As the players from both teams took their positions on their respective halves, the referee blew the whistle to restart the match.

Raul turned and passed the ball to Su Bai behind him. Instead of immediately passing it on, Su Bai charged directly towards Frankfurt's backfield with the ball.

Facing Frankfurt's forward Rode, who rushed at him, Su Bai, whose ball control had reached 80, remained calm. With a deft touch of his right foot, he nudged the ball to the left. As Rode lunged to his left, Su Bai swiftly tapped the ball to the right with his left foot.

In an instant, the quick left-right shift left Rode completely off balance. Easily bypassing Rode, Su Bai continued his aggressive advance.
