Gabriel Brás named best young player in the Second League | OneFootball

The Players’ Union has chosen Gabriel Brás as the Best Young Player of the Second League for January, a month in which the 21-year-old central defender took part in five matches for FC Porto B, achieving three wins and one draw.

During this period, the blue and white “B” team defeated Sporting B (2-1), FC Vizela (1-0), and SC Farense (2-3), drew in Seixal against Benfica B (1-1), and were beaten in Santa Maria da Feira (2-1). Gabriel Brás played the full 90 minutes in central defense in every match and scored Porto’s only goal in Seixal.

In the vote organized by the Players’ Union, Gabriel Brás received 14.18% of the votes, surpassing teammate André Oliveira (11.48%) and Benfica’s Daniel Banjaqui (11.28%).

The ten athletes born after June 1, 2002, with the highest average scores for the month were put up for vote, and the winner was decided by weighing the ratings from the newspaper Record (60%), the vote on the Players’ Union website (20%), and the choices of a committee of former players appointed by the Union (20%).

FC Porto B occupies sixth place in the Second League table—two points away from fourth place—and Gabriel Brás, one of the team’s captains, has started in 19 of the 21 rounds played so far.
