Tumbangkan Benfica, Braga ditunggu Porto Di Final

BRAGA – Gol tunggal Custodio cukup untuk mengantar Sporting Braga melenggang ke final Europa League, sekaligus menyingkirkan kompatriot Benfica.

Braga memang hanya butuh kemenangan 1-0 setelah takluk 1-2 dari Benfica pada leg pertama semiifinal Europa League pekan lalu. Dengan agregat 2-2, Braga lolos berkat keunggulan gol tandang.

Custodio akhirnya menjadi pahlawan Braga berkat golnya di menit 19 pada leg kedua di Estadio AXA, Jumat (6/5/2011) dini hari WIB.

Tampil di hadapan ribuan pendukung sendiri, Braga mengambil inisiatif menyerang sejak menit awal demi mengejar defisit gol di pertemuan pertama. Lima nyaris membawa tim tuan rumah unggul di menit awal.

Menerima crossing Miguel Garcia, Lima melakukan tembakan ke gawang Benfica. Namun, kiper Roberto tak kesulitan menyelamatkan gawangnya. Berkali-kali Braga menebar teror ke lini belakang tim tamu, namun tak membuahkan hasil.

Hingga akhirnya gelandang Portugal Custodio membuat pendukung tuan rumah bersorak di menit 19. Berawal dari tendangan sudut Hugo Viana, Custodio melakukan lompatan tinggi dan sundulannya berhasil menembus jala Roberto.

Kemenangan 1-0 ini membuat Braga bermain bertahan. Sebaliknya Benfica tak mau menyia-nyiakan kemenangan di pertemuan pertama gantian berbalik menyerang. Usaha Benfica belum menemui sasaran hingga babak pertama usai.

Serangan Benfica memaksa Braga bermain mundur hingga di kotak penalti. Sayang, hingga sepuluh menit pertama di paruh kedua, kiper Braga, Artur, masih tangguh menjaga gawangnya dari kebobolan.

Di 20 menit terakhir, Benfica ngotot mencetak gol demi memastikan satu tiket ke partai puncak. Serangan Fabio Coentrao melakukan serangan balik dan memberikan umpan kepada Cardozo, tapi lagi-lagi Artur menggagalkan peluang Braga.

Hingga wasit meniup peluit akhir kemenangan 1-0 untuk Braga bertahan. Braga akan berhadapan dengan wakil Portugal lainnya, Porto. Meski kalah 2-3 dari Villarreall, Porto tetap berhak menyabet satu tiket final karena di pertemuan pertama menang telak 5-1.

Cani membuka gol perdana The Yellow Submarine di menit 17. Tapi kemudian kembali tertinggal setelah Porto mencetak gol melalui Hulk (40’) dan Falcao (48’). Joan Capdevila (77’) dan Giuseppe Rossi (80’) hanya mampu menyelamatkan Villarreal dari kekalahan, namun gol mereka tak cukup untuk membawa klub ke partai pamungkas.
