The referee glanced at Gabi.

If it is by the standard, Gabi will also have to receive a yellow card, because he is the one who really takes the initiative to scuffle.

But the referee found a balance.

His whistle is loose, and Portugal and Spain are actually the beneficiaries.

They all dodged a lot of yellow cards.

Yet three minutes later.

The Spanish fans reveled.

Because in the 79th minute, Arteta and Iniesta teamed up to hit near the penalty area, Arteta's pass was blocked by Font, and the ball fell to Torres.

Torres passes back to Gabi.

Sapper Gabi kicked straight through.

Iniesta sprinted against offside, went to the meeting alone, and took the left side to dribble and volley from a small angle to complete the goal.

It was a very extreme goal.

Full of luck.

But Spain scored the goal.

Two to one.

Once again, they took the lead.

Violante on the bench hugged his head.

Pep Guardiola in the stands smiled.

That's football.

It's not that you have arranged everything, and the facts will definitely develop according to your arrangement.

Portugal hardly made any mistakes in this game.

Are they not good defensively?

Good.

But they conceded the first goal.

It's anti-science.

Similarly, after the Spanish team scored the first goal, it was almost impossible for them to concede a goal according to their style of play.

As a result, Quaresma's outside instep volley shot down the stars, leaving Spain, who couldn't possibly concede.

This is equally anti-science.

And now, the Portuguese have resorted to foul tactics and even provoked the wrath of the Spanish players, making them lose their minds. Make their passing control radical.

This is a hidden danger for the Spanish team, who are already slowly gaining the upper hand.

However, Iniesta scored at this time.

These three goals all hit the waist of the Emperor who understands the ball.

Football tactics are something full of technique and rationality.

But the result is often the opposite.

That's the beauty of football.

The match between Portugal and Ghana in the first round of the group stage of the 2022 World Cup is the ultimate embodiment of this contradiction.

In the first half, the only most threatening player in the Portuguese midfield was Otavio, who could not open the situation and needed more players of Otavio's style, but the Portuguese coach replaced Otavio with a backhand and a black and slow.

From a technical point of view, this substitution was a disaster.

But less than a minute after the substitution, Portugal scored.

It's outrageous.

And at this moment, the Portuguese U16 on the field has suffered such an outrageous situation.

They were clearly closer to victory, but suddenly they took a sharp turn and were choked by Iniesta's sword.

Eighty-first minute.

The Portugal team, who had not yet recovered from their senses, were easily penetrated by Andres Iniesta's dribbling and small cooperation with his team-mates, Arteta held the ball on the edge of the penalty area, and saw another pass, the football was about to go into the box again, and Torres was mostly single-handed.

At the crucial moment, Portugal right-back Bosingwa completed an excellent defense.

But he also received a yellow card for it.

Spain did not strongly demand that the referee give Bosingwa a yellow card.

Because they're already ahead.

If it's a draw, they're going to have to surround the referee again.

The free-kick was taken by Andres Iniesta.

His free-kick skills are good.

But perhaps Iniesta's foot feel has also been affected.

The shot couldn't go over the wall.

Portuguese centre-back Fonte leaped high and blocked the shot with his face without hesitation.

Duadi next to him cleared the siege as soon as possible, and then the referee blew to stop the game.

Fonte's nose was bleeding profusely.

The team doctor hurried in.

After several tests, Fonte was unable to accurately identify the team doctor's fingers.

When they tapped their fingers, Font even touched the team doctor in the face.

It was a clear concussion reaction and Font couldn't hold on to the game.

Violante replaced Fonte with Angelo.

At the same time, Amorim was brought on for left wing-back Ribeiro.

Portugal's back four turned into three defenders, and there was an Amorim who could attack and defend, and he wanted to fight with Spain in the midfield and strengthen the attack.

Because according to the current score, the Portuguese team is obviously going to lose.

Amorim, Veloso, Deng Kai, Meireles, Lorenzo and others actively pressed.

Even Cristiano Ronaldo and Quaresma retreated across the board, staring at the Spanish team's midfield.

To be reasonable, from a tactical point of view at this time, the Portuguese team is dangerous again.

Because they were thoroughly drawn to the Spanish team.

But the problem is that the Spanish team had a strong confrontation today.

Players such as Andres Iniesta have seen a significant decline in fitness.

Although he could still control the ball, his reaction was a beat slower, and most of them could only pass back, but could not accurately grasp the flaws exposed by the Portuguese team.

In the 83rd minute, Amorim contributed a tackle, and Deng Kai passed the ball to Quaresma.

Quaresma volleys wide.

Actively participating in the scramble, his feet were already cold.

In the 85th minute, Andres Iniesta seized a hole and plugged through the center Gomez. Gomez, who retreated to pick up, turned and finished a long-range shot, but it was not of high quality and was directly held by Valle.

Instead of falling to the ground, Valle kicked off quickly.

The football went past everyone and went straight to Cristiano Ronaldo on the left.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Allegri raced, stopping the football more than 10 meters away from the ball during high-speed movement, and then continued the race.

Allegri was not as fast as Cristiano Ronaldo, and finally lost it.

But when Ronaldo was about to catch up with the football, he was hit by a Gabi flying tackle coming from the side!

Gabby has finally completed his revenge!

Ronaldo rolled continuously, his expression very painful.

The foul made the Portuguese players lose their minds.

A number of players, including Deng Kai, rushed straight over.

Lorenzo, who ran the fastest, directly lifted Gabi who stood up.

He came off the bench and had a lot of energy.

As soon as Gabi stood up, Deng Kai had already rushed over again, and his gravitational acceleration knocked Gabi over again.

"I'll grass you jungle!"

Taking advantage of Gabi's dizziness, Deng Kai took advantage of the clash on the pitch for the first time.

The players of the Spanish team were also involved in this clash in order to support Gabi.

The players, including the players on the bench, were also involved in the conflict, and everyone kept pushing and shoving.

The referee was furious.

Become a card master and catch who to give to whom.

On the Portuguese side, Deng Kai, Lorenço, and Amorim were dyed yellow.

On the Spanish side, Gabi, who was beaten badly, also received a yellow card because of his flying tackle on Ronaldo. If he had fought back, he would have been red-carded, but the problem was that he couldn't get pushed.

And Spanish midfielder Mikel Arteta, central defenders Nano and Gonzalez also received yellow cards.

The Spanish side made a decisive substitution.

At the same time, in this way to stall for time.

This caused extreme dissatisfaction among the Portuguese players.
