Braga went on to the third qualifying round in the Europa League after a 1-0 success in the return leg against Levski. The Portuguese scored in the 104th minute through reserve Francisco Navarro. The Spanish striker struck the ball acrobatically with a backheel after an assist from youngster Sandro Vidigal. Before that, the teams had failed to score for a full 180 minutes.

It was a familiar situation for the Blues, who experienced exactly the same thing against Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the transitional three weeks. Then the teams exchanged one goal in overtime, and then Levski won after a penalty shootout. The case could be partially repeated in Braga, when before two minutes had elapsed in the second overtime a goal by reserve Rildo was cancelled out due to offside.

After the elimination, Levski will move on to the third preliminary round of the Conference League. There the Blues will play Sabah in the next two weeks.

After the break Braga had a slight advantage in ball control and created almost 3 times more chances - 8:3, but the shots were surprisingly 0:2. In the final quarter of an hour, a situation unfolded in front of Sangare, just metres from the goal line, but he never managed to push the ball into Hornicek's goal with any strength. |BГNES

The first half was very dramatic in front of both goals. Already in the 4th minute, Niakate headed the ball after playing from a corner kick, but the crossbar saved Vucov. 7 minutes later it was Paulo Oliveira's hand in the penalty area, which left serious doubts whether it should have been a penalty in favour of the home side.
