Chapter 237: Blue and Black VS Blue and White X

{GOALLL!!!}

{Porto are dragging it back!}

{They have two and they are closer than ever to an equalizer!}

{After a first half where everything went wrong for their side, the second half brings promise!}

{You can see the joy and the anticipation on their faces as they embrace each other!}

{Another burden has been lifted off their neck and they only have to put another one past the goalkeeper before they are once again back on level terms!} Giuseppe’s excited voice exploded the excitement of the Porto fans watching as their team gradually staged a comeback.

They had thought all hopes were lost but Porto already had two back just twenty minutes into the second half and had at least another twenty-five minutes to try and get an equalizer or do something even more shocking.

Even the Porto players who had seemingly given up on the game could not help having their hopes once again rekindled and a light of hope appeared in their eyes as they quickly headed back to their half of the field, not wasting any time on celebrations as they were still not yet in a position where they could afford to celebrate wildly.

The game soon resumed with Inter Milan once again kicking off the game just a few minutes after they had done so earlier.

#74th minute…

After Porto’s second goal, they had become a bit bolder in looking for a third that would grant them an equalizer and had adjusted their game plan as such because they couldn’t afford to stay defensive when they were the ones who needed a goal to gain anything from the game.

Surprisingly, the Inter Milan team which people had expected would go on the defensive had instead shown even more ferocity in attacking the Porto team.

They had retained enough caution with their defensive measures, but otherwise, they spent most of their time attempting to get a goal when they were with the ball, and chasing the Porto team with high enthusiasm when they were not in possession of the ball.

This was also similar to the game style that the Porto team was employing as they were doing more of the same, though there was significantly a lot less caution in their steps than when they had just resumed the second half.

Porto was chasing a goal with all they had and thus could no longer afford to stay back and wait for the counterattack.

Luis Diaz had tried to break through from the left wing, but his path had quickly been blocked by his marker and a few other Inter Milan players.

Not wanting to lose the ball from attempting a risky dribble, Luis Diaz immediately passed infield to Danilo Perreira and the Inter Milan team immediately reacted by sending players at the Porto man.

With significantly lesser agility than Diaz, Danilo knew that there was no way in hell he could attempt to dribble past three Inter Milan players who were coming at him and he quickly turned back and passed to Telles.

Telles quickly put a stop to the rolling ball by bringing his foot on top of the ball and then sent a pass toward the center where Pepe and Chancel Mbemba waited.

Perhaps due to a miscalculation, Telles put a little too much power on the ball that he meant to pass to Pepe so the ball went a bit out of Pepe’s reach making him think that the pass was intended for Chancel Mbemba while Chancel Mbemba thought that Pepe would receive the pass.

This led to a bout of confusion when the ball rolled past the two of them with neither of them moving to get the ball.

Only after seeing the confused look in each other’s eyes did they realize what was going on and quickly moved to go after the ball, but someone else had been watching and waiting for an opportunity like this.

Lautaro Martinez dashed past Pepe and Chancel Mbemba, quickly beating them for pace with his agility advantage and he soon caught up to the ball and kicked it forward taking it towards Porto’s goal.

{Oh a mistake by the Porto defenders!}

{Will Lautaro Martinez punish them for it!?} Giuseppe’s voice immediately alarmed the Porto fans who had their hands slowly rising to the top of their heads in agony as they wished for Lautaro Martinez to miss as he squared off against Augustin Marchesin after entering the Porto 18-yard box.

Lautaro Martinez disappointed the Porto fans and smoothly curled the ball around Augustin Marchesin with a skillfully taken right-footed shot that sent the ball into the bottom right corner of Porto’s goal.

{GOAL!!!}

{We expected a goal at one end but they’ve gone and scored at the other end!}

{Inter was gifted a chance and they have taken it graciously!}

{They have four! And Porto are once again pegged back just when everyone thought they would get an equalizer!}

{This time, Porto’s defenders have nowhere to hide!} Giuseppe’s excited voice once again slammed into the microphone and was broadcast to the world.

{What were the defenders doing there!? To gift such an opportunity to their opponent!}

{Such mistakes must be avoided on the big stages like this but it seems that nothing is going well for Porto today}

{They are once again pegged back and have a two-deficit to make up for if they intend to gain something from this game}

{With time running out, could this be the end of Porto’s Europa League dream!?} Alan added his own burst of commentary, not forgetting to mix in a little bit of his skills as a pundit in his words.

The grim reality of the game slipping away from their hands once again slammed into the Porto players and fans who had made the mistake of regaining their hopes.

Negative emotions of all kinds could be seen on the face of almost every player in Blue and White stripes while every possible positive emotion could be seen on the Blue and Blacks as they celebrated their goal with vigor.

In their homes, the Porto fans looked at their screens with their hearts dropping into the depths of disappointment and sadness.
