In a high-profile Portugal Cup 5th round match, Benfica successfully counterattacked with a score of 3-2 and became the highlight of the night. However, at the same time, the Coppa Italia became a nightmare night for AC Milan, Roma and Atletico Madrid, with three strong teams all eliminated in the quarter-finals.
Benfica had previously underperformed in the Champions League group stage and could only qualify for the Europa League knockout play-offs. However, in the domestic league, Benfica are in hot form, winning five games in a row. In this Portuguese Cup match, they face Braga, who are fourth in the Portuguese Super League, in a matchup full of passion and uncertainty.
Just eight minutes into the game, Mario accidentally set himself up for an own goal to take the lead for Braga. However, goals from Rafa Silva and Cabral put Benfica on the back burner and put them in the lead. In the second half, Braga's Salazar equalised for his team. But in the 70th minute, Olsnes scored a crucial goal to give Benfica a 3-2 comeback win and advance to the next round.
Meanwhile, the Coppa Italia 1 4 finals became nightmare nightmares for AC Milan, Roma and Atletico Madrid. AC Milan opened the scoring for Milan at home to Atalanta, but two goals from Koopmeiners gave AC Milan a 2-1 defeat and missed out on qualification. After the game, coach Stefano Pioli expressed his displeasure with the referee's penalty award, believing that Miranchuk had not been touched.
Roma also suffered a heavy defeat in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, losing 1-0 away to Lazio. Zaccagni's penalty was the only goal of the game, leaving Roma out of the game. Jose Mourinho's side have been in a slump of late, winning just two of their six games, and the team's recent negative performances have raised questions about Mourinho.
In the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid also took center stage of the night. Atletico led at one point, but lost in extra-time and were eliminated 5-3. Goals from Antonio Rudiger and Dias secured Real Madrid's passage to the final.
On this night, the brutal elimination of the Coppa Italia made the fans sigh. AC Milan, Roma and Atletico Madrid, three once-brilliant teams that have suffered heavy defeats, will have to look for new opportunities and challenges in the league. On the contrary, Benfica's comeback in the Portuguese Cup and Real Madrid's successful promotion were the highlights of the matchday.
The charm of football lies in its inadmissibility. On this night, fans witnessed both Benfica's counterattack and the fragility of strong teams in the cup competition. In the future, AC Milan, Roma and Atletico Madrid will need to regain consistency in the league, while Benfica and Real Madrid will continue to fight for cup glory.
Overall, the night was full of drama and excitement. Fans are looking forward to seeing more surprises and highlights in future matches. The world of football is always full of uncertainties, so let's look forward to the next round of exciting matches.
