Match Report
Braga snatched a dramatic 2-2 draw against Sporting CP with a penalty deep into stoppage time at the Estádio Municipal de Braga, dealing a blow to the Lions' Primeira Liga title charge.
Gonçalo Inácio headed Sporting in front on 22 minutes from a Pedro Gonçalves corner, but Ricardo Horta levelled for the hosts in the 34th. Luis Suárez restored the visitors' lead from the spot just before half-time after a handball by Bright Arrey-Mbi, and Sporting looked set to hold on.
Then came the late twist. With seconds remaining, Horta's shot struck the arm of Inácio, and Rodrigo Zalazar stepped up to coolly convert from twelve yards and rescue a point for Braga.
The result leaves Sporting three points behind leaders Porto in second place — a win would have cut the gap to just one. With Porto facing Benfica next, the Lions will rue two dropped points at the Quarry.
