Braga scored a huge goal against Benfica and obtained the ticket in to the final of UEFA EUROPA League. The player responsible for this is Custodio which trough his goal brought qualification for his team.
Custodio: “It is such a joy to have scored the goal that took us through, but this is a team victory because we showed great togetherness.”
“I only scored; everyone else was just as important – look at Paulão, who cleared one off the line. We are all in it, the entire squad. I think the secret was our quality, our desire and our collective strength.”
After this game, Domingos Paciência‘s team progressed to the first all-Portuguese UEFA final, a first for the northern club on such an elevated stage.
