Benfica loanee scores at 90+1' to deny Braga victory (2-2) | OneFootball

João Veloso was in superb form for Moreirense on the opening matchday of Liga Portugal. The midfielder loaned out by Benfica came on in the second half and, in the 90+1st minute, scored the goal that allowed the Canons to make it 2-2 against Braga.

Braga started better and got the opening goal through Fran Navarro, who made the most of an excellent long pass from Vítor Carvalho and, after a quality first touch, finished with great class. Moreirense’s response came before half-time. Nile John restored parity with a strike from outside the box, after Parsemain laid the ball off to the midfielder with a backheel.

In the second half, the Warriors of Minho once again took control and managed to regain the lead in the 66th minute. Pau Víctor, brought on shortly before by Carlos Vicens, received the ball inside the box and placed his shot, giving André Ferreira no chance.

After coming on in the second half, João Veloso took centre stage in the closing moments and eventually made it 2-2 in the 90+1st minute. The move came from a cross by the midfielder, with the ball heading toward goal. Parsemain still tried to get a touch, but failed to make contact with the ball, which ended up going straight into Braga’s net.

He thus became Moreirense’s great hero, securing a precious point deep into stoppage time. Loaned by Benfica to Moreirense, he could hardly have asked for a better way to begin his new adventure.
