Pavlidis converts stoppage time penalty as Benfica rescue point | OneFootball

Match in Five Sentences: Benfica drew 2-2 with Braga, rescuing a point late on. Rafa Silva opened the scoring for the Encarnados in the 46th minute. Braga hit back as Pau Victor headed in (48.) and Jean-Baptiste Gorby later edged them ahead (88.). The Águias dominated territory and chances with 24 attempts, yet still needed a stoppage time intervention to avoid defeat. The Encarnados visit Estoril next, while Braga host Estrela Amadora.

Player of the Match: Andreas Schjelderup drove the Águias on with eight successful dribbles, 12 possessions won and, crucially, won the late penalty that secured the draw.

Stat of the Match: Lukas Hornicek produced six saves, repeatedly keeping Braga in front under sustained pressure.

Three Things We Learned: The Águias' supply line was strong, with Fredrik Aursnes creating five key passes. Victor Gomez's delivery remains a weapon, his cross setting up Pau Victor's equaliser. Braga were ruthless on limited service, scoring twice from five attempts.
