Returning to the Portuguese Super League, we ushered in the No.20 sixth round. Sporting Lisbon challenged the same city team Belerences away.
Su Dong and Ronnie are all substitutes in this game.
Joao Pinto scored for Sporting just before half-time ended.
In the No.701 minute of the second half, Rui Borges equalized the score for Belerences.
After that, the game remained stalemate until No.805 minutes, when Su Dong, who came off the bench, planned an attack. Tonito received a pass from Rodrigo Tello and scored the winning goal for Sporting Lisbon.
Two to one, Sporting Lisbon beat Belerences away.
……
In another game at the same time, Porto beat Benfica 306-[-] with Deco's goal in No. [-] minutes.
It is worth mentioning that because of the red card, Benfica had one player less than the opponent for more than 20 minutes, but Porto failed to expand its lead, which made people vaguely see the fatigue of this team.
In the UEFA Cup quarter-finals knockout match in midweek, Porto played against Panathinaikos at home.
Mourinho was determined to win this game, but what he didn't expect was that the Greek team defended for more than 70 minutes, and he just didn't give Porto any chance.
Mourinho even went all out, making substitutions in No. 406 minutes to strengthen the offensive, and used up the remaining two substitutions in 5 minutes. It was almost a gamble, but he failed to break through the goal of the Greek team.
Instead, in the No. 703 minute, the Greek broke through Porto's goal through a quick counterattack, and kept the one-goal lead until the end of the game.
This is the first time Porto has lost at home in a European war this season!
Lost to Panathinaikos in the middle of the week and narrowly beat Benfica on the weekend, both games exposed Porto's hidden dangers.
That is, the team's offense lacks the ability to attack fortified points. When encountering a strictly defensive team, Porto lacks an effective way to defeat the enemy. Therefore, some Portuguese media revealed that after the Panathinaikos game, Mourinho submitted the transfer list for this summer to the Porto management.
The first one on the list is the center forward of Sporting Lisbon, Su Dong!
…………
…………
In the middle of the week, the second round of the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup.
Sporting Lisbon sits at home against Lazio.
With a [-]-to-[-] away advantage in the first round, Bologna still played with three defensive midfielders when returning to the home court, and at the same time required the whole team to defend and counterattack.
Mancini's team had no choice. They took the initiative to attack as soon as the away game started, and took the lead in attacking.
The crazy attack of the Serie A team is still under considerable pressure, especially Fiore's comeback.
Just 6 minutes into the game, it was Fiore's long pass from the right. The left back Favalli quickly inserted and assisted Lopez with a shot in front of the goal. He broke the goal of Sporting Lisbon and equalized the total score for Lazio.
One to zero, the total score was two to two, but Sporting Lisbon still has the advantage of away goals.
Lazio seems to have sensed an opportunity and is still playing against Sporting Lisbon.
But the good times didn't last long. In just 4 minutes, Sporting Lisbon made a quick counterattack.
Albertini made a long pass from the backcourt and sent the ball precisely behind the defense.
Sporting Lisbon's front trident was like three sharp arrows, pointing directly at Lazio's penalty area.
Sudong threw off Mikhailovich and Stam at a very fast speed, and after catching up with the ball, he quickly distributed the ball to the left.
Ronnie caught the ball before Pancaro and knocked across the door.
Favalli stepped in to attack, and the unguarded Quaresma easily followed up with a push and hit, one to one!
Sporting Lisbon played a very efficient and deadly counterattack!
……
After the total score was pulled back to [-] to [-], Lazio still tried to attack.
Sporting Lisbon had already prepared for this, patiently defended, and waited for the opportunity to counterattack.
The trident in the frontcourt requires skill, height, and speed, which is far away from Lazio's old defense line, which makes Lazio extremely afraid.
The two teams are so exhausted.
It was not until the 10th and [-]th minute of the second half that Mancini made another substitution in an attempt to strengthen the offense, and Diego Simeone was the first to be replaced.
The bandit leader was still grinning fiercely tonight, but when he was replaced, he looked very helpless.
In the end, Sporting Lisbon and Lazio reached a one-to-one draw after a dull game.
The away game was [-]-[-], and the home game was [-]-[-]. The total score of Sporting Lisbon was [-]-[-] and the Azzurri were eliminated from the UEFA Cup, which was a big upset in the UEFA Cup.
……
Coincidentally, another arena also had an upset.
After the Celtics of the Soviet Super League drew Liverpool [-]-[-] at home in the first leg, they went to the away game, but defeated Liverpool [-]-[-] at Anfield Stadium, which also broke out a big upset.
Houllier's side suffered a blow after the first leg, with Senegal striker Diouf suspended for spitting at a fan, and his performance in the game was far from the first leg.
Obviously, multi-line combat has affected Liverpool's performance.
But on the other hand, the Celtics coached by Martin O'Neill played bravely, turned away from the guests, scored two goals in a row, and advanced to the semi-finals.
Like Lazio facing Sporting Lisbon, this duel was also before the game. The media and fans believed that the game was basically a sure-fire game, but unexpectedly it was a series of upsets.
Sporting Lisbon upset Lazio in the first round, but the Celtics upset Liverpool in the second round, which made this UEFA Cup a surprise one after another.
The Portuguese Super Boavista, which lost 803-[-] away to Malaga in the first round, returned home, and in the No.[-] minute, Brazilian striker Claudio scored a goal as a substitute, and successfully dragged the game into a penalty shootout.
In the end, Boavista, who played at home, defeated Malaga [-]-[-] with a penalty kick and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
Porto, which lost [-]-[-] at home in the first round, also played very hard in this expedition to Greece.
In the 6th and [-]th minutes of the first half, Postiga assisted Dellei to score a goal to equalize the score.
But after that, the two teams failed to gain anything for a long time, and Porto's [-] failed to break through the Greek team's double midfielder play.
The game entered overtime, and in 1 minutes, substitute midfielder Thiago assisted Dellei to make another victory.
In the end, Porto defeated Panathinaikos [-]-[-] away with Delle's brace and advanced to the semi-finals.
This time it was embarrassing.
Three Portuguese Super League teams and one Scottish Super League team appeared in the top four of the UEFA Cup. None of the teams in the four major leagues was spared, and they were wiped out. This also shocked the entire European football world.
Could it be that after the Champions League has become a game for the giants, the UEFA Cup has become the stage for second- and third-rate league teams?
……
On the night after the second round of the UEFA Cup, UEFA held a draw at its headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
The Celtics drew Boavista.
Sporting Lisbon drew Porto.
The former is the guest first and the host second.
When the news came, the entire Portuguese football world was both happy and worried.
Happily, three teams from the Portuguese Super League have entered the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, which will earn the Portuguese Super League a lot of European points.
The points in the European competition can improve the league results and give the Portuguese Super League teams an advantage in the European arena.
For example, in the future, the champions of the Portuguese Super League will not need to play the third round of qualifying rounds and directly enter the Champions League group stage.
What is worrying is that the two strongest teams in the Portuguese Super League took the lead in the duel, but the weaker Boavista met the Celtics.
After all, Boavista's performance this season is not ideal.
When Sporting Lisbon meets Porto, this is not only a matchup between the UEFA Cup semi-finals, but also a preview of the Portuguese Super League championship.
The first round of the match between the two sides will be held in Porto on April [-].
…………
…………
On the weekend, the Portuguese Super League No.20 played seven rounds.
Sporting Lisbon sits at home against Leiria.
Su Dong and Ronnie sat on the bench again.
The two sides played inextricably in the first half.
No.20 In the second minute, striker Marshall opened the scoring for Leiria and broke the goal of Sporting Lisbon.
In the No.604 minute of the second half, Boloni replaced Ronnie to strengthen the team's side attack.
In just 3 minutes, Ronnie made a breakthrough from the left. Tonito got the ball in the penalty area, passed the opponent's player and then hit a volley, which equalized the score for Sporting Lisbon.
But then, the game fell into a stalemate again.
No. 705 minutes, Boloni used up the last substitution, and Su Dong replaced Nikule.
In just 6 minutes, with a cross from the right from Quaresma, Sudong overwhelmed his opponent in the penalty area and hit the goal with a header from close range, two to one!
Sporting Lisbon reversed Leiria at home and won another three points!
……
In another duel at the same time, Porto returned to Portugal after a long journey to Greece, and played away against Ferreira.
The game completely turned into hand-to-hand combat.
In the No.308 minute of the first half, the midfielder Thiago, who had just made a contribution in Greece, fought with the opposing midfielder Paul Souza, and both were sent off with red cards.
During the intermission, Mourinho changed two players in a fit of anger, trying to strengthen the offensive.
In the 60th minute, Ferreira was hit hard again. The main central defender Armando fouled while defending and was sent off with a direct red card.
With one more player than the opponent, Porto launched a crazy offensive, vowing to take down the opponent and take all three points.
But the result was very surprising. Porto couldn't attack for a long time. Instead, in the 3rd minute of stoppage time, when the game was about to end, Ferreira earned a corner kick. The central defender Kadu, who came on as a substitute, scored a header and scored the only goal of the game.
It was by virtue of the finale lore at the last moment of the game that Ferreira beat Porto [-]-[-] at home.
The whole of Portugal was shocked!
No one thought that Porto would lose!
Sporting Lisbon scored three points, Porto lost away, and now the point gap between the two teams has narrowed to one point again.
More importantly, the two sides met in the UEFA Cup semi-finals.
Not only is the competition for the Portuguese Super League championship completely fierce, but even the right to qualify for the UEFA Cup is also in full swing.
But time did not give the two teams too much breathing room.
After playing the Portuguese Super League No.20 seven rounds, the two teams soon ushered in the first round of the UEFA Cup semi-finals.
This time, Su Dong entered Porto's Fire Dragon Stadium with [-] goals in the Portuguese Super League and the status of the Portuguese Super League's quasi-Golden Boots.
