Wen / Bin Shao Kan ball (starting) The first round of the Europa League quarter-finals, Braga's match against Monaco has also attracted the attention of some fans, especially Ligue 1 fans, as a well-known ligue 1 powerhouse, Monaco is the 3rd-4th favorite in this Europa League competition, although it cannot be compared with Barcelona and other teams, the strength and thickness of the squad are not as strong as the opponents, but Monaco also has a certain tenacious attribute, after the Ligue 1 has no hope, they also hope to play in the European arena. To compete for a Europa League title, but very unexpectedly, in the first match of the round of 8, they encountered Waterloo, away to Braga in the European sub-league, 0-2 defeat to the opponent, the second leg of the match, basically into a desperate situation.
At the beginning of the game, Monaco actually played very actively, in terms of possession and organization, they took the lead in entering the game state, the possession rate was as high as 62%, while the Braga team only had a possession rate of only 38%, from this point of view, it is also decent, after all, in terms of overall strength, Monaco is better, and the influence and fame are greater, but Monaco has empty pass control, but it has not been converted into a substantive goal.
In terms of offensive shots, the home team Braga is very sharp, the whole field bombarded 15 feet, and Monaco only had 10 shots on goal, Braga used the opportunity of defensive counterattack to constantly create a threat, once made Monaco into a passive, under the pass control advantage, the attack is very cringe, so that Braga also kicks more and more confident, the offensive efficiency is also higher, the whole field 6 feet shot correct, pressure Monaco's 4 shots.
In the 2nd minute of the game, Abel scored a goal, Braga made a fantastic start of 1-0, very unexpected; in the case of a goal behind, Monaco stepped up the counterattack, and very crazy, but also very helpless, under the opponent's defense, Monaco scored a lack of skills, from this point of view, enough to show how weak Monaco's attack is, lack of firepower.
In the early stages of the second half of the yibian re-war, the two teams were unable to break the deadlock again in the case of mutual attack and defense, until the 88th minute of the game, Braga once again broke the balance of the scene, scored the second goal, the score was 2-0 at this time, due to the lack of time left in the game, Monaco in the case of two goals behind, morale was even lower, and finally had no choice but to accept a 0-2 upset defeat. So from the perspective of the situation, monaco's second leg to turn over, the opportunity is not big, if out, it is undoubtedly good for Barca, because in this way, Barca will also have 1 less potential competitor, of course, the premise is that Barca must also defeat Galatasaray in the second leg, because of the first leg of the competition, they are also upset, 0-0 draw.
