Chapter 1164: The 1/4 finals that detonated the world

Cristiano Ronaldo's goal made it 1-0 for Portugal, but it didn't take long for Belgium to come into play, struggling at the back with Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne, Milaras and Romelu Lukaku.

Pepe, who returned from the ban, chose to let the ball pass in the 34th minute of the game in order to prevent the acceleration of Hazard, and only received his first yellow card of the game.

Hazard, who has become an important pawn in Chelsea's revival, has gradually shown his due quality, and his sharp breakthrough with the ball has caused the fans to marvel and attract wonderful comments from the commentators at the scene.

"Oh my God, he's been amazing! World-class! ”

"Accelerate accelerate, it's over! Ah...... Coentrão fouled! ”

"Splitting the ball? Beautiful, he's such a genius! It seems that there is a certain truth in Chelsea fans calling him Ai Er! ”

……

The commentators in the commentary booth praised Hazard more and more, and Hazard lived up to their expectations, and in the 39th minute of the game, his breakthrough caused a foul on Alves, and the referee on duty blew the whistle decisively, giving a yellow card and a penalty to Belgium.

As the team's number one penalty taker, Hazard's fundamentals were solid and he shot calmly, and after he made a feint to the right to deceive Beto's body, he suddenly changed his ankle and kicked the ball to the left of the goal.

The score then became 1:1

Interestingly, after the game turned into a draw, both sides had the intention of closing and kicking, and the score was ...... The whistle blew at the end of the first half and nothing changed, with both sides entering the dressing room with a score of 1-1.

In the second half, the game was divided into a stalemate, because both sides were unwilling to put more attacking players into the attack.

Such a change also caused dissatisfaction among many commentators on the scene, who felt that the two sides of the game were too unmotivated.

But in fact, there is nothing wrong with both sides, this is a game to beat each other to advance, that is to say, no one can afford to lose, because this is a World Cup once every four years, and no one knows whether they can continue to participate in the World Cup in the next four years, and it is unknown whether the state can continue at that time, so there is no problem in defending solidly and then waiting for an opportunity to attack.

The game passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of the game, and the managers of both sides also made certain adjustments to their positions during this time, but they did not do much in the general environment of focusing on defense.

In the case of a stalemate, it is natural that the so-called superstars are needed to open up the situation.

There was no doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo was the biggest star of the game, and he didn't let himself fall short by stepping up just when everyone thought it was going to extra-time.

※※※

The atmosphere at the Stade Nova Shuizun is still frenetic, with Belgian and Portuguese fans still desperately cheering for their teams in the hope that their backing teams will be able to beat their opponents in the final stages.

In the 89th minute, Moutinho suddenly accelerated forward to dribble the ball, and after attracting the attention of Widsel's defence, he made a decisive left-footed flick of his back, and the ball rolled towards Cristiano Ronaldo's lateral running path.

Widsser's attempt to get back into his defensive zone was clearly unrealistic, so Fellaini pressed forward, but he shook Cristiano Ronaldo's upper body and knocked the ball sideways with his left heel to deceive the center of gravity.

By the time captain Vincent Kompany pulled out to block, it was too late for Cristiano Ronaldo to shoot from 26 yards out.

The ball didn't spin in mid-air and flew towards the goal, goalkeeper Courtois's feet moved quickly, but it was obviously slow compared to the speed of the ball, and Cristiano Ronaldo's long-range shot was tricky.

In the end, the ball bounced into the goal by hitting the inside edge of the left post of the goal......

"-Whoa!!"

Suddenly, the new water source stadium was completely transformed into a sea of joy for Portuguese fans.

They all know what it means to score in this time period, which could well mean that the team will beat Belgium in the final stages!!

Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the goal, seemed to be excited, he opened his arms and roared all the way to the corner flag area on the right side of his side, only to see his right hand on the corner flagstick, his left index finger pointed at himself, and then pointed to the turf under his feet, as if to express - I, the king here!

In fact, Cristiano Ronaldo is the king of the game!

So no one stood up and said the opposite, and Cristiano Ronaldo's goal was a very beautiful and undisputed goal regardless of the significance of Cristiano Ronaldo's stunner!

It was also Cristiano Ronaldo's seventh goal of the tournament, and he came from behind to catch up with Iro.

The Belgians were very annoyed by conceding a goal in the closing stages of the game, and when the game restarted, they increased their attacking efforts because they knew that if they didn't put in the action, they would be the team that was eliminated.

So after taking the lead, Portugal's backline was put to the test, and even captain Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the penalty line to assist the team.

At this time, Portugal manager Paulo Bento and the Portuguese fans in the stands are arguably the most feared crowd on the planet.

Every shot and cross from the Belgian makes their hearts beat faster and they even close their eyes.

However, when the final whistle blew, the score was still fixed at 2:1, and Portugal relied on captain Cristiano Ronaldo's goal to win Belgium and advance to the quarterfinals.

However, the next fixtures are not very favorable for them, because ...... Portugal's opponent in the quarterfinals is Argentina led by Messi!

Portugal and Argentina can advance to the quarterfinals, the biggest reliance is on no one else, it is their star Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, if the two teams do not have these two, then whether they can advance to the quarterfinals must put a big question mark behind them.

Portugal, in particular, has been able to get to where it is now, thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Messi's form is indeed above the team as a whole, but it is undeniable that his assistants are much stronger than Cristiano Ronaldo's assistants, so the team led by the two can completely detonate the world when they meet in the quarterfinals.
