Gabriel Brás named best young player in the Second League | OneFootball

The Players’ Union has chosen Gabriel Brás as the Best Young Player of the Second League for January, a month in which the 21-year-old central defender took part in five matches for FC Porto B, achieving three victories and one draw.

During this period, the “blue and white B team” defeated Sporting B (2-1), FC Vizela (1-0), and SC Farense (2-3), drew in Seixal against Benfica B (1-1), and were defeated in Santa Maria da Feira (2-1). Gabriel Brás played the full 90 minutes in central defense in every match and scored Porto’s only goal in Seixal.

In the vote organized by the Players’ Union, Gabriel Brás received 14.18% of the votes, surpassing teammate André Oliveira (11.48%) and Benfica player Daniel Banjaqui (11.28%).

The ten athletes born after June 1, 2002 with the highest average scores for the month were put to the vote, and the winner was decided by weighting the scores from the newspaper Record (60%), the vote on the Players’ Union website (20%), and the choices of a committee of former players appointed by the Union (20%).

FC Porto B occupies sixth place in the Second League table—just two points from fourth—and Gabriel Brás, one of the team captains, has started in 19 of the 21 rounds played so far.
