Braga win a free-kick much to the joy of the home fans. Artur shamelessly accepts a yellow for time wasting off the delivery. We're almost over here...
90+4'
Braga try another break from all the desperate Benfica attempts to snatch this one, but tired legs mean it doesn't last long. They're still sharp at the back though, and deny the visitors from breaching the penalty area.

Benfica win a corner, will they send EVERYONE up? It was actually Kardec who was cleared off the line earlier, apologies.

Braga break from Benfica pressure and Silvio buys a free-kick off Luisao, which earns the defender a yellow card he didn't deserve.

Braga play the corner short. And again a short ball. And another. And another... to CUSTODIO! Roberto denies him a second! Great drive, too!

Just before the corner, Braga replaced Mossoro with Kaka in a very defensive sub. Meanwhile, following the set-piece, Benfica have taken off Martins for Alan Kardec.

Corner's whipped into the far post. And how did Saviola miss that!? I think he suspected himself offside. Replays show he handled it in fact, almost trying to catch it because of his position.

Coentrao's distance shot is blocked by his team-mate Saviola.

Meyong might be in here! He tries to squeeze through the centre-backs, but he's offside anyway.

Coentrao has been booked, either for dissent or kicking the ball away.
