For the second game in a row, Ricardo Horta was the decider for Sp. Braga. As in the previous round against Gil Vicente, the 28-year-old striker again became the author of the only goal against Casa Pia. A triumph (1-0) that keeps Minho’s team in the title chain. As well as a place with direct access to next season’s Champions League group stage.
In addition, Horta’s superiority is reflected in the numbers. The striker, who was Benfica’s target last summer, started scoring again in the decisive phase of the season. And he is already the fifth player in the League with the highest percentage of influence in the final team: 11 goals scored and six assists. In other words, he was actively involved in 27% of Sp.’s goals. Braga in the championship.
After playing at the Estadio Nacional, Ricardo Horta refused to bring up the subject of the title challenge, in line with the club’s “match by match” communication strategy. But in Braga, the wave of enthusiasm is rising with one of the best seasons in the team’s history.
