Wu Lei did not perform well in this game. After Braga substitution, he began to control the rhythm of the game and maintain the formation tightly to strengthen defense. In the positional battle, Wu Lei even touched the ball pitifully, let alone what kind of threat it could create.

After all, we are just starting out and we need more competitions to train and grow.

Braga eventually scored all three-pointers away and made great progress in the league standings.

Good news came after the game. Benfica was upset by Guimares away. Although Porto won another big victory at home, he still could not narrow the gap with the top.

Braga, who is 5 points ahead of Benfica and 6 points ahead of Porto, can now be said to have established a clear advantage in the league.

With such an advantage, Yartim can also give a try in the second leg of the Europa League round of 32 knockout rounds!

Portuguese media do not pay attention to Braga's performance in the UEFA Cup, and may even be stingy with a slight expectation, because Braga, who lost three goals in the first leg, may further retain his strength to win the league championship.

When Moscow Locomotive arrived in Braga in the middle of the week, Yartim did not make a bold statement before the game. He only said that he could do his best, which was naturally like diplomatic rhetoric.

However, the Braga generals' commitment and seriousness in preparing for the game, and the atmosphere on the game day is different from the past, as if there is an invisible solemn atmosphere that indicates that the game is extraordinary.

The European competition will of course fill the municipal stadium. If this would be Braga's farewell performance in the European competition this season, then Braga's local fans will also give their enthusiasm and do their best to contribute.

Moscow Locomotive coach Cosello was confident about the team's advancement to the UEFA Cup quarterfinals. He even said with a smile before the game: "We know that Braga's fighting power at home will be better than theirs in Moscow, but we just need to not lose to our opponents three goals."

No one cares about his joke.

On the night of the game day, when the starters of the two teams lined up to enter the court, the Municipal Stadium still held a warm atmosphere to create momentum.

The generals of Braga looked serious and warlike, while the generals of Moscow's locomotive seemed a little relaxed, but they could not take Braga seriously at all.

"Good evening, everyone, welcome to watch Braga plays Moscow Locomotive in the second leg of the 1/16 Europa League knockout match.

A week ago, Braga lost 0:3 to Locomotive Moscow Locomotive at Locomotive Stadium. This result made Braga's chance of being eliminated very high. If they want to turn the tables at home, they must win at least 4 goals!

It can be foreseen that the Moscow Locomotive will definitely strengthen its defense in this game to avoid being scored by Braga.

Braga and the main players made a poor performance in the middle of the week. Let’s see how they will perform today.

Braga started 433 today.

Goalkeeper: Quim.

Defenders: Bayano, Eveton, Coelo, Ezijegile.

Midfielder: Custodio, Barbosa, Amorin.

Forwards: Viana, Lima, Tang Hong.

Moscow Locomotive debuted 451 today.

Goalkeeper: Guillerme.

Defenders: Shishkin, Brak, Beryaev, and Yambaev.

Midfielders: Maikon, Zapat, Grushakov, Tarasov, Tobinsky.

Forward: Kesedo.

Although there has been no change in the starting lineups of the two teams a week ago, Moscow Locomotive switched from 433 to 451, which is basically consistent with our previous predictions, and they will face this knockout round more conservatively.

After the pre-match kickoff ceremony, we will now watch this game together.”

Although the cheering momentum of the Municipal Stadium is enthusiastic, it has not yet reached its peak in the past. It is obvious that Braga fans are not very confident.

Perhaps in their hearts, Moscow Locomotive is a very strong opponent. Braga can win at home, but he wants to turn the tables but has little hope.

Braga started the ball in the middle circle, and the heroic Tang Hong stepped on the football and looked back at his teammates, both of whom were ready to go.

After the referee's whistle rang, Tang Hong gently thrust the ball under his feet, Lima passed the ball back, and the game officially began!

During the midfield pass, Braga found that the pressure in front of the Moscow locomotive was limited, and it was obvious that the large troops defended in the backcourt to compress the defensive space!

Amorin passed the ball diagonally in the middle circle to the left of the front court.

Tang Hong found that the midfielder Zapat was rushing towards him in his active response. Perhaps because of the successful blockade against Tang Hong a week ago, the players of Moscow Locomotive still insisted on taking close-fitting and proactive pressing in the defensive strategy of this game.

Just when Zapat came to his sight, Tang Hong quickly and flexibly knocked the ball and made a change of direction and pushed it over with his feet. A clean and neat fried croquette almost made Zapat lose his mind in an instant, and his lower foot intercepted the ball and fell to nothing. When he turned around and chased him, he was surprised to see Tang Hong swing in front of the right defender Shishkin and then completed the dribbling breakthrough again!

Tang Hong didn't have time to think deeply about the situation behind the Locomotive Moscow Train, the midfielder and the fullback who were passed by him, was the opponent's mistake in predicting the situation. He dribbled the ball and was about to break into the penalty area and saw Chirac moving towards him.

Tang Hong decisively knocked the ball across to Lima, who took the initiative to run to meet him. After he got the ball, he saw Brak running towards the middle of the penalty area, intending to close the goal with Bellyaev to defend Lima, but the latter blocked the ball into the left rib of the penalty area.

Brack turned around and rushed towards the football. The scene that caught his eye made Brack feel confused. Tang Hong rushed to the front of the football and made a move to raise his foot and shoot!

Brack in desperation, he put a shovel in blocking Tang Hong's shooting angle, but when the man had already slipped on the ground, he was even more shocked to see Tang Hong's fake shot and real buckle crossing him with a close distance.

After this dunk, Tang Hong switched to his right foot and shot again!

The football drew a wonderful inner arc and hung straight on the dead corner!

Goalkeeper Guillerme was stunned, as if the opening whistle was still echoing in his mind, but the football had already flown into the upper right corner of the goal!

No save at all!

The whole municipal stadium was shocked!

Braga fans were also surprised after being stunned and cheered wildly with both fists!

"OMG! Braga's first wave of offensive was completed after the opening game!

Tang Hong's 11th goal this season was born!

So wonderful!

Tang Hong, who had passed two consecutively in the frontcourt, and Lima hit a wall and cooperated with each other. Then he dunked Blake, who was making a shovel, and then made a trick shot and sent the ball into the goal of the Moscow Locomotive!

Moscow Locomotive has a nightmare start!

The game started less than 1 minute!

Their three-goal lead instantly turned into two goals!

Braga led Moscow Locomotive 1:0, with a total score of 1:3."

The already vigorous fighting spirit of the Braga generals was completely ignited by Tang Hong's goal!

They roared and rushed to look for Tang Hong, but Tang Hong turned around and walked towards the midfield after scoring the goal. When his teammates rushed over, Tang Hong raised his right fist and said coldly to everyone, "Today we are going to massacre the locomotives of Moscow, and God can't save them, I said!"

A group of teammates nodded and raised their powerful fists. Eveton ran over and hugged Tang Hong's head and kissed him. In the last game, he had to give him a big gift today and not give his opponent any chance as much as possible. At the same time, the hope of whether he could turn around was placed on the team's offensive players.

Tang Hong's goal less than one minute of the game made Braga fans excited and his cheering momentum grew a lot.

Yartim applauded calmly on the sidelines. It seemed that the team had a fantastic start, but the situation was still not optimistic.

Moscow Locomotive coach Cosello was originally sitting in the coach's seat. When he saw the ball concealed, he immediately got up and walked to the sidelines. He clapped his hands and shouted with dissatisfaction to make the team cheer up!

After the start of the game, Moscow Locomotive adhered to the principle of steady play and did not speed up the pace. They still held two goals and led the way. In addition, as long as they could score one goal in Braga in regular time, according to the away goal advantage rules, even if the total score was equalized, they could advance to the top 16 of the UEFA Cup.

Braga's forward line went to the frontcourt to counter-harassment. Midfielders Barbosa and Amorin also put defensive pressure through the midfield. It was a forced choice to bear the risk by slightly pressing the formation.

In the third minute of the game, Moscow Locomotive attacked from the left. Russian genius player Tobinsky had two assists a week ago. His breakthrough on the left was very threatening. Today, he also wanted to continue to try to advance alone, but he was accurately intercepted by Bayano.

The whole team in Braga was in poor form at Locomotive Stadium, and Bayano was frequently shocked by Tobinsky, but today it was obviously in a very different state from Moscow a week ago.

In fact, the gap between the expectations in both defense and offense is very strong today!

Defensive players are not as easy as they are a week ago when they are targeting Braga's offensive players. They were able to win by relying on physical confrontation, but today there are few opportunities for physical confrontation.

Because Braga's state soared and exerted their strength, they did not rely on physical confrontation to gain opportunities to create threats, but more so it was technology!

In the 7th minute of the game, Tang Hong was double-teamed by three players on the left side of the frontcourt. He knocked the ball back diagonally when Zapat came up to press.

Ezijejel, who followed in from behind, turned into the inside and kicked the ball and sent it diagonally.

Lima responded with her back in the middle of the penalty area and knocked back, and the ball rolled to Barbosa's feet. The latter passed the ball to the right in front of the penalty area without waiting for another midfielder Tarasov, the locomotive of Moscow, to pass the ball to the right in front of the penalty area.

Viana, who cuts in the right side, stops and walks and cuts one step, then starts to volley!

The football flew straight into the corner of the goal like a cannonball. It seemed that goalkeeper Guillerme was unable to turn the sky, but the football finally flew to the cliff from the outside of the right post.

call!

Braga sighed, and Viana himself growled unwillingly!

The generals of the Moscow Locomotive were frightened!

Seeing that the Braga generals' eyes changed completely!

Compared to being weaker in Moscow a week ago, Braga is like a change of team at his doorstep today!
Chapter completed!
