Benfica actually overtook the lead, which all Crystal Palace fans did not expect.
Why did the situation suddenly take a turn for the worse?
What's happening here?
Tong Yi, who was on the sidelines, immediately came to the sidelines and signaled the Crystal Palace players to stabilize the situation first and not to panic!
At this time, the first half of the game is about to end. After the first half, adjust well during the halftime break, and then fight again in the second half. If the first goal is scored at this time, it will be a bit like a collapse.
"Hold on, don't be in a hurry!" Tong Yi shouted.
Although the Crystal Palace players in the stadium are young, they have also experienced strong winds and waves. When they heard Tong Yi's shouting, they all stabilized and took up defensive postures.
The Benfica people wanted to pursue the victory and end the battle in the first half of the game. ??
Directly destroy the Crystal Palace.
Jesus rushed to the sidelines and waved his hand, signaling the Benficans to continue attacking.
Try to score another goal!
However, it is still very difficult for Benfica to score another goal in the last five minutes.
After all, Crystal Palace's defense is not weak.
Sure enough, in the last five minutes, Benfica didn't even organize a decent attack. Even the Haibei Crystal Palace stopped and launched a counterattack.
Unfortunately, Lukaku at the front of the penalty area committed a second mistake, copying Balotelli's thinking about life in front of the goal.
The football was stabbed away by Garay who rushed up from behind. The football rolled into Oblak's arms, and Benfica's critical situation was relieved.
Toot toot!
The referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
The score is two to one, with Benfica taking the lead temporarily.
The fans and players of Benfica were very excited at this time. After all, they were in a reversal. They even saw the opportunity to win the Europa League championship this season. Even when they walked past the championship trophy at the end of the game, Gaitan did not
Holding back, he reached out and touched the championship trophy.
Seeing this, the faces of Benfica fans were ashen!
Gaitan, you have made a big mistake!
This is the curse of touching the championship trophy before the end of the game!
Before the end of the game, whoever touches the championship trophy will not win the championship!
Gaitan, what are you doing?
Benfica fans hate Gaitan!
If Benfica really fails to win the Europa League this season, they will definitely blame Gaitan.
Why do you want to touch the championship trophy at this time?
The person involved, Gaitan, didn't take this matter to heart at all. In his opinion, it was a complete fallacy. Whether or not you win the championship has nothing to do with whether you can touch the trophy, it only has to do with the strength of the team.
We at Benfica are stronger than Crystal Palace, we are the champions!
We, Benfica, have secured this championship!
During the halftime break, Jesus was not as crazy as Gaitan. r> He is very cautious.
This Crystal Palace is not an ordinary newly promoted team. They often beat teams like Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United 6-0 in the Premier League. Their strength cannot be underestimated.
And the first half of the game has already made it clear that Crystal Palace is very strong.
If it weren't for Benfica's good luck in the second half of the first half, it's hard to say that they would still be lagging behind now.
However, Jesus is still very confident about this game.
Jesus said that the second half of the game focused on attacking Paulinho and Zhang Linpeng. Because these two people received yellow cards early, their next actions will definitely be restrained and they will definitely be timid in defense.
This is their chance.
If these two people don't know how to restrain themselves, just go ahead and give them another red card.
In this way, Benfica will definitely win.
Of course, Jesus also showed that Benfica's players should pay attention to defense when attacking. After all, the Crystal Palace counterattack is still very sharp, so don't take it lightly!
But Tong Yi didn't make too many beeps at all, just one sentence, give me a fierce attack in the second half!
Therefore, at the beginning of the second half, Crystal Palace swarmed the Benficans like a tide.
This Fika was unexpected.
They thought the Crystal Palace people would solidly defend first and then try to counterattack.
Who knew the Crystal Palace people were so crazy!
If the Crystal Palace people are stumped, are they not afraid of conceding another goal and completely ruining the possibility of winning the Europa League championship this season?
Anyway, Benfica is in a bit of a hurry.
"Wow, what did we see? The Crystal Palace's offense was really fierce. Coach Tong Yitong must have made special requests for this halftime break. Benfica will be in danger now. If they can't handle it,
If this wave continues, Benfica is likely to collapse!" Duan Jianhong shouted excitedly.
Of course, Benfica fans are not afraid of this!
The higher you press Crystal Palace, the more empty the defense becomes. We at Benfica have plenty of opportunities!
We, Benfica, will definitely win this game!
Oops, dangerous!
The Benfica fans at the scene collectively exclaimed, and their hearts almost jumped out of their skin.
Just now, the Crystal Palace midfield trio played an exquisite cooperation. Kante, Paulinho and De Bruyne passed the ball continuously. The three of them played one-two in a row, directly destroying Benfica's entire midfield.
Metz and Amorim had no backhand power, and Benfica's midfield defense collapsed instantly.
And it collapsed so quickly that the defense had no time to react.
De Bruyne is really amazing!
Just three or two passes and the football was thrown into the air.
Inside, it tore apart Benfica's defense.
The football rolled directly to the feet of Lukaku in the penalty area. This time Lukaku didn't think about life. He directly used his body to carry Garay, swung his legs and swept the football towards Benfica's goal.
A violent explosion so close at hand!
The ball is there!
No wonder the Benfica fans were so frightened.
Seeing the football flying towards the upper right corner of the goal like a white light, Benfica themselves felt that they had no chance and it was over!
But in this flash of lightning, Oblak soared into the sky like an eagle with wings spread, his fingertips touched the football, and the football directly drew the bottom line.
Wow!
God pounce!
This guy Oblak is simply amazing. No wonder he has such a high clean sheet rate. He is really a super excellent goalkeeper. To be honest, Campbell and others really regret it. Why didn't they directly introduce Oblak in the first place?
Where is Brack? .???.
After Oblak stood up, he signaled Benfica's defensive players to pay attention to their defense and not give the Crystal Palace people another chance to shoot so easily. To be honest, Oblak also felt huge pressure and couldn't bear it anymore.
Benfica's defensive players nodded very seriously to show their understanding.
Then, they immediately returned to the penalty area and started to defend.
Corner kick, Crystal Palace got a corner kick opportunity!
Robertson made a curved kick and drove the football directly into Benfica's penalty area. Laporte jumped up high in the middle of the penalty area, grabbed the football above the heads of Louison and Garay, and smashed the ball hard.
Header!
Benfica fans never thought that they could hit this ball!
Oblak in front of the goal didn't expect it, but his reaction was very fast, and he stretched out his hand to lift the football over the bottom line!
hiss!
The fans of Crystal Palace took a deep breath and felt very desperate!
This guy Oblak gives them a suffocating feeling!
It seems that if this guy Oblak is here, the Crystal Palace people will no longer be able to score goals.
Tong Yi on the sidelines also frowned. This Oblak is indeed very powerful, and he is in good condition today. It's a bit tricky!
But Tong Yi still believes in his players.
He came to the sidelines and signaled the Crystal Palace people to continue to increase their offensive intensity, and of course not to relax their defense.
This Fika is still very powerful.
Corner kick, Crystal Palace continued to get corner kicks.
This time Robertson took a tactical corner kick with Zhang Linpeng on the wing. Zhang Linpeng feinted and then quickly and lightly knocked the football horizontally. The football actually rolled quickly between Pereira's legs and rolled towards him quickly.
Mane behind him.
At this time, Mane felt Louisson rushing towards him quickly from behind and would not give him a chance to turn around.
so , Mane had another flash of inspiration, spread his legs, and directly missed the football.
Louison didn't expect that the football would quickly roll past his quibble and directly towards Lukaku in the middle.
Benfica's players and fans were shocked!
Danger!
The Crystal Palace fans became excited and shouted excitedly, "We want to score!"
With a bang, Lukaku hit the football hard with his kick. The football shot out quickly. Almost at the same time, Oblak in front of the goal also dodged and jumped out, sealing the corner.
Crystal Palace fans were shocked.
Snapped!
There was a loud pass, and the football actually hit the arm of Garay, who rushed out from the side and blocked the hole of the gun with his body. The line changed, and then it bounced directly off the baseline.
Toot toot!
The referee saw it clearly and blew the foul whistle directly, indicating that Garay had committed a foul, and pointed to the penalty spot.
"Foul, Garay committed a handball foul! Penalty kick! Crystal Palace won a penalty kick! Crystal Palace got an excellent opportunity to equalize the score! This is very likely to be the beginning of Crystal Palace's reversal!" Duan Jianhong was very excited.
Benfica symbolically surrounded the referee and muttered a few words, and then got out of the way, because they themselves knew that this was indeed a penalty kick, and they did not dwell too much on it.
Lukaku went directly to the penalty spot, carrying the hopes of all Crystal Palace fans.
Oblak stood quietly in front of the goal, very relaxed, as if he didn't care about Lukaku at all.
Oblak even thought carefully and pointed directly at the upper right corner.
I don’t know if Oblak wants to hit the upper right corner if he wants to, or if he wants to hit the upper right corner if you have the guts, or if he wants to hit the upper right corner...
Lukaku was instantly confused!
Lukaku's psychological activities are very complicated. What does Oblak mean? Do I want to hit the upper right corner?
beep!
At this moment, the referee blew the whistle for the free throw.
Lukaku couldn't think so much anymore, he quickly ran towards the football, and then hit the football hard with one kick. The football shot quickly towards the upper right corner of the goal!
The moment the football flew out, Oblak in front of the goal also moved!
Oblak quickly rushed towards the goal - the upper right corner!
Lukaku's eyes widened in front of the penalty spot, as if he had seen something horrifying to the machine.
Tong Yi on the sidelines closed his eyes helplessly when he saw this. The goal was out of reach. Lukaku was completely manipulated by Oblak in front of the goal. There was no way the goal would be scored!
Lukaku!
really!
With a snap, Oblak, who was extremely stretched, easily saved the football from the bottom line!
