Ultimately, the football slowly crossed the line and came to a complete stop less than ten centimeters inside it.
This goal was really a stretch.
But... it was indeed a genuine goal.
Beep!
With a whistle, the referee pointed to the center circle, signaling the goal was valid!
The Benfica players had no time to complain before the referee blew the whistle again, short-short-long, and the match ended!
The referee had given Benfica a chance to prevail, but they did not seize it.
Conversely, he gave Deng Kai a chance, and Deng Kai seized it.
Three goals, a hat-trick!
Deng Kai became the youngest scorer in the history of the Portugal Cup and the youngest to complete a hat-trick!
