SC receives Estoril Praia this Saturday and tries to take advantage of Benfica’s defeat against FC Porto to get closer to the leader, in the 27th round of the Portuguese Football League, and at the same time get closer to the dragons.
The first big moment of danger even smiled at the Canarinhos, who saw Matheus deny the goal with his left foot. In the same play, in the other goal and after finishing off the post, Abel Ruiz appeared in the center of the penalty area, responding to a cross from the left wing. The Spaniard shot into the back of the net, but it was offside.
Well, it wasn’t worth it the first time, it was worth it the second time. Another cross, this time tense and low from the left -after Bruma took out a defender from the front- and Ruiz appeared on the goal ball to stop.
XI SC Braga: Matheus, Víctor Gómez, Tormena, Niakaté, Borja, Al Musrati, André Horta, Medeiros, Bruma, Ricardo Horta and Abel Ruiz
Once do Estoril Beach: Dani Figueira, Delos, Pedro Álvaro, Vital, Tiago Araújo, Ndiaye, João Marques, Carlos Eduardo, Geraldes, Tiago Gouveia, Marqués
If they win, Braga will recover two points from FC Porto and reduce the deficit against Benfica to nine.
