Lahm made a long pass, giving Bale plenty of space to run.
When Bale makes off-the-ball runs, let alone Ferreira, even Ashley Cole on the left might not be able to stop him!
As expected, Bale comfortably received the ball that was already rolling on the grass, about 10 meters away from Chelsea's penalty area.

Seeing that his teammates could no longer catch up, Cudicini decisively charged towards Bale.
Seeing Bale's center of gravity begin to shift to the right and his left foot already poised to shoot, Cudicini immediately fell to the ground and spread his arms to try to expand his defensive range.
