Benfica coach Jesus's concerns became reality.

If you simply think that Benfica's disadvantage in today's strong dialogue is just missing Aimal, an important midfielder who can be regarded as a master in the Portuguese Super League, then it would be too naive.

Braga played a defensive counterattack on the away game directly to determine that Benfica's defense line was under unprecedentedly huge pressure!

When Maxi Pereira has a yellow card, other players will help him restrict Tang Hong. In addition, Tang Hong's range of activities is large. Under Braga's counterattack attack, as long as Tang Hong touches the ball, the Benfica player closest to him will foul him!

Their fear of Tang Hong can no longer wait until Tang Hong makes a ball control change and then commits a foul. It is obviously easy to make it too late even if he wants to commit a foul!

When the injury stoppage time was entered in the first half, Tang Hong and Lima collided with each other and were in a forward turnaround and were obviously pulled by Louis Song, causing him to fall to the ground.

Louis Song was also shown a yellow card by the coach.

Add to the previous Maxi Pereira, Witsel and Xavi Garcia.

Tang Hong's offensive campaign in the left half of the frontcourt in the main activity area, all Benfica players were carrying yellow cards!

Tang Hong stood up from the ground and felt helpless. Benfica's fouls cost him a lot of shot opportunities.

This time he took the free kick directly in the left area in front of the penalty area. The football fell through a beautiful arc and then hit the crossbar and flew to the sideline, and finally left the sideline.

The audience was amazed, and the Braga fans were naturally extremely regretful.

Tang Hong clasped his hands together and swung his back and forth, showing a helpless smile.

At the end of the first half, Braga led by one goal away.

Benfica's offensive was in a quagmire and could not open the situation, making the home team fans anxious.

During the half-time adjustment, Yartim allowed the team to unswervingly fight back in the second half, and at the same time, he slightly retreated toward the center.

Braga's counterattack midfielder's quality of shots is still relatively low. If it can be improved, Tang Hong and Lima will have more opportunities.

The two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half. Tang Hong, who was energetic, quickly dribbled the ball on the side of the frontcourt at the beginning of the second half to advance the offense. Facing Xavi Garcia's cautious defense, the ball changed direction and cut into the middle, but was knocked to the ground by Gaitan, who was chasing him from behind.

The referee warned Gaitan in verbal terms and did not show a yellow card.

Many teammates in the backcourt were carrying yellow cards, and the forward line had a more important task to return to defense.

Benfica's offensive style has also changed in the second half, reducing its entangled confrontation with Braga in the midfield, and turning to the ball quickly from the wing. Rodrigo and Cardozo looked for a good opportunity to score in the penalty area, and midfielders Bruno Cesar and Xavi Garcia took turns to intervene.

In this way, Braga's defense line will experience danger from time to time, but at the same time, it can launch counterattacks more frequently.

In the 58th minute of the game, Bruno Cesar entered the penalty area and received a cross from the wing to Gaitan. His header was Taizheng and directly sent the ball to Quim's arms.

Quim immediately launched a counterattack, and the right defender Bayano ran forward along the side and received his hand throw. Viana followed up in the middle at the same time. When Bayano encountered Capdvilla, he decisively passed the ball diagonally in the middle.

However, Viana did not pass the ball again, but quickly dribbled the ball towards the right side to push the offensive.

Lima and Tang Hong quickly ran to the frontcourt. When Viana dribbled into the dangerous area of ​​the offensive, they stopped and pulled the ball back and dodged Capdevila who was returning to the defense and pursued. Then they looked at the situation in the penalty area and then kicked the ball on the spot.

The diagonal plunge of this foot crossed Louisson's head and fell to the left rib of the penalty area.

Tang Hong had already run into the position in a quick forward, but the football landing point was a little close to the bottom line, and goalkeeper Morris was completely blocked halfway through the attack.

Louis Song turned around and returned to defend and blocked Tang Hongruo's movement space after stopping the ball.

Tang Hong simply jumped and pushed the ball hard towards the middle area in front of the goal!

His move shocked Louisson and Morris. Morris hurriedly returned to the middle of the goal, but it was too late. Lima followed up and got rid of Vito's defense. Facing the flying football, he rushed to the ball and pushed the ball into the empty goal in front of him!

After scoring, Lima stood up and clenched her fists and shook her arms, while running towards Tang Hong. He took the initiative to kneel down on one knee, asking Tang Hong to put his feet on his thighs, and celebrated him with shoes.

"Lima headed the ball! Braga led Benfica 2:0 away!

Benfica still failed to curb Braga's counterattack. Viana's performance in this counterattack was very critical. He dribbled the ball and gave the two forwards sufficient running time and sent a key threatening ball at the right time. Tang Hong was not greedy in the penalty area. He could attack this ball by himself, whether it was a header or a stop to adjust it. With his technical ability, he could do it.

But he still chose to head the ball to Lima in the middle, which was the best choice!

Lima did not disappoint his teammates' efforts and simply headed the ball to expand Braga's lead!

Benfica is probably going to withdraw from the championship group!"

Benfica fans in the stands of the Stadium of Light were silent and expressionless.

In fact, with 6 rounds left in the league, the gap between 8 points behind the leader already means that their hopes of winning the championship will be slim!

But when hope is not completely shattered, everyone will still have expectations.

Now it's time to accept reality!

Barbosa ordered a glass of champagne in the private room, raised her legs and drank wine to watch the game. It was not only delicious, but also extremely refreshing!

He raised his wine glass in a decent manner.

This cup, to Braga's heroes!

Yartim breathed a sigh of relief and had the lead of two goals. He should not be sure to win this game, but it would not be worrying.

Benfica made a substitution. Cardozo, who was in poor form today, was replaced by Nolito, while Nelson Oliveira replaced Rodrigo.

It seems that the substitution of people in the opposite position does not mean to fight for life.

After losing the second ball, Benfica's rhythm dropped. It was obvious that he had to organize the offensive patiently. The quick-pull style just now did not work.

Braga needs to control the rhythm. The frequent schedules require high physical fitness. Tang Hong also reduces the frequency of sprints. Four days later, they will face Schalke 04 at home. Looking at the long run, it is likely to be able to pass Schalke 04 level and then usher in the semi-finals of the Europa League. Moreover, the next round of the top battle with Porto is interspersed in the middle!

After 70 minutes of the game, Yartim also made a substitution to end the game.

However, they did not take the lead in replacing Tang Hong. In such an important game, we should be careful of accidents. Keeping Tang Hong's deterrence will be more intuitive and effective than having the previous striker.

Lima was replaced by Salino. After Salino appeared, he ran to Tang Hong first and said to him: "Reduce consumption and be smarter. This is what the coach asked me to tell you."

Tang Hong smiled and Yartim even asked someone to pass on a message to him, really thinking he was a naughty person.

It’s not that he can’t see the change in the team’s overall posture.

Benfica's offensive threat has never been played, which disappoints home fans. They lack the weapons to effectively tear Braga's defense. Nelson Oliveira has good personal abilities and is a young player who is considered the most talented and potential in contemporary Portugal. However, under Braga's intensive defense today, his personal abilities have not been able to be exerted. Two times he looks a little anxious due to the failure of extraordinary breakthroughs.

In the 83rd minute of the game, Ezijejel initiated a counterattack on the backcourt, Salino completed the transition from the sidelines, and Amorin gave Tang Hong a straight pass.

Tang Hong took the ball in front of the middle circle and cut in a transverse direction to get rid of Xavi Garcia. When he was pushing towards the forward drib, he encountered Vito. A fried croquette under his feet kept hitting the ball and completing the breakthrough while Vito turned around and tripped from the side and rear to the ground.

The referee decisively called Vito for a foul. At this time, the generals of Braga put pressure on the referee, believing that Vito's foul caused Braga to lose an excellent offensive opportunity, which should be a red card!

However, the referee only showed Vito a yellow card, and Braga was already leading two goals. At this time, if Benfica's players were sent off, the game would instantly enter garbage time.

Seeing this on the sidelines, Yartim had nothing to worry about at this time, so he simply replaced Tang Hong with Alan, allowing Alan to continue to fight back threats after he came on the court.

Benfica also substituted the players, and the midfielder Matic appeared to replace central defender Vito. It seemed that he wanted to slightly strengthen the midfield and weaken the defense line, but the effect was not obvious.

When Tang Hong walked out, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Argentine striker Saviola on Benfica's bench, and looked back at Nolito and Oliveira who were replaced before. He shook his head and sighed and went back to the bench to rest.

It seems that the rabbit's life in Benfica is almost over.

Tang Hong thought a lot when he saw Saviola. He did not recall Saviola's past extraordinary style, but to let himself take it as a warning.

Once upon a time, Saviola was also very popular at the same age!

But it seems that I'm just 30 years old now and I'm almost out of the ball in Europe.

Sitting on the bench, watching the players on the court fighting fiercely, Tang Hong was very excited. After winning this key battle, Braga only needs to defeat Porto at home, so the league championship will be sure to win!

This is his first season in European football. He yearns for success and longs for championships and now feels very hungry!

He hopes to fill his honor collection room with his teammates in his career to enjoy the beauty of winning the championship with his teammates.

This will prove that his return to the world has not been in vain!

Benfica and Braga were still in a difficult situation in the last few minutes of the game, but no goal appeared again.

When the referee blew the whistle of the end of the game, Yartim changed his usual calm posture and shouted wildly!
Chapter completed!
