Daniel Bragança settled the contest in the 82nd minute with a glancing header from a corner, as Sporting CP beat Famalicão 1-0.

Arriving at the right side of the six-yard box, Bragança met Trincão's cross after a corner and guided it into the top left (82.). The timing of his run broke a tight marking scheme and finally cracked the visitors' set piece defence.

From there the midfielder kept Leões calm, completing all four of his passes and winning an aerial duel to help manage the closing phases. He also pinched two recoveries as Famalicão pushed on.

He finished with one attempt, one on target, two recoveries and 100% passing from four passes, a compact cameo that underlined why his late movement and tidy distribution mattered once the game tilted Sporting's way.

Leões visit Moreirense next. Famalicão host Casa Pia.
