If the Croatian National Youth Team really strengthens its attack in the second half of the game, it means that the Indian National Youth Team's chance has come.
Time passed very quickly and before we knew it, the halftime break was over and players from both sides returned to the field.
"The two sides shook hands and agreed to a 0-0 draw in the first half, but I believe both sides want to win, so the second half will definitely be exciting," Sanjay Banerjee commented.
"The best player of the India National Youth Team in the first half was undoubtedly Anirudh Thapa. He did not disappoint us, with brilliant performances in both offense and defense."
Sanjay praised Thapa. Thapa gained another loyal fan in this game.
"But if the India National Youth Team wants to win, it is absolutely impossible to rely on Thapa alone."
"Also, Thapa fought too hard in the first half. Although he is in good physical condition, he just played a game two days ago. Coupled with the intensity of the first half, his physical condition will definitely be affected. So in the second half of the game, other Indian players need to step up."
. . . . . .
Neil on the sidelines looked at the situation on the field and was also worried about Thapa's physical fitness. Although he had good physical fitness, it was not yet at the top level.
Thapa played a crucial role in this game. If he couldn't hold on, the midfield of the Indian National Youth Team would collapse directly, and it would be extremely difficult to defeat the Croatian National Youth Team.
Therefore, it is best to score at least one goal in the first half part of the second half, and then try to hold on to the victory as much as possible.
But Neil overestimated the Indian National Youth Team's defense. In the 51st minute, the Croatian National Youth Team got a corner kick opportunity.
Adhikari had to defend the opponent's header at the back point, but the Croatian team's penalty kick happened to be at the front point, where Mohammed Kaif happened to be, and Kaif was the first to touch the football.
Kaif wanted to head the ball away, but he missed the target and the ball was not cleared too far, but was instead cleared to the opponent's player.
The football happened to be headed to the opponent's core player Falleta. Faced with this great gift, Falleta volleyed the football directly with his right foot.
Rohit Ramesh, the goalkeeper of the Indian National Youth Team, had never expected such a thing to happen and did not even look at Falleta.
Rohit didn't even make a save before the football flew into the goal.
The Croatian National Youth Team temporarily leads 1-0!
"The ball goes in! The Croatian National Youth Team scores the first goal!" Sanjay announced the score.
"The Indian National Youth Team's defense did a good job in the first half of the game, but the defense made mistakes just as the second half began." Sanjay explained with a look of disappointment.
Neil was standing on the sidelines. Before that, Neil was thinking that after Croatia stepped up its attack in the second half, the Indian National Youth Team could take the opportunity to score a goal.
But Neil did not expect that the Indian team actually lost the ball. Neil closed his eyes in disappointment, but soon he came back to life and gestured to the players, indicating that they should attack with all their strength.
At this time, whether it was the spectators on the sidelines or the audience watching the live broadcast, they were all very disappointed to see that the Indian team fell behind, and some even started cursing.
After the Indian National Youth Team fell behind, the players knew they had to strengthen their offense.
In the 58th minute, the Croatian team launched an attack and the ball was suddenly passed into the penalty area. Neil couldn't help but become nervous when he saw this.
Fortunately, Adhikari was still on the line, and before the opponent received the ball in front, he kicked the ball out with the arch of his foot.
Neil originally wanted to blame the players on the field, but the players of the India team quickly launched a counterattack, and soon the India National Youth Team overwhelmed the opponent outside the penalty area.
But there was no way to pass the ball into the penalty area, so Gomez had no choice but to come out of the penalty area to receive the ball.
Gomez was directly hit by the opponent's central defender at the top of the arc outside the penalty area, and the referee's whistle sounded.
But because Gomez was already outside the penalty area, this was not a penalty but a free kick.
The Indian National Youth Team's free kick was two meters outside the penalty area, which is a pretty good position.
Rohan Singh, Anirudh Thapa and Yohaan Benjamin all stood in front of the penalty spot. It was unknown what they were communicating about. They were respectively behind, on the left and on the right of the football.
Suddenly, Yohaan Benjamin on the right ran towards the football. The Croatian players subconsciously thought that Benjamin was a cover and that he would definitely jump over the football because it was impossible for him to take the penalty kick in this position.
But suddenly Benjamin stepped on the football with his left foot. The Croatian players thought that the Indian team had made a mistake, and several players wanted to rush over.
But Benjamin pulled the ball behind him with his left foot, and at the same time Thapa started running towards the ball. [Just how Mbappe scored his first free kick for Real Madrid which was not considered a free kick because it was not from stationary position and the ball has been moved.]
This is a tactical corner kick. Thapa has the ability to take free kicks, and he also has the characteristics of a long-range heavy artillery, which makes Thapa's long shots more threatening.
Thapa kicked the football hard with his right foot. The players of the Croatian National Youth Team did not expect that the Indian team would handle it this way.
Moreover, Benjamin's pull caused Thapa's shot to deviate from the Croatian wall, and the ball drew a small arc and bypassed the wall.
Goalkeeper Klich also did not expect the Indian team's tactical corner kick. The football flew to the upper right corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Klich barely made a save, but it was of no use.
The Indian National Youth Team quickly equalized the score 1-1!
"The ball goes in! Tactical corner kick! Thapa helped the Indian National Youth Team quickly equalize the score!" Sanjay celebrated the goal excitedly.
"We still have to rely on Thapa! He scored a goal in each of the two games. Thapa is so outstanding!" Sanjay praised Thapa excitedly.
"I didn't expect Thapa to be able to take free kicks! He is truly an all-around warrior!"
. . . . . .
Seeing the Indian National Youth Team quickly equalize the score, all the Indian audiences at the scene cheered excitedly. The fans who were originally disappointed because the Indian team was lagging behind quickly became excited again.
In the last game, it was Thapa who helped the Indian National Youth Team score the first goal. In this game, when the Indian National Youth Team was behind, it was still Thapa who scored the first goal.
Thapa received a lot of praise for his last game. After this game, Thapa's popularity has undoubtedly increased.
After scoring the goal, Thapa rushed to the sidelines and made a pistol gesture with his hands. He first looked at his hands arrogantly, then put his hands back to his waist.
Thapa's celebration was very arrogant, but the audience didn't care and the cheers became even louder.
