After the match, with two goals and one assist, Lu Yang was named Man of the Match.
The other players also gave him very high praise in their interviews.
Zidane: "There's nothing much to say. Applauding for peace is what I should do. The Italy Team is incredible, they accomplished something unbelievable, they have immense spiritual strength, and they fought with everything they had for peace!"
Now this is what you call the art of language.
They accomplished something unbelievable!
What was that?
They pulled level with the France Team.
On the surface this sounds like a compliment to the Italy Team, but in fact it's raising the France Team to a ridiculous height.
Of course, Zidane wasn't lying either; from the run of play the France Team were indeed hugely dominant.
If it hadn't been for France's bad luck, the score should have been five-three, instead of the Italy Team taking a point.
For Italy, this result exceeded their original target.
