Their opponent this time is Huddersfield Town, another English League One team.

Huddersfield Town was defeated by Southampton, especially when Southampton played better and better this season, Huddersfield Town can no longer be compared with Southampton.

Southampton has already secured the English Championship title, while Huddersfield Town is currently ranked fourth in the English Championship and will need to play in the play-offs with other teams to determine whether they can successfully impact the English Championship.

In this game, the media and bookmakers are more optimistic about Southampton.

After the players from both sides came on the field to warm up, the game soon began amid the cheers of 90,000 fans.

Southampton kicked off first.

Huddersfield Town adopted a 352 formation and took a defensive stance.

Huddersfield's two wing-backs, Kevin Kilbane and Anthony Key, both moved to the back line.

In the first ten minutes, both sides played cautiously and tested each other.

Southampton, under the instigation of Gu Ran's passing, launched three pleasing attacks.

Huddersfield also launched two good counterattacks through the movement of the wing-backs.

The two sides are currently evenly matched, but it is obvious that Southampton has more possession of the ball and Huddersfield focuses more on defense.

In the 13th minute, Gu Ran dribbled the ball along the middle, and with his body, speed and flexible footwork, he passed the interception of four defensive players of Ha Town and passed the ball to Chamberlain who cut inside. Chamberlain easily got the ball in the open space, then dribbled the ball to the left side of the penalty area and shot!

However, the ball hit the goal post.

The Southampton fans at the scene suddenly wailed.

Gu Ran's running and passing were so beautiful, but it was a pity that Chamberlain's ability to seize opportunities was still far from perfect.

The defensive players of Huddersfield were also sweating coldly. Their head coach Paul Stephenson stood in the technical area of ​​the visiting team and yelled at the players to keep the pressure on Gu Ran and not let Gu Ran pass the ball easily.

But, how could Ha Zhen and his gang stop Gu Ran?

In the 27th minute, Gu Ran dribbled the ball on the right side of the midfield and fooled three Ha Town defenders. When the defenders were not paying attention, Gu Ran passed the ball to the right and accelerated to the middle.

Schneiderlin took the ball on the right and dribbled down the field, then made a reverse triangle pass! Gu Ran, trapped by two tall central defenders, faced the flying football and flew into the air outside the penalty area, hooking the ball sideways!

The football was like an electromagnetically powered cannonball, bombarding the goal with overwhelming force! Huddersfield goalkeeper Alex Smithies leaped to save the ball! But he missed! The football went into the net, and the huge impact made the goal tremble!

The referee immediately pointed his finger and punched, indicating that the goal was valid!

On the big screen at Wembley Stadium, the game immediately changed to Southampton 1:0 Huddersfield Town! The Southampton fans watching the game cheered wildly, and the stands were full of jumping people and waving Saints flags! The Southampton players on the field also hugged Gu Ran and celebrated happily.

Being able to perform a bicycle kick in a major competition definitely requires very strong skills and mentality.

The game continues.

Huddersfield Town, which lost a goal, continued to strengthen its defense, and even the two forwards retreated to their own half to help the midfield to assist in defense and interception.

With a goal in hand, Southampton pressed forward without hesitation and launched a high-pressure defense against Huddersfield Town.

Huddersfield Town defended very hard.

They knew very well that this was an important competition, so they must not be reckless and must not be slaughtered by the Southampton team led by Gu Ran in the competition.

Right wingback Anthony Kay made a long pass to the frontcourt, and forward Jordan Rhodes immediately drove straight in and attacked alone!

This was a rare offensive opportunity for Huddersfield Town! Rhodes shot directly from a distance! However, the linesman had already raised his flag, indicating that Rhodes was offside in the position where he received the ball.

All the Terrier fans held their heads and lamented.

At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was temporarily fixed at 1:0.

Because Huddersfield Town adopted a bus-style defense, the first half was a bit dull.

But this does not affect the excitement of the fans.

In a competition final like this, looking good is secondary, winning the game is the most important thing.

After a 15-minute break, players from both teams returned to the field and continued the game.

Huddersfield Town continued to park the bus near their own penalty area. Their tactics were very clear. They wanted to use the same strategy that Southampton used against strong teams to deal with Southampton.

Southampton also adjusted its tactics in time when they were repeatedly unable to break through.

After getting the ball, Gu Ran no longer looked for cooperation from his teammates, but directly dribbled forward to a position more than 40 meters away from the goal, and used his dribbling and ball protection skills to repeatedly pull the defense line of Ha Town in the "corridor".

Once he saw the flaw, Gu Ran took a long shot! In the 59th minute of the game, Gu Ran's long shot was blocked by central defender Jamie McCombie with his calf. Lambert grabbed the first point in time, then touched the ball and passed it to Gu Ran again.

Gu Ran didn't stop the ball and volleyed it directly! This shot was too domineering! Alex Smithies, the "little dog" of Huddersfield, was helpless!

The ball went in! The score on the big screen immediately changed to Southampton 2:0 Huddersfield Town! Huddersfield Town, trailing by two goals, began to get anxious.

When they were one goal behind, they were still able to hold on to the end and look for opportunities to counterattack and equalize, but when they were two goals behind, their mentality was completely different.

As the game continued, Huddersfield Town began to try to counterattack through both wings.

However, the double defensive midfielder cooperation between Gu Ran and Mikel blocked Huddersfield Town's counterattack.

In the 74th minute of the game, Mikel tackled Huddersfield's Joey Gudjohnsen. After getting up, Gudjohnsen pushed Mikel violently. Mikel was not to be outdone and reached out to push Gudjohnsen.

Players from both sides quickly surrounded them and were about to engage in a fight.

Fortunately, the referee intervened in time and gave two yellow cards to each side, which calmed the incident.

Southampton won a free kick in the backcourt.

Gu Ran stood at the penalty spot, and most of Southampton's players stood near Huddersfield's penalty area ready to support.

Gu Ran made an accurate long pass from nearly fifty meters away and passed the ball into the air above the penalty area of ​​Ha Town.

Jaidi jumped high and headed the ball!

The ball went in! Southampton 3:0 Huddersfield Town! After scoring the goal, Jaidi opened his arms and rushed towards Gu Ran madly to celebrate!

This goal almost killed the suspense of the game! Southampton has seen the affectionate goddess of victory hooking her fingers!
