00:00right at the last moment so the ceremonial and protest kickoff has been
00:05taken the referee has to remind Caldas that the game is already underway and
00:10although they rather graciously take the ball back to the center circle to get
00:14things started the game is already going Braga allowed that to be the opening 45
00:22seconds or so but that is a sign of how strongly Caldas feel about what has gone
00:28on here in Portugal in the last day or so
00:34there were all kinds of complications with this obviously kickoff delayed
00:39somewhat from the initial local time start it should have been about 15
00:44minutes ago a little over that that the game got underway it's Caldas you might
00:48have the first chance they'll earn themselves a corner 90 seconds into this
00:51contest if you're wondering why things look a little different to what you may
00:56expect
01:01there's a bit of an atmosphere in the air
01:03and Caldas use it to their advantage and can Braga use the fact that Caldas are not on their home turf
01:09this title in the hopes of an upset
01:14there's a bit of a flare up over between the dugouts
01:18you have seen the tackles flying in in the opening stages of this cup tie and now the referee's got the first big decision to make
01:26it looks non-flussed with the events
01:30a little bit of afters between Mascardo and Pipo
01:36Pipo who's ended up down on the turf it was a challenge through the legs from Pipo
01:41got the job done against the young Brazilian Mascardo
01:47get a bit of rest
01:52really good account of themselves the first part of this first half
01:56back to Clemenci he'll get it back
01:59Clemenci lifts one into the middle not a bad delivery
02:02shot from the edge of the box is a really good attempt
02:06that flew off the boots of Monsas he had the first shot on target on the night after two minutes
02:13that one was just trickling towards the goalkeeper but the shot just now that was far better
02:20a decent career in the top couple of leagues in Germany played for Schalke
02:28played for St. Pauli as well
02:31actually involved with Eintracht Frankfurt
02:36it's hard work for Braga
02:43has earned the visitors
02:45a dangerous set-piece situation
02:48we haven't seen this for a while it's still common in Portuguese football
02:54maybe more so than it is elsewhere but
02:56Diogo Clemenci is lying down behind the wall
02:59scoops up over the top of the wall instead and there was a good chance
03:04it was Salazar again
03:06he won the free kick
03:08couldn't bury it
03:10from the eventual chance that came his way
03:13seven yards out
03:15just got underneath it
03:17never looked like
03:18steering that one down
03:20they've got this free kick from it anyway
03:23look how many red and white shirts are forward
03:26towards the edge of the box and further
03:30committing plenty of men forward to try and get this
03:35no-ahead goal before half side
03:37the header away
03:38might be the end of the first half
03:40one more chance maybe
03:41as it's back into the box
03:42it's turned behind
03:44the Braga corner
03:45again the safe option
03:46Almeida the keeper
03:49trying to patrol the six-yard box
03:51it's a good delivery whipped in
03:53and glance onwards
03:55through everybody in a way
03:57it should be a corner
03:57instead
03:59it's half time
04:00six minutes
04:02played additionally at the end of the first 45
04:05Braga
04:06with chance after chance from the set pieces
04:09deep into stoppage time
04:11but ultimately Joaquin Almeida
04:13the Caldas keeper wasn't tested too much
04:16despite that late spell of Braga pressure
04:18Caldas nil
04:19Braga nil the half-time score
04:21in this intriguing cup tie
04:22from Campo Manuel Marquez
04:26no breakthrough yet for Braga
04:28still plenty of action to come
04:30on a pitch that is cutting up
04:32referee just in discussions there
04:38with Rodrigo Salazar
04:39who nearly carved out the best chance of the game for Braga
04:42nearly
04:43five-time league cup finalists
04:46and they've got a semi-final
04:47coming up against Bofica in January
04:50the next game
04:53is just after Christmas
04:55on the 28th of December
04:56against Bofica
04:57the coach
05:01Carlos Vicente
05:02had promised
05:04before kick-off tonight
05:05there were no thoughts
05:06about that game
05:07against Bofica
05:08on the 28th of December
05:09just yet
05:09their full focus
05:10is on Caldas right now
05:12Caldas showed us
05:14in the first 45 minutes
05:15exactly why
05:16Braga have to stick
05:18to this task
05:19and remain focused
05:19for the whole
05:21of this knockout contest
05:23and it's the Portuguese Cup
05:25anything can happen
05:26Caldas looking for the magic
05:29looking for the upset
05:30their job made harder
05:32by the move away
05:33from Campo da Mata
05:35in the last 24 hours
05:36they said
05:38they might not turn up
05:39they said
05:40they might protest
05:40and forfeit this game
05:43and they decided
05:44in the air
05:44ultimately
05:45it's a little bit
05:46of a cheap corner
05:47now there's
05:49three black shirts
05:51around it
05:52last touch
05:54I think
05:55came off
05:55Pippo
05:55just a heavy touch
05:59across the byline
06:02out it goes
06:03for the Braga corner
06:05again
06:07plenty of red shirts
06:08on the edge
06:09of the six yard box
06:10Braga
06:11won that breakthrough goal
06:12from somewhere
06:13from anywhere
06:13it's a header down
06:14towards the post
06:15and it's knocked in
06:16they do have
06:18the breakthrough goal
06:19it's tough
06:22on Caldas
06:23but it's not even
06:24five minutes
06:25into the second
06:25and Braga
06:26really with their
06:27first foray forwards
06:28on the second period
06:30have found the way
06:31through
06:32the knockdown
06:34from Moscato
06:34and the close range
06:36finish from
06:37Grannavago
06:37deadlock broken
06:40Braga in front
06:42nothing
06:52Joao de Almeida
06:53could really
06:54have done about it
06:55he was moving over
06:56to a 4-2 victory
06:57over Nacional
06:58in the last round
06:59so corners
06:59are certainly
07:01a tool
07:02in the Braga
07:03Arsenal
07:03and they've shown it
07:04again
07:052-0
07:07in a matter of moments
07:08it's Paolo Oliveira
07:10who got up highest
07:11two minutes
07:17two corners
07:19and Braga
07:20in the hearts
07:20of Caldas
07:21and surely
07:22broken the resistance
07:23it's still early
07:24in the second half
07:25to say that
07:25and after a spirited
07:28first half display
07:28from the 30-year
07:29opposition
07:30it would be
07:32a monumental
07:33comeback
07:34to imagine
07:34that Caldas
07:35can claw this
07:36back against
07:36Braga now
07:37and two of
07:40waiting for it
07:41Moscada was up
07:42there
07:42but it was Oliveira
07:43the defender
07:43who got there
07:44first
07:44hasn't scored in
07:46lead football
07:46Vilic turns
07:49calmly
07:50sends the ball
07:52downfield
07:53the header back
07:53only finds red shirts
07:55though
07:55Braga
07:56getting a second chance
07:57at this
07:58Nogorigo Salazar
07:59into the D
08:00shot from the edge
08:01of the box
08:01in off the post
08:02it's 3-0
08:03and it's brilliant
08:05from Braga
08:05they truly have
08:16found another
08:17gear in this
08:18second half
08:19level pegging
08:19throughout the
08:20first 45 minutes
08:21and Braga
08:23hammer home
08:24their advantage
08:24with a third goal
08:25in quick succession
08:26a blistering spell
08:29three goals
08:31in less than
08:31ten minutes
08:32Mario Dorjelez
08:34curling in off
08:35the post
08:36a lovely low finish
08:38beyond the despairing
08:39dive of Duarte Almeida
08:41the young goalkeeper
08:41beaten for the
08:43third time tonight
08:44it's really tough
08:48on Caldas
08:48the gulfing
08:51clasp between
08:52the two teams
08:53has emerged
08:54clearly now
08:55towards the halfway
08:57line
08:57it's going to fall
08:58here for Carrera
08:59Palmerio
09:00I think it was
09:05Palmerio
09:05one of those
09:08recent introductions
09:09able to send the
09:10ball to the right
09:11and this is what
09:11Caldas can make of it
09:12shot from range
09:14he was always
09:15lifting
09:15just rising
09:17a little bit of
09:19backspin
09:19never looked like
09:22dipping towards
09:23the frame of
09:24Thiago Salazar's
09:25goal
09:25solid challenge
09:28but can't keep
09:29the ball
09:29Braga will
09:30pick it back up
09:31again though
09:31it's just
09:32dragged away
09:33from the boot
09:34of Rui Carrera
09:34Braga seconds
09:41away now
09:41and there is
09:44the full-time
09:45whistle
09:45Braga
09:47move on
09:48to the quarter
09:49finals of the
09:49Portuguese Cup

09:51off Caldas
09:51in this somewhat
09:53controversial clash
09:54Campo Manuel
09:55Marquez
09:56it is the venue
09:57that's the source
09:59of that controversy
10:00Caldas feeling
10:01hard done by here
10:02they were looking
10:03for an upset
10:04things
