The young winger was a true ‘devil on the loose’ in the Minho team’s attack; Simon Banza and Bruma scored twice and also performed at a great level; Rodrigo Zalazar, the ‘piano carrier’; absolute debut for Nuno Matos
Man of the match: Roger Fernandes
Age only counts on the Citizen Card. On the pitch, he looks like a veteran. But one of those who doesn’t give up on delicious street football. The one that is appearing less and less… The left-footed player combines speed, technique and goal sense, reasons that make him an undisputed member of the Arsenal team. Yesterday, it was just another goal and two assists… he continues to be a devil and promises an (even) tastier end to the season. As tasty as the almonds he distributed to all his colleagues.
The three goals conceded took away some brilliance from the performance of Braga’s last defensive stronghold, namely the Matheus, who could do nothing the three times he went to get the ball from the back of the net. And in the penalty shootout, converted by Pedrão, he even had the merit of guessing the side and touching the ball…
Niakaté was a few holes above its sector partner, since Serdar is linked to the move that tied Portimonense (1-1), when he brought down Hélio Varela in a completely inappropriate move.
João Moutinho, as is his prerogative, stepped firmly on the ground assigned to him, freeing Rodrigo Zalazar for more offensive missions. The Uruguayan international stood out for the masterful pass that offered Roger Fernandes the possibility of putting the Minho warriors back in front of the scoreboard (1-2) and also scored the penalty that led to 1-4.
Mist He was a danger in the corridors and, as a result of his positional intelligence, he also had the opportunity to score a good result… twice as much.
Abel Ruiz worked until he had no more strength and Simon Banza It was the usual killer: two more on the personal account.
Of the substitutes used, honorable mention goes to Nuno Matos, another product of the Braga youth teams that Artur Jorge made his absolute debut in the main echelon of Portuguese football. Another pearl?
