Benfica nemesis warns after tense night at the Luz: Objective met | OneFootball

Pau Victor was one of the main figures in Braga’s draw against Benfica and, at the end of the match, he did not hide his satisfaction with the result earned at the Luz. The Spanish forward scored one of Braga’s goals and highlighted the competitive spirit of the team coached by Carlos Vicens.

"The team grew into the game. We started off waiting a bit for Benfica. Benfica came with a very aggressive game plan, which forced us to play more directly", the Spanish striker began by saying, as he analyzed the way the Minho side approached the match against José Mourinho’s team.

Pau Víctor also made a point of praising Braga’s collective response throughout the game and stressed that the team’s main objective for the season had ultimately been achieved. "The team competes really well and the objective has been achieved, which was to finish in fourth place, to secure that spot. And now it’s time to rest because we have another very important game to finish the season and win the final three points," he said.

The 24-year-old attacker then spoke about the goal he scored right at the start of the second half, at a time when Benfica were trying to control the lead they had taken before the break, as well as Braga’s second goal. "Benfica’s goal was a tough moment for us because we wanted to have a great second half. At halftime, we looked at what we needed to improve and I believe we were going to do better, but the goal obviously forced us to react. We scored a great goal from a good team move, which made it 1-1, and then Gorby scored — he knows how to strike from outside the box. And we ended with the draw. Objective achieved, and now we keep going," concluded the Spanish forward.
