Braga led Schalke 4-2 at the Estadio Schalke 04.

Schalke 04, who are playing at home, can only attack the defense of Braga with all their might.

In the 63rd minute, Huntelaar drew the displeasure of Farfan with a long-range shot from the edge of the box, who had already run inside and was in an open position, but Huntelaar did not pass the ball.

If it weren't for the fact that the score was always behind, I'm afraid Farfan would have no complaints, and it is normal for the center forward to have a higher right to fire.

Two minutes later, Viana played a through ball to Lima on the right flank, who was about to break through but was fouled by Matip and shown a yellow card to Matip.

When the game came to the 68th minute, Raul received a pass from Forges on the left side of the penalty area, pulled the ball back to evade Everton's foot, and then knocked the ball across the middle.

Huntelaar stepped forward and raised his foot to shoot, and Coelho blocked the ball from the bottom line with a tackle!

Call!

The fans were extremely nervous, and if the goal had not been blocked by Coelho, then Huntelaar's shot would have been scored.

With 71 minutes on, Schalke 04's attack did not weaken in the slightest, and Braga had a good counter-attack opportunity when Hegg stepped in to the edge of the box to receive Draxler's pass and complete a long-range shot.

Hegg's long-range shot was deflected wide by Everton, who stopped the ball and sent in a through ball.

Tang Hong looked at the rolling football on the left side of the backfield and immediately started, and Atsuto Uchida intercepted it head-on.

When the two were less than two meters apart, Tang Hong, who was originally running straight forward, suddenly raised his right foot to change the direction of the ball when the football was about to roll to his feet, and at the same time his body turned to the running position and accelerated to the inside line in front of the right!

Atsuto Uchida hurriedly moved his body center of gravity to try to keep up with Tang Hong, but as soon as he took a step, he was stunned to find that Tang Hong turned to run and did not touch the ball!

The ball is close to the side and continues to roll forward!

Atsuto Uchida instinctively retracted his center of gravity in an instant and tried to stretch his legs to intercept the football, but he obviously overestimated his physical flexibility in making a sharp stop, especially when his body's center of gravity had been deceived by Tang Hong!

Atsuto Uchida stretched his leg to intercept but was still a step too slow, and the ball had already rolled along the inside of the sideline!

At that moment, he suddenly realized: the ball was not intercepted, and the person was lost!

Tang Hong didn't touch the ball and changed direction to be like a human ball, and after running past Atsuto Uchida, he went back to the outside line and continued to move forward quickly from the side!

Atsuto Uchida fell to the ground behind him, and in a hurry to turn around again, he sat on the ground with an unsteady center of gravity, completely losing his defensive ability.

The Braga fans in the stands were not surprised, but the Schalke 04 fans were amazed, and today's duel between the two Asian players can be said to be Tang Hong's victory!

When Tang Hong came to the area outside the top corner of the penalty area, facing Papadopoulos, Tang Hong knocked the ball behind his left foot and chop to change to cross-cutting, Papadopoulos immediately moved laterally to block his shooting angle, but Tang Hong next took the ball back to the left front and accelerated past Papadopoulos!

Just as Papadopoulos quickly turned and went straight back to the defense, Jermaine Jones quickly slashed towards Tang Hong, seeing that he would be caught in a trap situation, Tang Hong suddenly knocked the ball diagonally back to the top of the arc of the penalty area.

As soon as everyone's eyes turned, the picture that caught their eyes made the scalp of Schalke 04 players numb!

Barbosa is in front of you!

Matip decisively gave up marking Lima and rushed outside the box, but it was too late.

Balbosa fired a clean volley with his left foot and blasted the ball into the middle of the goal, just to the top left!

Goalkeeper Hildebrand made a save and his right hand touched the football, but the ball changed slightly backwards and flew into the goal of Schalke 04!

The home team's fans in the stands at Schalke Stadium looked as serious as mourning.

It's over!

The suspense is completely gone!

"Wow! Barbosa scores from distance! Braga lead home team Schalke 04 5:2 away from home!

Another brilliant counterattack!

Tang Hong's way of getting past Atsuto Uchida was very clever, and then he broke through Papadopoulos at the edge of the penalty area and passed the ball back to the triangle in the penalty area, providing a beautiful assist.

The angle of Balbosa's heavy artillery bombardment is not tricky, but it is enough to make Hildebrand powerless!

Braga almost killed Schalke 04 and now they have a three-goal lead! ”

Barbosa rushed to Tang Hong after breaking the goal, and was hugged by Tang Hong after jumping up, he roared and raised his right fist, and the Braga fans in the away team fan stands have fallen into madness!

Hubb Stevens lowered his head and wiped his face, there was really nothing he could do about this game.

It would be impossible to say that Braga had not predicted before the game that they would play defensive counter-attacks.

After all, Manchester United should also be mentally prepared just to look at how Braga was eliminated in the last round.

It's just that with the lineup configuration of Schalke 04, Huntelaar, Farfan, Raul, Draxler and these players, if Schalke 04 doesn't play more proactively, do they have any other options?

Besides, if you don't try to beat your opponent at home in the two-legged knockout round to get an advantageous result, what confidence does you have to go away in the second leg?

If there's anything that exceeds expectations, it's that Braga not only fought back sharply, but also blossomed more!

Today Braga scored 5 goals, Tang Hong scored 2, and the remaining 3 were scored by different players.

This was something Stevens hadn't expected before the game.

Braga has the pros and cons of playing tough battles in the league, the disadvantage is that winning is no longer so easy, and the upside is that the passing speed and coordination awareness between teams continue to improve in the second half of the season!

This allows them to activate more points when they are counter-attacking!

Therefore, there are no absolutes in the world.

Seeing that Braga now had a three-goal lead, Yaltim made a decisive substitution.

Alain and Nuno Gomez are on the pitch.

Replaced Tang Hong and Lima respectively.

As for Barbosa, he couldn't play in the weekend because of the red card in the league, so he simply let him play the whole game.

Schalke 04's attack on the pitch became more ferocious after Tang Hong's departure, as Atsuto Uchida was released to give Farfan more support on the right flank.

Seeing that the defensive line was in turmoil and the thrilling scenes continued, Yaltim replaced Viana with Mossoro.

Braga's two substitutes were also able to create a counter-attacking threat, with Barbosa constantly feeding shells in central midfield, but Nuno Gomez and Alan had one golden chance each to be saved away.

When the game came to the 88th minute, Schalke 04 caused chaos in the Braga penalty area under continuous siege, Farfan's long-range shot was blocked by Quem, and Everton half-turned to clear the ball and sent the ball off the sideline.

Forges crossed in front of the left and Huntelaar was defeated in a header with Coelho, only to be headed back into the box by Jermaine Jones and Amorim from just outside the box.

Custodio, who returned to the penalty area, was just about to clear the siege, but Raul killed from in front of him, unloaded the ball with his thigh and took a step towards the middle and shot low!

The ball was not fast but the angle was tricky, and finally the ball rolled into the bottom left corner of the goal!

was also extremely depressed when he collapsed in front of the goal line.

Any goalkeeper who concedes three goals in a single game is probably not going to feel good.

"Schalke 04 has scored again! Raul's goal rewrote the score to 3:5.

Hasn't this goal battle stopped yet?

Schalke 04 If they can score one more, then they will not have a chance to go away from home.

But if it's just the current score, they will have to beat Braga by almost three goals to turn the tables around! ”

The home fans in the stands at Schalke Stadium are already a little dizzy!

Stop playing with me!

Every time I close the gap between the scores, I think I can close the gap a little closer, but I am always disappointed.

Now instead of hoping for Schalke 04 to score another goal, it is better to hope that the team will not be scored by Braga again!

With only a few minutes left in the game, Braga held on without any suspense, and Schalke 04 pressed heavily to make the game tense and intense, but until the final whistle, Schalke 04 could not change the score.

At the end of the game, Braga defeated Schalke 04 5-3 away and took the lead on the way to the Europa League semi-finals!

Tang Hong had already taken off his jersey, he walked into the stadium in a sports jacket, took the initiative to find Raul and handed his jersey to the other party, Raul immediately took off the jersey and sent it to Tang Hong, the two hugged and left.

Raul, who lost at home, was naturally in a bad mood, Tang Hong took Raul's jersey in his hand, applauded the visiting fans, and then walked into the players' tunnel.

Schalke 04 coach Hube Stevens said in an interview after the game that it was regrettable for the team to lose at home, but they would not give up and still have hope of advancing to the game away from home.

The German media, naturally, did not believe it.

However, Yaltim also said in his post-match press conference that Braga are only ahead and have not yet qualified for the Europa League semi-finals, citing the example of how they once fell behind by three goals to Lokomotiv Moscow and finally reversed in the second leg, and now it is their turn to be wary of Schalke 04's surprising performance on the road.

Speaking about the team's performance in the game, Yaltim praised the performance of the whole team, and when asked about Tang Hong, Yaltim shook his head and sighed: "His excellence has been throughout the season, from the first game of his career for Braga to today, he has been full of fighting spirit in every game, I can't find a better word to praise his performance and professionalism."

Many people will ask me about Tang Hong's future growth, the ceiling of the future, will he win the Golden Globe Award one day?

I don't think the future will be predicted for the time being, now Tang Hong is already a very strong star, there is no doubt about it.

You won't find any player in the Portuguese Super League who is better than him and more important to the team.

The same is true in the Europa League, where he is the top scorer and he has some assists, whether or not some of the big teams have not focused on this cup, at least so far this season, there is no player better than Tang Hong and a higher average rating per game. ”
