Sporting de Braga dreamed of a spectacular comeback for a few minutes this Thursday in the draw against Fiorentina, but in the end the Italians even pushed de Braga away from the Europa Conference Football League.
After losing 4-0 in the first leg of this play-off to gain access to the round of 16 in Braga, the ‘arsenalistas’ were practically on track for Italy, but a staggering participation in the game, with goals from André Castro, at 17 minutes, and Álvaro Djaló, at 34, made him dream of something more, but three minutes later, Mandragora diminished and practically ended Portugal’s aspirations.
From here, the game slowed down, as befits the transalpine team, with Fiorentina taking control, achieving equality by Saponara, on 58, and turning the result around on 83, by Arthur Cabral, author of a ‘bis’ in Braga.
In a very balanced draw, the qualifications for the round of 16 of the Swiss from Basel should also be highlighted, who, after losing 1-0 at home to Trabzonspor in the first leg, went through and beat the Turks 2-0, as well as for the Belgians from Anderlecht and the Italians from Lazio, who confirmed some favoritism and moved on to the ‘eighth’.
Lech Poznan took advantage of the 0-0 draw in the first leg at home against Norwegian side Bodo / Glimt and today a goal from Ishak in the 63rd minute was enough for the Polish team to progress.
Surprising was Sheriff Tiraspol’s win at home against Serbian Partizan, with the Moldovan team managing to turn the tie in their favour, after losing the first leg 1-0 at home, after leaving Belgrade today with a win of 3- 1.
