Braga recovered two goals from a disadvantage in the final minutes and imposed a painful draw on FC Porto. More controversial, with Jesús Corona expelled
At a time when everything is going well for the Sporting leader, the duel between the most direct pursuers had to draw. The result is cruel for FC Porto, who reached the 87th minute to win 2-0, but could not maintain the advantage when playing with 10 and their legs were not at all fresh. After reducing, Braga believed, he toured the entire Marchesín area and ended up forcing equality, by Gaitán, one of the weapons launched by Carlos Carvalhal for the final assault of the Guerreiros do Minho.
It is indisputable to say that, although the game was played 11 against 11, FC Porto was superior. Very superior. The fatal problem for Porto fans was that Jesús Corona saw two yellow cards, one at five minutes and another at 60, and Sérgio Conceição’s team couldn’t keep up.
Before the red card, except for a header from Abel Ruiz that approached the post, only the dragons created danger. The first goal came from a penalty from Sérgio Oliveira, scored by Artur Soares Dias after seeing the VAR images, and when Taremi made it 2-0, after Corona’s sensational play, it seemed that FC Porto was full to give the best response possible to tie in Jamor. In the middle there were several near-goal plays in the Braga area, but the ineffectiveness of the last matches remained.
The expulsion of the Mexican brought a very different movie to the last half hour. Carvalhal threw the attackers onto the pitch and Conceição responded with more restrained changes, which should be considered normal for those playing with less than one. Braga threatened 1-2 and when the goal came, in a shot by Fransérgio that Marchesín released, it was felt that Minho’s faith could bear fruit in the final moments. This happened in 90 + 5, in a play in which the Porto defender, already reinforced by Diogo Leite, could not get the ball out until it reached Gaitán’s feet.
Then, in an impressive ending, the theatrical blow was to hit the other goal, but Marega, with the goal at his mercy, fired at Matheus’ defense.
Positive
While they had strength, Uribe and Sérgio Oliveira gave cards to the midfield. Corona shone on the 0-2 play and Taremi concluded. The last point of Braga is diabolical. Piazon and Gaitán made the difference.
Negative
Tormena was linked to Porto’s goals and Raúl Silva felt many problems playing the left defense. The Porto defender was doing well, but he blew the paint in the final minutes.
Referee
The two movements Corona saw yellows into are divided and debatable. In the first, the Mexican was trampled by Raúl Silva. In the penalty shootout, Tormena put his arms around Marega.
