Braga defeats Santa Clara with goals after 87 minutes

Azoreans managed to draw after losing by 3-1, but could not avoid the defeat that puts them closer to relegation. Arsenalistas take an important step to secure third place.

Braga won, this Sunday, Santa Clara in a game with seven goals and decided in the last minutes (5-3).

With goals from Ricardo Horta, Niakité and Abel Ruiz, the Braguistas went into the break with two goals ahead (3-1), but were distracted and allowed the Azorean team to recover, with Matheus Babi and Boateng establishing the tie.

The 3-3 appeared in the 85th minute, but it was short-lived, as Bruma, moments later, appeared to give Braga a new advantage, who scored again at 90+4, through Pizzi.

With these three points, Braga now has 74, four more than Sporting, and can secure third place in the next round. On the contrary, Santa Clara maintains the last place and the relegation can also be consummated in the next round.
