In their last match they recorded a 4-0 shutout win against Santa Clara. Ricardo Horta scored the first goal for Sporting Braga in the 15th minute, then Iuri Medeiros added another in the 16th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Santa Clara couldn’t manage to score, and Sporting Braga took the shutout win. Sporting Braga should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 21 points in their last 10 matches, while 10th placed Boavista is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Gil Vicente. Yusupha Njie struck first for Boavista in the 31st minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Gil Vicente couldn’t muster any offence and Boavista ran away with the shutout win. Boavista is looking for direction having 4 win and 4 losses in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 2 draws each.
