Why did it have to be Bragança on that breakaway, he's so slow 1-0 final, we take an advantage away to the 2nd leg, only in April. All the games have been very narrow and tight affairs, if we stay concentrated we can qualify for the final. First 60 minutes we looked lost but the penalty gave us some needed confidence and the slim victory is justified. Now get ready for all sorts of dark arts, I fully expect the ball boys to be prepped and ready to hide all the balls, steal our GK towels, set the AC to maximum, and who knows what else...
The whining and b@#_ing continues from AVB, from Farioli, what a bunch of dirty scumbags. They want Suarez suspended for making a gesture of "being robbed" when they should have had Alberto sent off... Lol
Starting XI vs Braga Rui Silva; Fresneda, Diomande, Gonçalo Inácio, Maxi Araújo; Hjulmand, Morita; Geny Catamo, Trincão, Pote; Luis Suárez
Fair result at half time, clear handball there. But have to be careful in the 2nd half and push for a 3rd
Nice play by Fresneda. He's been playing more centrally when going forward instead of crossing and it seems to suit him better as he's combined well with Geny and Trincão
They like to have the ball for sure, unlike Porto. I think we need a sub, Trincao and Pote are anonymous
Very close to conceding now and on the counter we get a free kick near the box. But we need to get some control on this game
And after all that possession they have very few real chances. However all it takes is one good shot to tie it
3 minutes added time. Looks like we're gonna try and run the clock down as much as we can in the corner
2-2 And I was writing a post saying what a massive 3 points this was, even with a poor second half. Braga are obviously a good side but we sat way too deep and questions need to be asked. We can still bring it to 3 points if Porto loses. But even so, where else are we getting points? Porto goes away to Braga as well but the other games are all very winnable for them while we still have to play Benfica at home.
Also, if Benfica win tomorrow they are only 1 point behind us... If we're not careful we can suddenly be 3rd
