世界杯小组赛：加拉萨开场闪电破门，巴拉圭十人死守一比零击败土耳其，土耳其射门三十余次仍遗憾出局

说它让人印象深刻，是因为这场比赛，有两个非常特别、也非常极端的地方。

It was striking because this match had two very special, and very extreme, features.

第一，巴拉圭的那粒进球，来得快得惊人；第二，土耳其全场射门次数极多，最终却一个球都没能打进。

First, that Paraguay goal came astonishingly fast; second, Turkey took a huge number of shots all match, yet in the end couldn't score a single goal.

赛前，对土耳其来说，这是一场无论如何都必须拿下的比赛。

Before the match, for Turkey, this was a game they had to win no matter what.

此前，他们已经在小组赛中输掉了一场，如果这一场再度落败，那么他们就将提前被淘汰、黯然出局。

They had already lost a match in the group stage, and if they lost this one again, they would be eliminated early and bow out in dejection.

正因为如此，土耳其上下都格外渴望能够赢球，全队也因此承受着巨大的心理压力。

For exactly this reason, all of Turkey were especially desperate to win, and the whole team thus bore enormous psychological pressure.

而他们此役的对手巴拉圭，则是一支来自南美洲、以防守见长的球队。

Their opponent for this match, Paraguay, is a team from South America known for defending.

他们身体强壮、作风顽强，打起防守反击来非常老练，从来都不是一个好对付的对手。

Physically strong and tenacious in style, and very seasoned on the counterattack, they have never been an easy opponent.

对巴拉圭来说，这场比赛同样意义重大，他们也渴望能够拿到宝贵的三分。

For Paraguay, this match carried great significance too; they too longed for the precious three points.

然而，谁也没有想到，这场比赛的胜负走向，几乎就在开场的那一瞬间，便被悄然决定了。

However, no one expected that the direction of this match would be quietly decided almost in the very instant of kickoff.

开场仅仅一分钟左右，巴拉圭就突然发动了一次快速而致命的进攻。

Only about a minute in, Paraguay suddenly launched a quick and deadly attack.

他们的球员加拉萨抓住了这稍纵即逝的机会，迅速完成了射门，皮球应声飞入网窝。

Their player Galarza seized that fleeting chance and finished swiftly, the ball flying into the net.

一比零，巴拉圭在比赛才刚刚开始的时候，就出人意料地取得了领先。

One to zero — Paraguay, right as the match was just beginning, had unexpectedly taken the lead.

据说，这粒进球，也是本届世界杯到目前为止，进球速度最快的进球之一。

They say this goal is also one of the fastest goals of this World Cup so far.

对土耳其来说，这个开局简直可以用糟糕透顶来形容。

For Turkey, this opening could only be described as utterly terrible.

他们本来就背负着必须赢球的沉重压力，如今却在开场仅仅一分钟，就早早地陷入了落后。

They were already carrying the heavy pressure of having to win, and now, just a minute in, they had fallen behind early.

在取得领先之后，巴拉圭很快就摆出了他们最为擅长的防守姿态。

After taking the lead, Paraguay quickly settled into the defensive posture they do best.

他们全队迅速退防，用密集的人数和顽强坚定的意志，牢牢地守护着自己的球门。

The whole team rapidly dropped back, guarding their goal with packed numbers and tenacious, steadfast will.

他们的计划非常清晰：只要守住这一球的领先，就能够拿下这场比赛，甚至有可能提前锁定一个出线的名额。

Their plan was very clear: as long as they held this one-goal lead, they could win the match, perhaps even lock up a qualifying spot in advance.

而落后、又必须取胜的土耳其，则几乎别无选择，只能不顾一切地向前发起猛攻。

And Turkey, behind and needing to win, had almost no choice but to throw everything forward in a fierce assault.

于是，在那粒早早的进球之后，接下来的整场比赛，几乎完全变成了土耳其一方的单方面进攻。

So after that early goal, the rest of the entire match became almost a one-way attack by Turkey alone.

他们传中、远射、二次进攻、一个接一个的角球，几乎用尽了所有能够想到的进攻手段。

They used crosses, long shots, second-ball attacks, and one corner after another — nearly every attacking method imaginable.

整场比赛下来，土耳其的射门次数极其惊人，据相关的统计，竟然多达三十多次。

Over the whole match, Turkey's shot count was staggering — by the relevant stats, as many as thirty-something.

能够创造出如此之多的射门机会，足以说明土耳其其实踢得并不差，无论是控球还是进攻，都占据着明显的优势。

Creating so many shooting chances is enough to show Turkey actually didn't play badly, holding a clear edge in both possession and attack.

从场面上来看，他们甚至可以说，完全压制住了自己的对手。

By the run of play, you could even say they completely suppressed their opponent.

然而，足球比赛真正算数的，永远都是进球的数量，而绝不是射门的次数。

However, what truly counts in soccer is always the number of goals, never the number of shots.

一支球队哪怕踢得再漂亮、再占优，只要始终把握不住眼前的机会，那么到最后，也依然很难赢得比赛。

No matter how beautifully or how dominantly a team plays, if they keep failing to take the chances in front of them, in the end it's still very hard to win the match.

尽管土耳其一次又一次地发起冲击，巴拉圭的整条防线，却始终稳如磐石、岿然不动。

Though Turkey attacked time and again, Paraguay's entire defensive line stayed rock-solid and unshakeable throughout.

而他们的门将，更是在比赛中表现神勇，接连做出了好几次至关重要的扑救，一次次把土耳其的希望挡了回去。

And their goalkeeper was especially heroic in the match, making several crucial saves in a row, turning back Turkey's hopes again and again.

有那么几次，土耳其的射门已经无限接近破门，却最终都与进球擦肩而过，差的，往往就只是那么一点点。

A few times, Turkey's shot came infinitely close to a goal, only to brush past in the end, missing by just that little bit.

看台上的土耳其球迷，一次次满怀希望地从座位上站起，可随后，又只能一次次失望地坐了回去。

The Turkey fans in the stands rose from their seats full of hope time and again, only to sit back down disappointed each time.

而更让这场比赛充满戏剧性的是，到了下半场，占尽人数优势机会的巴拉圭，却反而还少了一个人。

And what made this match even more dramatic was that in the second half, Paraguay — who had the chance of a numerical advantage — were instead even down a man.

他们的一名球员因为一次犯规，被裁判出示红牌直接罚下了场。

One of their players was shown a red card by the referee and sent straight off for a foul.

也就是说，巴拉圭在场上，最后只剩下了十名球员，而且无法再换人补上。

That is to say, Paraguay had, in the end, only ten men left on the pitch, with no way to replace him.

按理说，少打一人，会让球队的防守变得更加困难，土耳其的机会，似乎也因此变得更多了。

By rights, being a man down makes a team's defending more difficult, and Turkey's chances seemed to grow as a result.

然而，令人意外的是，少打一人的巴拉圭，反而守得更加顽强，场上的每一名球员，都把自己拼到了极限。

However, surprisingly, a man down, Paraguay actually defended even more tenaciously, with every player on the pitch pushing himself to the very limit.

时间一分一秒地流逝，占尽场面优势的土耳其，却始终无法攻破对方那看似摇摇欲坠、实则坚不可摧的球门。

The minutes ticked by, and Turkey, who dominated the run of play, still couldn't break that seemingly tottering yet truly impregnable goal.

最终，比赛以一比零的比分结束，巴拉圭就靠着开场的那一粒闪电般的进球，赢下了整场艰苦的比赛。

In the end, the match finished one to zero, and Paraguay, thanks to that lightning goal at the start, won the whole hard-fought match.

对巴拉圭来说，这无疑是一场无比宝贵、也无比顽强的胜利。

For Paraguay, this was undoubtedly an immensely precious and immensely tenacious victory.

他们在少打一人的不利情况下，依然死死地守住了自己的球门，这份坚韧与斗志，实在令人由衷地佩服。

A man down and at a disadvantage, they still grimly held their goal, and that resilience and fighting spirit are truly admirable.

而对土耳其来说，这却是一个相当痛苦、也相当难以接受的结果。

And for Turkey, it was a rather painful, and rather hard-to-accept, result.

他们全场射门多达三十多次，却一个球都没能打进，最终只能饮恨出局。

They shot as many as thirty-something times all match, yet couldn't score a single goal, and in the end could only bow out in bitter regret.

输掉这场关键的比赛，意味着他们提前被淘汰，本届世界杯的征程，也就此画上了句号。

Losing this crucial match meant they were eliminated early, and their journey at this World Cup came to a full stop.

对土耳其的球员和球迷来说，这无疑是一个令人心碎、难以入眠的夜晚。

For Turkey's players and fans, it was undoubtedly a heartbreaking, sleepless night.

比赛结束之后，人们的讨论，也自然而然地围绕着这场比赛展开。

After the match, the discussion naturally centered on the game.

有人感慨，足球有时候就是这么残酷：你明明踢得更好、射门更多，却不一定就能够取得胜利。

Some sighed that soccer is sometimes just this cruel: you clearly play better and shoot more, yet you don't necessarily win.

也有人对巴拉圭的防守赞不绝口，认为他们在少打一人的情况下还能守住胜果，实在是太了不起了。

Others praised Paraguay's defending to no end, marveling that they could hold on to the win even a man down — truly remarkable.

其实，这恰恰正是足球这项运动既有意思、又最为残酷的地方：能不能进球，往往要比你射了多少次门，重要得多。

In fact, this is exactly the interesting, and most cruel, part of the game of soccer: whether or not you score often matters far more than how many times you shoot.

这场比赛也在提醒着所有的球队：在世界杯这样的赛场上，进攻的效率，往往要比场面上的优势更加关键。

This match also reminds every team: on a stage like the World Cup, attacking efficiency often matters more than dominance in the run of play.

对巴拉圭而言，这场胜利，让他们在通往出线的道路上，稳稳地迈出了关键的一步。

For Paraguay, this victory let them take a firm, key step on the road to qualifying.

而对土耳其来说，尽管这一次遗憾出局，但他们在场上所展现出来的努力与拼劲，依然值得人们的尊重。

And for Turkey, though they bowed out to their regret this time, the effort and fight they showed on the pitch still deserve people's respect.

一场一比零，既有巴拉圭的顽强与坚韧，也有土耳其的努力与遗憾，而这，正是世界杯独有的魅力与残酷。

A 1-0 — the tenacity and grit of Paraguay, and the effort and regret of Turkey; and this is the unique charm and cruelty of the World Cup.

好了，这就是这场土耳其对巴拉圭的全部故事，我们下期再见。

Alright, that's the whole story of this Turkey versus Paraguay match; see you next time.
