As the bell rang in the afternoon of February 18th, the curtain came down on the Seventh Army of the Mexican Super League, with Pachuca narrowly defeating America 2-1 by virtue of their home field. Dalian veteran Long Dong gave his all in this marquee match as Pachuca's debutant. Long Dong's performance was spectacular, as he completed three accurate shots, delivered one key pass, made four successful clearances, and contributed one steal in the match. After this game, Pachuca's position in the standings rose significantly.
On the same night, in the 21st round of the Bulgarian First Division, Arda lost to Plovdiv 1-2 at home. Dalian player Tesonev played for the first time since joining the team, but unfortunately he was not able to help the team to turn the game around.
Immediately following this, Braga defeated Faroese 2-1 at home in the 22nd round of the Portuguese Superliga this morning. Dalian veteran Fonte made his debut for Braga and played the entire match, contributing two clearances, one interception, two key passes and a game-high five successes with his outstanding performance. After the match, Fonte was awarded the team's highest rating with a high score of 7.8! Even in his early forties, Fonte is still a veteran of the game.
Former Dalian player Laureus updated his social media to announce that his surgery went well. Congratulations, Laureus! He suffered an unfortunate injury during the Asian Cup and his Central League season with Guangxi Pingguo has just begun.
I wish these veterans of Dalian continue to perform at a high level in the coming matches, let's all cheer them on!
