SC Braga vs Austria Vienna
SC Braga secure comfortable win over Austria Vienna
Pau Victor's penalty and Diego Rodrigues' late strike seal a 2-0 victory.

Pau Victor opened the scoring with a penalty in the first half and, despite missing a second penalty late on, Braga sealed the win with Diego Rodrigues' goal in the 88th minute. Fipster's low-confidence prediction of a home win was on the money, though the actual scoreline was a bit more decisive than forecast.
