Benfica, whose midfield commander returned, performed better and better on the court, and Udinese was suppressed for a while.

In the 71st minute of the game, Enzo Perez scored the ball in the middle, Salvio sent a pass from the right, and Rodrigo scored twice.

2:2, Benfica equalized the score!

The Benfica fans at the Stadium of Light were extremely excited, as they seemed to have seen the team's comeback.

Bruno's face also became serious, and he began to think about how to change the current passive situation. It would not be fun if Benfica really overturned the situation.

The suppressed Udinese quickly gave the opponent a free kick in front of the penalty area.

The referee pushed away and signaled that Benfica could take a free kick.

The Brazilian center back maintains a very reasonable distance from Bruno, which can not only prevent Bruno from easily breaking through, but also quickly pounce on Bruno when he is about to shoot.

After this free kick, Udinese got an offensive opportunity.

It's so fast!

………………

At this time, Cancelo passed the ball to Mahrez again, and Mahrez broke through easily against Siquiera. In the end, he shot a shot from a small angle, but unfortunately he hit the football directly on the side netting.

When the football passed by Louison, he realized that Bruno was shooting, not passing.

Mahrez ran to Bruno and whispered: "I say Bruno, if there is a chance to counterattack later, pass the ball to me. You must pass the ball to me. Their No. 16 is easy to deal with, so don't take advantage of it." What a pity!”

A shot that came without warning. Not only did Louison not react, but even goalkeeper Arthur didn't expect it.

When Rodrigo dribbled away Kante and prepared to dribble laterally, Bruno caught him in his path. He and the chasing Kante caught Rodrigo in tandem. In the middle, Kanter is responsible for interference, and Bruno sees the right opportunity to stretch his foot to steal the ball!

After he intercepted the ball, Rodrigo reacted quickly and immediately got involved, preventing Bruno from letting the ball pass easily.

"Bruno rushed in with the ball, and then... this is... what is this?" Bruno's kick was so unexpected that even the commentator did not react. After the football entered the goal, he shouted, "Oh! The ball has gone in." Goal! The third goal for Udinese!"

However, this is not what Arthur is thinking about at the moment, because he has become the unlucky goalkeeper who has to pick up the ball from the goal three times in a game.

Now, Bruno has scored his 11th goal in the Europa League this season, and the Red Bulls have been eliminated. Bruno may even win the Europa League Golden Boot this season.

………………

The football was lying in front of his head.

………………

Want to advance? Then score three goals in less than twenty minutes of the game!

At this moment, Bruno suddenly shot with his left foot!

A terrifying striker who has scored 26 goals in all competitions this season, ranking second on the Serie A scorer list and second on the Europa League scorer list!

Yes, Bruno has become the top scorer in the Europa League this season. Before today, he had scored 10 goals in 12 Europa League games, second only to Red Bull Salzburg striker Honasan Soriano, who scored 12 goals.

However, Jesus' views were not consistent with those of the English commentators. He considered that Siquiela had good physical fitness and high fighting spirit, which were needed when the team was lagging behind, so he did not replace Siquiela. The thought of pulling.

As a central defender of Benfica, the 33-year-old Brazilian veteran is also afraid of Bruno's pass. He does not want to be the backdrop for Bruno's pass, so after hearing Arthur's words, he glanced subconsciously. Look to your side and there's Di Natale there.

Compared to before, the Stadium of Light was quiet again.

Perez hesitated for a moment, then pointed to Bruno and asked defender Luison to defend, while he pounced on McSuuel.

Bruno's two miraculous passes in the first half made all Benfica players understand one thing, that is, Bruno's passing is the most powerful.

Instead of passing the football to him, Bruno passed it to right back Cancelo who came in from behind.

Mahrez, a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, was not deterred by the defense of two people. He raised his hand to signal Bruno to pass the ball to him.

Udinese fans were not upset when Mahrez failed to score. On the contrary, they were optimistic.

………………

No one expected that Bruno would shoot inward immediately after making a breakthrough, so when Bruno suddenly shot, neither Louison, who was guarding him, nor Arthur, who was responsible for guarding the goal, reacted.

Bruno, who passed the ball to McSuel, did not stop his running. He continued to run forward.

Bruno, who passed Gomez, continued to dribble until Enzo Perez, who came on the bench, rushed up.

The football flew into the goal from above Arthur's head, and Arthur didn't react until the football entered the goal.

His body fell back and fell into the goal along with the football.

Cancelo caught the ball and led forward, attracting Perez's attention. He left Mahrez to defend Cancelo. The only defensive player Mahrez faced was Ciquiera.

Gomez missed the kick and lost his balance on the slippery turf. Bruno easily started to accelerate and bypassed Gomez.

He wasn't knocked down by the football, but he was definitely knocked down by Bruno's goal because the hope that sustained him was shattered.

Although Benfica still needs to score two goals if they want to make a comeback, once they score another goal and equalize the total score, Benfica, who will be full of morale, will be very difficult to deal with.

Only Bruno was a little dissatisfied - he felt that if Mahrez was calmer, the goal could actually be scored.

Bruno also returned to form a wall near the penalty area. Now his height has been fixed at 1.85 meters, which is considered relatively tall in Udinese's formation.

………………

McSuell did not dribble the ball, nor did he take a direct long shot. Although when he received the ball, Benfica goalkeeper Arthur was highly nervous and prepared to save his long shot.

Because of the rain, when Perez took a direct free kick, his supporting foot slipped and he lost his balance. The ball flew high over the crossbar. The Udinese fans suddenly let out a burst of vengeful laughter.

"Don't forget to mark other people! Watch out for his passes!" Benfica goalkeeper Arthur shouted.

Bruno used his toe to poke the football to Kanter who was right next to him. Rodrigo turned around to grab Kanter, and Kanter passed the football back to Bruno who had already run in front.

Now Benfica has equalized the score, and Udinese is only one goal ahead on the total score.

At that moment, he had forgotten that in addition to being a top passer, Bruno was also an extremely efficient shooter!

Bruno nodded.

But when he sees Bruno holding the ball, he always glances at other Udinese players.

So Udinese must score goals and keep scoring goals!

With about 20 minutes left in the game, Udinese must maintain the point difference at 2 goals to be safer.

Only in one corner of the stadium, two thousand Udinese fans cheered.

It was now the 78th minute of the game, plus injury time, there were still fifteen or six minutes before the end of the game, but he felt that the possibility of advancing to the semi-finals had been ended!

Bruno's goal came so suddenly that after he scored, the Benfica fans in the stands were caught off guard and froze in place, neither booing nor cheering for Benfica.

This is too obvious...

He knows that Bruno is the playmaker of Udinese and that many goals are planned by him. Coupled with Bruno's two miraculous passes in the first half, when he saw Bruno attacking with the ball, he never thought about Bruno shooting.

He thought that he could stop Bruno first and then wait for his teammates to come up and surround him.

Obviously Benfica also knew that Siquiela could not guard Mahrez alone, so they sent an extra person to let Enzo Perez, who had just come on as a substitute, to cooperate with the defense.

He lay on the ground, staring blankly at the sky, letting the cold raindrops hit his face.

Bruno did not stop. He moved the football to the left, as if he was going to break through from there. Louison immediately moved to block Bruno's inside.

Bruno distributed the football before Enzo Perez could get in front of him, and it was McSuuel who received the ball.

"Siquiela has been beaten by Mahrez... If I were Jesus, I would consider replacing him." A Benfica fan said in the stands.

Luison's main goal is to prevent Bruno's long-range shot. He is not ignorant about Bruno. He knows that the Udinese midfield commander's shot is very powerful. He once had a record of scoring long-range shots. Plus it's a rainy day, so it's a great time for long-range shooting.

Arthur is even worse. As a goalkeeper, he should concentrate on preventing the opponent from shooting.

After receiving the ball, Bruno did not raise his head to observe, nor did he raise his foot to pass the ball, or turn around and pass back. He simply chose to lead the way for a breakthrough!

Gomez came up to intercept Bruno's dribbling. Bruno suddenly braked while dribbling the ball at high speed, and then pulled the football in front of him back. As soon as he pulled it back, he knocked the football forward with his other foot.

McSuell passed the ball back to Bruno. After Bruno received the ball, he was facing Louison.

………………

The Benfica goalkeeper didn't make a save, and the football hit the net like a cannonball!

The first thing Bruno looked at was the situation on Mahrez's side.

Behind him are the stands where Udinese fans gather. People there were jumping up and down, cheering for the goal.

Looking at Artur who was so close, they were gloating about his misfortune.
