The Portuguese Super Cup participants are the winners of last season's Portuguese Premier League and the Portuguese Cup.

Benfica finished last season with 28 wins, three draws and three defeats, beating Porto and Sporting Lisbon to reclaim the league trophy.

Sporting Lisbon, one of the top three giants of the Portuguese Premier League, did not play well in the league last season, finishing fourth and even surpassing Braga in the standings.

The only consolation was to win the Portuguese Cup, avoiding a situation in which all four were empty. Moreover, winning the Portuguese Cup also qualifies for the Europa League.

However, it was precisely because of the poor performance last season that this season, the club kept Nani, who was ready to leave, recalled the loan B fee from Serie A, and signed the Portuguese Golden Boot Ye Hang.

This season, Sporting Lisbon is ambitious.

This can be seen from the importance attached to the Portuguese Super Cup this time.

In particular, the opponent in the home final is still the arch-rival Benfica.

Founded in 1904, Benfica is one of the top three in the Portuguese Premier League, having won the Portuguese Premier League 37 times and the Champions League twice. Their match against arch-rivals Sporting Lisbon is known as the "derby of derbys" and is the most important match in Portugal.

In the friendly matches before the Portuguese Premier Cup, both teams performed well and were in good form.

For the sake of fairness, the Portuguese Super League matches are played on neutral venues.

Today the match was played at the Dragon Stadium in Porto.

Tickets were sold out a week before the game.

The fans of the two teams are originally mortal enemies in the same city, and every game between the two teams is full of gunpowder between the players on the field, and the fans off the field are also-for-tat.

With two hours to go before the start of the game, the starting line-ups of both teams were announced.

Ye Hang did not get the starter and came off the bench.

This made the fans who liked Ye Hang a little disappointed, especially those who supported Ye Hang from Mafrat.

The on-site commentator is analyzing the upcoming game.

In the last few meetings between the two teams, Benfica has an overwhelming advantage.

In the Portuguese Premier League last season, Atletico Lisbon were beaten home and away, which made public opinion and media basically optimistic about Benfica winning the trophy before this match.

Half an hour before the game, the scene was basically full.

The live director plays footage of the scene from time to time.

Basically, the stars of Portuguese football came to the scene.

Former Real Madrid star Figo, who has retired, his arrival caused a round of cheers from the audience.

He is one of the leading figures of Portugal's golden generation, has won the honours of World Footballer of the Year and European Footballer of the Year, and is an excellent playmaker in midfield. Decommissioned on 31 May 2009.

Like Ronaldo, he was also born at Sporting Lisbon.

This game came to the scene, but also to cheer for the parent team.

......

In the dressing room, Sporting Lisbon coach Sousa is giving a pre-match lecture.

"Lads, I don't need to say more about the importance of this game."

"I just want to say that there have been two and no more times, the last two called confrontations, we are all losers."

"Today's game, I believe we will never fail."

"I believe in you, and I hope you believe in yourselves."

"Victory belongs to Sporting Lisbon! Come on! "

Finish speaking. The sermon ended.

However, to Ye Hang's surprise, Susa actually came to him specifically.

"Ye, I originally wanted to let you start today, but I want you to surprise them with this superweapon. So arranged your substitute, I hope you understand. "

"No problem, boss." Ye Hang responded with a smile from Susa.

"Young man, get ready, give Benfica a good look."

Saying that, Susa smiled and patted Ye Hang's shoulder and left the dressing room.

......

On 8 August 2016, at 7:45 p.m. Portuguese time, the Portuguese Super League began.

The first is the kick-off by Benfica.

In the beginning, both teams were slower, after all, it was a tiebreaker final.

And the strength of the two teams is close, and they are more cautious at first.

However, as the game progressed, the smell of derby gradually became stronger.

The movements of the players on the field are getting bigger and bigger.

Less than 30 minutes into the first half, the referee had already shown four yellow cards.

Ye Hang under the field was not in a hurry.

After all, the coach had already told him before the game, and he was most likely to play in the second half.

However, in the 35th minute, an accident happened.

Atletico Lisbon's left-back Lima faced rivalry with right-winger Franco Sevi in the first 30 minutes.

Sevi is Benfica's rising star last season and is proud.

In the game ahead, several breakthroughs were destroyed by the Lima defense.

The two also had several direct physical conflicts.

Especially in the previous time, Lima dribbled the ball to tackle the touchline, and although the referee showed Lima a yellow card, Saiwei was still uncomfortable.

This time, Sai Wei received a pass from his own striker Oulu and was about to break through with the ball along the wing, but was directly tackled by Lima.

Saivi's emotions suddenly lost control and he shoveled at Lima's right anx, who turned to pass the ball out.

Lima fell to the ground with a scream, and Tomei, the captain of the Lisbon field, went over to check and signaled the coach to change.

It seems that Saiwei's kick is hard enough, which directly makes Lima unable to continue the game.

The players of Sporting Lisbon rushed towards Sevi, and Tomei persuaded the players to remain calm while complaining to the referee about Savi's behavior.

Fans of Sporting Lisbon on the pitch also booed loudly.
