The midfielder returned to the dressing room to make adjustments, and Braga's morale was high and there was nothing to adjust in terms of style of play.

Just keep defending and counterattacking.

As long as they don't score twice against Valencia, then Braga will be able to go home with a ticket to the Europa League final.

In the second half, the two sides returned to the field to change sides and fight again, and Valencia made passive substitutions.

Victor Luiz came on to replace the injured Ricardo Costa.

Valencia's defence was revised, with Rami playing at centre-back and Barragan moving to right wing-back.

The atmosphere at the Mestalla Stadium was a bit sluggish, with the home fans either expressionless or frowning as if gloomy.

Valencia were naturally aggressive in attack, with Alba still active on the left, but Braga had been unable to breach their fortification on the perimeter by enclosing a 30-yard fan in front of goal.

In the 54th minute of the game, Braga's counterattack came again!

Tang Hong came directly to the center circle this time, when he responded with his back to Albelda immediately stepped forward to force closely, Tang Hong knocked the ball back to Balbosa and immediately turned to run to the front, Albelda turned to follow, and Balbosa passed the ball diagonally to the right front.

Viana played a short ball to the right outside the box, and Limara responded on the right flank.

When Lima sent a cross under the ball, Tang Hong rushed into the penalty area to grab the point.

However, he ran a little too far, causing his shot to be uncontrollable and the ball was knocked out by him, and he fell to the ground in order to complete the shot.

After getting up, Tang Hong gave Lima a thumbs up, and the other party passed it no problem.

The Valencian generals were a little frightened.

Braga's quick counter-attack was so hard for them to guard against!

Valencia needed heroes to step up, but Canales, who came on today, did not perform well under a dense defence, and in the 59th minute, Canales tried to break through Custodio in front of the penalty area but was cut off, and Braga launched a counter-attack again.

Barbosa passed the ball in the middle and split the side, Eziegille stepped forward to send a through ball, Tang Hong stopped the ball on the left side of the front field and dribbled forward, Albelda did not dare to over-assist the side, the two goals conceded in the first half all came from him being driven to the side and then returning to the penalty area, because the distance was too long and Tang Hong completed the speed advantage to get rid of.

When Tang Hong faced Barragan, he pulled the ball with his right foot to cut inside, only touched the ball once but ran two steps, and the result was in front of the ball!

Barragan followed Tang Hong and moved to the middle, but when he sensed that something was wrong, he found that the ball was behind Tang Hong!

Tang Hong made a quick stop and turned around to break through from the outside, and Barragan hurriedly turned back to the outside, but unexpectedly, Tang Hong pulled the ball at his feet and turned around and still walked on the inside line, which happened to hit Barragan with a bad rhythm.

The moment Barragán was gone, Valencia fans had a bad feeling again.

Braga fans were even more excited.

It's a show!

Tang Hong just dribbled to the left in front of the penalty area and encountered Albelda, the opponent did not help defend the side to give Tang Hong the space to control the ball and break through, but now he also played a role in curbing Tang Hong's feet in the front of the penalty area.

Tang Hong did not force it, and directly knocked the ball across the middle of the penalty area.

Barbosa met the ball in a quick follow-up and volleyed, but Parejo's slow back block didn't work.

The ball flew straight to the top left of the middle of the goal, and goalkeeper Alves flew to save and lifted the ball above the crossbar with one palm!

Valencia fans have a false alarm but can't calm down, the trend of this face looks like Valencia, let alone equalize, it may be difficult to keep the goal again!

Unai Emery clapped on the sidelines to encourage his team to improve their performance, but it didn't seem to work.

5 minutes later, Braga's fast attack returned, Viana sent a precise mid-long pass on the right side of the backfield, Lima knocked the ball back under Lamy's close marking, Tang Hong came to the middle to follow up and stopped and accelerated to get rid of Albelda, just in front of the penalty area, Chop changed direction and staggered with Victor Luiz, Parejo, who was in place, put down Tang Hong from behind.

Tang Hong was picked up by Limara and he saw the referee show Parejo a yellow card.

Braga's direct free kick was on the right side of the penalty area, which was not a usual position for Tang Hong to shoot from the goal, but he still made a posture to shoot directly.

When he drove the ball out, he knocked it horizontally, and Amorim, who ran up from behind, came to shoot with his feet!

watched the football fly straight to the bottom right corner of the goal, but in the end it flew out of the bottom line by grazing the outside of the post.

Amorim sighed, and Tang Hong raised his eyebrows, and there was nothing to regret.

With less than 25 minutes remaining, Unai Emery made a substitution, as did Artim.

Mossoro and Salino came on to replace Lima and Viana.

Tang Hong stayed on the front line alone to retain the threat of counterattack.

Valencia's attack has been more difficult, Braga are now defending the goal, and the impact of the passage of time has made Valencia's performance more and more anxious, and the mistakes are increasing.

Tang Hong looked quite laid-back on the field, and he was walking when Valencia was attacking, walking from a heavily defended place to an area where the defense was looser and there was a direct turn and acceleration to form an offensive danger line.

It wasn't until Braga had the ball in control that he would suddenly kick in.

Most of Braga's backfield couldn't get him a direct touch, but it was enough to deter Valencia's defence.

After 75 minutes, Valencia gradually added up to the front.

Braga's counter-attack threat is also growing.

In the 78th minute of the game, when Salino's long pass from the back flew to the front, Tang Hong was the first to touch the ball in the forward rush, and as soon as he stopped the ball on the spot, he found Victor Luiz sticking up from behind, and he turned directly and knocked the ball forward with his heel.

When the ball passed over Victor Luis's head, Tang Hong had already passed him, and Victor Luis gave Tang Hong a hard push on the back when he turned decisively.

Tang Hong naturally fell to the ground, and Victor Luis innocently raised his hands after hearing the referee's whistle.

The referee walked up to Victor Luis and pulled out a glaring red card!

Valencia fans were shocked!

Victor Luis was also extremely surprised, and then pleaded with the referee for a long time, but he could only see the referee's ruthless gesture, pointing to the sidelines and signaling him to leave!

In order not to waste time for Valencia to fight for an equalizer, Victor Luiz walked to the sidelines, and when Emery came over to try to comfort him, Victor Luiz shook his head at Emery with a sad face and said: "We can't limit that Chinese striker at all, and now we pay the price!" Damn it! ”

What does it mean if Valencia can't equalise?

They will lose their ticket to the finals!

Because of this, Victor Luis's mentality naturally exploded.

"Valencia's second-half substitution, Victor Luiz, was sent off by the referee for a foul on Tang Hong!

It was indeed a foul when he pushed Tang Hong behind his back, after all, there was no reason to put the shovel, so he could only foul with his hands.

If Tang Hong runs two more steps to control the ball, it will be a single knife, so this is an excellent offensive opportunity, and the referee's decision is not controversial.

Valencia are now one man less and still behind, so if they can equalise, then a miracle will definitely need to happen! ”

Anyone can see that Tang Hong is in good shape today, mainly because of his good mentality.

He didn't have the visual impact of having to run to the Valencia goal after possession, but it made him look like he was at ease in this heavyweight encounter.

Compared with the last game, there are huge ups and downs in mentality, and there is a strong contrast.

Playing one more person put Yaltim at ease, Valencia did not make substitutions to fill the vacancy in the back line, but Yaltim does not plan to attack again, as long as he holds the defense line and does not lose the ball, then the team will be able to win the ticket to the final, and there is no need to make waves at this time.

Tang Hong also did not force hard work, so as not to put pressure on the defense line after losing the ball.

Playing one more person, Barbosa is in a position to assist Tang Hong in controlling the ball, and also allowing Tang Hong to have a contact point to better get rid of the opponent's encirclement and interception.

Valencia played in the final 10 minutes of the game with a rush as the cross-cutting combination simply couldn't penetrate Braga's box.

With little success, as long as Braga was in control of the ball, Tang Hong was able to stall for time from the midfield onwards with the assistance of Barbosa.

In the 87th minute of the game, when Tang Hong was protecting the ball on the right side of the front, Alba rushed over to force him, although Tang Hong did not have an advantage in confrontation and strength in front of many teammates, but he was still able to occupy a clear advantage in front of Alba.

Alba couldn't even grab Tang Hong's position, let alone cut off his connection with football.

In the end, he kicked Tang Hong's calf in anger.

Tang Hong was swept to the ground by the other party, and he didn't care about the pain in his calf, he stood up and looked down at Alba and scolded angrily: "If you want to fight, I will accompany you after the game, doing this on the field will only make you look dirty!" Bastard! ”

Alba retreated and left, not entangled with Tang Hong.

As soon as he turned around, he was blocked by Balbosa, who scolded Alba again, and Barbosa would certainly have more swear words that the other party could understand.

Alba pushed Barbosa away and the referee came to calm everyone down before showing Alba a yellow card.

Valencia's morale has hit rock bottom at the moment, with Braga's possession delaying only pushing them on the edge of the cliff.

With five minutes of stoppage time remaining, Valencia had only one effective attack and failed to find the back of the net, while Braga lost time on the ball and kept the game to the finish line.

When the referee blows the full-time whistle, Braga will raise their fists and roar in celebration of their reach for this season's Europa League final!
