After a short pause, the game resumed.

And the restarted game is obviously more intense than before.

The Spanish team, which was leading, originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to score first, take advantage of the opponent's panic to chase after the victory, and strive to lay down the victory. But what is surprising is that Portugal recovered quickly, except for some instability at the beginning, and then the defense remained intact, and the fight was more active than before, and it was difficult for Spain to have a chance to penetrate.

Portugal used a tough defense to frustrate the opponent's plan to take advantage of the victory, and after stabilizing their footing, Portugal is more determined to seek opportunities for counter-attack, which is understandable, the score is already behind, and if they don't want to lose in the end, they have no other way but to attack.

To Spain's surprise, the Portuguese counteroffensive came so resolutely and swiftly that it almost poured out. Running aggressively, fighting aggressively, and investing a lot of troops in the attack, Portugal is going to give it a go.

Not to mention, the effect is extremely obvious, Spain did not expect Portugal to explode with such a huge energy after losing the goal on the first day of the new year, and it was quite unprepared, and there was a lot of danger in front of the goal.

Fortunately, the energy of the back line is very concentrated, and Casillas's performance is still brave, blocking left and right, and repeatedly resolving crises.

This wave of offensive has made Spain fearful, and they pay more attention to controlling the pace of the game, Xavi and Iniesta are no longer in a hurry to move forward, but to control the football at their feet as much as possible, and the scene is developing towards a stalemate.

Of course, this kind of situation is also good for Spain, after all, they have the strongest midfield in world football, they are also good at playing the ball, and most importantly, they have a leading scoreline, which gives them a lot of confidence to play with the opponent.

Portugal obviously can't compete with Spain in terms of time, and they also understand that going all out against the opponent is a great hidden danger for the backfield defence, but the situation behind them has no choice. It's clear that there aren't so many concerns now, and there is no difference between conceding one goal and conceding more, they just have to give it a go and try to score goals and bring both sides back to the same line.

In the 67th minute, C. Ronaldo broke through on the wing, shook two Spanish players in a row, and suddenly sent the ball diagonally to the right side of the penalty area.

Two minutes later, Ronaldo made a comeback, also with Simao, but this time the shot was replaced by Ronaldo himself, and he made a feint from outside the box, causing Pique to lean over, but he suddenly flicked the ball and then hit the goal, Casillas struggled to get the ball off the line.

In the ensuing corner, C. Ronaldo jumped up and rubbed his head in front of the spot, Thiago slid in the middle and tackled, but failed to touch the football, the football slid quickly in front of the goal, shocking the fans on the scene in a cold sweat, Portugal once again missed a good opportunity to score.

Portugal's successive attacks can be said to have created a great threat, but correspondingly, because of the all-out attack, the defensive strength of the central midfield was weakened, and the Spanish team seized this and used accurate and fast passes to create opportunities to expand the score.

In the 71st minute, Capdevilla stepped in the assist and found Llorente in the box with a long diagonal pass, who forced Carvalho to shake his head to attack, and in the face of a shot from close range, Eduardo had already surrendered, but the ball hit the crossbar and then bounced off the bottom line.

A minute later, Xavi's precise long pass from the back found Van Bizhuang, who was sprinting down the flank, and the latter made a bold assault to 28 metres outside the box, and unjustifiably a heavy shot that Eduardo flew to punch the ball out.

Spain's best chance to extend the advantage came in the 79th minute, Van Bizhuang burst into the penalty area with the ball, faced Pepe's squeeze and push, carried his club teammate with his back, knocked the ball back to him, Alonso inserted the ball in the back row and shot angrily, but this inevitable shot, Alonso was kicked and did not play with power, and the football was once again confiscated by Eduardo.

The pitch was fully in full swing, with both teams having chances to score but failing to capitalise on them, especially Spain, who were slow to extend their advantage, leaving Portugal with hope of an equaliser.

In the 85th minute, Ronaldo's continuous breakthroughs in the front field attracted the attention of most defenders, but it was a high-quality and hidden through ball that tore apart the Spanish backline.

"A brilliant pass from Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese superstar showed another skill in addition to scoring goals, and his passing ability was also eye-opening!"

"Single knife! Single Knife!! Simão faced the goalkeeper single-handedly! This is Portugal's best chance to score! This will be a chance to save Portugal's destiny! ”

"The duel between Simão and Casillas, who is the final winner!"

The scene was silent, and the fans were so nervous that they didn't dare to come out, only the sharp exclamations of the commentators kept ringing out.

The victory or defeat is already clear in the blink of an eye.

Casillas quickly abandoned the goal, his position was also very smart, almost covering Simao's possible shooting lines, and in the face of the menacing San Cassie, Simão seemed a little flustered and hesitant, the distance between the two kept shrinking, Simão finally raised his foot, and his left foot rubbed to the point of football.

He opted for a lob shot, which was the best way to shoot at a small angle.

But Casillas seemed to have expected this, and at the moment when he was about to lose his balance, he waved his hands high, and the football flying in mid-air was hit by a pair of big hands, and the football flew out of the penalty area, and Ramos cleared the football out of the boundary with a big foot.

Casillas won this one-on-one duel, and he defended the Spanish team's gate with both hands!

"Pounced out! Pounced out!! Kathy! Kathy!! Kathy...... Lias! Worthy of St. Cassie! He reacted so fast, he played incredible, he kept the goal and he helped his team to keep the one-goal lead! ”

"Incredible! Incredible!! It's incredible!! Simão missed the chance to score a solo goal, oh my God, Portugal will hardly have such a good opportunity again, and in this brotherly battle, the Spanish team will probably have the last laugh! ”

Simon crouched on the ground in frustration, and behind him, C. Ronaldo held his head in his hands, his face full of disbelief...... Maybe for C. Ronaldo, this single failure is the heaviest blow, he has done everything he can, but ...... It can only be said that C. Ronaldo's biggest regret is that he does not have a team that can help and support him, he can only play the lone hero, but obviously, the lone hero is not so easy to be, because he has a group of teammates around him who can pull him back at any time...... Well, anyway, at this moment, Casillas is the hero of the whole team, and with this single save, he is like saving the whole world! ”

Casillas sprang up from the ground and roared wildly, both to cheer himself up and to celebrate the successful save.

Simão was in front of him, and he stepped forward and touched the other's head as a sign of comfort.

He glanced at C. Ronaldo not far away, this club teammate was standing in place with his hands on his hips at the moment, and his former self-confidence seemed to have disappeared, and some were only deeply helpless.

Casillas is also a little embarrassed, but this is football, here, they are enemies, so all he can do is help his team win as much as possible.

Casillas clapped his hands on C. Ronaldo and gave him a thumbs up, but C. Ronaldo just nodded faintly and then turned around and walked back. It's just that at this moment, in Casillas's opinion, C. Ronaldo's back is so lonely and bleak.

Complicated emotions have just come to mind, teammates have already cheered and run over, or shouted excitedly, or slapped shoulders, or ravaged hair, this magical save made all the Spanish players excited.

……

The game continued.

However, after this excellent score but not scored, the spirit of the Portuguese team was like a free fall, almost disappearing.

It's hard for them to raise their fighting spirit to launch a threatening offensive anymore, C. Ronaldo is still shouting, still running and scrambling, he is not willing to give up, even if the end of defeat is doomed, but he is still running.

It's just that no matter how unwilling he is, he is also unable to support himself and has no power to return to the sky.

Spain's defence was solid, but their attacking was continuous, and with a strong midfield firmly controlling the tempo of the game, Portugal's counterattack was completely extinguished.

In the 87th minute of the game, Portugal suffered another heavy blow, the Spanish team played a fast attack, in the scramble, Capdevilla fell to the ground, Portuguese defender Costa fouled behind the tackle, the referee showed him a red card, and drove him off the field.

The scene fell behind, the score was also behind, and now there was one less player on the field, and the Portuguese team completely fell into the abyss of defeat.

"There's no chance! Portugal doesn't stand a chance! The result is already doomed, and C. Ronaldo can only leave the stage of the World Cup in South Africa with unwillingness and regret! ”

"Maybe Portugal's out, C. Ronaldo's out, for many fans who like him, is extremely regrettable and painful, but this is football! Spain are stronger and Van is even better, so they can win in the end! ”

"We can declare that the last quarter-final spot of this World Cup has been born, and they are - the Matadors, Spain!"

In the hustle and bustle, the sharp whistle at the end of the game finally sounded, and the score was fixed at 1:0.

In this brotherly dispute, in this strong dialogue between Fan Bizhuang and C. Ronaldo, Spain and Fan Bizhuang finally had the last laugh and became the last team to advance to the quarterfinals in this World Cup!
