The He Lan Country had increased their score.
The Helan fans in the stadium let out deafening cheers of celebration.
With a two-goal lead, they could already see victory beckoning to the He Lan Country.
According to the situation of the group stage, as long as they successfully took down Senega, the following matches would be much easier.
There was a high possibility of them advancing from the group stage!
In other words, they were likely to advance to the semifinals!
He was one step closer to the uncrowned king reaching the top again!
Thinking of this, the Helan fans let loose even more and celebrated crazily.
Meanwhile, Seneca was in a gloomy mood.
The fans did not blame the players, because they knew that the players were fighting hard and had already worked very hard.
The difference in strength was a problem. Mane was being watched too closely, and their lack of firepower was also a problem.
Beep!
With the whistle of Jiang Ning, the match continued.
Senecca holds the ball.
It could be clearly felt that the Seneca players were a little anxious after conceding two goals.
Whether it was the speed of advancement or the number of troops invested in the attack, they had all increased.
"Mane! Mane! Ma Nei!"
At this time, the fans of Senega also organized themselves and called Mane's name.
They knew very well that in this situation, the only person who could stand up and save the team was Mane!
When Mane heard the fans 'call, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly!
In the next few minutes, Senika controlled the ball well and maintained its offensive against Helan.
He Lan Country seemed to be planning to maintain their current advantage and drag the match to the second half.
Entering the second half with such an advantage would have a huge impact on the deployment of tactics and the morale of the opponent!
Thus, the already strong defense of the He Lan Country became even more ferocious.
Soon, the first half of the regular game time was about to end.
Jiang Ning made a 'four' gesture to the assistant referee, indicating that there were four minutes of added time in the first half.
Senega's offense was still fierce. In the last few minutes, they invested a lot of troops. The players from both sides crowded into the Helan half.
Especially in the last four minutes, it was almost the most intense offensive and defensive battle in the entire first half!
The fans on both sides were shouting crazily, and the sound waves were getting louder and louder!
It was the last minute of the first half!
"Ma Nei!"
At the last moment, after Diata and his teammates cooperated, they finally broke through the defense line!
Diata shouted. He raised his leg and was about to pass the ball to Mane, who was looking for an opportunity in the middle!
However, at that moment, the Helan Country players 'eyes turned vicious!
Because Diata had successfully shaken off the defenders, it was impossible to intercept Diata's pass now!
Therefore, since he could not stop the pass, he would take Mane down!
He Lan Country's advantage must be preserved until the second half!
At the thought of this, the defender closest to Mane pretended to be blocking the way and then knocked Mane down from behind!
And most importantly, when the football was not at his feet, or when the football was not passed over, even if he violated Mane, there was a high probability that he would not get a card.
Why?
The reason was simple. It was not important!
Because this kind of foul did not directly interfere with the offense!
This was also the reason why this defender still dared to make a move even though he had a yellow card on him!
In addition, he even pretended to be blocking the way. He could totally use the excuse that this was an accident!
Thinking of this, the defender couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Isn't Jiangning very awesome?
What can you do to me with this kind of foul?
Whoosh!
Seeing that Mane was knocked down again, the fans could not help but look nervous.
Especially when he saw Mane stumble to his feet even though he had fallen. His heart ached even more when he saw that all he could see was the football!
Some of the female fans had tears in their eyes as they shouted," No!" They could not bear to see Mane being bullied like this.
There were even female fans who begged in the direction of Jiangning!
"Referee, please, can you save Mane?”
"How unfair! What did he do wrong again? Referee, we need your fair judgment!”
At this moment, a male fan sighed and said to them,"
"Don't shout. The referee probably won't make a decision because the ball hasn't been passed out yet.”
"Ordinary referees won't blow their whistle."
Beep!
However, before he could finish speaking, Jiangning's whistle had already sounded!
Jiang Ning quickly ran over and took out a yellow card under everyone's shocked gazes!
Immediately after, the yellow card was put away and the red card was shown!
This meant that two yellow cards accumulated in a single game would be counted as a red card and would be directly sent off!
It was also commonly known as 'two yellows turned into one red'!
This Helan defender was forcefully sent off by Jiang Ning!
Whoosh!
Everyone was shocked, and then there was an uproar!
Those who understood football and those who didn't were all shocked!
The Senega fans were pleasantly surprised!
"Did he hear my prayers just now?”
Male fan: " No, I take back what I just said. He is a fair referee and deserves the respect of fans all over the world!”
He Lan Country's head coach was furious and immediately rushed to the fourth official to complain!
"It's too serious! It's too vile!"
"He's making a random decision! The football was not even at his feet. It was just a physical confrontation. What right did he have to make a penalty?”
"I will definitely file a complaint against him! The Fifa would definitely expel him!!”
In addition to the manager, the players from Helan Country also surrounded him.
They argued with Jiang Ning and tried to use the excuse of physical confrontation to make Jiang Ning take back the penalty.
Only Ma Nei's body froze on the spot!
He looked at Jiang Ning in shock, his eyes shining with an indescribable light. That light was gratitude and respect!
Mane knew very well that the referee would normally turn a blind eye to this kind of foul. At most, he would give a verbal warning.
However, Jiang Ning had made the decision!
It was exactly what he had said,'In this arena where I enforce the law, there is no room for darkness!'
Only then did Mane truly realize that he was not just saying it, he really meant it!
He looked at Jiang Ning, who had a cold expression, and muttered to himself.
"Referee Jiangning!"
"Perhaps, I can really trust you.”
"Then, let's wait and see in the second half!”
