Capítulo 655: A Stunner from Over 35 Meters Out

The game restarted at the Luzhniki Stadium with Ivory Coast holding onto the delicate 2-1 lead against England, keeping the crowd in suspense. 

The Ivorians, keen to protect their advantage, immediately tried to dominate possession, passing the ball around and attempting to run down the clock. But the English players, rejuvenated by their recent goal, were relentless. They swarmed the Ivorians like vampires after smelling blood, pressing high and hard, leaving no time for leisurely play.

Even the English forwards—Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy, and Marcus Rashford—joined the effort, running tirelessly to win back possession. England was going all out, and their persistence paid off when they forced the Ivorians to play a high ball towards England's territory. 

Harry Maguire was calm and collected as he received the long ball and controlled it perfectly. He passed it to Jordan Henderson, who in turn found Dele Alli.
