Vitoria Guimaraes vs Sporting Braga Match Preview

The Dom Afonso Henriques Stadium will be jam packed for this one. Not only is it a match-up between teams located just 20 kilometers from each other, but hosts Vitoria Guimaraes are enjoying a superb season and are currently occupying second place in the table following their spectacular comeback to beat Sporting in the last round of matches.

Braga have enjoyed the upper hand over the last few years, but chronic inconsistency has blighted their 2010/11 campaign. A leaky defense will also be a worry for Braga coach Domingos Paciencia, against a Guimaraes side that has scored ten goals in its last four games.

Vitoria Guimaraes vs Sporting Braga Match Report

In front of over 25,000 spectators this blood and thunder encounter turned in two minutes just before half time. Braga had taken a 17th-minute lead through Alan, but a fine strike on the edge of the box by Maranhao on 44 minutes leveled the scores.

Alan was then sent off after tussling with Joao Alves and Vitoria Guimaraes eventually made their extra man count as the unfortunate Miguel Garcia turned an Alex cross past his own goalkeeper Felipe to hand the hosts the win.

The three points keep Vitoria in second place in the standings, while Braga slip to a lowly 10th place – a far cry from last season when they were never out of the top two.
