Arouca won for the first time this Saturday in Braga, and immediately with a confident result of 3-0. It is curious that Arukense was led by Daniel Sousa, who has already moved to Braga for the next season. The debut of Rui Duarte, who replaced Arthur Jorge who moved to Botafogo, was clearly bitter.
Arouca’s deadly counter-attack began to create danger through moves from Jason and Mujica, which were saved by Matheus, until the real damage was done in the 29th minute when Serdar’s own goal put the visitors ahead. Five minutes later, the result acquired even clearer contours. Cristo recovered the ball and isolated Mujica, who passed Serdar and Matheus to make it 0–2. In response, even before the break, Braga failed to close the distance only because Arruabarrena won the match against Abel Ruiz.
Braga had more shots in the second half and Bruma tested the quality of the Uruguayan goalkeeper, who also shone in Bansa’s game, before Rafa Mujica scored twice in the 89th minute to seal his side’s surprise triumph.
