52
Huge opportunity for Braga straight away!Almost fatal moment of deconcentration! Long ball, Burgess gets a hole, the following shot is close to making 1-2 but is blocked… by a Portuguese

The Union equalizes!Van de Perre and Sadiki are maneuvering to launch Niang on the left, his back cross is perfect and finds Ivanovic who equalizes. The “Vamos a la playa” dear to the people of Saint-Gillois resounds and corresponds well to the state of the ground

23
First corner for the UnionIt’s difficult in the game, what if it comes from a set phase?
22

20
The Union must createThe intentions are there, the positioning is good but creativity is lacking on this capricious terrain.
17
Braga opened the scoring on the first chance of the matchSykes is sucked in on the left, Bruma is too alone in the center at the far post, he puts it back for El Ouazzani who makes it 0-1, the Union defense has been fooled.

Union SG – Braga: 0-020:56
The players take the fieldA detail that is not one: the pitch at the King Baudouin Stadium is in a sad state, far from being ideal for playing football.
20:54
Braga, good memories for the people of Saint-GillesIn the 2022/2023 season, the Union beat Braga 1-2 in Portugal and came back from a two-goal deficit in Leuven to share 3-3.
20:44
One move to playDespite all these absentees, the match is of crucial importance: with its 6/6 to finish 2024 has returned to the top 24 and would take a serious option on the play-offs in the event of victory. Opposite, Braga is 27th, with a small point less.
20:42
A litany of absentees for PocognoliLoïc Lapoussin, Guillaume François, Promise David and Lazare Amani are not on the European list, Anan Khalaili, Charles Vanhoutte and Kevin MacAllister are suspended, Sofiane Boufal and Alessio Castro-Montes are injured. The young Kamiel Van de Perre (very well played against Louvain) starts, there are only two outfield players from core A on the bench.
