You know, this is the knockout round of the World Cup, even if you are the defending champion, you only have one chance!
So every mistake you make in the arena, it's dancing on the tip of a knife.
In the case of Portugal's smooth attack, the front ten was particularly intense.
Although Yuqin and Ronaldo and others attacked quickly, they did not find a chance to score.
After all, the Swiss team has been experienced along the way, and it is impossible to easily show flaws.
Yuqin and Ronaldo faced the most defenders, after all, the two of them were the most outstanding Portuguese team in the last game.
When defending Yuqin, the Swiss team always played more and less and actively blocked Yuqin's forward route.
Such a dense personnel blockade made Yuqin have to shoot from a distance.
Ronaldo's peak is the range after half the game, and the same is true of Yuqin today.
However, the attention of both players is highly concentrated, and under the interference of the defenders, Yuqin wants to blast the Swiss goal from a distance, which is obviously very difficult.
Although his long-range shot attempt failed, Yuqin was not in a hurry, knowing in his heart that under such pressure from the Portuguese team, the stalemate and glue were only temporary.
He believes that sooner or later Portugal will be able to break through the Swiss goal.
Portugal again won the ball and midfielder Carvalho was careless and his pass was broken.
The Swiss striker quickly began to counter-attack, and the Portuguese defense did not expect to concede a goal in midfield.
Swiss 20 million Euro striker Embolo was already in front of Portugal when he received a pass from his teammate.
Although Portugal's Pepe and Díaz are chasing madly, the Portuguese defenders are unable to face Embolo, who is over 90 faster.
Even tactical fouls are difficult to do in the first place.
Embolo took the ball to the Portuguese penalty area and Pepe finally arrived as he swept the ball left to prepare for a shot.
In the nick of time, Pepe made a sliding tackle and led Embolo to the ground.
Yu Qin, who was in the midfield, knew that Pepe might suffer this time, even if he did not see the details.
Shoveling people in the restricted area is not a wise move no matter how you look at it.
Embolo fell to the ground in pain, clutching his left foot and wailing, waiting for the referee's decision.
The referee did not hesitate to show Pepe a yellow card directly while pointing to the penalty spot.
In his eyes, the first thing Pepe's tackle touched was not a football, but Embolo's left foot.
Yellow card + sending points, Pepe paid a heavy price for his impulsiveness.
In the stalemate penalty, the Swiss spectator burst into thunderous cheers.
After all, this penalty may mean a goal!
Fans supporting Portugal were silent, and while some felt that the tackle did not result in a foul, it did not help.
Since the referee gave the verdict, the penalty was destined to be irreparable.
The pressure was instantly on Portugal's side, and now they can only hope for their goalkeeper Costa.
Hopefully, he will be able to protect Portugal's goal and save this penalty for the team.
Embolo, who had fallen to the ground in pain a moment ago, was now full of blood after seeing the referee's penalty.
Even jumping alive and teammates began to celebrate.
Commentary: "This penalty is indisputable from the replay.
"Although Embolo's fall had an acting element in it, Pepe began to slide the tackle as he was about to raise his foot to hit the goal."
"And judging from the VR slow play, Pepe did touch Embolo's body first, and then touched the ball and put Embolo to the ground by the way."
"Of course, some referees may not award penalties when this ball comes, and since the referee in this game has already awarded the penalty, then we can only accept it."
Embolo takes a penalty!
With the whistle, Embolo signaled that he was ready and the penalty kick began!
After a brief acceleration, Embolo instantly lifted his foot to hit the goal, and the ball flew into the net from the left in response.
Goalkeeper Costa pounced to the right the moment he raised his foot, and before the match, Costa studied Embolo's penalty habits.
Unfortunately, in this game, Costa guessed in the wrong direction.
Against the mighty Portuguese team, Switzerland took the lead in scoring Portugal's goal with a penalty!
Portugal 0:1 Switzerland.
At this time, the pressure of the game came to the Portuguese team in an instant, and it only took a mistake to break the Swiss team's own goal.
There is no doubt that this blow is huge for the Portuguese team.
At this time, Portugal obviously needs someone who can step up, lead them to equalize the score, and then turn the tide of the battle.
Regret and complaints don't change anything, and Yuqin never thought that this match would be his last match in the World Cup.
His goal has always been to be a champion!
The morale of the Swiss team was boosted after the goal, but instead of continuing to attack aggressively, they defended more intensely.
Against Portugal's sharp trident, they have taken the lead and Switzerland really don't need to risk attacking at this point.
Cristiano Ronaldo got the ball, but he didn't go headlong into the Swiss encirclement.
Instead, he began to move towards Yuqin's left side, and seeing this, Yuqin quickly ran forward, ready to catch the ball in front.
The two Swiss defenders who were originally defending Yuqin, Schal and Akanji, faced with such a situation, Akanji went directly to participate in the siege of Ronaldo.
Block the angle of Ronaldo's forward pass, trying to force Ronaldo to pass the ball backwards.
Of course, Ronaldo understood the other party's intentions, and at this time Yuqin had already begun to insert forward, and Ronaldo knew what to do.
Gently dunking the football, Ronaldo gestured to pass the ball, and Akanji, who participated in the blocking, followed the momentum and prepared to intercept the ball.
Ronaldo raised his foot and buckled again, taking advantage of the gap he had made to pass the football to Yuqin's big front.
In the face of Ronaldo's fast pass, Yuqin, who had been prepared for a long time, had no reason not to catch up with it.
On the contrary, it was Shahr, who was defending him closely, and did not expect that this ball would pass so far away from Yuqin.
Like a gust of wind, Yuqin instantly opened the distance between him and Shar, and chased Ronaldo's pass at the first time.
Seeing Yuqin, who was advancing by leaps and bounds in front of the Swiss team, a huge cheer broke out in the stadium.
Yuqin, one of the fastest strikers in the World Cup, came to the enemy penalty area with the ball.
And in front of him is only the last defender of the Swiss team, Rodriguez.
These few pieces of information slipped through my mind and were enough to get the fans who supported the Portuguese team excited.
"Yuqin! Opportunity!!! Santos
shouted directly, no one was more eager to tie the score than he was, and the pressure of the score in the knockout round made him a little breathless.
The World Cup goalscorer leader, the group stage goalscorer king, Santos does not believe who else can Yuqin believe?
