Back in the Portuguese Super League, in the twenty-sixth round, Sporting Lisbon challenged the same-city team Belerenses away.

Sudong and Ronnie were all substitutes in this game.

Joao Pinto scored for Sporting Lisbon just before the end of the first half.

In the 71st minute of the second half, Rui Borges equalized for Bellerences.

After that, the game was deadlocked until the 85th minute, when Sudong, who came on as a substitute, planned an attack and Tonito received a pass from Rodrigo Tello to score the winner for Sporting Lisbon.

Two to one, Sporting Lisbon beat Bellerences away.

...

In another game at the same time, Porto beat Benfica 1-0 thanks to Deco's goal in the 36th minute.

It is worth mentioning that Benfica was one player less than the opponent for more than 20 minutes because of the red card, but Porto failed to expand the lead, which made people vaguely see the fatigue of the team.

Porto host Panathinaikos in the UEFA Cup quarter-finals in midweek.

Mourinho was determined to win this game, but what he didn't expect was that the Greek team guarded for more than 70 minutes, and just didn't give Porto any chance.

Mourinho even went out of his way to make substitutions to strengthen the offensive in the 46th minute, and used up the remaining two substitutions in the 55th minute. It was almost a gamble, but he failed to break through the Greek team. goal.

Instead, in the 73rd minute, the Greeks broke Porto's goal with a quick counter-attack and kept a one-goal lead until the end of the game.

This is the first time that Porto has lost at home in a European game this season!

A midweek loss to Panathinaikos and a narrow victory over Benfica at the weekend revealed Porto's hidden dangers in both games.

That is, the team's offense lacks the ability to attack tough points. When encountering a team that is strictly guarded and defended, Porto lacks an effective way to overcome the enemy and win. Therefore, some Portuguese media revealed that after playing Panathinaikos, Mourinho asked the management of Porto. Submitted the transfer list for this summer.

The first on the list is the center of Sporting Lisbon, Su Dong!

…………

In the middle of the week, the second round of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals.

Sporting Lisbon is at home against Lazio.

With a 2-1 away advantage in the first round, when he returned to the home court, Boloni still played with three defensive midfielders, and at the same time asked the team to defend and counterattack.

Mancini's team had no choice. They took the initiative to attack at the start of the away game and took the lead in attacking.

Serie A team's crazy attack, the pressure is still considerable, especially Fiore's comeback.

In just six minutes of the game, it was Fiore's long pass from the right. Left-back Favalli quickly intervened and assisted Lopez with a shot in front of the goal, breaking the goal of Sporting Lisbon and equalizing the total score for Lazio.

It was 1-0 and the aggregate score was 2-2, but Sporting Lisbon still had the advantage of away goals.

Lazio seemed to sense an opportunity and was still pressing on Sporting Lisbon.

But the good times didn't last long. In just four minutes, Sporting Lisbon made a quick counterattack.

Albertini made a long pass from the backcourt and sent the ball to the back of the defense with precision.

Sporting Lisbon's front trident is like three arrows, pointing directly at Lazio's penalty area.

Su Dong shook off Mikhailovich and Stam with great speed, and after catching up with the ball, he quickly distributed the ball to the left.

Ronnie grabbed the ball before Pancaro and knocked on the front and back of the door.

Favali plugged in the attack, and the unguarded Quaresma easily followed up with a push shot, one-to-one!

Sporting Lisbon played a very efficient and deadly counterattack!

...

After the total score was pulled back to three to two, Lazio still tried to attack.

Sporting Lisbon has been prepared for this, patiently and steadily, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

The front court trident requires technology and skill, and height and height.

The speed is even more far away from Lazio's old man's defense line, which makes Lazio extremely jealous.

That's how the two teams were exhausted.

It was not until the 70th minute of the second half that Mancini made another substitution, trying to strengthen the attack, and Diego Simeone was the first to be replaced.

The bandit leader was still grinning fiercely tonight, but when he was replaced, he seemed very helpless.

In the end, Sporting Lisbon and Lazio shook hands one-to-one after a dull game.

2-1 away and 1-1 at home, Sporting Lisbon knocked out the Blue Eagles from the UEFA Cup with a total score of 3-2, causing a big upset in the UEFA Cup.

...

Coincidentally, another arena was also unpopular.

After a 1-1 draw with Liverpool at home in the first round, the Celtics of the Soviet Super League went away, but at Anfield, they defeated Liverpool 2-0, which also broke a big upset.

Houllier's team suffered a blow after the first leg, with Senegalese striker Diouf suspended for spitting on fans, and his performance in the game was far less than in the first leg.

Obviously, multi-line operations affected Liverpool's play.

But on the other hand, the Celtics, coached by Martin O'Neal, played bravely, turned the corner, scored two goals in a row, and advanced to the semi-finals.

Like Lazio facing Sporting Lisbon, this matchup was also before the game. The media and fans believed that the game was basically a sure-fire match, but unexpectedly it was a series of upsets.

Sporting Lisbon upset Lazio in the first round, but the Celtics upset Liverpool in the second round, which made this UEFA Cup unpopular.

The Portuguese Super League Boavista, who lost 0-1 away to Malaga in the first round, returned to the home court and scored a goal in the 83rd minute with the Brazilian striker Claudio coming off the bench and successfully closed the game. Drag into a penalty shootout.

In the end, Boavista, who played at home, defeated Malaga 5-1 on penalties and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

And Porto, who lost 0-1 at home in the first round, also played very hard in this expedition to Greece.

In the 16th minute of the first half, Postiga assisted Delray and scored a goal to tie the game.

But after that, the two teams failed to gain any further gains, and Porto's four-four-two failed to break through the Greek team's double-back play.

The game went into overtime, and in the 103rd minute, substitute midfielder Thiago assisted Delray to win another victory.

In the end, Porto defeated Panathinaikos 2-0 away with Delle's brace and advanced to the semi-finals.

It's embarrassing now.

Three Portuguese Super League teams and one Soviet Super League team appeared in the UEFA Cup semi-finals. None of the teams in the four major leagues were spared, and the entire army was wiped out. This also shocked the entire European football world.

Could it be that after the Champions League has become a giant game, the UEFA Cup has become the stage for second- and third-tier league teams?

...

On the night of the UEFA Cup second leg, UEFA drew lots at its headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

The Celtics drew Boavista.

Sporting Lisbon draws Porto.

The former is the guest first.

When the news came, the entire Portuguese football world was both happy and worried.

Fortunately, the three teams of the Portuguese Super League have entered the UEFA Cup semi-finals, which will earn the Portuguese Super League a lot of points in the European competition.

The European points can improve the league performance and give the Portuguese Super League team more advantages in the European arena.

For example, in the future, the champions of the Portuguese Super League will not need to play the third round of external qualifiers and directly enter the Champions League group stage.

The worry is that the two strongest teams in the Portuguese Super League took the lead in the duel, but the weaker Boavista met the Celtics, which made the Portuguese media expect that the Portuguese Super League team will meet in the final. The desire is much slimmer.

After all, Boavista's performance this season is not ideal.

And Sporting Lisbon meets Porto, this is not only the current UEFA Cup semi-final match, but also a preview of the Portuguese Super League championship.

The first-leg match between the two sides will be held in Porto on April 10.

…………

…………

On the weekend, the twenty-seventh round of the Portuguese Super League.

Sporting Lisbon is at home against Leiria.

Su Dong and Ronnie sat on the bench again.

In the first half, the two sides played inextricably.

In the 22nd minute, striker Marshall opened the scoring for Leiria, breaking the goal of Sporting Lisbon.

In the 64th minute of the second half, Boloni replaced Ronnie to strengthen the team's wing attack.

In just three minutes, it was Ronnie's breakthrough from the left. Tonito got the ball in the penalty area, passed the opponent's player and hit a volley to equalize the score for Sporting Lisbon.

But then, the game came to a deadlock again.

In the 75th minute, Boloni used his last substitution, and Su Dong replaced Nikulei.

In just six minutes, a cross from the right from Quaresma, Su Dong beat his opponent in the penalty area, and hit the goal with a close-range header, two to one!

Sporting Lisbon reversed Leiria at home and scored another three points!

...

In another duel at the same time, Porto returned to Portugal after a long journey to Greece, and faced Ferreira away.

The game turned into a hand-to-hand fight.

In the 38th minute of the first half, midfielder Thiago, who had just made a contribution in Greece, fought with the opposing midfielder Paul Sosa, and both were sent off with red cards.

At half-time, Mourinho changed two players in a row in a fit of anger, trying to strengthen the offensive.

In the 60th minute, Ferreira was hit hard again. The main defender Armando fouled when defending and was sent off with a direct red card.

With one more player than his opponent, Porto launched a crazy offensive, vowing to win the opponent and take all three points.

But the result was very surprising. Porto could not attack for a long time. Instead, in the third minute of stoppage time, when the game was about to end, Ferreira earned a corner kick, and the center defender Kadu, who came on the bench, headed the ball. Hit and scored the only goal of the game.

With the finale of the game, Ferreira beat Porto 1-0 at home.

The whole of Portugal was shocked!

No one thought that Porto would lose!

Sporting Lisbon scored three points and Porto lost the away game, and now the gap between the two teams has narrowed to one point again.

More importantly, the two sides met in the UEFA Cup semi-finals.

Not only is the competition for the Portuguese Super League championship in full swing, but even the right to qualify for the UEFA Cup is also in full swing.

But time didn't give either team much respite.

After the twenty-seventh round of the Portuguese Super League, the two teams soon ushered in the first leg of the UEFA Cup semi-final.

This time, Su Dong walked into Porto's Fire Dragon Stadium with 18 goals in the Portuguese Super League and the status of the Portuguese Super League's quasi-golden boot.
