In the early morning of April 22, Beijing time, the second leg of the Portuguese Cup semi-finals began, and the two sides were the two giants Porto and Portugal Sports. As a result, after 90 minutes of the battle, Porto won 1-0 with 1 more player, and the total score was 3-1 to achieve promotion.
Porto are Portugal's famous team, having lost their league title last season. As a two-time Champions League-winning club, Porto have been caught up in the death squad this season, including Liverpool, Atletico Madrid and AC Milan. In the end, after 6 rounds of the battle, Porto failed to qualify and could only participate in the Europa League for the third place in the group. But in the Europa League schedule, Porto was also unlucky, losing to Lyon and being eliminated early.
After the European game, Porto seems to have more of a mind on the domestic arena. In the Portuguese Premier League, Porto currently have a nine-point advantage. With 4 games left in the season, it's only a matter of time before you win the title. Coupled with the victory in the early morning game, Porto won all 5 games after the European game, and scored 13 goals without conceding 1 goal.
And this season's defending champions of the Portuguese Premier League, Sport of Portugal, are not in the same competitive state as last season. As the old owner of Ronaldo, Portuguese sports also have their own unique popularity. But whether it is at home or abroad, the performance of Portuguese sports this season has been relatively crotch-pulling. At present, the league is 9 points behind Porto, and the rebound is only theoretically possible.
In the Early Morning Portuguese Cup, Portugal Sports, which fell behind 1-2 in the first leg, is actually unlikely to turn over. In 90 minutes, Porto firmly took the initiative. In the final moments of the match, the Portuguese defender Pepe was the winner, and his assist helped Tony Martinez complete the goal and lock in the result of the promotion.
After the whole game, the Portuguese sport, which played away, did not seem to have the courage to fight back. Statistically, Portugal, which was already behind, lost the possession rate, and only shots were 6 times, and it was reasonable to eliminate them.
Portugal Sports, which lost 1-3 on aggregate, and players were given red cards in early morning games, can be described as losing and losing. With four league games left in the season, Sporting Portugal is the end of the season. Next season, whether they can make a comeback in the league will have time to answer.
For Porto, the most likely goal to achieve this season is to win the domestic double. With the league already largely settled, their Portuguese Cup final opponent is 17th-placed Tongdra in the league. Under such circumstances, as long as Porto plays normally, it is unlikely to lose this season's cup title.
