The match resumed, but Real Madrid looked even more fired up. They immediately pressed Barcelona high up the pitch, catching them off guard and quickly winning back possession.
In the second minute, David Silva was on the left side of the thirty-meter area. He sent a diagonal pass toward Yang Yang on the left flank.
Yang Yang pulled out to an open spot on the wing and brought the ball under control, coming face-to-face with Alves, who had moved over to defend him. After a stepover, he feinted an inward cut, tricking the Brazilian right-back into stepping across to block him. Then he suddenly cut the ball back and sprinted toward the byline at full speed.
After bursting through a gap, Yang Yang quickly crossed into the penalty area with his left foot.

Ibrahimovic raised his thumb at Yang Yang from a distance, clearly very satisfied with the pass.
