167. The league championship is in hand
3-0, Benfica beat Sporting Lisbon on their home turf was something that no one expected, and when the whistle ended, everyone was stunned.
What's even more shocking is that in this round of the game, Porto, which has always been at the top of the league table, lost to Braga very strangely, which is undoubtedly the self-destruction of the future of the Porto people.
At this time, there are only three rounds left in the league, and Porto is now three points behind Benfica. This is very exciting for Benfica fans, really excited, and they are already celebrating the league title at this time.
And Porto's fans are very confused, they don't believe that Porto will drop the chain at such a critical moment, this is incredible, Porto is their own to give up the top of the league, Porto fans are a little confused.
After this round of matches, the wind of media coverage throughout Portugal changed all of a sudden, and immediately all tilted towards Benfica. At this time, Porto made such an unforgivable mistake, which is tantamount to self-destruction of the Great Wall, so how can we get everyone to support the Porto team?
Now the whole Portuguese think that the league title is already in Benfica's pocket, but Benfica themselves are very sober, and the more they get to this point, the more cautious they must be, they don't want to repeat the mistakes of Porto.
At this time, Benfica's players are very serious, very cautious, even more cautious than the preparation of the Champions League and Roma team. At this time, there is no room for sloppiness, and the Benfica people know it very well.
Benfica's opponents in the three rounds are Setúbal, Navar and Cobra Indeportivo University, three teams, all three teams are not very strong, in terms of strength, Benfica should be very easy to beat them.
However, at this time, Benfica did not have any contemptive thoughts. This is a critical moment to be sloppy.
At this time, the Porto people are hoping that Benfica can do something so that they can have a chance to catch up later. Otherwise, they Porto will not have a chance to win the league title.
In fact, at this point, Porto are not satisfied at all, they have been leading for almost a whole season, but they dropped the chain at the moment of Zuihou, allowing Benfica to surpass, and their mood is very bad.
They don't want to give up the league title to Benfica's guys, even if it is difficult to get ahead, they Porto will fight, at least to cause some problems for Benfica. Of course, at this time, they Porto are still convinced that the league title of Zuihou belongs to them.
At this time, Sporting Lisbon is still coveting the second position in the league, and can directly advance to the Champions League without playing the Champions League qualifiers, which is of course the most haode, Sporting Lisbon is not without a chance to surpass Porto, but this opportunity is a little slim, but Sporting Lisbon people will not give up.
In this case, the penultimate round of the league began, Benfica's opponent is Setúbal, for Setúbal Chuzer is relatively familiar, last season, when he was in Bellamar, Qiuze and Setúbal had a fight, this season, the first leg of the game between the two sides Qiu Ze also played, he knows the characteristics of Setúbal, he is confident that he can get all three points on Setúbal.
In this game, Benfica is away, although it is away, but there are still a lot of fans who went to the away stadium to cheer for Benfica. Every game is very important for Benfica now, and at this time, Benfica fans certainly won't let Benfica go alone.
After the beginning of the game, Sebatour felt the pressure from Benfica, at the beginning of the game, Benfica did not strive for any stability, they directly launched a fierce attack as soon as they came up, and attacked Setúbal, which made Setúbal who was fighting at home a little unbearable.
Yes, Benfica's attack is very fierce, and the fans of Setúbal at the scene can feel it cleanly, they feel that their team can't compete with Benfica at all, Benfica today is simply too strong.
Just five minutes into the game, Benfica threatened Setúbal's goal. The ball was initiated by Qiu Ze in the middle, and after Qiu Ze continued to fall in the midfield, he suddenly dribbled forward, shook off the unexpected Sebatur midfield, and then sent the ball to the side.
Simão on the wing didn't cut inside after receiving the ball, and went straight to the bottom of the cross, and the ball flew into the Setúbal penalty area at high speed. In the box, Benfica striker Nuno 61 Gomez jumped high and headed the ball towards Setúbal's goal.
The Setúbal fans at the scene were all pale at that time, and almost Setúbal lost the ball, but fortunately, Setúbal's goalkeeper reacted in time and hit the football to the bottom line in time, and Setúbal escaped, otherwise they would have lost the ball just five minutes into the game.
However, they still did not escape the fate of conceding the goal, and it was after this opportunity that Benfica won a corner kick, and in the corner area, Simão curled the ball into the box. Nuno 61 Gomez in the box jumped high and didn't hit the ball, which flew to the middle.
In the amazed eyes of everyone, Qiu Ze, who rushed into the penalty area, jumped high and smashed the football into the gate of Setúbal like a rocket in the air, 1-0.
Benfica's start to the game was very smooth, which is also a reflection of the true strength of both sides. Setúbal parried for only seven minutes before their gate was lost.
Setúbal's fans saw the football smashing into the net, they couldn't help but sigh, there is no way to do this ball, Setúbal has defended it well, who would have thought that Qiu Ze would suddenly rush in and slam the hammer at Setúbal's goal?
After scoring that goal, Benfica's players were noticeably more relaxed. In fact, the pressure on the Benfica players in this game is also very great, they can't lose this game, if they lose, Porto will come from behind, at that time, it will be difficult for Benfica to surpass Porto.
Opportunities like this are repeated again and again, and the Benfica people must seize such opportunities, otherwise, God will not look past you and will punish you.
Benfica's players played more freely after relaxing, and the Benfica players were obviously much higher than Setúbal in jishu, and the relaxed Benfica played more smoothly and more dazzlingly, and the Setúbal people couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the Benfica people at all.
In the 33rd minute of the game, Benfica's Qiu Ze took the ball, and his feet continued to break through Setúbal's back, and then rushed the ball to Setúbal's backline, and Setúbal's central defender immediately rushed out.
Seeing Setúbal's central defender rushing out quickly, Qiu Ze immediately dribbled horizontally, pulling Setúbal's central defender to the side, and then, he directly shook his ankle and knocked the football horizontally to the middle, Mikoli, who rushed up from the side, did not stop the ball, and volleyed directly, and the football shot towards Setúbal's goal as fast as lightning.
The ball Mikoli kicked very liliang, the ball speed was very fast, the football shot like lightning towards Setúbal's goal, Setúbal's goalkeeper reacted in time, but the ball was too fast, although his fingertips touched the football, so that the football changed direction, but the ball still smashed into Setúbal's goal.
2-0, Benfica led Setúbal by two goals, and by this time, no one doubted that Benfica would be able to win the game, at this time, Benfica fans were already starting to celebrate the victory, they were very happy, happy for Benfica's results.
In the second half, Benfica played very freely, and in the 69th minute of the game, Benfica scored the third goal of the game.
It was a direct free-kick, but it wasn't Qiu Zelai's penalty, it was Benfica's Rui 61 Costa who took the spot. Rui 61 Costa made a beautiful curling kick to lock the score of the game at 3-0.
At 3-0, Benfica beat Setúbal to continue leading the standings. Now Benfica have sixty-eight points. Porto, on the other hand, are on 65 points after beating their opponents, still three points behind Benfica.
Now there are two rounds left in the league, and of course, in the next round, Benfica have the possibility of winning the title early. However, in such a situation, Porto must not be able to win, however, the probability is very small, and it is not the strength of Porto, just the strength of Porto's opponents, Porto can also win easily.
Because in the next round of matches, Porto's opponent is Bellamar, who are at the bottom of the league, and it is really difficult for Porto to lose this game. Now that Bellamar has been relegated, they should not have any extravagant expectations for the rest of the game.
Qiu Ze saw his old club go to the Super League for one season and then return to the First Division, and he felt very uncomfortable. He wants Bellamar to play their morale, play their quality and show the Super League fans how good they are.
In the penultimate round of the league, Benfica continued to go away, which was Benfica's second consecutive away game. However, their opponents in these two games were not very strong, and they also have a lot of confidence in this away game.
At this time, Porto fans hope that Benfica can suffer a miserable Waterloo, and there are not many opportunities left for them now.
On this day, there are still a lot of fans who go to the away stadium to cheer for Benfica, they want to see the Benfica people win, and they will grow with Benfica on the road to the title.
After the start of the game, Benfica also encountered some problems, Nawal's resistance was very stubborn, and at one point Benfica fell into chaos. Nawal, on the other hand, came close to scoring in the chaos, and Benfica played a heart-wrenching first half.
However, after the start of the second half, Benfica was like a different team, and they played very well and very well.
In the twenty-ninth minute of the second half, Benfica finally broke the balance when a powerful long-range shot from outside the box from Qiu Ze was a powerful long-range shot from outside the box that Navarre's goalkeeper did not react at all, and the ball flew straight into Navarre's goal.
It was also the only goal of the game, with Benfica narrowly beating their opponents by one goal. With only one round left in the league, Benfica have 71 points and they are still three points ahead of Porto, and in this way, the league title race has been dragged into the Zuihou round.
In the first round of Zuihou, Benfica hosted Corbra Universidad de Sport, and as long as Benfica did not lose this game, they would be the league champions of the season.
There were a lot of Benfica who came to the Stadium of Light on this day, the Stadium of Light was overcrowded, and they came to celebrate today's league championship, at this time, the Benfica people seemed to think that they were the league champions.
Just two minutes into the game, Benfica scored with Nuno 61 Gomez, who received Qiu Ze's through ball directly to the Manchester United goalkeeper and sent the ball into the goal of Copra Indeportivo Universidad de Sport, 1-0.
As soon as the goal went into the net, the entire Stadium of Light boiled over, and the Benfica fans were excited, knowing that the league title was in their hands.
