On his way forward, Sergio Oliveira, who came to defend, hurried forward to block him. Ashraf Hakimi was not afraid. He swung his body flexibly, and a fake move made Sergio Oliveira misjudge. Sergio Oliveira missed the ball and showed a look of astonishment on his face, while Ashraf Hakimi took the opportunity to continue to rush forward.
At this time, Marco Verratti ran to respond in a telepathic way. Ashraf Hakimi's eyes were stern and he passed the ball decisively. Marco Verratti caught the ball steadily, made a slight adjustment, and sent the ball to Ashraf Hakimi's feet with a precise back pass. Their cooperation was seamless, as if they had been rehearsed countless times. This wonderful two-on-one easily passed Porto's full-back Alex Telles, and Ashraf Hakimi dribbled the ball to the front of Porto's penalty area.
At the same time, Manchester United striker Erling Haaland was like a wild horse running away, rushing forward at high speed towards the middle of Porto's penalty area. His eyes were firm and sharp, staring at the goal in front of him, as if it was his prey. His steps were swift and powerful, and every step he took on the grass made a dull sound, as if announcing his determination. His figure was like a flash of lightning, instantly breaking the tranquility of the stadium.
Porto defender Felipe Augusto felt nervous when he saw this. He immediately realized the danger and followed Erling Haaland without hesitation. Felipe Augusto's eyes were focused and nervous. He stared closely at Erling Haaland's every move, not daring to relax at all. His body leaned forward slightly, and his feet pushed the ground hard, ready to make defensive moves at any time.
At the same time, Edinson Cavani also rushed forward to the right side of the penalty area. His movements were light and agile, like a cheetah running on the grassland. His eyes flashed with wit and decisiveness. He keenly noticed the loopholes in the opponent's defense and decisively chose to advance. Edinson Cavani's advance put another central defender Eder Militao in a dilemma. Eder Militao's eyes moved back and forth between Edinson Cavani and Ashraf Hakimi who was dribbling forward. His heart was full of hesitation and entanglement, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
In the end, Eder Militao made a firm choice and decided to give up defending Edinson Cavani and rushed towards Ashraf Hakimi at high speed. Eder Militao knew that he was the last line of defense in front of the goal. Once Ashraf Hakimi continued to dribble into the penalty area, it would be equivalent to directly exposing goalkeeper Igor Casillas to the opponent's shooting range. As a central defender, this is absolutely not allowed to happen.
At this time, Ashraf Hakimi seemed to have anticipated Eder Militao's actions. At the moment when he rushed at high speed, Ashraf Hakimi showed amazing calmness and skills. He was like an elegant dancer, with a beautiful Marseille turn, his body spinning lightly, and the football was like a magic, following closely under his feet. Eder Militao missed and showed a look of astonishment on his face. He never thought that Ashraf Hakimi could make such a wonderful move in such a tense situation.
After Ashraf Hakimi passed Eder Militao, he passed the ball to Edinson Cavani who was unguarded without any hesitation before the opponent fouled. This pass was accurate and decisive, as if it had been precisely calculated. The football drew a beautiful arc in the air and landed accurately at Edinson Cavani's feet.
However, at the moment when Ashraf Hakimi passed the ball, Eder Militao was unwilling to be passed by him. He reached out and pulled Ashraf Hakimi to try to stop his attack. Ashraf Hakimi was pulled by Eder Militao and fell at the front of Porto's penalty area. At that moment, the audience exclaimed. Everyone was nervously waiting for the referee's decision. The referee on duty, Damir Skomina, keenly observed the situation on the field, and his gestures accurately indicated: the attacking side has an advantage, and the game continues!
Facing Ashraf Hakimi's precise pass, Edinson Cavani took the lead, and while firmly controlling the ball under his feet, his body started instantly like a cheetah, and broke into the penalty area with the ball. Behind him, Eder Militao and Alex Telles, two Porto defenders, were trying hard to catch up, but they could only watch him tear through their defense like a flash of lightning.
At this time, Porto goalkeeper Igor Casillas saw this and decisively left the goal. Igor Casillas' eyes were full of determination., he knew that he had the responsibility of guarding the goal. His tall body was like an insurmountable fortress, moving quickly towards Edinson Cavani. He opened his arms and tried to use his momentum and defensive skills to block Edinson Cavani's attack.
However, Edinson Cavani was not intimidated by Igor Casillas's momentum. He calmly observed Igor Casillas's position and movements, and when Igor Casillas pounced at his feet, Edinson Cavani gently raised his right foot and kicked a shot. The football flew up lightly as if it was cast by magic, drawing a beautiful arc in the air and flying towards Porto's goal. In the end, the football accurately passed over Igor Casillas's head and fell into the goal.
"DUDU..." As the referee Damir Skomina blew the goal whistle at the first time, he came to Eder Militao and showed him a yellow card.
At that moment, the entire Civitas Metropolitan Stadium was boiling again, and the fans of Manchester United cheered and cheered like waves, one after another. "3:1! Manchester United scored another goal!" The commentator's excited voice echoed over the stadium.
Edinson Cavani raised his arms and showed a victorious smile on his face. Then, he turned and ran to Ashraf Hakimi, who assisted him, and hugged him tightly. The two patted each other on the back, sharing the hard-won joy of victory. Then, Edinson Cavani and Ashraf Hakimi ran to the sidelines together, waving their fists vigorously in the direction of Manchester United fans. The fans were also infected by his passion and cheered deafeningly.
The players closest to them, such as Erling Haaland, Cody Gakpo, Marco Verratti, Dani Olmo and Nico Williams, ran towards the two excitedly, shouting and waving their arms while running, their eyes full of excitement and joy.
Falling behind by two goals again completely aroused Porto's offensive blood. In addition to the players in the midfield and frontcourt, their defenders also boldly participated in the attack. Among them, the central defender Eder Militao, who was eager to make up for his mistakes, showed extraordinary courage and determination. While defending, he always paid attention to the opportunity to attack. Once he had the opportunity, he would rush forward without hesitation and participate in the attack.
In the 72nd minute of the game, Eder Militao received a pass from his teammate and moved forward decisively. Although his speed was not fast, his steps were firm and powerful. He cleverly avoided the pressing of Manchester United midfielder Marco Verratti, and then passed the ball to Otavio Edmilson on the wing. After receiving the ball, Otavio Edmilson once again showed his speed and skills. He quickly broke through Manchester United's defense and then passed a low ball into the penalty area.
In the penalty area, Porto's two forwards Moussa Marega and Vincent Aboubakar had already surrounded the ball and rushed towards the football like a hungry tiger. However, at this moment, Manchester United's central defenders Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane appeared in time, and they used their bodies to block the offensive routes of Porto's forwards Moussa Marega and Vincent Aboubakar, defusing the crisis.
Porto's attack was higher and higher, and their players seemed to be tireless, constantly running, passing and shooting. Their fighting spirit and determination infected every audience at the scene, and the audience cheered for their wonderful performance. However, Manchester United's defense was also very solid. Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane and others worked closely together. They used their bodies to block the offensive routes of Porto's attack group and did not give the opponent any chance.
In the 78th minute of the game, Raphael Varane was injured and fell to the ground while fighting with Vincent Aboubakar, and his old injury recurred. The moment Raphael Varane fell to the ground, a look of pain appeared on his face, and he covered his leg tightly, as if enduring great pain.
The team doctors quickly rushed into the field, treating the wound while closely observing Raphael Varane's reaction. They carefully opened Raphael Varane's trouser legs to expose the injured part. It was seen that it was slightly swollen, and the traces of the old injury were clearly visible. The team doctors quickly took out the first aid kit, took out the ice pack and gently applied it to the injured part. The moment the ice pack touched the skin, Raphael Varane frowned slightly, but he endured the pain without a groan. Another team doctor took out the spray and gently sprayed it on the injured part to relieve pain and reduce swelling.
After some emergency treatment, the team doctors stood up and talked with Muri on the sidelinesNeo communicated about Raphael Varane's injury. Mourinho's expression was solemn, and he soon decided to replace Raphael Varane with Ruben Dias.
At the same time, in order to strengthen the defense in the middle of the midfield, Mourinho decided to make another substitution adjustment: he replaced Nico Williams with Aurelian Chuameni. Aurelian Chuameni had a firm look in his eyes, and he stepped onto the court with the coach's instructions and expectations. His arrival will inject new vitality and intensity into the team's midfield defense.
In the 85th minute of the game, the game entered a white-hot stage. At this time, Porto defender Eder Militao's too frequent forward assists brought considerable pressure to Manchester United's defense. Manchester United coach Mourinho stood on the sidelines, his eyes were sharp, and he made a quick decision.
In order to suppress Eder Militao's behavior, he decided to replace Edinson Cavani, the hero of this game, with Romelu Lukaku. Romelu Lukaku stood up with a firm look in his eyes. He knew the responsibility he shouldered. He ran to the court quickly, ready to use his strong body and excellent confrontation ability to limit Eder Militao's forward pressure and keep the fruits of victory for Manchester United.
Edinson Cavani played very well in this game and scored two goals. His fighting spirit and excellent shooting skills left a deep impression on the fans. When he slowly walked to the sidelines, the atmosphere of the whole stadium was instantly ignited. Manchester United fans stood up one after another, their faces full of excitement and pride.
