After scoring, Großkreutz did not celebrate wildly, or rather, his celebration was different—he first opened his mouth wide, then covered his mouth with both hands, his eyes widened. He himself seemed unable to believe that he could score such a beautiful goal!
This may be the most beautiful goal of his career so far.
Zhou Yi ran up to celebrate the goal with him, also making a surprised expression, so the two of them stared at each other with the same surprised expression until other teammates swarmed up and overwhelmed them.
Zhou Yi's surprised expression certainly had an element of performance in it, but he was indeed very surprised. He didn't expect Großkreutz to turn this opportunity, which wasn't an opportunity at all, into a goal.
A small-angle, no-stop direct shot is known to be very difficult.
But even if Großkreutz’s goal was a fluke, it didn't matter. Thanks to him, Borussia Dortmund was only one goal behind with nearly half an hour left in the game.
※※※
“Großkreutz’s goal not only narrowed the score gap to one goal for Borussia Dortmund, but it also turned Zhou Yi's assist count for this season into twenty-one! Zhou Yi has shaken off Misimović and exclusively owns the Bundesliga single-season assist record!” Duan Xin announced excitedly after talking about Großkreutz’s goal.
No matter what, he is most concerned about the players from his own country.
※※※
The news that Borussia Dortmund had pulled back a goal also quickly reached Munich. This time, the radio commentator who claimed that God was a Munich native didn't know what to say. Großkreutz actually scored a super worldie, did God run off to Borussia Dortmund?
"Only one goal behind... but it's okay, even if Borussia Dortmund equalizes, we're still ahead of them..." Sammer said to Heynckes.
Heynckes was also quite disappointed with this result, but he didn't agree with Sammer's optimistic view: "There are still half an hour left, anything is possible. Have you forgotten the last game, Matthias? There were only a dozen seconds left, and Borussia Dortmund could still score. Now there are thirty minutes, enough time for them to do anything."
Sammer thought about it carefully and felt that what Heynckes said made sense. He had a very deep understanding of Borussia Dortmund's tenacity this season. Starting from being as many as twelve points behind Bayern Munich, they chased all the way to only two points behind, and then it was these two points that they clung to tightly. No matter how hard Bayern Munich tried, they could not shake them off, and they were eventually overtaken by Borussia Dortmund in a direct confrontation.
"Then..."
"Never mind them." Heynckes waved his hand. "Now we have to do our own thing. We can't control what the opponent does. Since we can't control it, don't worry about it."
He didn't want Sammer to be alarmed by news from Borussia Dortmund anymore.

Although Großkreutz's goal had an element of luck, such a beautiful worldie would definitely greatly boost the team's morale.
After he scored, Borussia Dortmund's morale was greatly boosted, and they regained control of the situation on the field.
And threatened Wolfsburg's goal in various ways.
Wolfsburg, who looked aggressive in the first half, could only retreat across the board at this time, hoping to hold on to their one-goal lead.
But at this time, the situation was no longer under their control.
At this moment, Wolfsburg's characteristic of having no desires and no demands was finally reflected—facing Borussia Dortmund players who were almost desperate and grabbed every opportunity to the end, Wolfsburg players were a little overwhelmed.
In the seventieth minute, Klopp replaced Sven Bender with Marc again to continue strengthening the attack.
In the seventy-seventh minute, Reus received a pass from Gündoğan and shot low near the penalty spot, the ball窜scooting into the goal along the turf.
"Reus! Borussia Dortmund equalizes! 3:3! They still have time to win this game!"
After scoring, Reus originally planned to rush into the goal to get the ball, but Lewandowski was faster than him. Without celebrating at all, he rushed into the goal directly with the football, and then before anyone could react, he fished the football out of the goal, held it in his arms, and turned around to run back.
At this time, he waved his fist to celebrate.
Seeing Lewandowski's move, Reus also ran back. Behind him, Hummels was loudly reminding everyone to come back so that the game could continue immediately.

Although Heynckes said not to let Sammer tell him any more news from that stadium, it didn't mean that he really didn't know what was happening there. Because it wasn't just Sammer who was paying attention to Borussia Dortmund's away game against Wolfsburg. Almost all Bayern Munich fans at the Allianz Arena were multitasking.
When Großkreutz scored, there was a sporadic boo from the stands.
After Reus equalized the score for Borussia Dortmund, the boos at the Allianz Arena were no longer sporadic. Bayern Munich fans couldn't care less about whether the sudden boos would cause trouble for their own players.
For a time, the Allianz Arena was filled with boos.
The Bayern Munich players who were playing in the stadium were stunned for a moment, but they quickly realized what had happened—most likely, Borussia Dortmund had equalized the score.
Someone looked up at the big screen, which showed the time of the game.
Seventy-eighth minute, twelve minutes away from ninety minutes, plus stoppage time, there might be fifteen minutes.
Fifteen minutes... enough for Borussia Dortmund to score another goal, right?
Why is Borussia Dortmund's life so tough this season?!
Many Bayern Munich players were indignant.
※※※
Borussia Dortmund, who equalized the score, were in high spirits, almost besieging Wolfsburg's half with indiscriminate bombardment.
Although the scene was very exciting, it also made Borussia Dortmund fans very nervous—they had come back from two goals behind, if they still couldn't win in the end and only got a draw, what a loss that would be!
Marcel Reif joked: "I think at this time Bayern Munich fans must be eager to help Wolfsburg block the goal..."
The tense and exciting mood lasted until the eighty-fourth minute.
Zhou Yi was controlling the ball in front of Wolfsburg's penalty area and was immediately surrounded by two Wolfsburg players.
Although he was deep in the encirclement, Zhou Yi was not flustered. His thighs didn't seem to move at all, and his calves didn't seem to either. He just flicked his ankle and picked the ball with his toe, and the ball flew past the shoulder height of Wolfsburg player Makoto Hasebe, who was blocking in front of him.
At this height, Makoto Hasebe could actually lean sideways and tilt his head to head the ball out, at least to make the ball deviate from its original trajectory.
But Zhou Yi's pass was too concealed and too sudden. His thighs and calves hardly moved, and he relied on the strength of his ankle. Without any warning, the ball had already appeared next to Makoto Hasebe, so how could he react?
The ball flew past the side of Makoto Hasebe's head and into the penalty area behind him.
And in that place, Marc Wagner appeared on time, and then used his chest to cushion the ball that Zhou Yi had picked over. Then, before the ball landed, he directly swung his foot and volleyed!
The ball drew a parabola, bypassed the crowd in the penalty area, and then plunged straight into the back corner of the goal!
Goalkeeper Benaglio jumped up and reached out to save, he touched the ball!
But Marc's shot was more powerful than he expected! Although he touched the ball, he couldn't change the trajectory of the ball.
The ball only deviated slightly, and then flew into the goal!
"Marc!! This goal is so crucial! Regaining the lead for Borussia Dortmund! Eighty-fourth minute! This is a very key goal! Borussia Dortmund has scored in the final moments of two consecutive games! Can this simply be attributed to good luck? No! This is the embodiment of Borussia Dortmund's never-give-up spirit!" Marcel Reif shouted excitedly.
After scoring, Marc ran excitedly to Zhou Yi, who passed the ball to him.
No matter where he was, Zhou Yi could always find him and pass the ball over.
He hugged Zhou Yi tightly.
"This is Zhou Yi's twenty-second assist of the season, and he is continuing to break his own record!" Duan Xin said happily.
Other excited Borussia Dortmund players also rushed up and surrounded the two of them, celebrating the goal.
And Wolfsburg players stood beside them dumbfounded, only able to watch.

At the Allianz Arena, Shaqiri had just rewritten the score to 2:0 for Bayern Munich.
The fans' cheers and the players' celebrations had not ended for long, and the atmosphere was still relatively relaxed.
But at this moment, a huge and ear-piercing boo suddenly sounded in the stands.
The players on both sides, who had just restarted the game, were collectively stunned for a moment, but they quickly realized what had happened—Borussia Dortmund had overtaken the score.
Heynckes heard Sammer next to him sigh heavily.
The Munich radio commentator no longer said anything like "God is a Munich native tonight," the fLAg was set up too well...
After saying it in the last game, Borussia Dortmund was killed in the dying seconds. He said it again in this game, and as a result, Borussia Dortmund once again quasi-killed Wolfsburg in another stadium...
He secretly reminded himself that no matter what happens in the next game, he must never say anything like God is a Munich native again. He even worried whether his blasphemous behavior had angered God, causing continuous punishments to befall Bayern Munich...
