4 – 0
“Ricardo Horta steps up and converts the penalty to give Braga the lead, awarded following a foul after a spell of intense Pančevo indiscipline that had already seen Zoran Popovic booked moments earlier.”
Pivotal“Gabriel Silva makes it 2-0 on the stroke of half-time, ending any lingering hope Pančevo had of engineering a remarkable aggregate turnaround and sending Braga into the break firmly in control.”
Pivotal“Pau Víctor finishes to make it 3-0 shortly after the hour mark, with substitute Fran Navarro having just come on — the goal arriving amid another flashpoint as Nemanja Vidojevic was booked for arguing and then immediately carded again for tripping.”
“Substitute Fran Navarro caps the evening with a fourth goal five minutes from time, putting the finishing touch on a dominant aggregate victory and confirming Braga's passage into the next qualifying round.”
Sporting Braga
Železničar Pančevo
Sporting Braga wrapped up this Europa Conference League qualifier in emphatic fashion, completing a 5-0 aggregate demolition of Železničar Pančevo with a composed and clinical second-leg performance at home. The Portuguese side set the tone early, winning a penalty inside the half-hour through Ricardo Horta after a chaotic spell of Železničar ill-discipline — four yellow cards were shown before the break to the Serbian visitors — and Gabriel Silva doubled the advantage just before half-time to kill the tie entirely. Braga's 10 shots on target from 12 total attempts illustrated their efficiency, while Pančevo's 26 fouls told the story of a side that had no tactical answer and resorted to physical disruption. Pau Víctor added a third within three minutes of the restart's second phase before Fran Navarro rounded off the scoring with five minutes remaining, capping a serene evening that sees Braga advance comfortably into the next round of qualifying.
