Braga needed patience against Estoril on Monday night at the Estádio Municipal de Braga, with the first half offering little to shout about. Chances were hard to come by and the sides went in level at the break, locked at 0-0 in a cagey Primeira Liga contest that took time to open up. The breakthrough eventually arrived after the restart, and it proved enough to settle things, with Braga edging it 1-0. It wasn't a classic, but three points are three points at this stage of the season, and Braga will take the win without worrying too much about the performance. Estoril, meanwhile, will be frustrated at coming away with nothing having kept things tight for so long. A single goal made all the difference, and on another night it might have finished all square, but Braga will happily take the result and move on.
