Braga, who are currently fourth in the Portuguese Liga, were last week knocked out of the Europa League, followed by a loss to FC Porto, which resulted in manager José Peseiro agreeing to leave the club after six months in charge.

In other matches in Portugal’s second most important competition, Sporting booked a place in the quarter-finals after a 1-0 win at Vitoria de Setúbal. Benfica are also through after a 3-0 defeat of Real Massamá.
