Braga 4-0 Zeleznicar Pancevo - Warriors Advance in the UEFA Conference League qualifiers | OneFootball

Braga secured a spot in the UEFA Conference League third qualifying round after a dominant 4-0 victory over Zeleznicar Pancevo at the Quarry.Defending a 1-0 lead earned in Serbia last week, Carlos Vicens’ side were hardly threatened by a side making their debut in European competitions.Zoran Popovic would be in for a long evening in northern Portugal, coming off his line and punching Gabriel Silva in the head to give away a penalty in the 25th minute. Ricardo Horta stepped up and sent the goalkeeper the wrong way.Braga’s high press resulted in a second goal on the stroke of half-time. João Moutinho won the ball and gave it to Denis Huseinbasic, his pass falling perfectly for Gabriel Silva who sent a sweet first time strike past Popovic.Popovic gave away another penalty in the 62nd minute and it was all self-inflicted, making a meal of a regulation clearance before taking out Fran Navarro. The goalkeeper saved Horta’s penalty and follow-up effort but couldn’t stop Pau Victor who pounced and found the net.The visitors were not done with turning the ball over close to their goal and paid the price in the 85th minute. Popovic saved Diogo Travassos’ effort but failed to clear the danger, steering the ball straight to Navarro who made no mistake.Braga will now take on Belarusian club Dinamo Minsk in the third round, the first leg to be played in Portugal and the second leg to be contested in Bulgaria.
