Fighting with One Less Man! A Three-Man Double-Team Targeting Su Bai!

Just as the two sides were about to erupt into a full-scale brawl.

The referee finally came rushing over, whistle in hand.

With the referee stepping in.

The players from both sides were quickly separated.

Pablo Perez and Ponzio each received a yellow card.

However!

The turning point in the match's atmosphere began with those two yellow cards.

Boca Juniors had a midfield free kick.

Pablo Perez did not blindly loft the ball forward.

Instead, he passed it directly to Su Bai on the right.

After receiving the ball, Su Bai slowed the tempo. Once defensive midfielder Barrios came up, he passed the ball to him and immediately made a forward run down the right flank.

Barrios carried the ball forward, trying to link up with his midfield teammates.

But River Plate forward Boye gave Barrios no such chance.

He flew in with a vicious sliding tackle.

Barrios went straight down.

Xie Luotuo went crazy on the sidelines.

He rushed up to the fourth official and furiously berated River Plate's player for the brutal foul.

The referee's whistle sounded at just the right moment.

Boye!

He, too, received a yellow card.

The team doctors hurried over. After a long stretch of treatment, Barrios finally got back to his feet, grimacing in pain.

The match continued!

"The referee's standard is way too lenient!"

"In that situation just now, he should've sent someone off with a straight red! Both teams are already playing with real anger now!"

"Su Bai needs to be careful!"

"For the time being, he'd better not carry the ball too much. Those River Plate guys really dare to go in hard!"

Watching the increasingly wild fouls on the pitch, Huang Jianxiang suddenly grew worried.

He did not want to see another talent like Wang Chu fall before his time.

Especially a player like Su Bai, who relied on speed and physicality.

One serious injury could very well erase him from everyone's sight for good!

At Monumental Stadium!

The match had reached the 34th minute.

The score was still 2:0!

Boca Juniors had quickly established their advantage with Su Bai's lightning-fast opening assault.

But over the following twenty-plus minutes.

The match had completely turned into a showcase of fouls from both teams.

Boye received a yellow card for tackling Barrios.

Before long, Barrios, who never let himself suffer a loss, got his revenge during a River Plate attack.

The same kind of tackle, only this time he went in even harder than Boye had.

The referee symbolically handed out another yellow card.

Seeing the referee's standard of officiating.

The players from the two teams, bound by generations of hatred, immediately sought out their old enemies to settle the score!

In the 28th minute of the match!

River Plate's left midfielder Vangioni directly kicked down the charging Martinez during a defensive play!

For that foul, the referee did not even pull out a card, merely giving Vangioni a warning.

How could Martinez possibly swallow that?

Just moments ago!

When he saw Vangioni preparing to send another diagonal ball from a forty-five-degree angle, Martinez slid in from behind.

Blinded by rage, Martinez's tackle struck Vangioni right on the ankle of his planted foot.

Even Su Bai felt a little sorry for Vangioni when he watched the replay.

With that kind of force, Vangioni was probably done for the season!

This time!!!

The referee showed no mercy.

Red card!!!

Martinez, his head burning with rage, grabbed his own head when he saw the referee pull out the red card.

He regretted it.

Boca had the advantage right now.

With him sent off, Boca would immediately be down to ten men against eleven.

But the one consolation was that Vangioni had been carried off on a stretcher!

On the sidelines!

Xie Luotuo looked utterly stunned as Martinez was sent off.

He wanted to rush over to the fourth official and protest, but Almeida quickly stopped him.

In this situation, going over to complain would only bring trouble upon himself for no reason.

"Boca Juniors are in trouble now!"

"This Boca left winger was a little too impulsive!"

"You're two goals ahead. You just need to play steadily and win the match, but now look what happened!"

"They're a man down, and they're away from home. The lead Su Bai worked so hard to build might be wiped out at any moment!"

Huang Jianxiang could only shake his head helplessly as he watched the situation on the field.

Su Bai was even more speechless.

Martinez had always been hot-tempered.

Now it was ten against eleven. This match was going to be hard to play.

Sure enough!!!

Boca, down a man, conceded before halftime as River Plate pulled one back.

In the forty-third minute of the match, River Plate broke through the middle. After drawing in Boca's entire defensive force, Chiarini decisively slipped a diagonal pass to Els, the substitute who had just come on down the right!

From the edge of the penalty area, Els unleashed an outrageous outside-of-the-boot strike and sent the ball into Boca's net.

1:2!

River Plate pulled one back!

At halftime.

Inside Boca Juniors' locker room, Xie Luotuo's furious roaring continued for a full fifteen minutes.

A perfect situation had been ruined just like that, sending Xie Luotuo, who had been all smiles before, into a full-blown hysterical rage.

Other than Su Bai!

He cursed out every other player on the field one by one!

And the most pitiful one was Martinez, who had returned to the locker room early.

Xie Luotuo spent five minutes tearing into everyone else, while at least ten of the remaining minutes were devoted to Martinez.

As soon as the second half began!

Boca Juniors were the first to make a tactical change.

Su Bai dropped back into the right midfield position.

Ezequiel Benavidez moved to the left, replacing Martinez.

"This is about the only option they have!"

"With Su Bai dropping back, his job isn't just attacking anymore! Defending against Romero on the right is basically his responsibility now."

"Of course, judging from the first half, Su Bai shouldn't have any major problem defending Romero."

With a one-man advantage!

The River Plate fans, who had been lifeless before, came alive again.

The flares in the stadium were lit once more.

Romero seemed to regain his confidence as well because of the numerical advantage.

Once the match restarted, he charged straight at Su Bai, who was carrying the ball forward down the right.

But against the slender Romero, Su Bai didn't make any unnecessary moves at all.

Just one change of direction.

Then he used his body, driving his shoulder directly into Romero!

Su Bai didn't even need to exert himself as he brutally crushed past Romero.

"What were you thinking?"

"You're not even in the same weight class. Throwing yourself at him like that is just asking to get steamrolled!"

In the livestream booth, Huang Jianxiang burst out laughing as he watched the foolish Romero charge straight at Su Bai!

And now!

Su Bai began his usual one-man run down the flank.

"Stop him!! Hurry!!!"

On the sidelines, River Plate's head coach panicked as he watched Su Bai charge down the wing once again.

During halftime, he had specifically arranged tactics to deal with Su Bai.

Sure enough!

After hearing their coach's shout—

Chiarini, Rodriguez, and Ponzio!

All three River Plate players rushed toward Su Bai at once!

A three-man trap!!!

In the stands!

Hanks watched Su Bai's surging run with intense focus!

A three-man trap.

He wanted to see exactly how this Chinese prodigy, who had left him astonished, would deal with being surrounded by three men.
