Watch the Game Highlights from Sporting Braga vs. Real Betis, 04/08/2026
Transcript
00:01Out they come then, two of the clubs who proceeded automatically to the round of 16 after more than respectable
00:08league phases.
00:09They prepare to come together here in this competition to cope with his absence.
00:14It looks like Gabriel Martinez will be asked to play a more advanced road.
00:17Manuel Pellegrini does spring a bit of a surprise in that despite eight goal involvements in eight Europa League games
00:23so far.
00:26So for the first time in UEFA competition of any sorts, these two near neighbours from Portugal and Spain come
00:34together.
00:35Pretty much in the calendar year of 2026, they'll be hoping that continues here.
00:40Oh, decision there as it came up on what looked like an arm.
00:45Gabriel Martinez twisting, turning and it could open up here.
00:49Didn't quite catch it as well as he might have done.
00:54Just seemed to lose his bearings there, didn't he, Ruibal?
01:04And Ricardo Horta, who's already the young midfielder, Diego Rodriguez, 20 years old, through the ranks here at this club,
01:11will take the game's first corner.
01:14Plenty forward from the back.
01:15And that's a scrubber in!
01:19And touch time at the near post by Florian Krilic.
01:37They couldn't have designed a better start at the home side.
01:43And what a fine finish that was from the Austrian international.
01:50So...
01:51That his appeal then might have been a foul on Rodriguez, was he manhandled out of the way?
01:56He was certainly cleared out of the way, which opened the door for Florian Krilic.
02:02West Ham during his time in East London.
02:06He'll float that one forward, it's a fine delivery and it's an equaliser!
02:11Within the blink of an eye, Bartrae the captain has put it into the back of the net.
02:16But this one is not going to count, the flag's up.
02:24It's very hard to see who's offside there.
02:27Perhaps not from the initial header, but from the following.
02:30It's carved out a situation of promise for the Spaniards,
02:33who've had precious little to get their teeth into thus far.
02:37See if that can change here.
02:40Bartrae!
02:43From that range, from the Spanish centre-half.
02:52Generated the power and the direction, but denied by the post.
03:05Lot of work to do, he's on his own, Kusho Hernandez.
03:09But support is arriving.
03:12Slides it in here.
03:14But the effort is blocked from Abde Esaldouzouli.
03:19Far by a distance for Real Betis.
03:22Abde the Moroccan got forward well, but the keeper out to make the end.
03:31Good pressure has won it back for Braga, who have got plenty forward here.
03:35Gabri Martinez.
03:41Lager have recovered their composure and their shape.
03:47Ruibal.
03:50Swept in well, and that's a fabulous save by Hornicek.
03:55In front of him, that header from Kusho Hernandez.
04:03He thought he'd found the corner.
04:05But he found the keeper in defiant.
04:14This is excellent work for Real Betis and product needed.
04:19Kusho, it's touched on here to 4-0.
04:22Well, it's on target, but not much more.
04:25This is Abde.
04:30Kusho Hernandez.
04:32Straight down the throats of Hornicek.
04:39Kusho Hernandez.
04:42Abde.
04:45Another one that's comfortably fielded by Hornicek.
04:48Braga away again.
04:50Options to his right and to his left.
04:52To his left is Gabri Martinez.
04:55Ruibal.
04:57Back with Paul Vitor.
05:01Lovely, over the top, Paul Vitor.
05:03Couldn't provide the finish.
05:10He gets Vitor Gomez with that lovely lofted ball over the top to set it up.
05:16It's not quite put it on a plate because there was so much to do.
05:21He felt he should have hit the target, I'm sure, from there.
05:24And he definitely would.
05:26The coach, Carlos Vicente.
05:29The ever-eager Kusho Hernandez.
05:34Well, an entertaining and high-octane first half comes to an end.
05:38Kusho Hernandez through the middle with Abde on the other.
05:45So, Manuel Pellegrini makes that half-time switch.
05:48It's actually...
05:49Vitor Gomez.
05:52Gorby.
05:54Charged to shoot, switch draws the save.
05:58And Paul Lopez to deny Grealish.
06:02Well, here's that Grealish effort.
06:07Tandard followed all the way, was dipping a little bit,
06:09but he made sure, didn't he, Paul Lopez.
06:11And now this Champions League for Rhelbetis.
06:17Kusho Hernandez.
06:19And it has it.
06:20That's a rash challenge, could be an big bother here, Braga.
06:24The referee points to the spot.
06:34So it'll be Cuso-Hanandes from the spot for Real Betis.
06:40Makes no mistake.
06:45Hornacek sent the wrong way.
06:47The scoreline sent to parity.
06:50The travelling 2,000 from the city of Seville celebrates.
07:09That's the moment they were waiting for.
07:15And wasn't it taken well?
07:21Lagabial.
07:24Might just open up here.
07:26Avila.
07:29Anthony.
07:31It's Anthony!
07:33It's wide!
07:37This will tell us exactly how close it was.
07:51Not far away.
07:53And sadly, those on the bench thought that the outcome was going to be different.
07:59Well, there was nothing to celebrate them in terms of results and points in the league phase.
08:04And there's nothing to separate these two after 90 minutes of the first leg here in the quarterfinal.
08:11It's Michael Vogler awesome.
08:13Run!
08:15hornē¾½
08:16entitiesLittle elementos
