葡萄牙和刚果，一比一踢平了

Many people love watching football.

I love watching football too.

Today, I want to talk about a football match.

Many people wanted to watch this match.

In this match, there are two teams.

One team is big and strong.

The other team is small.

Everyone knows that strong team.

Many people like that strong team.

Everyone thought: the strong team will win.

Everyone thought: the small team will lose.

Both teams came to play this match.

Both teams wanted to play well.

Lots and lots of people came to watch.

Everyone wanted to watch that strong team play.

There's one player everyone really wanted to see.

This player is very, very famous.

He has played football for many, many years.

Lots and lots of people know him.

And lots and lots of people like him.

Everyone really wanted to watch him play.

Which of the two teams would win?

Everyone wanted to know.

There really were so many people watching.

Okay, now let's watch this match.

Of these two teams, one is Portugal.

The other is Congo.

Portugal is that very famous, strong team.

Congo comes from Africa and is the smaller team.

That player everyone especially wanted to see is on the Portugal team.

His name is C-Ronaldo.

C-Ronaldo plays football extremely well.

He has played for many years and scored a great many goals.

Many people say he is one of the most famous players.

So everyone really wanted to watch him play.

Okay, the match has begun.

Not long after kickoff, Portugal scored a goal.

One to nil — Portugal was ahead.

Portugal's fans were all happy.

Everyone wondered: is Portugal about to win?

But Congo wasn't afraid.

They wanted to score too, and wanted to play well.

Near the end of the first half, Congo scored a goal too.

The scorer was a Congo player, who headed the ball in.

One to one — the two teams were level.

Congo's fans were especially, especially happy.

Because Congo is a small team, and scoring is not easy.

In the second half, Portugal kept wanting to score again.

Time after time they attacked, wanting to win the match.

But Congo defended very well.

Congo's players all dropped back and guarded the goal together.

Portugal tried many times, but just couldn't score.

C-Ronaldo wanted to score too, but didn't.

He tried many times, but the ball just wouldn't go in.

And so the match reached its end.

Still one to one, neither had scored again.

Both teams tried hard, but neither could score again.

In the end, the match finished, one to one.

Each team earned one point.

For Congo, this was a very good result.

To draw with such a strong Portugal is truly remarkable.

Congo's players were all happy.

For Portugal, this result was a bit disappointing.

They had really wanted to win, but only took one point.

C-Ronaldo was a little unhappy too.

Because he had really wanted to win this match.

After the match, many people were talking about it.

Some said Congo played really well and bravely.

Others said C-Ronaldo was a little unlucky today.

And others said Portugal didn't play very smoothly today.

Actually, this is the fun thing about football.

A strong team doesn't always win, and a small team can play very well too.

If a small team defends well, it can take points too.

Alright, that's it for today's football match.

Portugal and Congo drew one to one.

This too was a match to remember.

Thank you for listening — see you next time.
