Porto is the most successful team in the history of Portuguese football in the past 20 years. It was the heyday that it had won five consecutive championships in the 1990s, but it stretched the timeline to the starting point. Then the reputation of the most successful club in Portuguese football history is naturally on Benfica.

As of today, the honor of winning the Portuguese top football championship 32 times represents that in the nearly 80 years of professional football in Portugal, Benfica has written nearly half of the history of nearly half of it!

If Porto started his career with the South American legion to achieve glory, then Benfica and Sporting Lisbon from the capital are definitely the pillars of Portuguese football for many years. The most famous star in Portuguese football history, Eusibio, the Black Panther, started his legendary journey from Benfica at the age of 18. The famous modern stars Rui Costa and Simon also came from Benfica youth training, while Figo and C Ronaldo's two generations of superstars came from Sporting Lisbon. Porto has made a lot of contributions in recent years, but Deco and Pepe have finally become the backbone of Portuguese football as naturalized by Brazilians, not produced in youth training.

As time goes by, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon have also gone with the flow and have increased the foreign aid corps, and the team's star players are also mainly South American corps.

Portugal is only the size of a palm after all, while South America is a vast world. In terms of resources, Portugal's local production cannot withstand the cost-effectiveness of imported products.

Benfica is a guest at the Municipal Stadium Challenge Leader Braga!

The titles put out by the Portuguese media to exaggerate the atmosphere before the war were enough to excite Braga fans!

It sounds like the sound of nature!

32 champion Benfica comes to challenge us!

Benfica fans are nicknamed the Red Devils because their home color is also red, but today they will wear white clothes away to avoid being confused with the color of Braga's home jersey.

The capital fans were naturally a bit arrogant. When they came to the Municipal Stadium and sat in the visiting team stands, they were actually a corner of the front stands, and the middle part was mainly Braga fans.

But Benfica fans didn't mind. The groups were like a spectacular group, shouting in unison to cheer for the team, ignoring what Braga fans were doing.

When the starters of both teams entered the court, Braga fans began to create a deafening momentum!

Tang Hong, who debuted as the starting lineup, is still full of energy today, so he will naturally adjust his condition to the best to face this key battle.

This is a fierce battle to fight the top of the Portuguese Super League!

Yartim shook hands friendly with Benfica coach Joe Jesus before the game.

The coaching changes of Portugal are frequently made in this acre of three-point land. Jessus coached Braga three years ago. Unfortunately, it was only one short season. Unexpectedly, the coach who was fired by Braga back then is now leading the Portuguese Super League King.

In a warm and passionate atmosphere, the starters of the two teams held a handshake ceremony before the kickoff on the court.

"Good evening, everyone, everyone, welcome to the top battle in the Municipal Stadium in the 10th round of the Portuguese Football Super League!

Leader Braga faces Benfica, who ranks second in the league!

The cool weather in Braga tonight is perfect for players to play in a better shape, and we have reason to look forward to a wonderful game.

Braga made a big splash this season, ranking first in the Portuguese Super League with an unbeaten record of 8 wins and 1 draw. Even Benfica and Porto were left behind by them.

But can they keep the top spot today?

If Benfica cannot be defeated, then Porto may overtake. If Benfica wins, Benfica will also jump to the top!

At the same time, there is also a contest between the top two scorers on the Portuguese Super League scorer list.

Tang Hong, who is the top scorer list, has scored 15 league goals, while Cardozo, who is ranked second, has 6 league goals, which is a far cry from the data. However, we must admit that Tang Hong's performance is phenomenal, and whether it can continue will be a question.

Now let's take a look at the starting lineup of both teams.

Braga, who is at home, starts at 433.

Goalkeeper: Quim.

Defenders: Bayano, Eveton, Coelo, Ezijegile.

Midfielder: Custodio, Barbosa, Amorin.

Forwards: Viana, Lima, Tang Hong.

Benfica also started 433 today.

Goalkeeper: Artur Morris.

Defenders: Maxi Pereira, Louisson, Gare, Emerson.

Midfielder: Xavi Garcia, Aimal, Bruno Silva.

Forwards: Gaitan, Cardozo, Vitsel.

Judging from the arrangement of the two teams, there will be a battle of dragons and tigers in the Municipal Stadium today!”

The fans waved flags and shouted for their respective teams with anticipation, and the scene was spectacular.

The two coaches seem calm and serious, but in fact they are under a lot of pressure.

Yartim wants to continue on the victory track, while Joe Gessus wants to kick Braga off the top spot!

There are only two non-three major leagues in the history of Portugal’s top league. Even in the middle of the season, it is rare for non-three major leagues to lead the standings.

Braga's momentum is naturally unacceptable to the three giants.

A stronger opponent will bring about a more complex offensive situation. Tang Hong has long been aware of this. Today's game will inevitably be full of challenges, and he is full of fighting spirit!

The game officially kicked off with the referee's whistle.

At the beginning of the game, Braga launched a strong attack on Benfica's defense line.

When Tang Hong was controlling the ball from the left in the frontcourt, the midfielder Xavi Garcia and full-back Maxi Pereira formed a pincer attack on him.

The former is an excellent midfielder in the Spanish Middle Ages. In the Portuguese Super League, he is definitely one of the top three midfielders. Although he is not a defensive engineer, his defensive strength is definitely stronger than that of ordinary players.

Right back Maxi Pereira is the main force of Uruguay. Not only is she experienced, she is also very different from traditional European full-backs in style.

Neither of them robbed, but occupied a favorable position to limit Tang Hong's breakthrough, which would give their defense line time to adjust defensively.

But Tang Hong could not control the ball and remained in place. Seeing that there was no good opportunity, he did not force it. He knocked the ball across to Barbosa who was inserted. The latter immediately passed the ball diagonally on the right. Viana cut from the side to the middle, plucked the ball across the cross, and then hung the ball towards the left rib of the penalty area.

Tang Hong cut in the run at the right time, but the ball was headed by 190 cm tall Louis Song in the left rib of the penalty area.

Since the ball has not exceeded the top, there is no need for Tang Hong to compete with the tall Louis Song, after all, it is not the one who does this job.

Turning around to go back to defense, Benfica's offense and defense switch was very fast.

Bruno Silva took the ball from the middle of the backcourt and sent a direct pass.

The clown Aimal received the ball in the middle circle and turned around and connected to the ball. The ball was snatched by Balbosa, who was robbed on the right. Amorin immediately intercepted the ball from the front. Aimal made a precise pass to the ground and sent the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

Gaitan quickly cut inside and led the ball to the middle of the penalty area.

Custodio rushed towards him immediately, and when he was one meter away from Gaitan, the latter took the ball and sent it to the middle of the penalty area.

Paraguay striker Cardozo hit the ball with a slanted strike from Eveton and Coelho.

After getting the ball, he immediately turned around and inserted into the empty area behind Eveton.

Belgian star Witsel has gradually replaced the rabbit Saviola as Benfica's main force. He is not a pure winger. His characteristics of an all-rounder make him deeply loved by Joe Gessus.

This time he cut inside to the left side of the penalty area to receive the pass from Cardoso without hesitation and sent out a straight pass.

The football rolled to the left side of the penalty area.

It happened to be the area where Cardoso was inserted obliquely, and the tacit understanding of passing and cutting between them was just a very conventional expression.

Cardozo turned around and shot in half, giving Eveton no chance to defend and put out the fire.

Quim is moving towards the near post, but the football flies to the far corner!

Quim stopped urgently and then turned back and jumped to fly. He was only a little far from his left hand to hit the football, but in the end he failed.

The moment the football flew into the far corner of the goal, the game started less than 1 minute!

Benfica's entire midfield attack group worked together to complete the goal that was the first to win the game!

Cardozo roared loudly and rushed towards the corner kick area closest to the visiting fans!
Chapter completed!
