Rui Silva rues slip-up against Sporting - Braga, recalls similar match | OneFootball

Rui Silva did not hide his disappointment after Sporting's draw (1-1) at home against Braga. The leonine goalkeeper lamented the result achieved and recalled the last match against the Minho team, where the Bracarenses also tied in the final minutes.

"It's a bit ungrateful to concede a goal at the end. The team started the game very well and even managed to make it 1-0. Last year, curiously, the same thing happened against this opponent. But we have to think about what's coming," pointed out the Portuguese international.

The pupil of Rui Borges denied the idea that there was a ghost hovering in the lions' heads: "The truth is that it was a set-piece play where the referee saw a penalty. It's always a lottery and they ended up being lucky and scoring a point here," explained the goalkeeper.

Rui Silva regrets that Sporting did not manage to reach 2-0: "We have to congratulate Braga, they have an excellent team and they play very well. It was an even game. Unfortunately we were not able to extend the lead and that would have given another comfort to the team. Then it's normal, the wear and tear, we had a game in the middle of the week, just like them, but it's complicated not to have made the 2-0 and killed the game."
