Braga's 1-3 defeat to Athletic Bilbao is not a big surprise, after all, it was also a thrilling reversal of Athletic Bilbao at home to win, and at the same time, some of the main players of Braga did not go with the team.

It's just a surprise that Paris Saint-Germain actually lost 0:2 away to Salzburg.

Paris Saint-Germain really didn't even struggle and went out like this!

Braga and Athletic Bilbao join forces to advance to the last 32 of the Europa League, with only a passing pass in the final round.

Braga host the Portuguese Cup at the weekend, where they face Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon in the fourth round.

The outside world thinks that this will be a battle of dragons, but now Braga's focus is entirely in the league, if the last round of the league defeated Porto away, then Braga really hit the cup with a real knife and go further, but now only 1 point ahead of Porto makes Yaltim afraid of losing the leader position in the league, so the local cup is also lightly traveled.

Even before the game, he was ready to be eliminated by Sporting Lisbon, but he didn't expect Sporting Lisbon to also choose the main team.

Even though Yaltim has a lot of pressure on his shoulders, he is now a star coach in Portuguese football, who has put Braga in the league leader's position?

But Sporting Lisbon is different, and the record since the start of the new season is not too bad, with 7 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses and 23 points, which is indeed a bit overshadowed by Braga's 9 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss with 28 points.

The most important thing is that they are not in the top three of the league, and until Sporting Lisbon is completely left behind, their focus will naturally be in the league!

The two teams' substitutes were still unproductive after 70 minutes of fierce battle at the Municipal Stadium, and the substitution of three main players by Yaltium was a regular operation, and it was always necessary to give some hope to the fans who came to support them, and they were not completely indifferent to the local cup competition.

Tang Hong was naturally one of the players who was substituted.

Yaltium played the first move, and Sporting Lisbon coach Dominguez could only play the back hand, so he also made a substitution to strengthen the defense.

However, after the substitution, Sporting Lisbon fell into a huge passivity on the field.

In the 81st minute of the game, Tang Hong, who had already created two threatening breakthroughs and had a shot within the goal, received Nuno Gomez's return pass from the left outside the penalty area, faked a dunk past a defender and burst into the penalty area, and was put to the ground by the defenders who came from behind the side as soon as he entered the penalty area.

The referee blew the whistle decisively and awarded Braga a penalty.

Sporting Lisbon were not furious either, and did look a little absent-minded about the game.

Nuno Gomez converted the penalty and Braga took the lead with the goal.

After the goal, Braga began to actively control the pace of the game, the offensive and defensive rhythm began to slow down, and Sporting Lisbon did not press too hard to counter-attack, and finally Braga won a small goal at home to advance to the next round.

Sporting Lisbon wants to compete with Braga in the league, and this Portuguese Cup is just a warm-up.

Braga host Salzburg four days later, and Tang Hong did not even make the squad for this game, and he has almost ten days off since the defeat to Porto, in order to be in better shape for this weekend's league game.

Salzburg, who had already been out of the tournament, and Braga, who had come off the bench, played inextricably at the Municipal Stadium, and the two teams continued to attack each other, and the final score of 2:2 shook hands and everyone was happy.

Athletic Bilbao also came off the bench at the Parc des Princes and were beaten 4-2 by Paris Saint-Germain.

Braga finished top of their group and qualified for the last 32 of the Europa League.

The next evening, the draw for the Europa League round of 32 knockout rounds was released.

Braga drew the Lokomotiv Moscow of the Russian Premier League.

Regardless of whether the opponent is strong or weak, it will be a tournament in mid-February next year anyway, and it will be forgotten for the time being.

It's the weekend again, and the locals in Braga are wearing warm coats, and the players playing in the stadium are wearing long-sleeved winter jerseys.

In the 12th round of the Portuguese Super League, Braga sat at home to face Ferreira, who was at the bottom of the standings.

Half a month has passed since they lost to Porto, but in this half a month, everyone has become relaxed on the surface, but in fact, they are still holding their breath inside.

Yaltium also learned his lessons and made the team play more proactive in the game!

On a slightly cold evening, the Municipal Stadium continued to be enthusiastic, and after the game began, Braga was active as a team, showing more aggression than usual in both passing and receiving the ball and defending and counter-attacking.

Boldly pass forward, even if the pass is lost, it will start from the front line to fight back wildly.

The goal of the game came quickly, and Ferreira was not dizzy from the impact of Braga's attack, but more like he was distracted by Braga's almost furious crazy counter-robbery!

When Viana received Tang Hong's diagonal pass on the right flank, he sent the ball into the area in front of the baseline, and Bayano's quick low cross flicked a cannonball into Lima, who quickly scrambled and fired into the near corner.

Braga take a one-goal lead at home!

Braga did not let up after the goal, and just seven minutes later, Ferreira's fast attack was sniped by Amorim, and after the ball passed to Barbosa's feet, the latter sent a ball over the top.

When the football was hoisted into the left rib of the penalty area, Tang Hong hit the offside position, and the left-footed buckle changed to create a better shooting angle for himself, and he pulled out his foot to shoot angrily without waiting for the defender to get close, and the football blasted out with his right foot without rotation like a cannonball hanging in the dead corner!

Braga leads by two goals!

Ferreira has no master, and it seems to be another familiar defeat.

Just after 30 minutes of the first half, Tang Hong collided with Eziegil on the left side and crossed into the wall, but the ball hit the arm of the opposing full-back and was clearly detected by the referee.

Braga wins a penalty.

Tang Hong stood in front of the penalty spot this time, and then simply sent the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal with a push shot.

3:0！

Braga took less than 35 minutes to put the game out of suspense!

They are like a beast venting their anger, but they are never satisfied!

Goals, wins, getting back on track will bring them closer together and at the same time be more determined to move forward.

There is really no room for slack on the road to the championship!

Ferreira's morale hit rock bottom, and he had no idea of fighting back.

It's just that Braga is a little unkind, with a three-goal lead but still maintaining a fast-paced high-pressure press.

When Barbosa scored with a long-range shot from the edge of the box, Ferreira realised their nightmare wasn't over.

In the second half, Lima scored in front of the goal to rewrite the score to 5:0.

The fact that the central midfielders are far more motivated than before is the biggest change for Braga in this game.

In the 68th minute of the game, Bayano crossed again from the right side, and the football flew to the back of the goal and was hit by Tang Hong's header!

Tang Hong, who scored a hat trick of goals, suddenly rewrote his goals on the scorer list to 21 goals!

Braga fans have almost digested the defeat in the previous round, but today seeing Braga's strong performance at home and the picture of everyone hugging each other after every goal, everyone realized that the defeat in the previous round had a positive stimulus for this team!

After Tang Hong was replaced, Alan and Nuno Gomez, who came on as substitutes, also showed a strong fighting spirit.

Eventually, Alan was able to pick up the ball when he met a cross from Ezigile.

Braga swept Ferreira 7-0 at home!

Tang Hong gave a post-match interview to reporters before leaving the Municipal Stadium after the game, and when the reporter asked him if he was looking forward to the announcement of the results of the European Golden Boy Award tomorrow, Tang Hong shook his head and said lightly: "Whether I win the award or not, it won't change my current situation, so I don't care." ”

Porto, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon won in the same league round, and the gap between the top four in the standings has not changed after this round.

The next day, Turin Sport revealed the results of the annual European Golden Boy Awards.

Borussia Dortmund's Gotze won the Golden Boy Award.

Tang Hong from Braga won second place in the competition.
