00:08This is the home team who get us underway,
00:11albeit they're playing at a foreign venue, if you like.
00:16The Estadio del Verca, about a half an hour up the road.
00:20The goalkeeper, Leoninck, the Brazilian netminder, for Estrella.
00:32And tag off ahead, and Mario Dorjelez-Lekovic, the Serbian captain.
00:39That was a neat ball by Dorjelez to find Fran Navarro, here's Pao Victor.
00:46Gabri, it's a good effort from Gabri, it's a great effort and it's a goal.
00:52What a lightning start for Braga.
00:59Well, Gabri Martinez in from the start tonight,
01:03having come on as a sub against Alberca and done well.
01:07And he has certainly started this match well.
01:10The ball was given away cheaply by Rafa Suarez.
01:13Very good touch from Dorjelez.
01:17Still a lot to do here.
01:20Oh, what about that?
01:21That is class from Gabri Martinez.
01:26Wonderful goal.
01:29And already after only five minutes, Estrella 0, Braga 1.
01:35Gabri with a beauty.
01:43Tick-Naz early ball forward for Pao Victor.
01:47Dojelez, Tick-Naz.
01:49Gabri again, the referee just got in his way there a bit.
01:53Moutinho.
01:58Oh, it's a beautiful ball slid through there to Pao Victor.
02:04Pao Victor with three goals already clearly onside.
02:08That was an important challenge as he looked to strike on goal.
02:25And the goalkeeper punches it away.
02:29And a difficult one again with the way the wind is blowing to...
02:32And a difficult one again.
02:45Again, any long ball forward is going to get carried on the wind there.
02:48And through to the goal.
02:49The Braga goal.
02:54Zvonarek's ball headed away by Fran Navarro.
02:59Here's Gabri.
03:00He's got support inside from Dorjelez.
03:02If you can see him, if you can find him.
03:06Braga, of course, denied a place in the Europa League
03:10when Turence beat Sporting in the Cup Final.
03:14So, Braga in the Conference League this season.
03:17Here's Pao Victor.
03:19Gabri again and took a deflection.
03:27It was actually Max Schultz or Patrick just behind him.
03:36That's loose from Lagerville, very loose.
03:38Antonetti with the shot just past the upright.
03:43Well, Lagerville could be relieved.
03:46Antonetti's first sight on goal, really.
03:54Gomez.
03:55Looks like he's going to put this one in right-footed.
04:00Towards the back post.
04:01It carried through to Carballo.
04:03Couldn't direct the header on target, but that was a lovely ball in from Gomez.
04:08He would have been onside as well.
04:11Very disappointing header.
04:16Bright.
04:17R.A. and B.
04:18He is out at the moment as well.
04:21Others on the casualty list.
04:24Ricardo Horta.
04:26Hopefully he'll be back soon.
04:27Here's Gabri again.
04:29Almost a carbon cost.
04:30Cannot let him cut in like that on his right foot.
04:37Marcus.
04:41That's going to hold up in the winds.
04:42Zvonarek's shot.
04:44And a good block that time from Carballo.
04:47Good challenge from Patrick.
04:49Here's Victor.
04:54Moutinho.
04:56It's a good effort from Moutinho.
04:58He was on target.
04:59And now it's Douai.
05:02Marcus.
05:03Douai had continued his run.
05:06Stoica with the effort.
05:07Does find the equaliser.
05:10That's a smashing goal.
05:13His second of the season.
05:15And a vital one in this game.
05:21Mestrila back on level terms.
05:25And it's Janusz Stoica from Douai's cross.
05:35That is.
05:38They haven't really threatened the Braga goal.
05:42In any serious way.
05:47In this first half.
05:51Until then.
05:54Great finish from Stoica.
06:01Goalkeeper just going the other way.
06:04And supporting.
06:14Well the half-time whistle sounds.
06:16And somewhat surprisingly.
06:19The sides go in.
06:20All square.
06:21After Gavri gave Braga a fifth-minute lead.
06:25And Braga.
06:31Straight away.
06:33Moutinho.
06:35Looks forward.
06:36Goes back in the end to Lagerbilt.
06:38Here's Thichnaz.
06:40Both league games between these sides.
06:43Last season finished all square.
06:53And Serra with the header away.
06:55Picked up by Gomez.
07:03And Serra with the header away.
07:08Picked up by Gomez.
07:10Cut out though.
07:16Managed to win it back though.
07:17And Zvonarek comes away with the ball.
07:19There's a real confidence about Estrella at the moment.
07:22Markers to cross with the outside of the boot.
07:24And the header is in!
07:26It's Stoica again!
07:30And Estrella lead.
07:33It's been coming!
07:39And the home crowd celebrate a wonderful goal.
07:42What about that for a cross from Aberdeenmark?
07:48There's another sloppy pass from Thichnaz giving possession away.
07:54You can see Stoica pointing to where he wanted to play.
07:57What a cross!
07:59That's as good a cross on a header as you'll see all week.
08:04Brilliant ball from Markers.
08:06Great header Stoica.
08:08And Estrella lead by two goals to one.
08:19That's a wonderful replay.
08:21Janusz Stoica, his second of the game.
08:24Braga with a lot of work to do here.
08:26Braga!
08:28Estrella and Manuela!
08:31Braga!
08:33Estrella and Manuela!
08:35Braga!
08:37Braga!
08:37Estrella are really playing nice stuff here in this second half.
08:42It's a real swagger about their play.
08:44Markers onto his left foot!
08:46Forces a good save from the keeper.
08:48Oh, Bernardo had to react...
08:58Well, 3-1.
09:00Dispossessed.
09:01Serra.
09:02Markers in acres of space here.
09:06And the goalkeeper makes the save again to deny everyone Markers.
09:10He knows.
09:13They're probing for an opening here, Braga.
09:15Can they get an equaliser?
09:17For Travassos.
09:21Edge of the area.
09:31Suarez curling one in.
09:38And there is Bené getting in behind.
09:40Benito as they call him.
09:42And the shot is off target.
09:45Changes.
09:50There's Moutinho.
09:51Moutinho.
09:54Moutinho.
09:55Managed to get the pass away.
09:57Here's Silva.
09:59That's well defended by Suarez.
10:01He had to get the head to the ball there, he did.
10:06Moutinho.
10:10Travassos didn't catch it.
10:20There's Travassos now.
10:22Wind.
10:24Silva.
10:25The shot from Silva is on target.
10:27Saved by Link.
10:33Wasn't a bad snapshot, but it was straight at the goalkeeper.
10:37He covered the situation with that interception.
10:40Oh, mistake.
10:41A chance for number three.
10:43Moutinho.
10:44Just took a little bit too much out of it.
10:46Still has it, Moutinho.
10:50Oh, it's a good header away.
10:58Head back in, though.
11:01Jordan, again, an important header from him, the Spaniard.
11:08And here goes Benito.
11:15Oh, it's a good effort and forces a very good save from Bernardo.
11:19Night for them.
11:23And a fingertip save from Bernardo.
11:25Oh, that's a wonderful save.
11:35Gomez got his head to it, but it's miles wide.
11:38And that's going to be the last action.
11:44Frustrating night for Braga as the final whistle sounds.
11:49And it's three points for Estrella, who move above Braga in the table.
11:54On to nine points.
11:55The first loss of the league campaign for Carlos Bissens-Braga.
12:02We'll see you next time.
12:04Bye.
12:04Bye.
12:07Bye.
12:10Bye.
12:10Bye.
