You mean the match in which Lewandowski showed off his godlike skill? Of course! How could I miss it?
那真的是超扯的！下半场才替补上场，结果后来居然在九分钟内一人连进了五球！简直是神迹！

It really was amazing! He was only subbed on during the second half, then it turned out that within nine minutes he scored five goals in a row! It was simply miraculous!
而且又远射又凌空抽射的，最后还几乎完成了倒挂金钩，一球比一球震撼呐！
