Sp. This Sunday, Braga beat Maritimo 2-1 at home, keeping two points behind Porto (2nd) and extending their lead over Sporting CP (4th) to eight points.
Maritimo entered the game very well and in the 10th minute Vidigal forced Matheus to win. After that, there was a balance, but in the 38th minute, the Madeirans really put themselves in an advantage, at the expense of Riascos. But the answer is Sp. Braga was so effective that even before the break he turned the score over. First, Banza equalized with a cross from Borja, and then, just in time for compensation, when Racic converted a hand-kick on the ball from Val Soares.
In the 2nd half, as was their duty, Maritimo insisted on a draw, but failed to create significant chances, and in the 83rd minute the task became even more complicated when Edgar Costa, who entered the field two minutes earlier, was sent off due to protests (coach José Gomez also saw red).
