In the 71st minute of the match, Ma'el intercepted Sidwell's football during a chase-back, turned around, and began sprinting to break through, launching an attack on the opponent's defense.
After Zhu Lu left the field, Arsenal's offensive threat up front was not significantly impacted. He and Van Persie were players who could take on multiple defenders, and breaking through three or four was not without chance.
But most importantly, his departure stirred the fighting spirit of Fulham's players, disrupting Arsenal's midfield and backfield, which was quite troublesome.
"Thump thump thump...!"
Ma'el attempted to break through the opponent's midfield defense, but seeing a sideways pass was more convenient, he kicked the ball to Sagna who was charging forward, and then directly sprinted past the opponent's midfield line.
Sagna took the ball and sprinted all the way to the baseline, sending a cross to the middle.
