After having played for 16 minutes, 何辉超 managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. 山东济宁掘金's supporters crossed their fingers, but 何辉超 was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.

The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Slovakia. If Metod Mlynar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 38th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 58th minute, Metod Mlynar hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 61 minutes into the match, Slovakia's goal looked a bit too open when 何辉超 came free, but Henrich Slany reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Henrich Slany didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for 山东济宁掘金.
