”Puskás Award incoming! 27 goals in a single season!!”

”This newcomer is on fire!”

”1-1! Bayer Leverkusen successfully equalized!”

”That’s right! VfL Wolfsburg’s home strength is indeed formidable! But as long as Lance is there, he can turn the tide!”

1-1!

VfL Wolfsburg’s morale, which they had painstakingly built up, was shattered by Lance’s spectacular volley!

Lance’s equalizer before halftime was crucial!

Bayer Leverkusen could go into the second half with even greater momentum!

”Well done, Lance!”

”That shot was amazing!”

”Lance, you are my God!”

In the locker room, the excited Bayer Leverkusen players surrounded Lance, like stars orbiting the moon.

Sascha Lewandowski and Sami Hyypi? were also thrilled.

”Alright, guys, we can’t let Lance carry the team alone, can we? Everyone else needs to step up!”

Drawing on the tactics board, Hyypi? briefly emphasized the key tactical points for the second half.

Back on the field, Kevin De Bruyne found that Bayer Leverkusen had transformed into a completely different team.

In the first half, they had been so pressured that they could barely cope, and if not for a bit of bad luck, VfL Wolfsburg would have been up 3-0.

But Lance’s goal abruptly halted VfL Wolfsburg’s attacking momentum, while Bayer Leverkusen played with increasing vigor, their resilient defense stabilizing the backline, and occasionally launching high-quality counterattacks relying on the cooperation between Lance and Son Heung-min!

”Lance exceptionally passed to Son Heung-min!”

”Son Heung-min’s powerful shot from outside the box!! Just barely over the crossbar! A good attacking attempt...”

”...Bayer Leverkusen steals the ball again!! Lars Bender through ball to the middle!”

”Lance! Pass to the right wing!! Julian Brandt!!”

”Starting today, he’s very active on the right wing! Overtaking on the outside—”

”Cross!! Kiessling!!”

”Couldn’t head it in, just missed...”

”...VfL Wolfsburg’s attack is also very sharp, Kevin De Bruyne!!”

”This ball was brilliant, but his teammate didn’t make a timely run, otherwise it would have been a clear one-on-one chance!”

”Now it’s Bayer Leverkusen’s turn to counter! Pass to Lance!”

”Lance!! A shot from outside the box? No! It’s a through ball!! Pass again to Julian Brandt!”

In the second half, VfL Wolfsburg and Bayer Leverkusen played an open, expansive game, with both sides going for an all-out attack!

The fast-paced transitions between offense and defense kept both home and away fans on edge!

Kevin De Bruyne and Lance, one a wide attacking midfielder, the other a number 10 involved in link-up play, both could pose a sufficiently deadly threat to the opponent, and both were also members of the Belgium National Team!

Therefore, the broadcast camera focused on the stands, specifically showing Belgium National Team coach Marc Wilmots.

Watching two Belgian newcomers shine, along with talented players like Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku in the team, Marc Wilmots couldn’t stop smiling!

The Belgium Football Association did well to exceptionally secure Lance, and facts would prove their choice was correct!

”In this clash between KRC Genk former teammates, both sides are giving their all, wanting to help their respective teams win the match.”

”Both sides have had many good chances!”

”Not much time left in the match, it just depends on who can gain the upper hand and lead their team to victory...”

Commentator Berenberg’s words had not even finished, when in the 71st minute, Lance stepped up!

Bayer Leverkusen’s sharp counterattack reached the attacking third, with a long pass to Kiessling!

Kiessling headed the ball down, and Lance happened to make a late run from behind!

His god-tier first touch allowed him to subtly flick the ball with his left foot, a clever combination of control and dribbling, chipping the ball over VfL Wolfsburg defender Naldo!

Naldo, at the top of the box, was half a beat slow in turning, allowing Lance to easily break into the penalty area!

Seeing goalkeeper Diego Benaglio rush out, Lance subtly flicked his ankle, delivering a masterful chip shot!

The ball sailed over the goalkeeper, brushing the underside of the crossbar before dropping into the net!!

”Lance—that goal was so elegant!! The area in front of the box is simply his stage!”

”What is football artistry? This is artistry!”

”In the clash of the KRC Genk twin stars, Lance takes the lead!”

”1-2! VfL Wolfsburg suffers a bitter comeback!”

”Bayer Leverkusen’s prodigy scores a brace, netting his 28th Bundesliga goal!!”

”It looks like the 30-goal mark is simply a breeze for him!”

At 16 years old, 30+ goals in the Bundesliga, this is absolutely an incredibly terrifying statistic!

Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1991 and the reunification of the Bundesliga, no one has scored more than 30 goals!

Now, Lance has the chance to become the first player to score over 30 Bundesliga goals since the reform of German football!

Facing two unstoppable goals, VfL Wolfsburg, playing at home, completely gave up resistance.

Kevin De Bruyne, due to his aggressive pressing, eventually ran out of stamina and was substituted.

Lance was also substituted by the coaching staff for a rest in the 79th minute.

Recently, the team has developed ”Lance dependence”; the 16-year-old kid has practically become the team’s MVP.

The coaching staff values him greatly and would never risk him playing too much and getting injured.

With both teams’ key players off the field, their attacks lost their threat.

The final score was set at 1-2!

”Full-time! VfL Wolfsburg, after conceding first, was overturned by Bayer Leverkusen, who scored two goals to win!”

”Lance scored a brace, on the verge of breaking the 30-goal mark! His performance today was simply perfect!”

”Recently, we’ve seen this scenario far too many times!”

”We initially thought that young Lance’s transfer here was for him to ride on Bayer Leverkusen’s coattails. Unexpectedly, it’s the other way around; Bayer Leverkusen has started to rely on Lance! The 16-year-old player is forced to carry the team! Currently, on the Bundesliga table, Bayer Leverkusen continues to closely pursue Bayern Munich... The Bundesliga title suspense will likely remain for a long time!”

”Looking at Kevin De Bruyne in the VfL Wolfsburg squad, his performance was actually very outstanding; he lost with honor.”

”Almost 80% or more of VfL Wolfsburg’s attacks came from Kevin De Bruyne!”

”After he left the field, VfL Wolfsburg could no longer produce any decent attacks! This Belgian player also has unlimited potential...”

...

”Belgian Twin Stars Dominate Match, VfL Wolfsburg Suffers 1-2 Comeback by Bayer Leverkusen”

”Winning Streak! Lance Maintains Undefeated Record in Starting Appearances!”

”Bayern Munich’s True Challenger! Can Bayer Leverkusen Topple the Overlord’s Reign This Season?”

VfL Wolfsburg was considered the strongest opponent among teams ranked 3rd to 6th, and with even VfL Wolfsburg defeated, the entire Bundesliga was astonished!

Thus, looking across the Bundesliga, only Bayer Leverkusen remains capable of challenging ”Overlord” Bayern Munich for the title!

However, the match between Bayer Leverkusen vs. Bayern Munich is still a long way off, and until then, it seems both teams will continue their current form.

...

After defeating strong rivals VfL Wolfsburg, Bayer Leverkusen didn’t rest for a moment.

They boarded a flight to London Heathrow Airport!

The Champions League Round of 16 second leg, Arsenal vs. Bayer Leverkusen, will kick off at the Emirates Stadium!
