A goal from Esgaio today allowed SC Braga to win the ‘classic’ with Vitória SC, 1-0, in a match still marked by expulsions, related to the fifth day of the Portuguese Football League.
The first goal of the right-back in the championship, at 28 minutes, materialized the clear superiority of Carlos Carvalhal’s pupils in the first half, against a more balanced second half, with less quality and with a confusion between players that dictated the expulsions by David de Braga. Carmo e Fransérgio and Jorge Fernandes de Guimarães.
With the fifth win in the last six seasons in Guimarães and the third in a row in this championship, Braga rose to fourth place, with nine points, having overtaken the Guimarães team, seventh, with seven points.
More precise in the pass, the formation trained by Carlos Carvalhal arrived regularly in the Victorian area during the first half, but not always with danger, approaching the goal for the first time in the 15th minute, when Zié Ouattara prevented Paulinho’s header in the background. . of the nets, after crossing Galen.
Vitória, who entered the field with the same ‘eleven’ that defeated Boavista (1-0), in the previous round, was slow and not very creative in the offensive construction and only in spaces did he reach the last third of Braga, with Quaresma uninspired, forcing Matheus to pay attention, on a free kick, at 19 minutes.
Braga continued to impose a lot of speed in the game, putting goalkeeper Bruno Varela to the test, in a shot from Paulinho, in the 24th minute, and the goal, which was to be expected, came four minutes later.
After a cross from Galeno on the left, the ball was passed to Esgaio, who with time and space threw it to the other side, with the ball still over Mikel Agu, before touching the nets.
The locals reacted and almost equalized in a deflection by Bruno Duarte towards the side, in the 34th minute, but the ‘Arsenalista’ team was also close to the second goal before the break, in the 42nd, when a shot from Galeno flew over the crossbar to centimeters.
Unable to keep up with the pace presented in the first 45 minutes, the Braga team only accelerated to spaces in the second half, maintaining their presence in the Victorian area while doing so and creating danger in the shots of Iuri Medeiros and Galeno, this one at a millimeter of the post.
Vitória took advantage of the greater space in the midfield to advance more times towards the opposite area, but did so several times without criteria, with many errors in the last pass or when deciding the shot and only threatened the goal of Quaresma. in the 64th minute, in a play in which the winger was well positioned with the goal.
The quality of the game was decreasing and the stops increased until the moment that ‘stained’ the challenge: after a violent tackle by David Carmo on Marcus Edwards, who directed the direct red to central Braga, there was confusion among almost all the players of both teams .
As a result of the disparaging, the Victorian Jorge Fernandes and the ‘arsenalista’ Fransérgio were expelled for aggression.
Until the final whistle of the referee Fábio Veríssimo, the game was played in a disorderly way, with the locals trying to reach the goal with ‘balloons’ for the opposing area and the Braga players, safe in the back, wasting the best opportunity for discounts , when Schettine, isolated, fired for the defense of Bruno Varela.
