In the 18th round of China's first division soccer league, Suzhou Dongwu welcomed their city rivals Wuxi Wu Hook at home. The match was not only a battle of strength and strategy between the two teams, but also a test of will and perseverance for both players.
At the beginning of the game, both teams seemed to be very cautious. Although the transition between offense and defense on the field was fast, there were not many real threatening attacks. However, as the game progressed, Suzhou Dongwu gradually found the rhythm of the game, and through accurate passes and tacit cooperation, they continuously attacked the goal of Wuxi Wu Hook.
In the 30th minute, Suzhou Dongwu had a valuable penalty kick opportunity. Brazilian Leonardo Silva stepped up and calmly walked towards the penalty spot, took a deep breath, and fired a powerful shot into the lower right corner of the goal, which could not be stopped despite the efforts of the Wuxi Wu Hook goalkeeper to save the ball. Suzhou Dongwu took a 1-0 lead with the penalty kick.
After the goal, Suzhou Dongwu's morale was boosted and they continued to maintain their high intensity offense, while Wuxi Wuhu was a little bit impatient and failed to hit the target with several attempts of long-distance shots. As time went by, just when the fans thought the game would end with this score, Suzhou Dongwu gave us another surprise.
In injury time, Suzhou Dongwu got a free kick opportunity in front of the goal. Zhang Lingfeng stood in front of the ball, calmly observed the situation on the field, and then suddenly kicked the ball and hit a stone-cold world wave straight into the corner of the goal. Although the goalkeeper of Wuxi Wu Hook made a save, but the angle of the ball was too tricky, so he could only see it into the net. Zhang Lingfeng's free kick not only sealed the victory for Suzhou Dongwu, but also became one of the highlights of the game.
Finally, with the referee's whistle, the match was over. Suzhou Dongwu defeated city rivals Wuxi Wu Hook 2-0 with a penalty kick from Leonardo Silva and a free kick world wave from Zhang Lingfeng at the second reading.
