Pau Victor Strike Gives Braga Narrow Win at Casa Pia

Sporting Clube de Braga claimed a hard-fought 1–0 victory away to Casa Pia AC on Matchday 26 of the Primeira Liga, with Pau Victor Delgado providing the decisive moment in the first half.

The visitors found the breakthrough in the 37th minute. Pau Victor finished off a move created by Demir Tiknaz, whose assist set up the forward to put Braga 1–0 up. The goal stood as the only strike of the game, ultimately separating the sides at full time.

The match featured a flurry of yellow cards, underlining its competitive edge. Casa Pia’s David Sousa went into the book after 18 minutes, before a tense period around the interval saw bookings for Pau Victor himself and Geraldes in first-half stoppage time. Shortly after the restart, João Moutinho received a yellow card for Braga, and goalkeeper Lukáš Horníček was also cautioned in the 62nd minute.

Both coaches turned to their benches in search of a breakthrough or a response. Casa Pia introduced Cassiano at half-time for Claudio Mendes, later bringing on Korede Osundina for Dailon Rocha Livramento on the hour mark. A double change in the 71st minute saw Sebastián Pérez and Rafael Brito replace Lawrence Ofori and Iyad Mohamed.

Braga responded with changes of their own. Goal-scorer Pau Victor made way for Rodrigo Zalazar in the 62nd minute, while Gabriel Martínez was replaced by Leonardo Lelo a minute later. Veteran midfielder João Moutinho was withdrawn in the 71st minute, with Fran Navarro entering the fray.

No further goals followed, and Braga’s first-half strike proved enough to secure all three points. Detailed data on shots, possession, and other match statistics is not available, but the card count and substitutions reflect an intense contest that ultimately went Braga’s way.
