Gustav Nelson, striker of St. Gilwes, a 25-year-old Swede, came off the bench in the 83rd and equalized in the 86th and scored the winning goal for his team at 90+5. So the Belgians had the gold on the bench, and yesterday, in Braga, they achieved their third win in the group stage. This is from the Europa League, over FC Braga who, it must be said, was superior in many stages of the match, they were winning 1-0, they could have made it 2-0 (Abel Ruiz missed Maurice), and they ended up receiving their first defeat In the competition this season.
After the first half without great reasons for interest – the exception was a shot from Braga Rasic in the 37th minute, which tested the attention of Maurice, and another for Nigerian striker Boniface from Saint John. Gelois, who was brought back off the crossbar by Mateus’ goal… -, the second half was more lively, as Braga immediately gave a sign of his desire to win the match.
And if Vitinha left a warning in the 46th minute, Abel Ruiz scored even in the 49th minute, and when you thought Minho would pack a quiet performance, behold, the Belgians always showed signs of life and never gave up in the match.
Substitutions by Karel Gerats proved essential, because if Nelson was the man to score, Adringa was also directly involved in both moves.
With this defeat, Braga club lost the leadership of the group to the Belgians.
