Braga get first group stage win

Braga - Rodrigo Lima scored a stunning free-kick to set Braga on its way to a 2-0 win over Partizan Belgrade, the Portuguese club's first victory in the Champions League group stage.

The Brazilian forward struck after 35 minutes, lifting the ball over the defensive wall with pace to beat Partizan 'keeper Vladimir Stojkovic from 30m.

Braga wrapped up the win in injury time when substitute Luis Aguiar squared the ball for Matheus to tap into an empty net after a swift counter-attack.

Braga lost 6-0 at Arsenal on its group stage debut and then was beaten 3-0 at home by Shakhtar Donetsk.

Partizan has now lost all three of its games in Group H and is all but out of contention for the knockout phase.
