Daniel Bragança after Sporting v Famalicão: No explanation | OneFootball

Sporting defeated Famalicão 1-0 this Sunday, February 15th, in a match for the 22nd round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The game was marked by the waste of several opportunities by the Sporting team, and Daniel Bragança, the scorer of the winning goal, could not find reasons for the inefficiency.

"There is no explanation, I think. We had two forwards out (Luis Suárez and Ioannidis), but I think ending up winning is the most important. There are days like this when the ball doesn't go in, and only at the 82nd minute or the 90th does it go in, and the truth is it did. That's three more points," he admitted in an interview with Sport TV.

Despite the missed chances, the 26-year-old athlete believes the result was fair: "We didn't have a very successful first half, but we improved a lot in the second half and created some opportunities that we could have scored. We insisted and managed to score and then hold the result. It ends up being fair," he said.

The midfielder scored the winning goal with a header, something that Daniel Bragança thinks is unprecedented in his career. "First professional header goal? "I think so. In training, I don't remember, maybe one, but as a professional, I think it's the first. I even surprised myself, to be honest," he revealed. This was his second goal of the season.

With this victory – the 27th in 37 matches this season – Rui Borges' team now has 55 points and remains in second place in the Liga Portugal Betclic standings. Porto (59) is in first place. Benfica is third with 52.
