Chapter 624 Making History

Stones saw that Ronaldo couldn't get rid of Maguire for a while, so he turned around and rushed towards him, intending to double-team with Maguire to intercept the Portuguese captain's ball.

As he moved away from Bernardo Silva, Ronaldo passed the ball and found Bruno on the left.

Bruno happened to be facing the goal. Facing Ronaldo's pass, he adjusted his pace while running and made a posture to shoot directly from a long distance.

When Stones saw Ronaldo passing the football back, he quickly turned around and rushed towards Bruno.

At the same time, another England defender Kyle Walker made a move to block the shot.

Bruno did not take a long shot directly, but gently flicked the football to the right, dodged Stones who rushed back, and then he dribbled the ball into the penalty area!

Bruno broke into the penalty area and suddenly took a shot. The football rolled against the turf from the inside of the goal post and into the goal!

England goalkeeper Pickford did not expect that Bruno's first shot was false, and the second shot came so quickly. He could not react in time and could only stand there and watch the football roll from the side of the goal post into the goal.

………………

"Bruno Fernandez! He equalized the score for Portugal! Beautiful goal! He deceived two English players! At this moment, Stones and Pickford can only serve as background for him!"

After scoring the goal, Bruno took the initiative to hug Ronaldo, who assisted him. Other Portuguese players also swarmed over and hugged the two people tightly.

After leveling the score at 1:1, the Portuguese team did not give up the attack and continued to look for scoring opportunities.

The England team was also anxious and they stepped up their attack.

The two teams once again fought against each other in the game, and it was very lively.

During this period, Southgate also continued to mobilize his troops, especially replacing Rashford, Dier and Vardy one after another to strengthen the attack.

On the Portuguese side, Santos has not made any moves yet. After all, Portugal has performed well during this period, and the players on the field are already the strongest in each position.

England, which changed three players in a row, took advantage of the physical advantages of the new players to continuously organize attacks. In particular, Rashford and Ashley Young, a pair of English wing-backs, frequently assisted, but Bruno, who was familiar with their game habits, seized the space behind them before they could return to defense and passed the ball to the players in front.

………………

In the 79th minute, England had been besieging the Portuguese goal for five minutes. Two of their shots almost went in, but they were saved by the tenacious Portuguese players.

Just after this, Portugal suddenly launched a fast break. After Joao Mario intercepted the ball, he passed the football to Bruno. Bruno took two steps forward and handed it to Cancelo who was advancing at high speed from the wing.

Cancelo is quite fast. According to his characteristics, Bruno passes the ball in the direction of Cancelo's running and quite far away from him, just to take full advantage of Cancelo's speed.

Cancelo ran so fast that the English players couldn't keep up.

After receiving the ball, Cancelo did not hesitate and swept the ball directly to the center. This time it was Bruno who came forward again!

After Bruno received the ball, he went straight to the yellow dragon. In front of him, there were only English defender Maguire and goalkeeper Pickford.

This problem is easy to deal with.

Bruno accelerated forcefully, making Maguire think he was about to overtake. After causing Maguire to move ahead, he suddenly stopped, dunked the ball back, and shot with his right foot.

The football drew an arc, bypassed Pickford who rushed out, and flew into the goal!

"Second goal! Second goal! GOLO! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" the Portuguese TV commentator roared. He did not expect that the Portuguese team could complete the reversal in the second half. "This is Bruno's second goal of the game. ! It was also his fifth goal in this World Cup! His performance was simply amazing!”

"2:1! England is in trouble!"

………………

After Bruno scored, Santos replaced Bernardo Silva with Quaresma, who was almost exhausted, and continued to strengthen the offensive.

"It seems like he doesn't want to start defending now!" the Portuguese commentator commented on Santos' substitution. "Quaresma will help Portugal control the ball and break through in the midfield. He is also a fast and good player. Bring wing players who can cross..."

The England team also did not expect that Portugal did not retreat after taking the lead, but continued to attack.

This move caught them off guard, and in the next ten minutes, they failed to organize any effective attack at all. Because Bruno has been pressing Ali closely.

And Ali's performance has not been very good since he was kicked in the chest by Bernardo Silva's powerful long shot in the first half.

Henderson had the intention to step forward, but was afraid that Bruno would be left unmarked and cause even greater trouble if he went up, so he had no choice but to give up.

Ali was unable to organize an attack, and England could only rely on the simplest style of play, allowing the wings to continuously attack Portugal's defense.

Rashford, the wing-back who came off the bench, seemed very active, but after his characteristics became familiar to the Portuguese players, it became much easier to defend.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Portuguese players hugged each other. They defeated the strong opponent England and advanced to the World Cup final in Russia!

"Congratulations to Portugal! Bruno is the best player of the game, and he is also the biggest hero that Portugal can reverse and win!" The commentator praised Bruno's performance.

Although the players were encouraged to show their level and fighting spirit in the locker room before the game, it was still a "surprise" for Portugal coach Santos to successfully beat England and enter the World Cup final.

After winning the World Cup semi-final at Luzhniki Stadium, Bruno saw the madness of the fans - the excited Portuguese fans followed the team's bus all the way to the hotel where they stayed, and made a fuss there until three o'clock in the morning before dispersing at the request of the police. The scene was completely comparable to winning the World Cup.

It's no wonder that the Portuguese fans were ecstatic. After all, entering the World Cup final has created history for Portugal. Their best result in the World Cup before was only third place in the 1966 World Cup in England and fourth place in the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Now that they have made it to the World Cup final, whether they win or lose, they will surpass their previous best results.
