In the early morning of April 26, Beijing time, the top two teams in the Portuguese Super League played separately, of which Porto lost 0-1 to Braga, while Portugal Sport won 3-0 to get 3 points. With three rounds left in the Portuguese Super League, defending champions Sporting Portugal are six points behind Porto and still have theoretical hope of overtaking.
After missing out on the league title last season, Porto have shown their strong momentum this season. Including last season, they were unbeaten in 58 league games before the game, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before they win this season's title. However, in the early morning match against Benfica, Porto accidentally dropped the chain and lost 0-1 to the opponent, ending their unbeaten record.
Although it is an away game, even against the league powerhouse Braga, Porto has unexpectedly gained the initiative on the field. In the whole game, Porto held 61% of the ball and shots on goal 21-9. However, the club that scored the only goal of the game was the home team Braga.
In the 53rd minute, Braga had a counter-attack opportunity, Aver Ruiz passed the ball to the back post from inside the penalty area, and Ricardo Horta wrapped it up and scored the only goal of the game. In this way, Porto lost the match 0-1, and the league was unbeaten in the 58th round of the league.
Porto's unexpected upset, the biggest benefit is the subsequent appearance of Portuguese sports. As defending champions, Portugal Sport, although there has been no significant regression, has a certain gap between their results and Porto this season. After learning that Porto lost, the players of Portugal Sports were also impressed, playing a 3-0 victory.
Facing mid-level side Boavista, Sporting Portugal managed to take the lead at half-time. In the second half, Portugal Sport relied on the opponent's oolong and the penalty delivered, scoring two more goals. At the end of the match, Portugal Sport held a 3-0 victory, successfully making the ownership of the league championship suspenseful.
Chasing 6 points in 3 rounds, it looks like a big gap. However, the remaining 3 opponents of the Porto season include traditional giants Benfica. Once Porto lose, then the ownership of the league will be extremely suspenseful. Of course, on the Portuguese sports side, it is necessary to ensure that the remaining matches are won in order to have the possibility of rebounding.
In the next round, Porto will host Guo Tianyu's owner Vizzella. It seems that this is a contest without any suspense. But in football matches, there are often cases of mid- and lower-level teams being upset. As domestic fans, we can even expect Guo Tianyu to have a wonderful performance in this game. Of course, the victory or defeat of this game is likely to affect the final ownership of the Portuguese Premier League champion this season.
