SC Braga will not repeat its victory in the Portuguese Cup, which it scored in the final last season, over Benfica (2-0). After being eliminated in the League Cup, Carlos Carvalhal’s team was missed by Vizela, who won 1-0 in the round of 16 meeting.
Even Ricardo Horta was quick to announce the intentions of outsiders, right in the first seconds of the match, but it was Alvaro Pacheco’s team that made the score work: Nuno Moreira pointed to the corner, still far away, and scored a superb goal (9′).
The answer didn’t take long, but Andre Horta and Diogo Leyte contrasted the luminous debut of Pedro Silva, the locals goalkeeper. To help destabilize the arsenal, Abel Ruiz took a very stern approach with Nuno Moreira – in the continuation of the show, Tormina denied Cassiano’s celebs about to risk – and was fired (28).
Despite a short player, the visitors tried to respond in the second half, but neither Andre Horta nor Roger, who were very active, successfully hit the goal. Nuno Moreira was the one who tried to be happy again on two other occasions, with Kiko Bondoso signing another threat.
In closing, Nuno Almeida pulled the red card again to show it to Andre Horta, which left SC Braga with only nine items.
In this way, the Vizelenses qualify for the quarter-finals of the competition for the third time, pending the draw scheduled for next Monday.
