Sporting de Braga can equal FC Porto this Saturday in second place in the I League, on matchday 10. With a win against Felgueiras (League 3), the team from Minho, in third place, interrupted a streak of four games without a win (three losses and one draw), visiting Estoril Praia, eighth, who have gone four games without losing for the I League.
In case of victory, Braga will match FC Porto on time, although it remains in third position, since the Dragons have an advantage in direct confrontation.
The match started in Estoril. In the first minute of the game, Braga is going through difficulties. Nelson Veríssimo’s team is much better with the ball. In minute 9, the Minho won a corner after a shot by Abel Ruiz.
After this dead ball, with a powerful shot, Al Musrati opened the scoring. The ball hit the post after a great save by Dani Figueira. The Estoril keeper was still stretching, but he was no longer able to stop the ball. The arsenalista team is in front.
In the 17th minute, Tiago Santos crosses and Serginho shoots against Paulo Oliveira. Thirteen minutes later, Vitinha scored the second goal with an indefensible shot in the front zone.
A careful save by Matheus prevented Estoril’s first in the 32nd minute. André Narciso whistles for the end of the first part. The teams meet in the locker rooms.
Eleven of Estoril: Dani Figueira; Tiago Santos, Lucas Áfrico, Pedro Álvaro and Joãozinho; Read Siliki and Rosier; Rodrigo Martins, João Carvalho and Serginho; Erison Daniel.
Braga’s eleven: Fabiano, Paulo Oliveira, Tormena and Sequeira; Iuri Medeiros, Castro, Al Musrati and Ricardo Horta; Vitinha and Abel Ruiz.
