Moussa plays in Braga v Feyenoord, Benfica target has night to forget | OneFootball

Braga broke their streak of poor results after recording two draws and a loss in their last three games by defeating Feyenoord 1-0 in the first round of the Europa League, held at Pedreira.

The former Benfica player, Tengsted, started for the Dutch team, while one of Benfica's main targets this summer, Moussa, only came on in the 80th minute, at a time when Feyenoord was entering significant difficulties in the match.

During the first half, Feyenoord made their presence felt at home, and in Braga's stronghold, it was Robin van Persie's team that controlled the game. The first 20 minutes of the match were truly agonizing for Braga fans, who saw the possibility of a 0-1 score flash before their eyes several times.

However, Zalazar and Moutinho were crucial in elevating Braga's game, which gradually gained control, though without creating significant danger for the visitors' goal. The players went into halftime with the score at zero, leaving the second half completely open.

In the second half, Braga continued to seek control of the game and advance into the opponent's territory, though without clear goal-scoring opportunities. Finally, in the 79th minute, Fran Navarro secured the lead, which remained 1-0 until the final whistle.
