Braga Did It

Sporting Braga had to hold their nerves in the last moments of their home win against Academica (2-1), but they got the win they needed to go top of the Portuguese Primeira Liga.

Mossoro opened the scoring in the 36th minute, and Lima made it 2-0 in minute 45. Braga seemed to be rolling towards the win, but Academica had a really good second half. However, all the Coimbra team was able to do, despite the pressure, was to reduce the deficit: David Simao, in minute 62, made it 1-2, with a spectacular long-range shot.

Braga's victory sees them going on top, alone, with 58 points.
Porto trails them, on 57, and Benfica now has 56 in third (which would not guarantee a Champions League presence next year for the only remaining Portuguese team in this year 's CL).
