Martial Arts did not play well in this game, and after Braga's substitutions, they began to control the tempo of the game and maintain a tight formation to strengthen the defense, and in positional battles, Martial did not even have a pitiful number of touches on the ball, let alone create any kind of threat.

After all, it is just getting started, and more competitions are needed to train and grow.

Braga ended up taking all three points away from home and moving up the league table.

There was good news after the game, Benfica were beaten by Guimares away from home, and Porto were unable to close the gap at the top of the table despite another big win at home.

Braga, who are five points ahead of Benfica and six ahead of Porto, can now be said to have established a clear advantage in the league.

With such an advantage, it will also allow Yaltium to give it a go in the second leg of the Europa League round of 32 knockout round!

The Portuguese media did not pay attention to Braga's performance in the Europa League and may be stingy with even a hint of anticipation, because it is also highly probable that Braga, who lost the first leg by three goals, may further retain their strength to challenge for the league title.

When Lokomotiv Moscow arrived in Braga in midweek, Yaltim did not make any bold statements before the game, saying that doing his best was naturally like a diplomatic rhetoric.

However, the dedication and seriousness of the Braga crowd in the preparation for the match, as well as the different atmosphere on the day of the match, seemed to indicate that the match was extraordinary.

The Municipal Stadium will of course be packed for European matches, and if this is Braga's farewell performance for the European competition this season, then the local Braga fans will be there to show their enthusiasm.

Lokomotiv Moscow coach Marcelo Korsiro was confident that his team would qualify for the last 16 of the Europa League, even smiling before the game: "We know Braga will be better at home than they are in Moscow, but we just don't lose three goals to the opponent." ”

No one cared about his joke.

On the night of the matchday, when the starters of both teams lined up to enter the stadium, the Municipal Stadium was still in a lively atmosphere to build momentum.

The Braga generals were all serious and full of fighting spirit, and the Moscow Lokomotiv generals looked a little more relaxed, but it was impossible not to take Braga seriously at all.

"Good evening, and welcome to the second leg of the Europa League 1/16 knockout round, Braga hosts Lokomotiv Moscow.

Braga lost 3-0 to Lokomotiv Moscow at the Lokomotiv Stadium a week ago, a result that made Braga's exit very high and they would have to outscore their opponents by at least four goals if they wanted to turn the tables at home!

It is foreseeable that Lokomotiv Moscow will definitely strengthen their defense in this game to avoid being scored by Braga.

Braga came on in midweek with an all-out start and played poorly, so let's see how they do today.

Braga started today with 433.

Goalkeeper: Quem.

Defenders: Bayano, Everton, Coelho, Ezigile.

Midfielders: Custodio, Barbosa, Amorim.

Forwards: Viana, Lima, Tang Hong.

Lokomotiv Moscow started today with 451.

Goalkeeper: Guilherme.

Defenders: Shishkin, Brak, Bayaev, Janbayev.

Midfielders: McConn, Zhapat, Grushakov, Tarasov, Tobinski.

Striker: Caicedo.

Although unchanged from the two teams' starting XI a week ago, Lokomotiv Moscow's switch from 433 to 451 is largely in line with our previous predictions, and they will face this second-leg knockout game more conservatively.

After the pre-match kick-off ceremony, let's watch the game together. ”

The cheers at the Municipal Stadium, while enthusiastic, were not at their peak, and it was clear that Braga's fans were not very confident.

Perhaps Lokomotiv Moscow are a strong opponent in their minds, Braga can win at home, and there is little hope of a comeback.

Braga kicked off in the middle circle, and the heroic Tang Hong stepped on the football and looked back at his teammates, and they were all ready to go.

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

When Braga passed in the midfield, it was found that Lokomotiv Moscow had a limited range of forward pressure, and it was obvious that the large force was defending in the backfield to compress the defensive space!

Amorim crosses diagonally to the left of the pitch in the centre circle.

Tang Hong found the defender Zapat rushing towards him in the active response, perhaps because of the experience of the successful blockade of Tang Hong a week ago, the players of Lokomotiv Moscow still insisted on taking the initiative to press in the defensive strategy of this game.

Just when Zapat's eyes were in front of him, Tang Hong's feet quickly and flexibly knocked the ball in succession and changed direction to rush through it, a crisp croquette almost made Zapatt lose his mind instantly, and the ball was broken with his lower foot, but when he turned around and chased again, he was surprised to see Tang Hong fake shaking and change direction in front of the right fullback Shishkin to complete the dribbling breakthrough again!

Tang Hong didn't have time to think deeply about the back and full-back of Lokomotiv Moscow being passed by himself, behind which was the opponent's mistake in predicting the situation, he was about to hit the penalty area when he saw Chirac moving towards him.

Tang Hong very decisively knocked the ball to Lima, who took the initiative to run to respond, and after he played the ball, he saw Braque running towards the middle of the penalty area again, intending to close the door with Belyaev to defend Lima, but the latter sent the ball diagonally into the left rib of the penalty area.

Braque turned around and immediately rushed in the direction of the football, and the picture that caught his eye made Braque distracted, Tang Hong rushed to the front of the football and raised his foot to shoot!

Braque was in a hurry to put a shovel to block Tang Hong's shooting angle, but when the person had already slid on the ground, he was even more shocked to see Tang Hong close at hand, fake shot, real buckle and staggered with him.

After this button, Tang Hong changed to his right foot and shot again!

The soccer ball crosses a wonderful inner arc and hangs straight into the dead corner!

Goalkeeper Guilherme was stunned, as if the opening whistle was still echoing in his head, but the football had flown into the top right corner of the goal!

No save action was made at all!

The Municipal Stadium shook the audience!

Braga's fans were also stunned and surprised, raising their fists and cheering wildly!

“omg！ The first wave of the offensive after the opening of Braga was completed!

Tang Hong's 11th goal in the Europa League this season was born!

It's so exciting!

Tang Hong, who connected two people in the front court, collided with Lima and then buckled the tackle Brak in the penalty area, and then hit a clever shot to send the ball into the goal of Lokomotiv Moscow!

Lokomotiv Moscow gets off to a nightmare start!

It's only been less than 1 minute since the start of the game!

Their three-goal lead became two goals in an instant!

Braga leads Lokomotiv Moscow 1:0 and the aggregate score is 1:3. ”

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

They roared and rushed to find Tang Hong, but Tang Hong turned around and walked towards the midfield after scoring a goal, and when his teammates rushed over, Tang Hong raised his right fist and said coldly to everyone: "Today we are going to slaughter the Moscow Lokomotiv in blood, and God can't protect them, I said!" ”

A group of teammates nodded and raised powerful fists, Everton ran to hug Tang Hong's head and kissed it, he had to be a big gift in the last game today, he must not leak any chance on defense today, and at the same time, the hope of whether he can turn the game around is pinned on the team's offensive players.

Tang Hong's goal in less than 1 minute of the opening game made the Braga fans in the stadium excited, and the cheering momentum also increased a lot.

Yaltium applauded calmly from the sidelines and looked like the team had made a fantastic start, but the situation was still not optimistic.

Lokomotiv Moscow coach Sergio Corsiro was originally sitting in the coach's box, but when he saw the lost ball, he immediately got up and walked to the sidelines, clapping his hands and shouting with a dissatisfied look to cheer up the team!

Lokomotiv Moscow kicked off with a steady approach and did not pick up the tempo, but they still hold a two-goal lead and can progress to the last 16 of the Europa League even if they are equalised on aggregate under the away goal advantage rule if they can score a goal against Braga in regulation time.

Braga went up front to counter-attack and harass, and midfielders Barbosa and Amorim also put defensive pressure past the midfield, and the formation was forced to take risks with a slight pressure.

In the third minute of the game, Lokomotiv Moscow attacked on the left, and Russian genius Tobinsky had two assists a week ago, and he was very dangerous in his breakthrough on the left, and he wanted to continue to try to break through alone, but was intercepted by Bayano with precision.

Braga's poor form at the Lokomotiv Stadium and Bayano's constant onslaught from Tobinski's frequent, but it was clear that he was in stark contrast to the home stadium today in Moscow a week ago.

In fact, Lokomotiv Moscow today has a very strong gap in expectations, both in defense and in attack!

Defenders are not as easy to mark against Braga's attacking players as they were a week ago, and they have rarely had physical duels today.

Because Braga's form has soared to show their strength, they don't rely on physical confrontation to get a chance to create a threat, it's more about technology!

In the 7th minute of the game, Tang Hong was caught by three players on the left side of the front, and he knocked the ball back diagonally when Zapatt came up to press.

Eziegil, who followed up from behind, turned inside to meet the ball and sent it diagonally to the ground.

Lima received a back-to-back kick from the middle of the penalty area and the ball rolled to the feet of Barbosa, who didn't wait for another Lokomotiv Moscow midfielder, Tarasov, to get close enough to pass the ball to the right of the box.

Viana, who cut in from the right side, stopped and took a cross-cut step and then volleyed!

The ball flew like a cannonball into the near corner of the goal, and it looked like goalkeeper Guilherme was powerless, but the ball eventually grazed the outside of the right post and flew in the direction of the cliff.

Call!

Braga sighed in the audience, and Viana himself roared unwillingly!

The lokomotiv crowd in Moscow will be terrified!

Look at the eyes of the Braga generals!

Compared to the weakness of a week ago in Moscow, Braga today is like a different team on home turf!
