"In the last 10 minutes of the game, Sevilla was ready to give it a try. They started to press from all fronts."
"Most of the players here at Leeds United retreated to the penalty area, preparing to defend the score."
"Sevilla need two goals, otherwise they can't prevent Leeds United from reaching the last eight of the UEFA Cup."
"The two teams that met in the finals last year met early this year in the top 16, giving us two exciting games."
The commentator is working hard to explain the second leg of Leeds United's home game against Sevilla.
A week ago, Leeds United tied with Sevilla 2-2 away from home.
Back at home, in the 12th minute of the first half, Leeds United quickly counterattacked and used the ball from the backcourt. Van der Sar directly assisted Smith to score a goal.
And this score remained until the 80th minute of the game.
Now Sevilla has no other way, they must score two goals and prevent Leeds United from scoring again.
Of course, scoring two or more goals is a prerequisite, and not allowing Leeds United to score is an additional condition.
Even if the score is 1-1 today, Leeds United will still enter the next round with the advantage of more away goals.
On the field, Sevilla's Alves took the ball on the right and moved forward. He just wanted to use his speed to get rid of Smith's defense, but failed. Instead, he played a one-two with teammate Puerta before passing Smith.
But Smith still kept chasing after him. Alves looked back at the Leeds United captain and found that the opponent was about to catch up with him and wanted to speed up.
But when he turned his head back, he saw that Baynes in front had already started to tackle and slid over from the ground in front.
Alves stopped suddenly and tried to dodge.
But it was too late, the ball was scooped away by Baynes in front of him.
Rolling towards the sideline, Alves no longer intends to chase the ball. He wants to wait for the ball to go out of bounds before serving the sideline ball.
But Baynes did not give up, and quickly got up from the ground and went to the sideline to save the ball.
When the ball was about to go out of bounds, Baynes fell to the ground again to tackle and try to save the ball.
Bynes succeeded, but Bynes also didn’t succeed.
The ball was saved, but it still crossed the sideline when he kicked it forward.
The linesman raised his flag to signal Sevilla's throw-in.
Baynes got up for the second time and retreated to defend.
"NICE!" Smith gave a thumbs up to his little brother, quite agreeing with Baynes's hard work.
"Bah bang bang~, beautiful, keep putting down the ball." The scene that happened in front of him also made George Li very happy, and the entire team showed a positive performance.
Don’t be arrogant when you win and don’t be discouraged when you lose. Of course, they have not lost in the league or the UEFA Cup.
This team is now focused on maintaining the first place in the league and then defending the UEFA Cup.
Alves picked up the football on the sideline and prepared to throw the ball quickly, but no one from the Sevilla players came up to respond.
Paulson and Renato ran a whole game and were a little exhausted. They didn't want to come over to catch the ball and just held their knees in the distance. Maresca, who came on the bench, was stuck behind De Jong and had no chance to catch the ball.
Alves took two steps back and wiped the football with his Qiu Yi. I want to throw it hard into Leeds United's penalty area.
Kanoute and Marti were waiting to receive the ball in the penalty area.
The ball was smashed forward and upward by Alves, flying towards the Leeds United goal.
Kanut struggled to lean on Matteisen behind him, not giving him a chance to take off, and then thought about stopping the ball himself to launch an attack.
But it can only be said that Kanoute was overthinking. Matthiessen was not the only one in the Leeds United penalty area. Van der Sar jumped up from behind the two of them and grabbed the ball before Kanoute.
"Fight back!"
Van der Sar took the ball and shouted at his teammates in front.
The two central defenders, Mattison and Woodgate, both moved forward and came to a parallel position with Parker in the back midfielder.
The two full-backs, Bynes and Charlotte, who came on the field in the second half, moved to both sides.
Seeing that Leeds United was about to counterattack, Sevilla's players began to retreat quickly to prevent being attacked. The defenders took their positions in the backcourt one after another, especially the two full-backs who had just stepped in and ran towards the backcourt.
However, this scene was seen by Van der Sar. He gave up the idea of counterattack immediately. When there was no interference from the Sevilla striker around him, he slapped the football on the ground twice. After looking around again to make sure there was no one else, he threw the ball to Charlotte on the wing.
At the same time, he also made a downward movement with his hand towards Charlotte, indicating to control the rhythm of the game. Van der Sar was afraid that this young player would lose the ball in a moment of enthusiasm and ruin the situation.
But Charlotte Black was obviously young and mature. Seeing that Sevilla's players were not coming up, she slowly pushed the ball forward a little bit.
It was not until midfield that he encountered Malti's attack.
Seeing that Marty was coming up, Charlotte moved her right foot and pretended to pass the ball long. Malti began to slow down and prepared to take off to block the ball.
Unexpectedly, Charlotte dunked the ball past Malty, trying to pass him by.
After Marty landed, he quickly turned around to see Charlotte.
But he was fooled again. Instead of breaking through, Charlotte pretended to exert force and deceived Malty again.
The ball was passed by Charlotte to Woodgate, who passed to Parker.
Leeds United controlled the game unhurriedly and wanted to use up more time.
And the more this happens, the more anxious Sevilla becomes.
Finally, under the constant urging of the coach, everyone rushed forward again, ready to fight to the death.
Kanoute, Marty and Maresca behind him all stepped forward and found Woodgate, Matthiessen and Parker one by one, denying them a chance to pass the ball to each other.
The two wingers Puerta and Renato were also stuck on the path of Leeds United's two full-backs receiving the ball.
The midfielder stepped forward and the full-backs shrank into the middle, surrounding Leeds United's De Jong and Milner, preventing them from receiving the ball.
It seemed that all Leeds United's ball routes were blocked, but they forgot that there was one last person on Leeds United's defense.
Parker passed the ball back, and Van der Sar, who had already arrived outside the penalty area, received the ball calmly.
In this case, Sevilla's formation can only improve again to grab Van der Sar, otherwise everything they have done before will be in vain.
As soon as Kanoute rushed through Leeds United's defense and was going to press Van der Sar, he saw Van der Sar take off.
Like the goal in the first half, Van der Sar played the ball directly to the wing.
It's just that in the first half, the ball was given to Smith to the left. And this time it was to the right for Kuyt.
Kuyt, who is known as the "unbeatable" player, has been running for nearly 90 minutes, but he still has plenty of physical energy and can steadily unload the ball on the wing.
Because Sevilla's left back went to defend in the middle, the wing defense was empty.
Kuyt strode forward all the way to the penalty area.
A cross passes between Sevilla's goalkeeper and centre-back to the back post.
Smith was already in place and succeeded in pushing the shot into the empty goal.
2 to 0.
There was no suspense. The Leeds United captain scored twice to completely kill all Sevilla's hopes of advancing to the next round.
