Sporting de Braga beat Serbs 4-1 on Tuesday Bačka Topola and close to qualifying for the Champions League, guaranteeing play-off qualification for competition access.
Minho’s team, which won the first match of the 3rd qualifying round to qualify for the Millionaire League at home with a score of 3-0, won again in the second game. All the goals of today’s afternoon meeting were scored in the first half.
Artur Jorge’s team began to build up the rout in the 9th minute through Pizzi. In the 13th minute, Bruma scored the second goal, and Alvaro Djalo increased the lead three minutes later. After the 20th minute, the Libyan “Al-Musrati” closed the score for the “Arsenals”.
Even before the teams retired to the locker room, Montenegrin Marko Rakonjac scored an honorable goal for the hosts, who were unable to close the gap throughout the second half.
Braga will face Panathinaikos, who beat Marseille on penalties against Portugal’s Vitinha.
If they win the playoffs, Sporting Braga will enter the competition for the third time they have not competed since 2012/13 (the first was in 2010/11). Minho’s team will join Porto and Benfica in the group stage of the competition.
