Braga ~~advances~~ secures third‑round spot in 2026 Conference League ~~qualifiers~~

Braga’s 1‑0 away win on 21 July was followed by a dominant 4‑0 home victory over Železničar Pančevo on 29 July, giving a 5‑0 aggregate and a place in the third qualifying round against Dinamo Minsk. The match at the Municipal Stadium, attended by about 30,286 fans and played without VAR, featured three penalties after Serbian goalkeeper Zoran Popović’s errors. Ricardo Horta converted the first spot‑kick, with Gabriel Silva, Pau Viktor and Fran Navarro adding the remaining goals. Coach Carlos Vicens highlighted the squad’s improved physical condition and depth, while Železničar’s Radomir Koković called the defeat a learning experience for his young side and criticised the penalty decisions. Braga president António Salvador presented former coach Jorge Jesus with a “Guerreiro de Cristal” award during the match, acknowledging his contributions before Jesus took charge of Portugal’s national team. The later match report confirmed the same goal‑scoring details and the award presentation. In the same qualifying round, Bosnian clubs saw mixed fortunes: Velež Mostar were eliminated by DAC Dunajská Streda, Zrinjski Mostar fell narrowly to Valur, and Borac Banja Luka secured a 3‑0 win over Petrocub. The second qualifying round thus delivered both decisive victories and tight eliminations as clubs vie for progression.
