Benfica vs REXOS
the super dark horse challenges the Portuguese super giants
there is no doubt that the focus of this round of battle.
Before the game, Benfica has reached the most dangerous time. They have 33 points, 10 points away from REXOS, 7 points away from Porto and 3 points away from Sporting Lisbon, and only 5 points less than Benfica. If they can't win this game, they will be eliminated from the Champions League. Whether they can get the Champions League qualification is a problem.
It's a game of life and death for Benfica.
Before the game started, the stands, which can hold 64000 people, were full, and the noise almost resounded over the capital of Portugal.
Standing on the court, looking up at the sky, Gao Xiaodong has boundless pride. Before, REXOS faced three big teams with two wins and one draw. If he conquers this stadium again, there should be no more idiots gossiping about REXOS and himself.
"Beep..."
Gao Xiaodong is thinking wildly, the referee blew the whistle of the beginning of the game.
In the first round, REXOS played Benfica, and Gao Xiaodong played man to man midfield. After more than half a season, Gao Xiaodong has evolved from a blue collar to a senior white collar, and now the man to man marker is Dior, who has just released the ban and made a comeback.
Dior is on rujkosta.
Dior's defensive ability is not weaker than Gao Xiaodong, and his strength is not as strong as Gao Xiaodong, but his speed is faster than Gao Xiaodong. It's just that Dior is too honest to be half of Gao Xiaodong's cunning. Gao Xiaodong taught him the song, and he can't sing that tune. Besides, it's still Benfica's home court. The referee's law enforcement must be biased to Benfica, otherwise the saliva of more than 50000 fans on the scene will be destroyed The referee drowned.
Dior on Rui Costa's marking is not successful, Benfica has been firmly in the upper hand.
Without an obscene fat man around, Rui Costa's experience and consciousness have been fully developed, often a shake, a look can shake away Dior's center of gravity, making Dior miserable.
After Rui Costa passed several wonderful straight and top passes and Dior got a yellow card, Oliveira knew that the man to man strategy was a complete failure. If he continued to follow, Dior might be sent off.
Oliveira has no choice but to give up man to man, let Dior return to his position, and take regional man to man defensive tactics against Rui Costa.
Dior back to Rex's defensive system, play much better than his man to man, Rex even once recovered some disadvantage.
But this season's Benfica state is poor, in the stadium of light is not REXOS can easily bully, under the control of Rui Costa, Benfica's attack is more reasonable, rhythm changes more, let REXOS defensible.
But what makes REXOS most uncomfortable is Benfica's left winger DiMaria.
When Rex and Benfica played in the first round, DiMaria came on as a substitute. After more than half a season, DiMaria has firmly occupied the main position of the left wing, and his attack is more and more reasonable. Under his impact, Rex's right side is unbearable. Zina has to change position with right back Sanchez to help defend on his right side DiMaria.
In the first half, Rui Costa's straight forward and Di Maria's breakthrough Cross created a lot of shooting opportunities for Benfica.
However, the defender of REXOS stares at Benfica's forward to death. In addition, the absence of Gomez has a great impact on Benfica. Although Benfica has many chances in the first half, he has not been able to break the goal of REXOS.
In the second half, REXOS' Gao Xiaodong, Lopez and Robert's new Trident came out.
In the 47th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong took the ball in the middle circle, and Pereira grabbed it from behind, but he didn't break it. Then Gao Xiaodong went straight to the restricted area with the ball, and the midfield tugged at it without leaving Gao Xiaodong. In the end, guard Lewis put Gao Xiaodong down with the ball.
Although the referee didn't even give a foul, Gao Xiaodong's brave and confident breakthrough raised the clarion call of REXOS's attack. In the next ten minutes, REXOS's attack won. Gao Xiaodong, Lopez and Robert played wonderful cooperation and finished shooting with three feet. However, Robert and Lopez didn't go well, and no one could win Enough to break the door.
After 10 minutes of Rex's attack, Benfica slowed down, then launched a counterattack, once again Rex suppressed in his own half.
In the 66th minute of the game, the 20-year-old left winger DiMaria suddenly appeared on the right side. Rui Costa made a long pass. DiMaria got the ball and broke through left back Newman to get into the penalty area. He shot from the left side of the penalty area to the right side of the goal.
Benfica took the lead by one goal.
This is a tough test for REXOS and Gao Xiaodong. If REXOS loses this game, Porto will definitely catch up with him in points. DiMaria and Gao Xiaodong are both strong contenders for the best rookie of the Portuguese super season. If DiMaria defeats Gao Xiaodong in direct dialogue, Gao Xiaodong will be affected by the selection of rookie king.Gao Xiaodong tried his best to reverse the decline, but after Benfica's state came up, they were not comparable to REXOS. Every REXOS player tried his best, but was still beaten back step by step. Finally, he could only fight Benfica in the middle circle.
In the 78th minute of the game, Lopez was injured under the opponent's flying shovel and left the field. Oscar replaced Lopez, and Gao Xiaodong took up the single back position, which made REXOS even worse.
However, Benfica's offensive pressure was too strong, which directly suppressed REXOS in the 30 meter area of the road, which made DiMaria lose his speed advantage and greatly reduce his breakthrough advantage. Although Benfica had more ball control, the threat of attack was reduced.
REXOS tried his best to defend and suffered. In the 90th minute, they finally got the chance. This was REXOS's backcourt clearance. Robert, the only one in front, snatched the landing point and put the header in the neutral. At this time, Gao Xiaodong suddenly broke out of the tight encirclement, and when fighting for half of the ball, he directly flew Rui Costa and drove straight in with the ball, forming a relationship with Robert Two on two.
Benfica defender Felipe and Luis defense is very stable, close to each other, to prevent Gao Xiaodong and Robert two people cooperate, Gao Xiaodong helpless, can only force to break through, caused Philippe's pull foul.
REXOS won a free kick from the front court.
Without Lopez, Gao Xiaodong has become a set piece penalty.
Benfica knows that Gao Xiaodong's shooting power is great, coach Pinto specially discharged a tight wall.
However, Zina and Gao Xiaodong played a tactical cooperation. Gao Xiaodong ran horizontally and made a big volley straight to the back corner of the goal. Benfica goalkeeper quem couldn't save and the ball fell into the net.
1: 1 flat.
Benfica was not willing to take a point at home in five minutes' stoppage time. They tried their best to attack, but the time was too short for them to score again. They had no choice but to shake hands with REXOS.
After this round, although REXOS was blocked and slowed down, he continued to lead with 43 points. Porto ranked second with 42 points, Sporting Lisbon ranked third with 35 points, Benfica ranked fourth with 33 points, and gimaliens ranked fifth with 30 points.
The dark horse is still rampant, the rich are still weak.
