  • ▸ SC Braga's early accumulation of yellow cards put them on the back foot, allowing Boavista to dominate possession and create scoring opportunities.
  • ▸ The own goal by R. Cannon at 59 minutes gave Boavista a temporary lead but their advantage was short-lived due to several key substitutions made by SC Braga shortly after.
