Braga dismantled Estoril 4-1 at the Monumental for the 27th matchday of the Primeira Liga, stayed at -2 from second-placed Pasos Ferreira and continue to challenge for Champions League exit, temporarily escaping +8 from Sporting Lisbon, with the visitors to stay at +6 from the positions that lead to relegation.
The “Arsenalistas” struggled in the first half and were content only with Ruiz’s goal in the 17th minute, but in the replay they reached three more goals with Pizzi in the 70th minute, Medeiros in the 82nd minute with a penalty and Mendes in the 94th minute.
Even though it was difficult, Aruka defeated Maritimo 1-0 at home and remained in the top five, leaving the guests in 16th place and -6 from the previous match.
Famalikao comfortably won 3-1 at the home of Pasos Ferreira and left them in a difficult position.
Portimonense failed to beat indifferent Rio Ave at home in a 2-2 draw and failed to move away from the bottom three.
