Dream of the Portuguese Cup ends in the third round
After Sunday’s clash for the Portuguese Championship, Grupo Desportivo de Bragança and Pevidém, this tie will face each other, this time in the third round of the Portuguese Cup.
For the second time the victory fell to the Minho side, 0-1, in extra time in the 98th minute with the signature of Vítor Hugo.
The GDB presented itself with some changes the initial 11. With Abbas and Nuno Silvano out of the options due to injury, Marco Trigo and Capelo started out in a game in which they started better in the home team.
The nine-minute brigantine led to news and the Mailó-minute logo wasted a great opportunity for the GDB in advantage. The thrower appeared in the area, in a good position to score, but ended up hitting the bottom of the post. Nelinho still appeared in the finishing zone but didn’t make it in time for the reload.
Close to the break, Medarious took a dangerous shot at Bragança’s goal. André Reis was attentive and avoided the goal of the outsiders.
The second half brought no news. Bragança continues to command the game and reach the opposing goal with danger. Hidélvis, with a header, hit the side nets, after a corner taken by Óscar Barros and Gabi tried his luck with a low shot at 71.
The 0-0 at the end of regular time forces the teams to work overtime. In extra time, the experienced Vítor Hugo, who had come on in the 80th minute, made a difference to the visiting team and ended up resolving the match in the 98th minute.
In continual search in the encounter, the searched GDB incessantly seeks the go of equality. Mailó missed a great occasion. In the 104th minute, alone in the area, after an excellent cross by João Rocha from the right, he headed over
Bragança’s Group D finished the Olympic journey in the Portuguese Cup, at home, after having defeated Monção do Montijo. Pevidém has already stamped its passport for the fourth round.
The Bragantinos now turn all their attention to the Portuguese Championship and to the confrontation with Dumiense next Sunday.

Rafael Nascimento – Coach of GD Bragança
“Apart from the goal we conceded, nothing came of it. We were a super competent brand in every moment of the game and we were much better than Pevidém, but they were and we were not”.
Vasco Gonçalves – Pevidém Technician
“It was a balanced and difficult game for us, but we have seen it wait. The most important thing is that we won and moved on to the next stage. Of course, to the quality of the game, but not associated with it”.
