Originally, he thought that Gu Hao would volley violently, but Gu Hao hit a dead end.

This left the goalkeeper who was ready to go completely unresponsive to save.

Gu Hao, who scored the goal, was obviously excited and celebrated towards the audience around the opponent's half.

The live broadcast shot also gave Gu Hao a close-up, and Gu Hao's handsome face also made Zhan Jun admire.

"Don't say anything else, Gu Hao is really handsome and can play, this kick is really tricky, I really didn't expect that Ajax could actually play back and forth with Benfica and score first, it seems that the later game is more exciting."

"It's so calm, he knew he couldn't score in the first half, and he started playing penetration and angles in the second half, is he really 18 years old?"

"Can you believe that a few months ago he was a university team, and now he is playing against the big teams in the Champions League?"

And the audience in the broadcast room also began to talk about it, all of which were praise for Gu Hao.

After all, Hua Guo finally produced a player who could get his hands on it.

Although this player said not to join the national team.

On the field.

Gu Hao was warned by the referee after celebrating his goal.

"Gu! Come back to halftime, you've been celebrating for too long! Faced

with the referee's warning, Gu Hao was puzzled and complained to the referee.

"I didn't take much time, did I?"

The referee walked up to Gu Hao and looked at Gu Hao with serious eyes.

'Today is a special game, you celebrate for a long time and it will cause displeasure at Benfica, they will think you are delaying time and know no, so hurry back to your half-time.

"Okay." Gu Hao nodded in understanding.

After being scored, Benfica's mentality is still not in a hurry.

But the aggressiveness is noticeably stronger.

They had a number of free kicks by breaking through and cooperating in small areas up front.

That's exactly what Benfica wants.

Van der Sar frowned on the sidelines, Benfica had already taken three free-kicks in those ten minutes, which was a bad sign.

He shouted on the sidelines to remind Ajax's players to watch their body and not give Benfica free kicks.

'Spectators, we know that Benfica is a very good team for free kicks, with free-kick masters Fernandes and Pizzi, and it is very dangerous for Ajax to do so.

As soon as the narrator's words fell, the stadium suddenly burst into a huge cheer.

One minute ago.

Benfica won a free kick not far from the penalty area line.

It's a great position, either straight at goal or with teammates to play tactical free-kicks.

And, this position is what Fernandez does best.

Fernandez put the ball in place, took a deep breath and took a few steps back.

I saw him running slightly, and at the moment of kicking into the middle of the ball, his ankles quickly trembled, and the ball suddenly received the force of rotating inward, and then the ball fell rapidly over the high human wall.

Onana was very focused and made a save the moment the ball crossed the human wall.

But the ball fell too fast, and before he could hit the ground, the ball bounced off his arm and into the goal.

1 to 1.

The score was instantly equalized.

After the goal, Fernandes visibly released his pent-up emotions.

Punch and yell at the audience.

Benfica's people were celebrating, and Gu Hao was watching from a distance near the midfield line.

He knows the free-kick is well positioned, but Fernandes can score and his free-kick is really good.

At least not worse than the Cristiano Ronaldo template currently used by Gu Hao.

Watching Benfica's players celebrate for a long time, Gu Hao couldn't help but remind the referee in front.

"They've been celebrating for too long, haven't they?"

Instead of speaking, the referee blew the whistle to alert Benfica's players.

The game started again, and the ball was quickly opened by Gu Hao.

Now 20 minutes have passed in the second half.

The 76th minute of the game.

De Jong possessed the ball at the back and saw Hakim Ziyech on the right through an open line of sight.

Because Benfica left-back did not return to the half-time in time after participating in the attack, the keen Ziyech quickly raised his hand for the ball.

De Jong spotted it, so he sent a straight ball.

Hakim Ziyech received the ball and quickly advanced near the outside of the box.

Benfica centre-backs quickly stepped in to block Hakim Ziyech's shot and cut inside.

Seeing this scene, Ziyech had to pass to Mazraoui behind him.

Mazraoui received the ball, took a few steps back, and then sent a precise cross to find Gu Hao.

Gu Hao saw the cross ball flying towards him and jumped high.

Just as he was about to reach the top, he felt that his back was suddenly pushed by a pair of hands.

As soon as Dias's hands pushed, it immediately caused Gu Hao's body, which was jumping in the air, to lose his balance.

The ball was not picked up by anyone and was firmly caught by the goalkeeper.

And because Gu Hao, who lost his balance in the air, fell to the ground fiercely.

Holding back the severe pain, Gu Hao got up and complained to the referee.

"Referee! What does this mean? He pushes me in the air, don't you award penalties ?? In

the face of Gu Hao's foul language and questioning, the referee just sounded the whistle to continue the game.

Soon the Ajax players gathered around to complain.

The referee extends his palm to indicate not to approach the referee.

"There is nothing wrong with this ball, it is normal to lose balance due to physical confrontation during the take-off."

"But he pushed me with his hand!"

Gu Hao was still explaining, but the referee didn't listen at all and sounded the whistle again.

"Fuck." Gu Hao's words were said in Hua Chinese, and the referee didn't understand it, but just glanced at him.

The game continues.

Benfica's goalkeeper gently lowered the ball and kicked it to defender Dias.

In the following time, due to the fast pace of play and fierce body collisions, Ajax's physical strength dropped significantly, and the number of passing errors increased.

On the other hand, Benfica, because of the pass control system, the players do not run much in a wide range, the defenders retain a lot of physical strength, and the midfield has significantly more opportunities to control the ball.

Seeing this scene, Van der Sar immediately replaced Van de Beek with Christensen to increase midfield control.

Then let Neres replace Tadic and Kluivert Jr. replace Ziyech.

In this way, Ajax kept the midfield alive while also keeping the two young players aggressive up front.

Benfica also quickly made substitutions, replacing two midfielders and a centre forward in a row.

Looking at the situation, it is about to fight with Ajax for control of the midfield.

The appearance of substitutes made the pace of the game much faster.

Because the substitute has a lot of physical strength, it is difficult for a player who has played more than 80 minutes to defend the substitute player in a one-on-one situation.

Especially fast ones like Neres.

The 87th minute of the match.

Neres dribbled the ball on the wing and a sharp acceleration threw away right-back Grimado.

Past right-back Grimado, Neres quickly dribbled the ball towards the box.

Then Neres looked up and found Gu Hao quickly inserting his left front.

Even if there was a grudge before, Neres made the right choice at the moment, and he chose to pass it to Gu Hao.
