During the subsequent corner kick, after Sneijder delivered the ball, it directly found Chen Zhong within the penalty area. Chen Zhong's header was deflected, and as he squeezed past nearby defenders, he poked the ball before the goalkeeper could secure it, striking it directly at the goalkeeper's face. Chen Zhong gritted his teeth, chased the ball from the side, and attempted to score with a sliding kick.
The ball arced through the air, and the retreating Kartuis blocked it with his body.
Raul clutched his head with both hands, Robinho sighed, Baptista grimaced, and Van Nistelrooy, seeing the reactions of the other players, merely gave Chen Zhong a cool look while muttering under his breath, possibly thinking, "If it were me, I would have scored that damn goal."
