First win for Braga in this year’s Primeira Liga. Arsenal narrowly beat Boavista’s Do Besa 1-0 in Sunday’s final match of the second round to close the gap to leaders Sporting Lisbon and Porto to -2, leaving the 2001 champions in the Premier League.
The 2011 Europa League finalists were superior in the first half and scored through Roberto Fernandes in the 40th minute, pushed for a replay for some time and simply held on until the end.
A highlight for Guimaraes, who beat Estoril 1-0 at home, making it “2 out of 2” and leaving the visitors without a point in last place.
In first place is Moreirense, which defeated Aruka 3-1 at home and left it without a point in last place.
