After the start of the second half, Benfica had to attack aggressively, and Porto was not to be outdone at home, and the two sides launched an offensive battle.
Benfica has a lot of offensive players, and there are high center forwards like Cardoso, but Porto's defense is full of hardness and strong running ability. Can attack Porto's defense from the wing.
However, in order to support Gao Xiaodong, who led the team to the final for the first time, Hulk was very active in defending on the right and spared no effort. Although Rodriguez on the left was not as active as Hulk, Porto's champion in the Champions League Now Sissoko is black, hard and fast. Even if he is alone, it is extremely difficult for Benfica to break through his defense.
Facing a team like Porto, the offense is not smooth, and it is difficult for the defense to defend.
In the 65th minute of the game, an opportunity appeared.
Guarin, who replaced Fernando, suddenly dribbled the ball in. All the Benfica players went to defend Gao Xiaodong and Merles. No one defended Guarin immediately, and Guarin took him directly to the 30-meter zone.
Gao Xiaodong had a bad feeling when he saw Gualin dribbling the ball. Seeing that Gualin had brought it into the 30-meter zone, Gao Xiaodong quickly approached Gualin and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Give it to me! Guarin!
When Gao Xiaodong shouted, he also brought out the identity of the captain, changing from his usual wretchedness to being very dignified.
The fans in the stands were also shouting: Pass the ball! Pass the ball! Guarin pass the ball!
However, as soon as he reached the 30-meter area, Guarin was like a basketball shooting guard who had reached the three-point line and only had the goal in his eyes.
Team Gao scored a long shot in the first half, now it's up to me!
This guy glanced at the line of defense, suddenly cut across, and was about to shoot violently.
However, Gualin's thigh had just been raised when suddenly a thick leg stretched out and poked the ball away.
Nima! It was intercepted, just now there are no Benfica players besides the captain.
Gualin looked at it carefully, I'll wipe it! It turned out that the captain Gao Xiaodong snatched his ball.
Guarin wept with a mournful face,
There was a silent protest, captain, you can't bully people like this, can you shoot me if you can?
The Benfica players and fans were confused by this scene. What is Porto doing? Gao Xiaodong steals Guarin. Is this a betrayal?
Hulk didn't feel dizzy at this time. He believed that everything the captain did was justified and meaningful. He slanted towards Benfica's penalty area at the first time.
Gao Xiaodong saw Hulk running, and immediately passed the ball to Hulk.
When Hulk received the ball, he saw the opponent's central defender rushing fiercely. He stopped the ball to the side and back, dodged the rushing defender, took a step sideways, and shot hard.
Goalkeeper Quim was ready when Hulk adjusted, but Hulk's shot in the penalty area was so powerful that he fell to the ground to save but did not hold it, and the ball bounced off his body.
When Hulk shot, Falcao had already caught up with the supplementary shot. Seeing the ball bounced, Falcao fell to the ground and blocked the ball into the goal.
3:1
Porto extended their lead.
Beautiful passing! Beautiful shooting!
Steal the ball well.
It's time to break Gualin's ball!
If you don't stop hitting the ball, you'll jerk off!
...
When the fans in the stands saw the goal, they all began to criticize Guarin, thinking that Gao Xiaodong just did a good job.
On the court, after Gao Xiaodong embraced and congratulated Falcao and Hulk, he went to teach substitute newcomer Gualin.
Don't shoot blindly at every turn, as a defensive midfielder, only shoot when the time is right.
Gualin looked confused, What do you mean when the time is ripe?
How to explain this, I still can't figure it out, but Gao Xiaodong pretended to be unfathomable and said: I can't explain this matter clearly, I will explain it to you when you treat me later.
Oh, Gualin suddenly realized that the time is ripe after the treat.
After the score became 3:1, Benfica's mentality had collapsed, and then Porto completely occupied the advantage on the field, overwhelming the old opponents and attacking amidst the cheers of more than 40,000 fans at the Dragon Stadium.
In the 75th minute of the game, Benfica heavily defended the connection between Porto's Hulk, Gao Xiaodong and Falcao on the right. Unexpectedly, Gao Xiaodong suddenly passed the ball to the left to find Rodriguez.
Rodriguez's side was already empty, but Rodriguez didn't expect Gao Xiaodong to pass it to him. He almost missed the ball over the baseline. Fortunately, Rodriguez's speed was fast, and he caught up with the ball on the sideline. Falcao shoveled into the net from the middle of the bottom pass, extending the score to 4:1.
After the goal was assisted, Rodriguez, who was a little lonely watching Falcao and Hulk, was refreshed and thought, so the captain has not forgotten me.
After 4:1, Porto did not relax their offense. Facing their old rival Benfica, if they had a chance, they would definitely fight to the death.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Benfica attacked across the board. Porto counterattacked quickly after stealing the ball in the backcourt. Gao Xiaodong dribbled the ball for a long distance. Showing his astonishing speed, he moved to the center, giving Gao Xiaodong the side lane.
Gao Xiaodong made a cross from the bottom, Falcao was defended by two opponents, Rodriguez volleyed in the small penalty area and scored, turning the score into 5:1.
After joining Porto from Benfica, Rodriguez was insulted and humiliated by Benfica fans. Now he finally let out his breath, so after scoring the goal, Rodriguez took the initiative to hug Gao Xiaodong.
Thank you, Team Gao.
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, I'm sorry for taking your No. 10 jersey, but after I leave, the coach will give it to you.
It's not your fault, it's the club's decision. The 24-year-old Rodriguez scratched his head in embarrassment, and added, Thank you, captain.
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: It's okay, your attack power is very strong, and I still need your help later.
Rodriguez lifted his spirits and said, Thank you captain, I will pass the ball to you more in the future.
Enen, let's go back to the game. Gao Xiaodong patted Rodriguez on the shoulder, thinking, pass the ball to me more? Others don't pass it on? Alas, it's not bad to do so. Idiot Gua Er, Luo Dubi, it's not easy being a team leader.
The Benfica fans in the stands were extremely frustrated, and some fans who didn't want to watch Porto win the cup had left early.
However, the goals did not stop. Five minutes later, Gao Xiaodong hoisted behind the Benfica defender, and Falcao made a comeback. He single-handedly went to the meeting and staged a hat-trick, turning the score into 6:1.
Porto still did not give up the attack afterwards, but Hulk and Rodriguez were unlucky and hit two goalposts in a row before Benfica escaped the fate of being slaughtered by 8 goals.
However, this has made the Porto fans extremely satisfied. It has not been ten years since they scored 6 goals in a single game against their old rival Benfica. Now they are finally refreshed. After the whistle for the end of the game was blown, the Dragon Stadium turned into a sea of joy, and all the fans stood up and shouted Champion.
Then the president of the Portuguese Football Federation, Madair, presented the championship medal and trophy to Porto.
When Gao Xiaodong, as the captain, held up the League Cup championship trophy, Hulk, Fernando and a few others hugged Gao Xiaodong. At the same time, the audience in Porto gave a standing ovation and shouted loudly.
Some chanted Champion, some chanted Porto, and some chanted Gao Xiaodong, but all of them were filled with joy and happiness.
The on-site commentator said excitedly and affectionately: The 19-year-old Gao Xiaodong raised the championship trophy. This is Porto's first League Cup champion, and it is also Gao Xiaodong's first championship for Porto. There may be a Portuguese Cup champion later. As a talented new star, Porto will definitely not be able to keep him. He may leave Porto next season, or the next season, but no matter where he goes, Porto fans will always remember what he brought us. The wonderful goals, the trophies and the happy times...
