The most successful team in the nearly 20-year history of Portuguese football is Porto, which had won five consecutive championships in the 90s at its peak, but if you stretch the timeline to the starting point, then the reputation of the most successful club in the history of Portuguese football is naturally on Benfica's head.

As of today, the 32 top-flight titles represent nearly half of the nearly 80-year history of Portuguese professional football!

If Porto is based on the South American legion to start with brilliant achievements, then Benfica and Sporting Lisbon from the capital are definitely the pillars of Portuguese football for many years, the most famous star in the history of Portuguese football Black Panther Eusebio started the legendary road from Benfica at the age of 18, the famous star Rui Costa in modern times, Simão is also from Benfica Academy, and Figo, Ronaldo These two generations of superstars are from Sporting Lisbon, Porto has contributed a lot in recent years, After all, Kodeco and Pepe became the backbone of Portuguese football by naturalization as Brazilians, not from the academy.

Time has passed, and now Benfica and Sporting Lisbon have also increased their foreign reinforcement corps, and the team's star players are mainly South American legions.

After all, Portugal is only the size of a palm, but South America is a vast world, and Portugal's local production in terms of resources can't resist the cost performance of imported products.

Benfica visit to the Municipal Stadium to challenge leaders Braga!

The headlines put up by the Portuguese media to play up the atmosphere before the big game were enough to get Braga fans excited!

Sounds heavenly!

32-time champions Benfica to challenge us!

Benfica fans are nicknamed the Red Devils because their home colour is also red, but they will be wearing white when they play away today, so as not to be confused with the colour of Braga's home kit.

The capital's fans are naturally a bit domineering, and when they come to the Municipal Stadium to sit in the stands of the visiting team, it is actually a corner of the front stands, and the middle part is dominated by Braga fans.

But the Benfica fans didn't mind, and the crowds were like a spectacular group, cheering on the team in unison, oblivious to what the Braga fans were doing.

When the starters of both teams entered the stadium, Braga fans began to create a deafening noise!

Tang Hong, who made his debut as a starter, is still full of energy today, and he will naturally adjust his condition to the best to face this crucial battle.

This is a battle for the top of the Portuguese Super League!

Yaltim had a friendly handshake with Benfica coach Jorge Jesús before the game.

Three years ago, Jesus coached Braga, but unfortunately only one season, I didn't think that the coach who was fired by Braga is now leading the king of the Portuguese Super League.

In a warm and passionate atmosphere, the starters of the two teams shook hands before kick-off on the field.

"Good evening, and welcome to the 10th round of the Portuguese Premier League at the Municipal Stadium!

Leaders Braga take on Benfica, who are second in the league!

The cool weather in Braga tonight was perfect for the players to get out of shape and there was reason to expect a good game in front of us.

Braga have been a sensation this season, topping the Portuguese league with an unbeaten record of eight wins and one draw, leaving Benfica and Porto behind.

But will they be able to retain the top spot today?

If they can't win Benfica, then Porto may complete the overtake, and if Benfica wins, then Benfica will also jump to the top of the table!

At the same time, this match also has a contest between the top two scorers in the current Portuguese Super League scorer list.

Tang Hong, who is at the top of the scorer list, has scored 15 league goals, while Cardoso, who is second in the list, has six league goals, which is a far cry in terms of statistics, but we must admit that Tang Hong's performance is phenomenal and whether it can be sustained will be questionable.

Now let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both teams.

Braga at home started 433.

Goalkeeper: Quem.

Defenders: Bayano, Everton, Coelho, Ezigile.

Midfielders: Custodio, Barbosa, Amorim.

Forwards: Viana, Lima, Tang Hong.

Benfica also started today with 433.

Goalkeeper: Artur Morris.

Defenders: Maxi Pereira, Luisson, Garay, Emerson.

Midfielders: Xavi Garcia, Aimar, Bruno Silva.

Forwards: Gaitan, Cardoso, Witsel.

Judging from the arrangement of the two teams, there will be a battle of dragons and tigers at the Municipal Stadium today! ”

The fans cheered for their respective teams with great anticipation, and the scene was spectacular.

The two managers seem to be calm and serious, but in fact they are not under a lot of pressure.

Yaltium wants to stay on winning track, Jorge Jesús will need to knock Braga off the top spot!

There have only been two top-flight titles in the history of Portugal's top flight, and even in the middle of the season, it is relatively rare for a non-big three to lead the table.

Braga's momentum is naturally unacceptable to the three giants.

A stronger opponent will bring a more complex offensive situation, Tang Hong has long been aware of this, today's game will inevitably be challenging, and he is full of fighting spirit!

With the referee's whistle, the game officially kicked off.

As soon as they started, Braga launched a strong attack on the Benfica defence.

When Tang Hong controlled the ball on the left side of the field, midfielder Javi Garcia and full-back Maxi Pereira formed a flank attack on him.

The former is an excellent midfielder in the Spanish Mesozoic, and definitely belongs to the top three roles in the back midfield in the Portuguese Super League, although he is not exactly a defensive sapper, but the defensive strength is definitely stronger than ordinary players.

Right wing-back Maxi Pereira is a regular in Uruguay's squad and is not only experienced but also very different from the traditional European full-backs.

Neither of them stepped up to grab it, but instead took a good position to limit Tang Hong's breakthrough, which would buy their defense time to adjust defensively.

But Tang Hong couldn't control the ball and didn't stand still, seeing that there was no good opportunity, he didn't force it, and knocked the ball to Barbosa, who immediately kicked the ball diagonally to the right side, Viana cut from the side to the middle, and hoisted the ball to the left rib of the penalty area after a step of cross-cutting.

Tang Hong ran inside at the right time, but the ball was cleared by a header from the 190-centimeter-tall Louisson on the left rib of the penalty area.

Since the ball didn't go over the top, Tang Hong didn't need to fight with the tall Louisson, after all, he didn't do this job.

Turning around to defend back, Benfica's side switched between attack and defense and played very quickly.

Bruno Silva controls the ball in the middle of the backfield and sends in a through ball.

Aymar the Clown, who received the ball with his back in the center circle, turned and turned to change the direction of the ball to make the up-and-coming Barbosa pass, followed by Amorim to intercept it head-on, and Aimar sent the ball to the right in front of the penalty area with a precise diagonal pass close to the ground.

Gaitan quickly cut inside and led the ball towards the middle of the penalty area.

Custodio immediately rushed towards him, and with a metre still a metre from Gaitan, the latter played the ball into the middle of the box.

Paraguayan striker Cardoso struck a diagonal shot back from Everton and Coelho.

Immediately after the ball was played, he turned diagonally and slid into the open area behind Everton.

Belgian star Witsel has gradually replaced Rabbit Saviola as Benfica's main player, and he is not a pure winger, but he is a versatile all-rounder who is loved by Jorge Jesus.

This time, he cut inside to the left in front of the penalty area to receive Cardoso's pass and sent a through ball without hesitation.

The ball rolls to the left side of the penalty area.

It happened to be the area where Cardoso cut in diagonally, and the tacit understanding between them was just a very regular performance.

Cardoso met the ball and half-turned and volleyed, but did not give Everton a chance to make a stop-up fire.

was moving towards the near post, but the ball flew into the far corner!

made a sharp stop and then turned back to pounce, barely enough distance to touch the ball with his left hand, but it fell short.

The moment the ball flew into the far corner of the goal, it was less than 1 minute before the game began!

Benfica's entire attacking group in midfield combined to complete the opening goal!

Cardoso roared and raced to the corner closest to the visiting fans!

Although Tang Hong was behind in the scorer list by 9 goals, he persistently chased after it, and now the gap has narrowed to 8!
