Mexican Diego Lainez’s Sporting Braga debuted this Thursday in the Europa League with a 2-0 win against Malmö from Sweden, a team that did not face the Portuguese much and that, on the contrary, could have received many more goals. The Mexican former Betis player had a somewhat discreet performance and was present on the pitch for 73 minutes.
Those led by Artur Jorge dominated the first part with pleasure and proof of this was the brutal statistics that it gave them a total of 65% possession to the Portuguese club on the Swedes who at the moment only seemed to run after the ball. At minute 17 the party of the “archbishops” seemed to start but the goal was annulled.
The Goals of Sporting Braga
Until minute 30 Sporting Braga was able to get ahead thanks to a goal by central defender Bruno Rodríguez who defined a play that began with a corner kick in which Paulo Oliveira also participated.
In the complementary stage, the dominance of the “Archbishops” would continue, a situation that would generate another goal disallowed by Vítor Oliveira for an illegal position.
Braga’s dominance as mentioned above was worthy of a larger marker, however it was not. At minute 69 a penalty executed by Ricardo Horta placed the final figuresthis after a play that had to be reviewed by the VAR.
