Moreirense twice came from behind to draw 2-2 with Sporting Braga in a Primeira Liga meeting. Joao Veloso's 90th-minute equaliser rescued a point after Pau Víctor had put Braga back in front. The draw means neither side could take the win in a match that Braga controlled for long spells.

Fran Navarro gave Braga a seventh-minute lead, but Nile John levelled within a minute. Pau Víctor restored the visitors' advantage in the 66th minute, only for Joao Veloso to score the final goal of the game in the 90th.

Braga dominated the statistics, with 64% possession, 12 shots to Moreirense's seven and 526 accurate passes to 258, though the hosts still converted two of their three shots on target. Moreirense's expected-goals figure of 0.21 was far below Braga's 0.94, yet the late equaliser showed their persistence. Joao Veloso's 90th-minute goal was the standout moment.
