The second goal arrived in the 76th minute, when Gómez turned provider and set up Gabri Martínez to make it 2-0. The result ended Gent's run of 17 games unbeaten.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave SC Braga 48%, the draw 30%, Gent 22%. It finished SC Braga 2–0 Gent.
Home advantage and ball control give Braga a slight lean — With almost nothing between the sides on our strength rating, the usual home advantage puts SC Braga in front, and their habit of controlling the ball, 58% possession to 47% in recent games, adds a little more. The draw sits at 30%, up from a usual 28% because both teams' recent games have been low-scoring, though Braga's control trims it slightly.
Why SC Braga in front?
Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1632 to 1602. Sides this close won 45.8% of 13,759 home games (draw 27.7%, visitors 26.5%). SC Braga hold 11 more possession points (58 to 47 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, home teams with this control edge won 48.3% of 5,173 games, vs 44.0% when styles were level.
Why only 48%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Level sides split the rest: the draw at 30% and Gent at 22%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Gent win?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 27.7%. These teams' recent games average 2.3 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.2% of 18,765. The goals environment adds 3.1 points to the draw.
