Players are Doku and Walker, Doku originally went to clear the ball, but he made a mistake in route selection, he was chasing the ball to the first drop point, but the ball will still bounce a little bit outward after landing, and Sun has noticed this situation so he immediately chose to go around the outside, the result is that the two collided when they contacted the ball, at this time Sun was very agile with his head to point the ball forward, and then accelerated! Doku was directly shrugged off, and finally Sun made a single stroke to the right side of the penalty area and shot a high-speed low ball to break the goal!

This counterattack is very beautiful, Doku's judgment on this kind of back to the ball is wrong, Sun's mastery of space and the way to handle the ball is very beautiful, the result is that Doku's speed is obviously very fast, but after two people contact, but let Sun turn into a one-touch goal!
