Cup progress for Braga
A 2‑0 win over Famalicao, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Amine El Ouazzani keeps scoring at Angers SCO
29 appearances away from home and 24 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Jovan Milošević, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.80

Tempers go at Braga
Gianluca Prestianni was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The crowd has taken to Diogo Travassos
At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
