Europa League: Braga Bag Late With To Take SF First-leg Advantage

By IANS News May 01, 2026 • 10:00 AM View: 93

UEFA Europa League: Mario Dorgeles' added-time winner gave Braga 2-1 victory at home to Freiburg in their UEFA Europa League semi-final first leg.

This is Braga's second major European semi‑final, the first coming in the 2010/11 Europa League, when they advanced to the final on away goals against Benfica after a 2-2 aggregate draw.

Braga had scored three of their preceding five knockout stage home goals inside the first 16 minutes, so it was perhaps unsurprising when Demir Ege Tıknaz prodded the Portuguese side ahead in the eighth minute, reacting quickest to Victor Gomez's low cross.
