadium.
