Chapter 748 Legend
In the 81st minute of the game, Ukraine's right defense had a loophole under heavy pressure, which was immediately seized by Portugal.
Bernardo Silva used his personal skills to cut in from the wing and suddenly shot. The ball was saved by Ukrainian goalkeeper Piatov. Ronaldo rushed in front of Matvienko and headed the ball out. Bernardo Silva headed the ball to Bruno, who stopped the ball with his chest and shot directly.
This was a rebound ball. The ball bounced in front of the goal and jumped up, just avoiding the save of goalkeeper Piatov.
When the ball bounced into the net, the Kyiv Olympic Stadium, which was so noisy just now, became quiet.
After scoring the goal, Bruno rushed to the away fans' stand. He beat his chest hard and shouted loudly. He told the fans with his actions that he was there, so please rest assured.
Since Ronaldo left the Portuguese national team for a short time after the World Cup, Bruno has become the absolute core and spiritual pillar of the Portuguese national team.
Although Ronaldo returned to the Portuguese national team this year and wore the captain's armband again, the absolute core of the Portuguese national team has become Bruno, and it has not changed because of Ronaldo's return.
All Portuguese fans will feel at ease as long as they can see Bruno on the court, because Bruno has never let them down.
………………
Just as the Portuguese players were celebrating the goal, Santos hurriedly called Bruma, who had finished warming up and changed his equipment, to give the final tactical instructions.
In the 82nd minute of the game, Portugal made a substitution, Joao Mario was replaced and Bruma came on as a substitute.
Portugal changed its formation again, with Danilo Pereira, Bernardo Silva and Bruno forming three midfielders, and Bruma, Ronaldo and Felix forming three forwards.
Not only that, Portugal continued to insist on the entire offensive focus tilted to the left, and the oppressed Ukraine's right side was a little embarrassed for a while.
In the 89th minute of the game, when Bernardo Silva got the ball in the frontcourt, facing Malinovsky who was pressing him, he pretended to pass it to Ronaldo who came to meet him, but suddenly accelerated the ball. Seeing that he was about to break through, Malinovsky stretched out his hand to pull.
Bernardo Silva fell to the ground and the referee blew the whistle.
Portugal quickly sent a free kick, and Danilo Pereira kicked the ball forward directly. At this time, he suddenly changed positions with Bernardo Silva and came to Bruno on the left to get the ball.
Facing the defender Krivtsov who came to press him, he turned around on the spot and suddenly passed the ball to the right!
………………
"Gap!"
"Large gap!"
With Bruno's pass, Portugal, which had been attacking the left side fiercely, suddenly launched an attack from the gap on the right.
Bernardo Silva had already moved without the ball, and he successfully received Bruno's beautiful diagonal pass.
At the same time, Felix, Ronaldo, Bruno and Danilo Pereira who came in from behind were all running forward. The Portuguese offensive line of four arrows suddenly made the Ukrainian defense feel a huge pressure, a little flustered and exhausted.
"Watch Ronaldo!" Ukrainian goalkeeper Piatov shouted loudly.
In his eyes, the most threatening of these Portuguese offensive players is still Ronaldo. Bernardo Silva either crosses from the bottom or cuts in to shoot.
If he wants to cross, the most likely choice is to find Ronaldo who has the best header ability.
However, Bernardo Silva did not pass the ball to the penalty area, but suddenly chose to cut in, and then when he pretended to shoot, he suddenly chose to pass the ball to the empty space in the ribs.
As Bernardo Silva took the ball on the right, Ukraine's defense immediately tilted to the left. At this time, the ribs on the right were suddenly empty, and a blank area was formed there instantly.
………………
As Bernardo Silva passed the ball, the camera followed, and a short black boy appeared in people's sight.
"It's Bruma! The Ukrainians have forgotten him!"
"Bruma! The boy that Santos replaced!" Commentator Martin Taylor shouted, and the sudden shout startled many people in front of the TV.
Ukraine's defense line immediately panicked. They had just focused their defensive attention on Felix, Bruno, Ronaldo, Bernardo Silva and others, and did not pay attention to the black boy who had just come on the court.
Seeing Bruma take the ball in an unguarded area, Ukrainian goalkeeper Piatov immediately shouted: "Go up one person! Block his cross!" In everyone's opinion, this kind of rookie who rarely gets a chance to play will definitely not dare to be rash in such a crucial game. He is likely to choose to lob the ball into the penalty area instead of shooting.
But everyone stared with wide eyes, and saw Bruma swinging his right foot and directly rubbing an arc. The football flew up, bypassing the crowd in the penalty area, bypassing the hands of Ukrainian goalkeeper Piatov, and spun into the goal!
Portugal 3:2 Ukraine, they reversed the score and surpassed!
In the 90th minute of the game, Bruma, who came on as a substitute, received a pass from Bernardo Silva, rubbed a beautiful arc, and broke through the Ukrainian goal.
The lore!
………………
"Bruma! Bruma! 3:2! Beautiful arc, beautiful goal, beautiful world wave!" The commentator Andy Gray shouted loudly.
He was very excited to witness such a wonderful lore goal. It was exciting.
"Please remember this Portuguese kid, Amindo Touré na Bonya, but those who are familiar with him call him Bruma. This Portuguese international, who will be celebrating his 25th birthday in ten days, came off the bench to score a lore goal in his first appearance in the European Cup qualifiers of his career."
"This Portuguese international, who currently plays for Eindhoven in the Dutch Eredivisie, was once regarded as a rising star of Portugal. He was first selected for the national team in October 2013 when he was only 19 years old. At that time, the famous Bruno made his debut for the Portuguese national team."
"Unlike Bruno, who has now grown into one of the three giants in world football, Bruma's development in the club was not smooth. After transferring to the Turkish Super League giant Galatasaray in the summer of 2013, Bruma was not able to gain a foothold. Since then, he has moved to many clubs and his performance has been unsatisfactory. He has never been called up by the Portuguese national team again."
"In the first UEFA Nations League last year, Bruma returned to the Portuguese national team after five years, but he has not made any achievements. I didn't expect that he would score in his first appearance in the European Cup qualifiers today."
"This is also his first goal for the Portuguese national team. Although this goal seems a little late, after all, Bruno, who is the same age as him, has scored 66 national team goals, ranking second in the Portuguese national team's historical scorer list, second only to the current Portuguese national team captain Cristiano Ronaldo!"
"... Bruma was a little confused after scoring the goal. This kid was so stupid. He seemed to not know how to celebrate. In the end, he ran to the away team's stand and beat his chest hard. Isn't this Bruno's celebration action just now?"
………………
Two minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. Portugal reversed Ukraine 3:2 away and achieved a double kill against Ukraine!
After this victory, Portugal not only stabilized its first place in the group, but also locked the first place in the group two rounds in advance, and at the same time locked the qualification for the European Cup next summer.
In this way, even if Portugal does not consider the wild card for the European Cup through the UEFA Nations League, it has already secured its qualification for the European Cup next summer.

After the game, Ronaldo posted a text on his personal social media: "I am very proud to score the 700th goal of my career. I want to share this honor with all those who helped me achieve this goal."
The official Twitter account of the Portuguese national team paid tribute to the national team legend: "For some people, such an achievement is impossible to achieve, but for the best, these are far from enough. CR700 has made history and is always pursuing the next goal, because a true legend never stops!"
