Perfect Center

Chapter 169 Win and advance!
"Sports brand reminds you: Be careful when shooting..."

"Back from commercial, the second half of the game is about to begin!"

"Good evening, viewers, welcome back! Next we will broadcast the first leg of the 15/16 Europa League quarter-finals!"

"Dortmund plays at home against Porto in the second half!"

"In the 45 minutes of the first half, Dortmund established a leading advantage with two goals from Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan! They have taken the initiative to advance in this game."

"What kind of tactical changes will the two teams make during the 15-minute break at halftime? Let's wait and see!"

The referee team led the players from both teams out of the tunnel and back to the field.

The players from both sides took their positions.

Dortmund have the ball.

As soon as the second half started, Dortmund showed a very strong desire to attack.

Relying on smooth and beautiful conduction and sharp offensive firepower, for a period of time at the beginning of the second half.

Dortmund strangled Porto's counterattack in the cradle and suppressed Porto tightly!
"It can be seen that Dortmund's ball possession rate remained high in the second half, suppressing Porto tightly. Although they had several counterattack opportunities, Brahimi, Marega and Acabanel were unable to cause any substantial threat!"

"Full of power but no offensive threat! Both of Acabanel's shots in this game missed the goal and were not on target."

The 69th minute of the game.

Dortmund's offensive once again launched a wave of offensive on the central axis led by Weigl.

Weigl received the pass from Shinji Kagawa and raised his head to observe the positions of Porto players.

With a snap, the football flew off the ground!

"Weigel launches a long pass!"

"With the continuous transmission, Porto's defense line had gaps,"

"The weak Porto defense cannot resist the yellow and black team that has had a brilliant performance in the Bundesliga recently!"

"In the second half of the game, Porto was constantly caught and beaten up by Dortmund!"

Aubameyang withstood Neves's attack in Porto's private court and steadily received the exquisite long pass from Weigl.

As soon as Aubameyang stopped the ball, his body center of gravity shifted to the outside, then he changed direction and accelerated, rushing to the inside, like an African black panther pouncing on its prey!
"Gabonese cheetah!"

"Show his fangs!"

He continued advancing in the middle, carrying the ball to the 30-meter area.

With a snap, the football left Aubameyang's feet and was directly passed to Mkhitaryan who created an open space.

"Just knock on it!"

"One-on-one opportunity between Mkhitaryan and Kurt!"

"Dortmund easily created a positional advantage, which may be due to the fact that Porto under Peseiro did not use the iron bucket formation. It may not be a wise choice to play against Dortmund, a team with the best offensive firepower in Europe!"

There is no suspense.

Kurt did not explode and Mkhitaryan did not let down, but continued his hot form!
"Shake left! Shake right!"

"Mkhitaryan's little skills are very superb!"

"Fried meatballs! It went straight over! Kurt had no way to stop it and could only watch Mkhitaryan take the ball away!"

After Mkhitaryan broke through, he had space to pass the ball, and of course he did not hesitate.

When he was about to kick the ball across, Mkhitaryan saw Reus's running trajectory.

"Kick! Mkhitaryan's powerful cross after going down the bottom!"

"The ball was very fast and flew straight to the middle. It wasn't aimed at Aubameyang, but at Reus who made a diagonal run and got rid of the defense!"

Reus and Mkhitaryan had a tacit understanding. When he started to sprint, he knew that Mkhitaryan would pass the ball to him.

boom!
Before Indi and Layun, Reus adjusted his body and kicked the ball passed by Mkhitaryan sideways with force without stopping!
"Royce volleys the ball without stopping!"

"Your shooting skills are very sharp!"

"It was an excellent shot, a shot at a very fast speed, without stopping the ball. This shot was very sudden and tested the shooting skills of the shooter, and also tested Casillas' goal-line saving skills!"

Casillas stood on the goal line, groaning in his heart. He couldn't remember how many threatening shots Dortmund had in the second half. If it weren't for his heroic performance today, Porto would probably have been defeated by Dortmund with a big score at the Westfalen Stadium!
Without time to think, Casillas made the save quickly based on his instinctive reaction!

Casillas was delighted when he saw the ball shot by Reus coming towards the direction of his save.

But Indi, who was standing in front of him, said Casillas was happy a little too early.

He had a resolute expression, as if he was going to undertake a life-threatening mission, and he flew forward to block the attack!

He blocked the football that was within reach with all his strength, directly changing its flight trajectory!

After being refracted, the football went into the goal from the other side of Casillas and lifted the net!

3-0! ! !

"Wow!"

"Dortmund has expanded their lead again! With a cross pass from Mkhitaryan, Reus' powerful shot without stopping the ball was refracted and sent into the goal!"

"What an unpredictable fate! Casillas jumped in the right direction, but he was unable to stop his teammate's flying block! Good intentions led to bad results, as Indi's block caused the ball to bounce to the other side!"

"Indi covered his face. He seemed very upset about the deflected goal!"

In the live broadcast room.
-
[Haha! What is Porto thinking? How can they play against this Dortmund team?]
-
[Maybe you think Xia Han is not here! ]
-
[Before Xia Han came, the yellow and black army under Tuchel was already the top offensive firepower in the Bundesliga, scoring more goals than Bayern, but the defense was a bit weak and conceded a lot of goals. ]
-
[After the winter break, Dortmund seemed to have an epiphany. They scored more goals and conceded fewer goals. This is the quality of a champion! ]
-
[Dortmund looks like a champion! Fighting for the championship on three fronts, what if they win the treble! ]

Indi is not the only one who is frustrated in Porto's lineup.

Casillas had a lot of grievances in his heart but couldn't say them. He wanted to say a few words and criticize his teammates on the back line, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say.

They have tried their best, and flying to block the shot was correct and heroic, but the result may not be very good.

Casillas dropped his hands weakly.

Courtside.

Pesero's face was gloomy and uncertain.

The match against Benfica a few days later gave him some confidence, but Dortmund's powerful attack brought his spirits back.

"This is the offensive firepower they have without Xia on the court."

"The rest of the Bundesliga has also made the same mistake."

The other side.

Tuchel and Michels started discussing the next opponents in the Bundesliga.

In their hearts, the suspense of this game has disappeared. After all, Dortmund scored the third goal and is now in high spirits, while Porto lost the ball due to the deflection and their morale is now low. There is no doubt that they will win this Europa League game.

"Leverkusen is not an easy opponent."

"They have several good players who need special attention."

"Xia is in super hot form in the league, so we shouldn't worry too much about the match against Leverkusen."

After this goal, there was no suspense in the game.

Dortmund gave Porto a good beating.

The game reached the 75th minute.

Both sides made substitutions.

Tuchel made several interceptions and clearances in this game, and replaced Sahin, who had an outstanding performance, with Leitner.

At the same time, Reus and Shinji Kagawa were substituted, and Pulisic and Ginter came on to replace them.

"Pulisic, the American winger, has had good playing time recently!" "His performance is also very good. With Ginter and Leitner coming on as substitutes, Dortmund's offensive firepower will not be reduced much!"

On the Porto side, Peseiro made two substitutions.

Oliveira, who had been in stealth mode throughout the game, was replaced by Evandro.

Brahimi's physical energy was obviously consumed too much. Several of his accelerations in the second half were intercepted by Dortmund. His performance was very different from that in the first half. Peseiro directly replaced him with Andre.

"Brahimi's performance in the second half was not satisfactory. I hope Peseiro's substitution can achieve satisfactory results."

Just three minutes later, it was the 78th minute of the game.

Dortmund seized the opportunity again.

Mkhitaryan receives the pass.

Near the diagonal of the penalty area, after looking up and observing for a while, no one came forward to press fiercely, and Mkhitaryan seized the opportunity directly.

Decisive kick and cross.

Snap!
The football took off from the ground!

It seemed to turn a corner in mid-air, drawing a beautiful arc in front of everyone's eyes.

immediately.

It hit Aubameyang on the head.

"Aubameyang made a smart run forward and seized the opportunity!"

"Head shot!"

Aubameyang stepped on the grass, jumped high and headed the ball!

Casillas could only stretch out his arms to try to block the attack.

He didn't touch the football!

The football bounced off the ground and rushed into the goal!
4-0???

"Mkhitaryan's very good pass, Aubameyang! Huh?"

The narrator's voice stopped abruptly.

Before Dortmund fans had time to celebrate and the cheers from all over the mountain had not yet poured down, their joy was extinguished by the flag held high by the linesman!

"The referee blew the whistle. What happened to Aubameyang's goal?"

“Offside!!!”

"From the slow-motion replay provided, Aubameyang's body hair was offside."

"That's a pity, Aubameyang missed a great chance to score a brace!"

"Porto escaped!"

The 85th minute of the game.

Peseiro used his last substitution.

"South Korean striker Seok Hyun-jun comes on as a substitute, replacing Cameroon striker Akabanel who received a yellow card at the start of the match!"

"This Korean striker played for a small team in the Portuguese Super League last season and scored nine goals in sixteen games. He was discovered by scouts from Porto and brought to the Dragon Stadium for 150 million euros!"

"He has played as a substitute several times this season, but the effect is not very good. Maybe Peseiro needs to give him more time."

After Shi Xianjun came on the pitch, he brought Peseiro's instructions to the field, which barely motivated the Porto players.

"We must fight to the death, otherwise it will be difficult in the second round and it will be even more difficult to advance to the next round of the Europa League!"

These are the instructions that Peseiro gave to the Porto players.

Don't let them sit still!
pity.

After Shi Xianjun came on as a substitute, the situation did not change much, and Porto's offense even became worse.

The 89th minute of the game.

Marega seized on Ginter's mistake in stopping the ball, sped up and poked the ball away, then shook him off, using all his strength to leave him far behind!
"The speed is off the charts! Marega!"

"Ginter made a mistake, and he tried his best to catch up. He was very energetic as a substitute!"

"Papastathopoulos has filled in!"

"Side pass! Marega is very decisive. His energy is almost exhausted, so he passes the ball directly to Shi Xianjun in the middle. He is the Korean striker with the most energy on the field!"

Shi Xianjun looked at the incoming ball, stepped on the ball to stop it, then pushed it to the right, using his left arm to hold off Hummels with difficulty.

Just as he was about to step into Dortmund's penalty area, Hummels suddenly felt Shi Xianjun's body soften.

Beep!
Shi Xianjun fell on the grass with regret in his eyes. He was just about to step into Dortmund's penalty area and get a penalty kick.

Unfortunately, if he delayed any longer, he would not be able to control the ball and he would be completely unable to withstand Hummels' attack.

The referee awarded Porto a free kick.

"Fall!"

"Didn't the referee notice it was a dive?"

"Porto is awarded a free kick in front of Dortmund's penalty area!"

The commentator watched the slow-motion replay and could clearly see from another angle Shi Xianjun's exaggerated falling posture.

Herrera and Evandro stood in front of the penalty spot.

"Who will take the penalty?"

"Evandro feinted! Herrera shot directly from the free kick!"

“Kicked it away!”

Amidst the boos at the Westfalenstadion.

Herrera kicked the ball directly into the stands.

On the center circle, the fourth official has raised the injury time sign: three minutes.

"The suspense of the game is over. Porto's attack can hardly get past Dortmund's defense!"

"On the contrary, our own defense line was destroyed beyond recognition!"

The first minute of injury time.

Shi Xianjun used the same trick again and fell to the ground in an area of ​​40 meters.

His luck was not very good this time as he happened right under the nose of the referee.

With a beep, the referee pulled out a yellow card from his trouser pocket and showed it to Shi Xianjun!
"It's karma. Shi Xianjun wanted to do it again, but this time the referee saw through everything and showed him a yellow card!"

"Porto's attack is gradually dying out!"

The final stages of injury time.

Ginter drove straight into the wing, and then made a cross that looked like a pass or a shot, which fell directly into Porto's penalty area.

Mkhitaryan is charging forward!
A lob shot towards the football!
The football passed over Casillas's hands and rushed into the goal!
4-0! ! !

After Mkhitaryan's volley, he missed the post by a hair's breadth.

The cheers at the Westfalen Stadium came like a tide!

When Porto put the ball back to the center circle, Shi Xianjun kicked the ball.

The referee blew the whistle to end the game!
Dortmund 4-0 Porto!
