Match in Five Sentences: Gil Vicente beat Braga 2-1 in Liga Portugal. Ricardo Horta opened the scoring in the 21st minute after meeting Víctor Gómez's cross. After the restart, substitute Gustavo Varela levelled (65.), before Santi Garcia headed in the winner from a Murilo cross (76.). Gil Vicente registered 15 attempts to Braga's 11 and hit the target five times to two. Gil Vicente rise from fifth to fourth and visit Estoril next, while Braga drop from fourth to fifth and host Vitória S.C.
Player of the Match: Santiago Garcia Gonzalez was decisive, creating four chances, supplying the assist for the equaliser and then heading the winner.
Stat of the Match: Braga produced only two shots on target, a drop-off that kept Lucão largely untested.
Three Things We Learned: Gustavo Varela's introduction changed the game, delivering the equaliser after coming on at the break. Murilo's delivery repeatedly asked questions, producing an assist and eight crosses, two of them accurate. Gil Vicente won 73.3% of their tackles, a defensive platform that helped see out the points.
