Xie Luotuo, Punished to Appear! Boca's Final Counterattack!!!

"Oh! My God!"

"Murder!"

"Blatant murder!"

"Tucuman Athletic brought Su down at the Candy Box Stadium with their usual crude foul!"

"Oh, God!"

"From the replay, we can clearly see that Bilalva was targeting Su's planted foot!"

"Damn Bilalva, he has insulted football!"

"He doesn't deserve to stand on the sacred turf of the Candy Box Stadium!"

At the commentary booth by the sidelines!

As a diehard Boca supporter, Dennis was already beside himself with rage.

Right in front of him.

Boca's head coach, Xie Luotuo, had already rushed up to the fourth official, furiously protesting everything that had just happened on the pitch.

However!

Just when everyone thought Bilalva would be sent off with a red card.

The referee instead pulled out a yellow card for the culprit, Bilalva.

At that moment!

A deafening chorus of boos suddenly erupted throughout the Candy Box Stadium.

Countless fans raised their middle fingers at the referee on the field!

"A yellow card? Are you kidding me? That kind of malicious foul only gets a yellow?"

"Mr. Referee! Are you sure you're not joking?"

"Damn Bilalva, that was attempted murder! You son of a bitch!"

Su Bai's teammates had already charged at Bilalva like madmen.

Yet Bilalva wore an innocent expression.

"I didn't do it on purpose! I was going for the ball!"

All of Tucuman Athletic's players rushed over and stood in front of their captain.

Just as the players from both sides were on the verge of an all-out brawl!

The referee promptly blew his whistle and wedged himself between them.

He glanced at Bilalva!

"Don't try to test my limits again!"

Hearing the referee's warning, Bilalva, having gotten away with it, hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Under FIFA's officiating standards!

A tackle from behind was a foul as long as it caused the opponent to fall or impeded his movement. A tackle from the front or side, however, was not a foul if the ball was touched first—provided the foot stayed close to the ground and there were no additional dirty actions.

Bilalva had been far too crafty just now. Though he had clearly meant to injure Su Bai, he had anticipated Su Bai's run before sticking out his foot, and he had come in from the side.

So the referee's decision was not entirely without basis.

In the referee's eyes, Su Bai had simply been unlucky.

"Damn referee, is he blind? How is that only a yellow card?"

After seeing the final decision, Xie Luotuo, standing before the fourth official, could no longer suppress his fury.

However, his remarks not only failed to change the referee's decision.

They instead prompted the fourth official to relay Xie Luotuo's words to the referee through his earpiece.

As a result, the referee strode over and showed a red card to Xie Luotuo, who was still ranting nonstop.

Still cursing, Xie Luotuo was escorted into the stands by the staff!

"This is an unbelievable match!"

"Our Boca has received such unfair treatment in our own home stadium!"

Dennis was practically furious beyond words.

The fans in the stadium began to stir as well.

Quite a few radical supporters had already started throwing lit fireworks onto the pitch!

Trash and other debris rained down even more heavily.

On the field!

Barrios and Boca's other players surrounded Su Bai.

The team doctor also rushed over carrying a stretcher.

They knew that with a foul of that severity, Su Bai had surely been seriously injured.

But just as everyone began to sympathize with Su Bai...

Su Bai, who had been wearing a pained expression, suddenly sat up.

The marks left by the studs on his ankle were still clearly visible, yet Su Bai moved his ankle experimentally and stood right up!

"Su? Are you okay? Don't force yourself!"

The team doctor stared at Su Bai in astonishment.

Th-this guy was incredible. After a foul like that, he could still stand up?

After stomping hard on the turf a few times with his left foot...

Su Bai finally confirmed that he was completely fine.

The pain just now had been genuinely excruciating. It seemed that the system's newbie protection mechanism only prevented his ankle from being injured, while the pain itself remained completely real.

On the sidelines!

Magiar stared blankly at Su Bai, who had gotten back to his feet.

That fucking worked too?

He knew exactly how skilled Bilalva was at crippling opponents.

Predicting the planted foot and taking out the opponent's key player at the lowest possible cost—that was his specialty.

But unlike Magiar's disbelief, Xie Luotuo, who had been watching from the stands, finally let out the breath he had been holding.

He did not want the superstar he had worked so hard to discover to fall just like that.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

The referee also walked over to Su Bai and asked him.

"I'm fine, sir!"

Yet even as he said he was fine, Su Bai looked toward Bilalva, who stood some distance away with a mocking expression.

When Su Bai looked at him like that, Bilalva suddenly felt uneasy. A vague concern rose in his heart. From the looks of it, was that kid planning to pay him back?

After seeing that Su Bai was unharmed, the Boca fans in the stands gradually calmed down as well.

Once the staff had cleared the pitch, the match resumed.

In the 61st minute!

Boca Juniors won a free kick in a good attacking position.

Pablo Perez stood over the ball.

As Boca's free-kick specialist.

Pablo Perez struck a superb curling effort.

However, in his pursuit of the corner, the free kick eventually struck the crossbar and bounced out of play.

Tucuman Athletic goal kick!

Martin Hughes launched the ball with a long kick toward the area around the center circle!

Barrios leaped high into the air!

Before the Tucuman Athletic forward could jump, he headed the ball to Pablo Perez at his side.

From that moment on, the match began to fall into Boca Juniors' rhythm.

Bilalva's yellow card had too great an impact on Tucuman Athletic's defense.

They relied on fierce defending to stop Boca from penetrating through the middle, but now Bilalva did not dare make any excessive challenges because of his yellow card. Against the technically gifted Pablo Perez, he no longer held any advantage!

Boca's attacking players began their slick combinations!

In the 63rd minute!

After Pablo Perez feinted left and cut right beautifully to shake off Bilalva, he immediately rolled the ball sideways to Su Bai, who had come in from the right to offer support!

After breaking free from the Tucuman Athletic player beside him.

Su Bai did not make any adjustment at all!

His left foot smashed directly into the ball!

With a thunderous bang, the ball at Su Bai's feet shot up from the ground and rocketed toward Tucuman Athletic's goal!

"Su!!"

"A thunderous first-time strike from the edge of the penalty arc!!!"

"Ah, what a pity!"

"Su Bai failed to keep that shot down!"

"However, from that attempt, we can see that Su's left foot is indeed fine!"

Watching his shot sail high over the bar, Su Bai looked apologetically at Pablo Perez, who had just passed him the ball.

His shooting stat was still too low.

He still couldn't keep his long-range shots from outside the box under control.

But!

That shot had sounded the horn for Boca Juniors' all-out attack.

Meanwhile, Bilalva looked at Su Bai, who seemed completely unfazed, and his mind had descended into total chaos.

Was this guy even human?

After taking that kind of foul, he could still unleash such a violent shot as if nothing had happened?
