In the early morning of September 9, Beijing time, Group J of the European Cup qualifiers were contested, and Portugal played Slovakia away. B Fei broke the deadlock first in the first half; In the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo was shown a yellow card and failed to score all the time, but Portugal still relied on a goal from B Fei to score three points 1-0.
Portugal are currently ranked No. 9 in the world, and the Five Shields are one of the most in-form teams in this World Qualifiers, leading the way in the last four games without conceding a goal, scoring 14 goals just behind England, and Cristiano Ronaldo is also full of fire and scoring five goals. Slovakia is ranked 47th in the world and has won all its first four group games because of the goal difference difference, and it can be said that this match is the top match of this group.
Martinez set up a 4-2-3-1 system in the starting line-up: Diogo Costa guarded the goal; Joao Cello, Dias, Antonio Silva partnered Dalot at the back; Palinha and Vitinha are double backs; Leo and B are separated on the wings, B Fei sits in the forward position, and Ronaldo plays as a center forward at the front of the formation.
Slovakia took advantage of the home momentum to take the lead, and in the 11th minute, Polivka followed up with a shot from the penalty area, and Costa held the ball steadily; One minute later, Schranz inserted a single knife and quickly knocked back, and Harraslin's follow-up shot was blocked by Dias; In the 17th minute, B Fei fired a low shot in front of the goal, and Dubravka saved the ball.
Although Portugal has a clear advantage in strength and squad, I don't know whether it is Martinez's formation problem or the tacit understanding of the players on the field, Portugal played a slump throughout the first half, the midfield did not play a role, and Ronaldo still needs to withdraw and receive the ball many times to make Portugal's attack improve. In the 43rd minute, it was after Ronaldo withdrew to receive it, and B Fei broke through to the box on the right and volleyed into the box, 1:0! Coincidentally, today happens to be B-Fei's 29th birthday.
Portugal continued to take the initiative in the second half, but it didn't bear fruit, and in the 50th minute, Cancelo took a low shot from the back to the box and Dubravka turned sideways to pick it up. In the 62nd minute, Ronaldo fell to the ground in the middle of the penalty area, and it was Manchester United veteran Dubravka who was guarding the door for Slovakia, he decisively attacked to control the ball, but Ronaldo did not have time to close the tackle and kicked in his face.
Seeing that Dubravka was injured, Ronaldo also immediately stepped forward to check the situation and explained that he did not mean it, but because it was a dangerous action, the president was still shown a yellow card by the referee. Since this is the third yellow card that Ronaldo received in this European qualifier, the president will be automatically suspended for one round against Luxembourg in the next round.
In the 70th minute, B hit crossed on the right side, and Ronaldo dodged the angle and volleyed wide; In the 76th minute, B Fei sent a straight plug, and Cristiano Ronaldo's small-angle shot from the right penalty area was again saved by Dubravka; Ronaldo is obviously not in the best condition in this game, 6 shots failed to exchange for 1 goal, the post-game rating is only 6.5 points, fans also said that it is estimated that the president will "back the pot" after the game, after all, in the past games, as long as Ronaldo did not score, he would often be the first target of black fan attacks.
The final score was 1-0 until the end of the game, and Portugal managed to take three points to win the top match and lead Group J with five consecutive wins.
