In an instant, Sterling accelerated!
At that moment, he was like a streak of black lightning, slicing through Chelsea's defense with ease.
Rüdiger was assigned to mark him. Although Rüdiger is tall and strong, Sterling's speed gave him a clear advantage.
And the result was exactly as expected—Sterling outpaced Rüdiger effortlessly, leaving him behind.
Reaching the baseline, Sterling sent a perfect low cross into the box, aiming right for Jesus!
Earlier in the game, Jesus's shot had already threatened Chelsea's goal, and if not for Courtois's stellar save, Manchester City might have taken the lead by now.
Now, with the ball right in front of him again, Jesus didn't hesitate for a moment and went straight for the shot, his movements lightning-fast.
But, once again, Courtois was there to deny him. This time, Courtois blocked the ball with his left leg, making yet another impressive save!
Chelsea seized the moment—now it was their turn to counterattack!
Fabregas picked up the loose ball in midfield and, without a second thought, sent a swift pass forward.
The ball landed perfectly at Hazard's feet!
Returning from an injury, Hazard was looking sharp tonight, especially when he had the ball on the left flank, where he could use his dribbling skills to full effect.
Manchester City knew all too well how dangerous Hazard could be, so they quickly brought several players over to block him.
Delph and David Silva closed in to defend, but Hazard wasn't about to stop. With a quick flick of his right foot, he smoothly dodged past Delph.
Now facing Silva, Hazard faked a move, stopped suddenly, and left him behind before delivering a precise through ball!
In the blink of an eye, the ball was inside the penalty area!
And waiting to receive it was none other than Su Luo!
"Su Luo has it! Hazard's set him up beautifully!"
"How will he handle this? Will he shoot, or maybe pass?"
"Let's watch and find out!"
As Zhan Jun's voice filled the stadium, Su Luo stepped up to the edge of the box, preparing to shoot.
All of Manchester City's defenders knew how dangerous Su Luo could be, so both center-backs, Otamendi and Stones, immediately moved in to block him.
But just as they lunged in, Su Luo altered his shooting form, unleashing a sudden burst of power!
With quick precision, he weaved past both defenders and made his shot!
