Expert confirms: Braga’s best game this season was against Sporting | OneFootball

Luís Avelãs shared his analysis of the game between Sporting and Braga. The match, held on Sunday, October 5th, ended in a 1-1 draw, corresponding to the eighth round of the Liga Portugal. Although he considers the draw a fair outcome, the commentator argues that luck ended up favoring the team from Minho throughout the match.

“It's true that both teams tried to play forward, in search of the goal and consequently the victory, neither was superior enough to deserve the 3 points, although we already know that football and ‘deserving’ are things that don't always align. Moreover, if the Minho team was lucky to have scored the 1-1 during stoppage time,” he told the Record newspaper.

Then, Luís Avelãs stated that Sporting showed superiority compared to the game against Estoril, being very close to victory after Braga's late goal: “Undoubtedly. The performance was superior, against a higher-level opponent than the Canaries, but without reaching the brilliance already seen this season.”

“And even so, they were not far from celebrating the victory. They just needed to hold on a little longer or have capitalized, for example, on the play that ended with a 'shot' by Alisson over the bar, shortly before the equalizer came,” added the journalist, before concluding with his take on Braga's performance, which he considers to have been the best of this season, domestically.

“Considering what has been seen in the League... without a doubt. The team played ‘eye to eye’, reacted well to the conceded goal, entered very strong in the 2nd half, and always believed they could score. I believe it was the best performance of the season. Domestically, there is no doubt,” concluded Luís Avelãs.
