Брага против Гент

Braga beat Gent 2-0 at home in the Conference League on Thursday night, with a goal in the third minute and another in the 76th. Víctor Gómez put the hosts ahead almost straight away, finishing a move that Gorby set up. After that the match settled into a scrappy spell. Three players were booked before the break: Barisic for Gent in the 27th minute, Paskotsi in the 32nd and Tiago Sá in the 40th. Both goalkeepers were kept busy, with Braga's Ricardo Horta among those denied. The second goal came from Martínez, who had been on the pitch for only five minutes after replacing Gabriel Silva. Gómez provided the pass. A VAR check followed, and the 2-0 scoreline stood at full time. There were no red cards and no penalties. It was Braga's answer to the 3-0 defeat at FC Copenhagen in their previous Conference League game, and it came on matchday two of the league phase. Gent leave Portugal without a goal.
