00:03If Sporting can do it, why can't we? That has to be the mindset for Braga tonight at home and
00:10looking to overturn a two.
00:12There are also alterations in midfield where Gabriel Martinez and Jean-Petis Corby are preferred to João Martinho and Leonardo
00:20Lello.
00:21Julio Romão replaces him, otherwise it's the same team that started the first leg.
00:26If they play as well as they did last week, they'll have every chance.
00:33Referee Nyberg gets us under way.
00:35Braga in their traditional red and white.
00:39Under pressure from Zalazar and should have released it earlier than he did.
00:44Zalazar forcing the error.
00:47Still Rodrigo Zalazar, second time around, Groff makes the save.
01:10The miss is cross, clear by Sissé.
01:16Positive start from the home side, just what the doctor ordered.
01:24Zalazar, the flag stays down for now, Ricardo Orta in the middle, and Braga have a goal.
01:31It's taken them just 11 minutes, but the deficit has been halved.
01:39It is the ideal start for Braga, with captain Ricardo Orta leading the way.
01:48Zalazar was not offside, he was played on by Callum O'Dowder,
01:52and he had the awareness to pick out his skipper at the far post.
01:58Worst possible start for Ferenc Fados, who will now be under huge pressure for the remainder of this game.
02:06Braga strike first, they lead on the night, and have reduced the aggregate deficit to only one goal now.
02:23Aboufani called in possession, and this looks good for Braga.
02:29Rodrigo Zalazar, early cross, was pushed away but pushed into the net by David Grof.
02:38And Florian Grilic has wiped out the two-goal Ferenc Fados advantage.
02:48Barely 15 minutes on the clock.
02:53And Braga have struck twice against the stunned Hungarian champions.
03:04Not good play from Aboufani getting caught there.
03:08Zalazar kept it alive.
03:11And when Grilic's strike came in, you expected Grof to deal with that.
03:18It's poor goalkeeping from the Ferenc Fados man, who lets it slip underneath his body and into the net.
03:27And Ferenc Fados's first leg advantage.
03:34We did say, didn't we, what a dangerous lead 2-0 can be.
03:39Get the first one and all of a sudden the nerves can get the better of you.
03:43And here's Zalazar, beaten away by Grof from Viktor.
03:49Not forthcoming.
03:51Zalazar doing the damage initially.
03:55To Alta.
03:58Ricciardo Alta's shot turned away by Grof.
04:05Magical save, really.
04:13To Victor Gomez.
04:16Braga though, first to the loose ball.
04:18And rather Grilic was.
04:21Opportunity for Martinez.
04:23Goalkeeper advancing and he can't stop it.
04:26And Braga have a third goal inside 34 minutes.
04:32Braga have completely turned this tie on its head inside the first half.
04:42Gabriel Martinez with the third goal.
04:47Ferenc Varos have simply wilted in the Portuguese sunshine. Now was he onside? He was, he's being
04:56played on by Raymarkers over on the far side and it was chucked away nicely by Martinez.
05:05Nothing Groffingold could do and Braga lead by 3-0 on the night and by three goals to two on
05:16aggregate.
05:19It has been a quite sensational first half for Carlos Vecins and Braga.
05:25A 2-0 first leg deficit turned around inside 34 minutes ahead of what should be another intense 45 minutes.
05:37It's do or die for Ferenc Varos.
05:42Victor Gomez with a neat little touch. Now it's Victor trying to make room for himself.
05:53Orta's shot and that may well settle it.
06:01Orta's second of the night, Braga's fourth.
06:06And is that the ticket to the Europa League quarter-finals?
06:11The captain leading by example once again.
06:18Braga's record goal scorer in European competition has played a key role tonight.
06:25A crisp strike from 18 yards that left goalkeeper Groff a spectator.
06:33And I don't think there will be any coming back from that for Ferenc.
06:37against the champions of Hungary.
06:39And it has made things look very, very straightforward.
06:47Vecins leaning into Youssef.
06:49Play is allowed to continue.
06:50And here is Bamadele Youssef.
06:52Is there room for a shot?
06:53There was, but it was a comfortable save for Lukasz Hornicek.
06:57His first of the night.
07:07Romel, nice turn.
07:12Youssef.
07:13Kovacevic and Youssef in the middle.
07:16So too was Aryan B.
07:17Oh, great effort from Romel.
07:20And a fine save from Hornicek.
07:23It's Julio Romel striking it first time and catching it so well.
07:32Comfortably dealt with by Hornicek.
07:35I could be able to scoop it into the pass of Makrekis.
07:42Here's Gruber.
07:46Youssef helped it on towards O'Dowder.
07:49Appeals for handball.
07:50Kanichovsky's shot.
07:52We dealt with once more by Hornicek.
07:55Kanichovsky getting in the penalty area tonight.
08:00What a 24 hours it has been.
08:03For comebacks from Portuguese clubs.
08:07Sporting did it last night in the Champions League.
08:09Braga.
08:10This evening in the Europa League.
08:13In the Europa League.ему
08:15Milwaukee
08:16could be down there and the
08:17conversation of hail. For
08:18better.ار
