Estrela Amadora and Braga shared a 3-3 thriller at Estádio José Gomes, with Braga staying fifth and Estrela 10th in Liga Portugal after the visitors' two-goal cushion vanished in a breathless second half.

In the 12th minute, João Moutinho converted from the spot. VAR had confirmed the penalty after Vítor Carvalho was fouled. Kikas levelled with a low drive (16.).

Lukas Hornicek preserved a point late on, saving Alisson Souza's strike in the second minute of second half stoppage time.

Braga controlled long spells, registering six shots on target from 10 attempts and 58% possession. Estrela produced 11 attempts and found three different scorers.
