Chapter 193: Road to Liga NOS Champions 2019/20 XX
{GOALLL!!!}

{What an attack, what clever positioning, what poise, and what a stunner!}

{Porto are stunned!}

{It is a night that should be a night of their dreams, but they must have forgotten that nightmares are also dreams!}

{A dream that the Porto players or their fans do not want to see, but is being shoved down their throats by Sporting!}

{Sporting CP are making a statement here and don’t plan on letting Porto lift the league title by being defeated by them} The commentator shouted at the top of his voice into the microphone, intent on displaying all the emotions that he was feeling to the fans.

The hearts of Porto fans all over the world dropped as they saw their team go behind Sporting CP in what could be counted as the most important match of Porto this season as of that moment.

The Sporting players celebrated their goal wildly as they couldn’t be bothered to think about how the Porto fans would feel after going behind, especially when the fans weren’t even at the stadium.

The Porto players couldn’t do much more than watch as the Sporting players celebrated their goal, but they didn’t let their heads drop and they showed their determination as soon as they kicked off to resume the game.

With amazing intensity and determination, the Porto players charged at the Sporting team, hoping to get an equalizer as soon as possible.

#64th minute…

Otavio sent the ball down the left wing into the path of Luis Diaz who was dashing down the left wing at an amazing pace.

Receiving the ball and smoothly flicking it past the player who had tried to tackle him, Luis Diaz continued unhindered by the Sporting players as he ran and as soon as he was comfortable with where he had reached, he immediately sent a curling cross into the Sporting team’s penalty box.

{It’s Diaz with a cross into the box. Can they find something here?} The commentator followed the situation with apt commentary.

As the ball flew into Sporting CP’s penalty box, it curled into the path of Tiquiniho Soares who leaped high into the air and caught the ball with his head, sending it at the goalkeeper.

{Header!!! And Oh! What a save from the goalkeeper!} the commentator shouted and just as his words depicted, the ball headed by Tiquiniho Soares had flown at the goal, but had been stopped by an amazing diving save from Sporting’s goalkeeper who had barely managed to save the ball by pushing it back.

{… the ball has fallen favourably… and oh what a hit from Jason!!!}

Jason had been nearby and seeing as the ball had been saved by the Sporting CP’s goalkeeper, he immediately ran at the ball, escaping his marker’s attempt to push him away and smashing the ball into the back of the net.

{GOAL!!!}

{What a response to going behind! Porto are level once again! They still believe!}

{It’s clear that this young player has been listening well to his seniors on correct positioning and he was at the right place, at the right time to give his team an equalizer and a confidence booster for the rest of the match!}

{What a player!}

{His team is once again back within reach of lifting the League title tonight!}

{Can they go on to win this!?} The commentator’s voice was accompanied by shouts from the Porto fans from wherever they were watching the match or following it with the aid of live score applications.

The Porto players also celebrated the goal with enthusiasm for a while before they quickly headed back to their half to resume the game as they still had work to do if they wanted to ensure a victory and lift the trophy at the end of the game.

The match soon resumed again with both teams going at each other, doing their best to ensure that they were the ones that got the next goal.

#77th minute…

The Sporting CP team was in possession of the ball and the ball was flying around among their defenders due to how hard the Porto players were pressing them, their enthusiasm almost palpable as they chased after the ball untiring like they were mindless zombies.

{Ever since they got their equalizer, Porto have taken the fight to their opponents and have been pressing hard as they look to get another goal to ensure an absolute surety of lifting the league title}

{If the game goes on like this, they would still lift the League trophy, but they seem to be looking for absolute surety and are not willing to leave their chances at the League title up to luck but the Sporting CP team doesn’t seem to want to allow them to have their way}

{They’re keeping the ball away from the Porto players with their well placed passe- oh, that pass seems a little short and it has been intercepted by Tiquiniho Soares in the final third} The commentator described the situation of Soares intercepting a pass from between the two center backs and was now charging at the Sporting CP’s goalkeeper.

{What a mistake by the defender and he seems to want to make up for with with how hard he is chasing the Porto striker, but it’s already too late as the Soares is already through on goal, what is he going to do with the ball!?}

Tiquinniho Soares kept moving at the Sporting CP goalkeeper, slightly tilting his run to the left and making the Sporting CP goalkeeper change directions come at him, but once the goalkeeper was only about two yards away from him, Tiquiniho unexpectedly passed the ball to the right where Jason suddenly popped up on his right side completely unmarked and tapped the ball into the open goal.

{GOAL!!!}

{It was a chance that was gifted to them by the opposition and they gobbled it up!}

{What an unselfish goal by the Porto team!}

{The striker passed the ball to his partner upfront to ensure a hundred percent chance at goal and you can see gratitude in the goal scorer’s eyes as he goes up to hug the assistant in celebration!}

{With this Porto are up to two and have finally taken the lead in a match that once again looks to be the night of their dreams!}

{Now that they are finally in the lead, the Porto fans can dream again!}

{I’m sure the prevalent question on the Porto fans’ minds is “Can their team add another goal to hammer their opponents, and if they can, could it be up to Jason to get his second hat trick of the season?}
