Braga receives, this Thursday, the Belgians from Saint-Gilloise in a scoring match for the third day of the group stage of the Europa League. Braga won against Malmö and Union Berlin and is looking for its third victory in three games in the competition.
The start of the game is a bit bumpy, with several turnovers on both sides. The first shot came in the ninth minute, with Abel Ruíz, down the left, trying to make an arc that went over the top.
On the next play, a careless play in the area by Braga and Van der Heyden shoots towards the back of the goal, but the play is invalidated by the referee Stéphanie Frappart due to the hand of the Belgian player.
In the 24th minute, a good move from the right of the Belgian attack and Nieuwkoop, in the heart of the area, beat Matheus, but the move was also annulled, for offside at the start of the move.
Braga’s eleven: Matheus, Fabiano, Paulo Oliveira, Tormena and Sequeira; André Horta, Racic, Castro and Ricardo Horta; Abel Ruiz and Vitinha
Eleven from Saint-Gilloise: Moris, Nieuwkoop, Kandouss, Burgess, and Van Der Heyden; Amana, Lynen, and Lapoussin; Vanzeir, Bonifacio and Teuma
