Sporting CP and Braga delivered a nail-biting 1-1 draw in Liga Portugal on Monday, complete with late-game fireworks 🎆—both on and off the pitch. Viktor Gyokeres stunned fans early with a silky free-kick goal (15'), but Braga refused to back down, battling smoke delays and tension to snatch a last-minute equalizer.
Braga’s Alonso Cruz Patrao became the hero in the 87th minute, heading home Rodrigo Zalazar’s cross like a scene straight out of a sports anime 🎬. The drama didn’t stop there: Sporting’s Joao Moutinho saw red for a reckless tackle, capping off a chaotic night.
The result shakes up the league table: Sporting slips to second place (66 pts), two points behind Benfica, while Braga holds firm in third. With Benfica now leading the race, the title chase just got *spicier* than a TikTok drama 🌶️.
