Tcherno Jamanca seals win for FC Porto against Sp. Braga in youth clash | OneFootball

A goal by the Guinean forward Tcherno Jamanca, already in the second half, confirmed FC Porto's second consecutive victory in the championship qualification phase for youth teams. The Porto team was reduced to 10 players shortly after (69') and, despite Sp. Braga's dominance in the last 20 minutes, they managed to hold on until the final whistle and preserve the narrow lead.

In a match affected by rain, wind, and a heavy pitch, the first half offered few dangerous opportunities and the nets remained untouched. The second half brought more pace: both teams created interesting situations, but the 0-1 came from a set piece in midfield. The Invicta team took advantage of the opponent's momentary distraction, quickly took the free kick, and Tcherno Jamanca resolved it by dribbling past two opponents in the area and successfully shooting (54').

When Sp. Braga was looking for the equalizer, the Dragons had to endure the expulsion of Rodrigo Teixeira, a consequence of two almost consecutive yellow cards (67' and 69'). The defense suffered until the end, but Francisco Mendes was decisive in the more complicated interventions, also taking advantage of some lack of effectiveness from Braga. FC Porto thus remains at the top of the competition, with the same 6 points as Sporting and Benfica.
