Braga took a step towards the Europa League group stage after a 2-1 win against Rapid Vienna in the play-off first leg.
The Austrian club should have taken the lead inside 60 seconds, Dion Beljo intercepting a loose pass from Robson Bambu and rounding Matheus before missing an empty net.
The ridiculous introduction continued in the 4th minute when Lukas Grgić hacked down Rodrigo Zalazar, the midfielder eventually shown a straight red card after the VAR intervened.
Rapid scored against the run of play in the 25th minute, Matthias Seidl executing an expert pass for Guido Burgstaller who slotted the ball past Matheus.
Vitor Carvalho equalised eight minutes later after heading Rodrigo Zalazar’s corner into the top corner.
Braga began to take control but Burgstaller continued to be a threat, 'the pest' scoring from an offside position before Braga took control.
The winning goal came in the 71st minute after Mamadou Sangaré's mistake, a swift counter attack resulting in Zalazar firing a low drive into the bottom corner.
Vitória continued their impeccable start to the season with a convincing win over Zrinjski Mostar to take a giant step towards becoming the first Portuguese team to qualify for the UEFA Conference League.
