167 Take the lead

Braga led Schalke 4:2 at Schalke Stadium 04.

Schalke 04, who played at home, could only attack Braga's defense with all his strength.

In the 63rd minute of the game, Hunteral's long shot from the penalty area line attracted Falfan's dissatisfaction. The latter had already cut in the position in an open position, but Hunteral did not pass the ball.

If the score was not always behind, Falfan would probably have no complaints, and it would be normal for the center to have higher firing rights.

Two minutes later, Viana gave Lima a straight pass on the right side. The latter had just drifted the ball and wanted to break through but was blocked by Matip's foul. The referee showed Matip a yellow card.

When the game time came to the 68th minute, Raul received a pass from Foeth in the left rib of the penalty area and pulled the ball back and dodged Eveton's lower foot interception, followed by the ball across the middle.

Hunterlaer went forward and raised his foot and shot. Coelho made a limit to block the ball from the bottom line!

call!

All the fans were extremely nervous. If Coelho had not blocked the ball just now, Hunteral's shot would undoubtedly enter.

After 71 minutes of the game, Schalke 04's offense did not weaken at all. When Heg came to the front of the penalty area to receive Draxler's pass and completed a long shot, Braga got a good counterattack opportunity.

Hege's long shot was blocked by Evetton and went to the side. Ezijejel stopped the ball and sent a straight pass.

Tang Hong looked at the rolling football from the left side of the backcourt and immediately started, Atsuto Uchida intercepted the front.

When the two were less than two meters apart, Tang Hong, who was originally running forward in a straight line, suddenly raised his right foot to do a change of direction when the football was about to roll to his feet, and at the same time he turned his body to the running position and accelerated towards the inside line in front of the right!

Atsuto Uchida quickly moved his center of gravity to try to keep up with Tang Hong, but just took a step but was shocked to find that Tang Hong turned to the running position and did not touch the ball!

The football continues to roll forward near the side road!

Atsuto Uchida instantly retracted his center of gravity and tried to stretch his legs to intercept the football, but he obviously overestimated his physical flexibility of stopping and turning sharply, especially when his center of gravity had been deceived by Tang Hong!

Uchida Atsuto's legs were still slower to intercept, and the football had already rolled along the inside of the sideline!

At that moment, he suddenly realized that the ball was not intercepted, and the person was lost!

Tang Hong changed direction and scored the ball like a man. After running past Atsuto Uchida, he went back to the outside line and dribbled from the side and continued to advance quickly!

Uchida Atsuto fell to the ground behind him, eager to turn around again, but the center of gravity was unstable and sat on the ground, now completely losing his defensive ability.

The Braga fans in the stands were not surprised by this, but Schalke 04 fans were amazed. The showdown between the two Asian players can be said to be Tang Hong’s complete victory!

When Tang Hong dribbled into the area outside the top corner of the penalty area, facing Papadopolos, Tang Hong knocked the ball behind his left foot and CHOP changed direction and cross cut. Papadopolos immediately moved sideways and blocked his shooting angle, but Tang Hong dunked the ball back to the front of the left next, and accelerated to kill from Papadopolos!

Just as Papadopoulos quickly turned around and returned to defense, Jermaine Jones quickly rushed towards Tang Hong. Seeing that he was about to be in a double-team situation, Tang Hong suddenly knocked the ball back to the top of the penalty area.

Everyone's eyes turned, and the scene that caught their eyes made Schalke 04 player's scalp numb!

Barbosa came to his sight!

Matip decisively gave up his marks and rushed outside the penalty area but it was too late.

Barbosa made a quick and straightforward shot from the instep and hit the ball towards the upper left position in the middle of the goal!

Goalkeeper Hildebran made a save and even touched the football with his right hand, but the football changed slightly and flew into Schalke 04's goal!

The home team fans who went to the stands of Schalke Stadium looked serious and lost.

It's finished!

The suspense completely disappeared!

"Wow! Barbosa scored a long-range shot! Braga led the home team Schalke 04 5:2 away!

Another wonderful counterattack!

Tang Hong's way of passing Uchida Atsuto was extremely clever. Then he broke through Papadopoulos at the front of the penalty area and passed the ball back to the triangle in the penalty area, with a beautiful assist.

The angle of the heavy artillery of Balbosa's shot is not tricky, but it is enough to make Hildebran unable to turn the world back!

Braga almost killed Schalke 04, and now they lead three goals!"

After Barbosa scored, he rushed towards Tang Hong, jumped up and was hugged by Tang Hong. He roared and raised his right fist. The Braga fans in the stands of the visiting team fans were already in a state of madness!

Hub Stevens lowered his head and wiped his face. The scene of this game was really powerless.

It would be impossible to say that Braga had not predicted before the game that he would play a defensive counterattack.

After all, I should be mentally prepared if I only look at Brad and how Manchester United was eliminated in one round.

However, with Schalke 04's lineup configuration, players like Hunterlaer, Falfan, Raul, and Draxler, if Schalke 04 doesn't play more proactively, do they have any other choice?

Besides, if you don’t strive to defeat your opponent in the two-round knockout stage, you will get an advantageous result. What’s the confidence to go away in the second leg?

If there is anything beyond expectations, it is that Braga not only fought sharply, but also blossomed at multiple points!

Braga scored 5 goals today, Tang Hong took over 2, and the remaining 3 were scored by different players.

This was something Stevens had never expected before the game.

Braga has disadvantages and advantages in playing tough battles in the league. The disadvantage is that winning is no longer so easy. The advantage is that passing speed and cooperation awareness between teams continue to improve in the second half of the season!

This helps them to activate more scoring points when they fight back!

So there is no absolute in the world.

Seeing that Braga was leading three goals now, Yartim decisively made a substitution.

Alan and Nuno Gomez appear.

They replaced Tang Hong and Lima respectively.

As for Barbosa, he couldn't play on the weekend because he had red cards in the league, so he simply let him play the whole game.

After Tang Hong's departure, Schalke 04's offense became more fierce on the court, because Atsuto Uchida was released and was able to provide more support to Falfan on the right.

Seeing the defensive line being in a panic and thrilling scenes, Yartim replaced Viana with Mosolo.

The two forwards Braga's substitute were also able to create a counterattack threat. Barbosa kept delivering shells in the middle and backcourts, but unfortunately Nuno Gomez and Alan each had a golden opportunity to be resolved by their opponents.

When the game came to the 88th minute, Schalke 04 caused chaos in Braga's penalty area under continuous besiege. Falfan's long shot was blocked by Quim, and Evetton turned halfway and cleared the ball out of the sideline.

Foeches made another cross in front of the bottom line on the left. Hunteral and Coelo lost the ball in a header. The football that was pushed out was then headed back into the penalty area by Jermaine Jones outside the penalty area.

Kustodio, who returned to the penalty area, was about to clear the ball, but Raul killed him, removed the ball from his thigh and took a step towards the middle, then took a low shot!

The ball was not fast but had a tricky angle, so the football finally rolled into the lower left corner of the goal!

Quim was also extremely depressed when he fell in front of the goal line.

Any goalkeeper who concedes three goals in a single game may not feel good.

"Schalke scored again 04! Raul's goalkeeper's score was rewritten to 3:5.

Has this goal battle not stopped yet?

If Schalke 04 can enter another one, then they will not have a chance even if they go away.

But if it is just the current score, they will have to make almost three goals in the away game, but they will be able to reverse the turn of the game!"

The home team fans who went to the stands of Schalke Stadium were already a little dizzy!

Stop playing with me!

Every time I narrowed the score gap, I thought I could narrow the gap a little longer, but I always returned disappointed.

Now instead of hoping Schalke 04 scored another one, it is better to hope that the team will not be scored by Braga again!

With only a few minutes left in the game, Braga defended the whole army without any suspense. Schalke 04 made a big push and made the game situation tense and intense, but until the final whistle sounded, Schalke 04 failed to rewrite the score.

At the end of the game, Braga defeated Schalke 04 5:3 away and took the lead in the UEFA Cup semi-finals!

Tang Hong had already taken off his jersey. He walked into the stadium wearing a sports jacket and took the initiative to find Raul and handed his jersey to the other party. Raul immediately took off the jersey and sent it to Tang Hong. The two hugged each other and left.

Raul, who lost the ball at home, was naturally in a bad mood. Tang Hong held Raul's jersey in his hand, applauded the audience stands and walked into the players' passage.

After the game, Schalke 04 coach Hub Stevens said in an interview that it was regrettable that the team lost the game at home, but they would not give up, and there is still hope of advancing and turning the tables away.

The German media naturally don't believe it.

However, at the post-match press conference, Yartim also said that Braga is only the lead now and has not been confirmed to advance to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. He also gave an example that they once fell behind three goals to the Locomotive Moscow, and finally reversed in the second round. Now it is their turn to be alert to Schalke 04's amazing achievements on the away game.

Speaking of the team's performance in the game, Yartim praised the performance of the team. When asked about Tang Hong, Yartim shook his head and sighed: "His excellence has been throughout the season. From the first game of his career to today, every game is full of infinite fighting spirit. I can't find any better words to praise his performance and professional attitude.

Many people will ask me about Tang Hong’s future growth and future ceiling, and will he win the Golden Globe Award one day?

I think I won’t predict the future. Tang Hong is now a very powerful star, and there is no doubt about this.

In the Portuguese Super League, you can't find any player who performs better than him, and it is more important to the team.

The same is true in the UEFA Cup. He is the number one on the scorer list and he has some assist data. Whether or not some strong teams have not focused on this cup, at least so far in the UEFA Cup, there is no player better than Tang Hong and has a higher average score in the UEFA Cup."
