Braga, who had taken the lead on the road, put on a tighter defensive formation.

Valencia seem to be looking more to find a breakthrough in the middle, leading them to keep looking for opportunities in midfield.

At this time, the situation of the game on the field is like the wind from east to west, north and south, and I stand still.

Braga watched Valencia fall to his feet.

Pour it casually, pour it all over the world!

Unable to get in the middle, Valencia could only attack from the wings.

It's just that the bottom cross doesn't work well.

As long as Valencia's attack reaches the wing, then at least one of Braga's midfielders will retreat into the penalty area to help defend and form a tighter encirclement with the defenders.

In the 19th minute of the game, Feduli's cross from the right side was blocked by Coelho with his leg raised.

After Amorim stopped the ball outside the penalty area, he pulled the ball and changed direction, and the side shook the angle to send a through ball to Tang Hong.

When Tang Hong controlled the ball on the left side of the halfway, Albelda and Canales formed a trap defense against him.

Seeing that there was no good chance to break through, Tang Hong retreated and passed the ball back to Eziegil, who had just made a long diagonal pass to Viana before being kicked to the ground by Feghouli's outstretched leg.

The referee blew the whistle for a foul on Figoulli, and Braga served a set-piece at the back.

When Braga started to possess the ball, Valencia counter-attacked like a wolf, and the anxiety caused by the score behind made their defensive moves a little bigger.

When Barbosa tripped over Canales from the side, Barbosa solemnly reasoned with Canales.

Anyway, Braga doesn't need to be in a hurry now, either mentally or situationally.

The home fans at the Mestalla were already feeling that the game was out of Valencia's control.

Valencia's wide attacks were not as effective as they were at the Municipal Stadium last time out, and they began to try all sorts of ways to threaten Braga's goal.

Canales fed a cannonball into Jonas up front, who struggled to get up and fired from the left in front of the box that was blocked by Custodio and shifted to the right, where Fedhouli failed to cut inside but was blocked by Coelho.

Canales himself tried a long-range shot but hit the plane.

Braga's dense defence at the Mestalla Stadium today left Valencia feeling a little helpless.

In the 35th minute of the game, Braga controlled the ball in the middle of the backfield, and Barbosa passed the ball to each other with Custodio and Amorim, and Valencia's pressing counter-attack became slightly aggressive.

Feghouli, Canales, Jonas, plus Soldado and Parejo surrounded the three.

In the nick of time, Custodio played the ball down the left wing.

Eziegill stops the ball and delivers a pinpoint through ball.

Tang Hong pulled the ball and turned after receiving it with his back in front of him, and saw Albelda coming towards him, Ricardo Costa also pressed forward, and he slowly took two steps forward before sending a through ball.

The ball rolled past Ricardo Costa on the touchline, and he turned to see that it was still Limara who was picking up.

This time, Limara dribbled two steps into the direction of the penalty area after a successful response, and when he saw Barragan rushing to intercept, he decisively crossed the ball diagonally into the middle of the penalty area.

After Tang Hong got out of the ball, he quickly cut inside and left Albelda behind in the wild run!

Rami saw Tang Hong coming, so he immediately rushed out to defend, if Tang Hong broke through with the ball, he would leave Tang Hong outside the penalty area even if he fouled!

But just when Tang Hong and Rami were about to meet, the football that rolled in front of Tang Hong was ignored by Tang Hong!

Tang Hong leaked the ball!

Rami was suddenly confused, his eyes turned, and the football rolled to the right in front of the penalty area and was sent straight by Viana with a kick, which was behind Lamy!

Tang Hong has bypassed Rami to complete the anti-offside position, and received Viana's pass to form a single knife!

After stopping the ball with the outside of his right foot in the penalty area, Tang Hong slowed down to complete the adjustment, and Tang Hong pushed with his right foot very decisively.

The football rolled to the bottom right corner of the goal, the angle was very tricky, and the goalkeeper Alves couldn't touch the ball even though he made a save!

The moment the football rolled into the Valencia goal, the Braga fans in the stands of the Mestalla stadium cheered wildly!

Tang Hong smiled and turned around and ran in the direction of Braga's backfield, pointing at Bayano all the way.

Halfway through, many teammates tried to catch Tang Hong, but they were unsuccessful.

When Tang Hong was about to rush in front of Bayano, he laughed at him and said, "Your witchcraft seems to have worked!" You will be my wizard from now on! ”

Bayano laughed and said, "Of course it works!" Once my brother was sick and was cured with this method! ”

Tang Hong only felt a little cold on his back.

This is not taking human life seriously!

"Tang Hong pushes the goal! Braga is the next city!

Another counterattack, another wonderful combination!

Lima, Tang Hong, Viana had a wonderful chemistry in Mestalla today!

Valencia were clearly out of balance from the moment they conceded the first goal and it was clear that they were working hard to create chances and to create a threat, but they couldn't find the right way.

Things are going so badly against them now and they need to score at least two goals at home to regain the initiative to qualify for the final!

Emery had an uncomfortable look on his face, and I guessed he was stunned. ”

Yaltium hugged and celebrated with his coaches, then walked to the sidelines to clapped and cheer for the team, shouting: "Yes, just fight!" Be sure to stay awake! Defend well first! ”

Braga weren't really quick on the counter-attack today, but they were calm and patient.

In the second leg, they focused more on quality in the Mestalla than they attacked at home whenever they had the opportunity in the first leg, and that's what Braga changed in today's game.

If there is any change in the tactical play, there really is none.

is still counterattacking, relying only on the forward trident and Balbosa, but it is more mature in coordination and timing.

The Valencian generals looked at each other, and the situation became even worse!

The home fans in the stands couldn't understand why Valencia was able to be sunk by Bra when they were playing at home with an advantage!

With little time left in the first half, Braga naturally tightened their defence and recycled their front line to the edge of the key defensive area.

Valencia are racing against time to try to score to close the gap, and if they can score at least one in the first half, then they have a lot of hope of turning the tables!

Alba went down the left side and then tried to make a personal burst into the box, after all, the cross had no effect, there was no space to play the back pass and the triangle pass, and Braga defended too densely.

When he tried to get past Bayano, Bayano reached out first to break the ball off the line.

Valencia corner kick attack.

Barragán's header from the edge of the box went wide and the Mestalla stadium erupted with sighs from the home fans.

Seeing that the first half of the game was approaching injury time, Braga also managed to withstand Valencia's continuous strong attacks.

In the first minute of stoppage time, Braga suddenly launched another wave of counter-attacks when Canales collided with Soldado in the middle of the penalty area and was denied the ball by Amorim.

Bayano responded on the right, Barbosa ran in the middle to receive a pass from Bayano, looked at the situation in front of him, and then sent the ball to the left in the middle of the front field.

Tang Hong had already run through the half, cutting in quickly from the wing.

Albelda was left behind by him, but the distance did not widen, the former quickly returned to the direction of the penalty area, and Ricardo Costa also moved from the side to the edge of the penalty area, and was about to intercept Tang Hong, who was about to control the ball!

Tang Hong's running trend is to cut inside to the front of the penalty area near the middle of the area, just less than two meters away from him and Ricardo Costa, the football also rolled to his feet, but Tang Hong did not stop touching the ball and continued to run in the direction of the middle of the penalty area!

Ricardo Costa didn't stop to block Tang Hong's front.

But when Ricardo Costa saw the football rolling in front of the right side of his body, and at the same time Tang Hong stopped and reversed the running position to chase the football again, Ricardo Costa hurriedly stopped and turned around to chase with his legs, but because he was in a hurry, his body failed to keep up with his consciousness, and his right leg was too big as if he had pulled an egg, and he sat on the spot and curled up on the ground with his inner thigh.

Tang Hong's passing method of not touching the ball to deceive the opponent's center of gravity made Braga fans extremely excited, and Valencia fans had extremely solemn expressions!

This kid really doesn't play cards according to common sense!

When people leak the ball, they leak it to their teammates, but he leaked it to himself three seconds later!

When Tang Hong controlled the ball from outside the penalty area and came to the penalty area close to the baseline, Barragán blocked in front of him, and Lima flanked in front of the goal in the middle to drive Rami to follow.

Tang Hong decisively picked up the ball and sent the ball to the top of the arc of the penalty area.

The Valencia defenders turned their eyes and saw Viana striding up and volleying directly without adjustment!

The home fans at the Mestalla Stadium had a numb scalp and sighed only after the football slid like a meteor.

It's heartbreaking!

Call!

At this time, the referee's whistle blew and the first half of the game ended.

Tang Hong, Lima, and Viana came together, and Tang Hong said to Viana: "Just now the ball stopped and shot again." ”

Viana grabbed his hair and said, "When I get excited, I feel like I can make a world wave!" ”

Tang Hong smiled.

Lima looked back at Ricardo Costa, who was lying on the ground being treated by the team doctor, then turned his head and pulled Donhon's arm, saying, "You seem to have injured him." ”

Viana said with experience: "Definitely strained, Valencia is going to make a substitution. ”

Tang Hong shrugged and said, "If he doesn't follow me, then he won't be injured." ”

Lima was momentarily speechless.

Ricardo Costa did strain, he took too many steps and ended up being substituted.

Unai Emery was in a terrible mood and Valencia's first half was a nightmare!
