Its upward trajectory was confirmed by Guimaraes. His team Alvaro Pacheco beat 1-0 Rio Ave and caught, having matches longer, her Braga in 4th place in the Primeira Liga standings.
The only goal of the match came with a penalty in the 63rd minute, with Thiago Silva to score from the penalty spot to give his side the three points, with the visitors staying in the relegation zone and without a win since November 5.
In the other game of the day, Vizela and Moreirense were stuck at 0-0. Thanks to this point, the hosts are temporarily out of the danger zone, level with Rio Ave, while the visitors are -3 from the top four.
