With the referee's whistle blowing, the earth-shaking cheers of the 425 stadium and the decisive battle between Penafiel and Iruca officially began!

Both teams were cautious after the start of the game.

Eluka tied up the fence wall, Penafiel actively organized the offensive but only relied on the front trident to probe, the midfielders did not dare to press at the beginning, after all, they were afraid of Iruka's sharp counterattack.

If you don't count the attacking and defensive statistics of Benfica B, Eluca is the team in the Portuguese league with second only attacking firepower after Bilanesses!

Eluka defended steadily and counterattacked, playing an invincible idea, and Ye Yifeng's performance was the most eye-catching when Penafiel's side actively launched an offensive.

Playing the ball up front and quickly smashing into the box when he had the chance, he will make the Elouca defence nervous whether or not there is a chance of success in the end.

And after the successful defense of Eluka, Ye Yifeng will immediately quickly return to the midfield, if the opponent advances the offensive from the right side, he can even chase all the way to the backfield!

His aggressive defense can strengthen Penafiel's midfield defense, at least Eluka's attack on the right side will fall into a dead end after hitting the front, and Ye Yifeng's pressing effect from the back is clear at a glance.

Fifteen minutes into the game ended without either team being able to produce a single shot on goal.

Most of the time in the midfield, Penafiel's offensive comes to the front to attack the dangerous area and will also be efficiently surrounded by the opponent.

Penafiel began to pick up momentum, with midfielders Tsizinho and Organista taking turns on the edge of the Eluka penalty area to improve Penafiel's attacking continuity.

However, Elouca appeared to be experienced, with the back line retreating into the box to compress the defensive space, and the five midfielders shrinking the encirclement to the front of the penalty area, and taking turns to press and combine to make the Peñafiel attack group difficult.

Fouls began to mount between the two teams, with Iruka being decisive at the back, but fouls were immediately taken whenever they were broken or a position did not keep up with the opponent.

Foul as much as possible outside the thirty-yard area in front of goal.

Penafiel is also restricting the opponent's quick counterattack, but whenever the local defense is lonely, he will also decisively foul!

It is difficult to present a wonderful picture in the game, and it is unrealistic to expect the team to play wide and merge, and the technical and tactical strength does not have the confidence of the opponent, so it will not take the initiative to expose the weaknesses of the defensive line.

After 30 minutes, Penafiel focused on bombarding crosses from both wings.

However, the cautiousness of the full-back's assist led to the fact that whether it was Ye Yifeng crossing from the left or Roberson starting the ball on the right, there was only one point in the middle, and the attack was never successful.

After 40 minutes, Gary Bouel stepped up to play a quick cross to Roberson and then went down to cross in front of the baseline.

At this time, Rui Miguel grabbed a point in front of the goal, Robertson cut into the penalty area and grabbed the front point, and Ye Yifeng quickly ran to the back of the penalty area to ambush!

Gary Bouel's cross went past the edge of the box but was headed clear by tall centre-back Mika.

The Penafyere fans in the stands were slightly disappointed, but hopeful.

But this time, after the clearance of the Iluka penalty area, the midfield quickly instigated a counterattack with three passes and two downs, they did not play on the right side, and Luis Pinto was chased by Ye Yifeng from behind several times and lost the ball has been a little out of order!

However, Solares on the left side took advantage of Gary Buel's failure to return to the defense in this counterattack.

When he got to the flank in front of the box, Penafiel centre-back Santos stepped in to defend him.

Solares decisively kicked up and sent a diagonal pass close to the ground.

The ball rolls into the left rib of the penalty area.

Clement, the top scorer in the Eluka team, was followed by Neves in the active run.

At the moment of touching the ball, Clement stopped and smashed the ball to change direction and cross-cut, Neves mistakenly thought that the opponent would shoot directly and blocked the opponent's front line, resulting in this time being directly erased by the opponent!

As he passed by the other party, Neves looked terrified.

It's over!

Clement took a step sideways towards the penalty spot in the penalty area, and goalkeeper Coelho had just run two steps before Clement got up and pushed.

The ball rolled into the bottom right corner of the goal at a tricky angle, and Coelho made a flurry save.

The moment the football rolled into the Penafiel goal, the 425 stadium resounded with cheers from the Aluca fans!

With a smile on his face, Clement rushed to the front of the away fans' stands with his arms open, enjoying the cheers of the fans!

El Luca coach Victor Oliveira gritted his teeth and clenched his fists with both hands, vibrating up and down several times.

Steady!

"Clement pushes and scores!

He calmly slammed down Penafiel captain Neves!

Elouca leads Penafiel away from home!

The unexciting game suddenly thundered on the ground!

Elouca's opening goal at the 425 pitch seemed to have sealed their victory!

Unless they are reversed by Penafiel, they are bound to be promoted to next season's Portuguese Super League!

Is this the end of Penafiel's miracle?

Will their first nine rounds of hard work be in vain? ”

Miguel Rael seemed to hide his nervousness after conceding the goal, and he raised his hand to pull his hair haphazardly, but he didn't notice that his neat hairstyle was messed up.

He clapped his hands and encouraged the team to keep their mentality calm and not lose their balance by conceding a goal.

But his own unnatural expression clearly revealed the panic in his heart.

The Penafiel fans in the stands were like a bolt from the blue, and the cheering came to an abrupt end, not because they didn't think that the team would concede the first goal, but because they didn't want to think about this possibility from beginning to end!

What's next?

They need to score at least two goals to come back from defeat!

But the team's performance doesn't even look like a threat to the opponent's goal, how can they score?

It's not that Penafiel is doing badly, it's that Elouca's buses are airtight!

With the strength of Elouca, the entire Portuguese Liga team that has the ability to destroy the bus can be counted in one slap.

Unfortunately, among the teams that objectively evaluate the strength of the team, it is clear that Penafiel is not one of the teams with the absolute ability to penetrate the Eluca bus.

Captain Neves has no problem with air defense, and he does have shortcomings in dealing with smart strikers, and this time he was deducted and caused the opponent to push and score, and he is to blame.

But he bred himself up, raised his head and bravely faced the next match.

There must be disappointment in the hearts of the Penafiel generals, but now is definitely not the time to give up.

The situation has changed from difficult to difficult!

The cheers of the Penafiel fans were heard again in the stands!

They did not give up their support.

How can a player on the field give up fighting?

After kick-off, the Peñafiel team continued to keep their morale high and tried to tear apart the Iruca defence, but to little avail.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

Penafiel's enthusiasm in the face of Elouca's iron bucket formation can't come up with a good way or equalize as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will be half cold.
