Due to the collision of the first leg, there were many more fans watching this game.

As for the scene.

The Stadium of Light, which has more than 65,000 seats, is full at this time.

The number of fans who traveled with the Villa team was not large, and it seemed a little small in front of the huge number of home fans.

It's no wonder that Benfica's home stadium is known as one of the devil's home stadiums.

In the pre-game handshake ceremony, the players on both sides only symbolically touched hands, after all, the anger of the last game has not been extinguished.

"Come on, Villa."

"Down with the European black shop."

"Premier League cheers."

"Come on Jose, I'm optimistic about your clean shop."

In the Huaxia live chat room, it was all fans who supported Villa.

Benfica kicked off first.

Villa defended passively.

Benfica's first wave of attacks.

Gaitan passes the ball straight into the box.

Lima takes the ball and shoots.

Vlaar blocked it and kept his shot out of the line.

Benfica get a corner from the left.

At this point, the game was just over a minute.

Soleimani was in charge of handling the corner.

Drive directly to the right side of the big penalty area.

10 yards in front of the door.

Benfica defender Garay leaps high.

Then, the header slammed into the ball.

The ball was immediately smashed towards the lawn in front of the goal on the right.

The ball was so fast that Jose suddenly had a bad feeling.

Jose realised that Garay's header was very different from a normal shot.

Because, it will be a ground bounce ball.

The ground bounces off the ball, which is affected by the grass, and the trajectory after the bounce is unpredictable.

Sure enough, after the ball hit the grass, it flew towards the direction of the lower right corner of the goal.

"Time and space pause."

José no longer hesitated and immediately used a plug-in stunt.

Without using stunts, Jose was more than 90 percent sure of touching the ball, but he was only 30 percent sure of it was blocking it.

Now is not the time to gamble on luck, and Jose has no reason not to use cheats.

With an extra second to react, Jose easily took the opponent's shot on goal.

"Clean Sheet~"

At this moment, such a call rang out from the stands of the Villa fans.

The slogans of the Villa fans have made Benfica's fans and players very unhappy.

Benfica's attack intensified.

…

In the 11th minute, Villa's attacking chance.

Benfica on the edge of the penalty area.

Benteke drove forward with the ball just as he was about to burst into the box.

A figure quickly approached.

That's Benfica defender Siqueira.

Siqueira fell to the ground and tackled, and cleanly shoveled the ball away from Benteke's feet.

Benfica had a high counter-attacking chance.

Gaitan splits the ball down the left flank.

Rodrygo dribbled the ball to the left side of the Villa penalty area.

Before Lowton could come back, Rodrygo crossed with his feet.

Instead of receiving the ball, Lima let it go to the right side of the penalty area.

From 10 yards out, Soleimani fired a direct left-footed volley.

The ball turned into a streamer and rolled towards the bottom left corner of the goal.

"It's a good fit, but it's hard for me."

José seemed to have foreseen all of this.

When the ball rolled in front of the goal line, he flew to it.

A horizontal leap and Jose single-handedly blocked Soleimani's shot.

Clarke kicked the ball out of the box as soon as possible.

Jose dismantled Benfica's fast attack.

…

The game continues.

In the 14th minute, Benteke fired a low shot from the middle.

It's a pity that the direction is too correct and was directly confiscated by the opposing goalkeeper Oblak.

In the 32nd minute, Benfica had another good chance.

Gaitan crosses from the left.

In the box, at least three Benfica players were ambushed.

José glanced at everyone's positions, already having the answer in mind.

8 yards in the middle of the door.

Siqueira got ahead of everyone and finished the goal.

The top is full of strength and the ball is very fast.

Jose didn't dare to be careless, and jumped directly into the air, blocking the ball out of the bottom line with both hands.

Just when the Benfica players thought that they had a corner kick opportunity, the assistant referee raised the flag to signal that Siqueira was offside, and his goal was naturally invalid.

Glancing at the individual positions in front of the field, Jose found that most of Benfica's players had overwhelmed the half.

It's a good opportunity to fight back quickly.

However, what made Jose crazy was that the caddie on the sidelines was slow to throw the ball over.

By the time Jose got the ball, he had already missed the opportunity to counter-attack quickly.

Benfica really made the most of home advantage.

…

In the 41st minute, Soleimani won the ball on the wing.

Bertrand intercepted it one-on-one.

Unfortunately, Bertrand was still too young and inexperienced, and was deceived by a not-so-clever feint by Soleimani.

After past Bertrand, Soleimani forced his way into the right side of the box.

Clark flew up to intercept.

Facing Clark, who was approaching, Soleimani forced his foot to shoot.

The angle of the shot is small, but the danger is extremely high.

"Let me come." Jose called out to Baker, who wanted to come and intercept him.

Soleimani's shot was easy for Jose to handle.

However, if Baker is allowed to come over to help clear the siege, then the possibility of being kicked into his door by him cannot be ruled out.

Hearing José's voice, Baker immediately stopped.

He is still very clear about José's ability.

Half-time stoppage time.

Gomez defended Delph and received his first yellow card of the game.

Subsequently, Delph also got the Topaz card while defending Siqueira.

In the final half, the two sides were still tied 0-0.

The two sides played each other for 135 minutes and did not score a single goal.

If it weren't for the intense enough scene, the fans would have left long ago.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

It was still Benfica who led the attack.

In the 55th minute,

Gaitan's left rib is plugged into the box.

The ball was at the feet of Rodrigo.

Rodrigo turns and takes the ball and crosses it to the far post.

At this time, on the right side of the small penalty area, Amorim and Maxi Pereira hit at the same time.

With only Bertrand on the right, it was obvious that he could not intercept the two attacking players.

Amorim took cover and blocked Bertrand with his body.

Unmarked Pereira completed the header.

The ball flies straight above the near corner.

Just when the ball is about to reach the goal line.

José flew to the scene.

Fish leaping dragon gate.

Jose leaps high on the right side of the goal.

Then he stretched out his hands and took the ball straight down.

"Shit." Pereira shouted unwillingly.

"Clean sheets, clean sheets."

The Villa fans stood out again with such a shout.

This made Benfica's players extremely unhappy.

As a result, Benfica's attack became more intense.

Two minutes later, Benfica struck into the box again.

On the left side of the penalty area, Gaitan takes the ball.

Lorton intercepts it.

One-on-one confrontation.

As a result, Gaitan had a slight advantage.

He pretended to cut inside, but instead pushed the ball.

Before Lowton could react, he let the ball slip under his crotch.

After getting past Lowton, Gaitan slotted into the left side of the six-yard box.

José blocked it.

However, Gaitan did not opt to shoot and crossed to the right side of the box.

Just as the ball crossed in front of goal, Baker reached out and touched the ball.

The ball immediately swerved and rolled towards the bottom of the centre of the goal.

"Own goal." Villa fans were shocked.

Just when it was thought that Baker was going to create an own goal, Jose flew in.

Right in the middle of the goal, José crossed his left foot and sat down on the spot, like a mountain, blocking the path of the ball.

Danger after danger, Jose blocked Baker's own goal.

"This Nathan Baker is an undercover agent for Benfica, right?"

"Just get used to it."

The game continues.

Villa's counter-attacks can occasionally break into the opposition penalty area, but they cannot threaten the opposition goalkeeper.

64th minute,

Weimann shoots from the edge of the box and is denied by Oblak.

In the 67th minute, Benteke won a corner kick and it went wide of the right post.

In the 69th minute, Ahmadi passed the ball and Abangraho shot from the left side of the penalty area, but it was still wide of the far post.

In the 67th minute, Benfica had a great chance.

Gaitan returns a pass from the left.

Lima stopped the ball and beat Vlar and Baker.

Eight yards from goal on the left side of the penalty area, Lima fired into the top right corner.

At this time, Jose was still on the left side of the goal, and he had not had time to return to the middle in order to prevent Gaitan's shot.

From the left side of the goal to the upper right corner, Jose can't get there even if he has a plug-in.

Keep in mind that the standard goal has a width of 7.32 meters and a height of 2.44 meters.

The flight time of the ball is only about 0.5 seconds, and if you add the plug-in to fight for one second, it is only 1.5 seconds.

It was a bit of a stretch to get from the left side of the goal to the right side of the goal and jump up in 1.5 seconds.

Of course, Lima's ability to get out of the trap of Vlaar and Baker and then shoot calmly was the most surprising thing.

José didn't expect it, not only because of the god-level prediction, but also because of his trust in Vlar.

If he could have made a prediction in advance, he only needed to move 2 meters to the right, which would be enough for him to deal with the accident.

José gave up using the space-time pause because it didn't help at all.

It seems that it is still necessary to raise the level of god-level prediction.

Is it just to let the other party break the door?

Once the opponent breaks the goal, with the current attack power of the Villa team, it is categorically impossible to equalize.

In this game, Villa's goal is simple, which is to drag it to the penalty shootout.

Now it seems that this goal will not be achieved.

Villa fans hid their faces and couldn't bear to look at them directly.

Benfica's fans are ready to cheer.

At this moment, suddenly a figure came out from the right side, and then jumped high in front of the goal.

That's Clarke, who has never been reused by Paul Lambert.

With a height of only 1.85 meters, he actually hit the ball.

That is, at this moment, Clark's bouncing force reached 60 centimeters.

He pushed Lima's shot off the line.

"Well done." Jose gave Clark a thumbs up.

And just like that, Vera escaped.

Benfica win a corner from the right.

The corner kick was taken and passed directly to the middle position.

In the confusion, Jose struck decisively, grabbed the ball from mid-air before everyone else.

Once again, Benfica came back in vain.

While all the opposing players were still in the Villa penalty area, Jose quickly took a goal kick.

Straight to the middle circle.

Abang Lajo grabs the ball.

A great one-shot opportunity.
