章 264: Liga NOS is Back! III

#45+2...

*Fweeeeee*

The referee blew the whistle to resume the game and the Braga side kicked off.

Immediately after kick-off, the Braga players swarmed into Porto's half of the field, giving support to the player on the ball as they wanted to launch a last attack before the whistle to end the first half was finally blown.

They were a bit anxious at having their lead snatched away from them just before halftime and they launched an attack intending to immediately take back the lead.

The ball flew from one Braga player to another as they overloaded Porto's half of the field.

Soon the ball reached Porto's final third and the Braga left winger sent in a cross, hoping to create a chance for his strikers, but Pepe had been watching the ball all the while and as soon as the ball came into the box, he lunged into the path of the ball and kicked it away to clear the ball.
