At the crucial moment when Mahrez took his shot, goalkeeper Caballero reacted swiftly.
Just in time—
Caballero managed to deflect Mahrez's shot with his right hand!
The score remained 2-1.
Despite being Chelsea's second-choice goalkeeper, Caballero's performance was still exceptional.
Shortly after—
Leicester City continued their relentless attack on Chelsea's goal.
Among their players, the one in the best form was Iheanacho.
As Leicester's forward, Iheanacho was clearly overshadowed by Vardy tonight.
So—
Deep inside, he was determined to make his mark and put pressure on Chelsea's defense.
In an effort to get more touches on the ball, Iheanacho began dropping into midfield to receive passes.
This time—
After gaining possession, he didn't immediately pass the ball to his teammates. Instead, he chose to take matters into his own hands.
Iheanacho's athleticism was outstanding.
Using his speed, he charged forward, executing dazzling feints that made it difficult for defenders to contain him.
And just like that—
Iheanacho successfully dribbled past Kanté!
That's right.
With a sudden change in pace, Iheanacho managed to bypass Kanté with ease—an incredible feat.
The very next second, Iheanacho broke into Chelsea's penalty area!
At this moment—
The first half had entered stoppage time.
So!!
For Iheanacho, finding the perfect shooting opportunity was now critical!
Without hesitation, he swung his left foot—then, in one fluid motion, unleashed a powerful shot!
In an instant—!!
The ball rocketed toward the goal!
This was pure individual brilliance from Iheanacho.
To be honest, at this moment, almost none of Chelsea's ten outfield players could keep up with his speed.
And just like that—
The ball flew straight into the net!
The score was now 2-2.
Back to square one!
At the same time, the referee blew the whistle, signaling the end of the first half.
At that moment, the entire King Power Stadium erupted!
Tens of thousands of fans chanted Iheanacho's name in unison.
It was clear—Iheanacho had become the savior of Leicester City.
No one was more ecstatic than head coach Pierre.
He was overjoyed, celebrating as if Leicester had already won the match. Standing on the sidelines, he clenched his fists and waved them wildly, letting his emotions flow freely.
In the Qiaoqiu.com live broadcast room, commentator Zhan Jun shouted into the microphone with pure excitement:
"What a stunning goal! Absolutely brilliant!!"
"At the very last moment of the first half, Iheanacho pulled off a miracle! With this spectacular strike, he found the back of the net!"
"The score is now 2-2! The two teams are level again!"
"I never expected Leicester City to perform so well at home tonight! This completely disrupted Chelsea's rhythm!"
"If Chelsea wants to secure a win, Coach Conte must make the most of halftime to find a way to put more pressure on the opposition!"
Meanwhile, in the live chat of the broadcast—
Many Chinese fans were expressing their frustration over the current scoreline between the two teams.
