Sending Inputs via code does not release the "keypress"

I am programming a small AI for a multiplayer game so that it can be played in single player mode. For this I want to generate the inputs a human player would do via code, so that I don’t have to reprogram the player2 scene. The code looks a bit like this:

onready var input = InputEventAction.new()

func _process(delta):
  input.pressed = false
  if (player2_needs_to_move_left):
    input.action = "PLAYER2_LEFT"
    input.pressed = true
  elif (player2_needs_to_move_right):
    input.action = "PLAYER2_RIGHT"
    input.pressed = true
  Input.parse_input_event(input)

This works fine, until the player has to change directions. For example if player2 starts to move to the left and then needs to move to the right, the PLAYER2_LEFT action keeps beeing pressed and additionaly PLAYER2_RIGHT is also being pressed.

How can I get the code to “release” the input, once it is done
