Braga pull off shock 2-1 win against Benfica at the Luz

A surperbly contolled performance by Braga resulted in a shock 2-1 victory away at Benfica as the Lisbon club missed out on the chance to make up ground at the top of the table. 

First-half goals by new signing Fran Navarro and Robson Bambu gave the visitors a 2-0 lead at the break against an inexplicably apathetic Benfica team.

The hosts improved slightly in the second half but did not work Braga goalkeeper Matheus Magalhães enough and a goal by substitute Arthur Cabral proved to be only a consolation.
