34th Minute – The Back-Heel
Tolói collected the ball deep in his own half under immediate pressure from Lecce's forward press, and rather than go long he played it short to Demien who had dropped all the way to the edge of his own box to receive, and two yellow shirts closed instantly because Lecce's game plan hadn't changed even with the lead.
Hjulmand came from the right, Blin from the left, both converging with aggressive body shapes designed to force a mistake or win the ball, and Demien's first touch took him slightly forward into the trap they'd set, his back to goal, both defenders closing the remaining space.
The back-heel came instinctive and perfect.
Demien's standing foot planted, his right heel flicked the ball backward through his own legs without looking, and Koopmeiners had already read the movement, his late run arriving perfectly as the ball rolled straight into his path ten yards away with space opening in front of him.
