リオ・アヴェ vs ブラガ

Braga left Vila do Conde with a 1-0 win over Rio Ave on Sunday, and a single penalty in the second half separated the sides after a flat opening 45 minutes. The first half offered little. Pau Victor forced a save from Van der Gouw, and Ricardo Horta missed a good chance from an Arrey-Mbi cross. At the other end Miguel Patrício made Bernardo Fontes work just before the break, and Blesa threatened for the hosts. The decision came in the 67th minute. After a VAR review, the referee penalised Diogo Bezerra for holding Lagerbielke in the box. Horta took the kick himself and beat Van der Gouw for the only goal. Patrício tested Fontes again later on, and Lagerbielke headed over, but nothing else went in. It is a second straight league win for Braga, who sit eighth on 17 points. Rio Ave have now lost three league games in a row since Vasco Seabra opened with a win over Nacional, and they stay in the bottom three on 7 points.
