Braga v Panathinaikos| Results and Highlights |
However, the Shamrock's defensive resilience was eventually broken through Abel Ruiz before Alvaro Djalo doubled Braga's advantage, but with five minutes of injury time on the clock, Daniel Mancini came up with a potentially priceless response to reduce the arrears. Panathinaikos will not benefit from the abolished away goals rule on Tuesday night, but Jovanovic's side are not down-and-out by any means, and a comprehensive 3-0 Greek Super League win over Volos at the weekend served as the perfect warm-up to their imminent continental contest. Adam Gnezda Cerin, Fotis Ioannidis and Benjamin Verbic's strikes ensured that Panathinaikos would kick off their new domestic campaign on the right foot, and it is now 12 games without defeat for the Shamrock at their Athens headquarters since a 3-0 beating at the hands of PAOK in January. By successfully overturning their first-leg deficit, Panathinaikos would enter the draw for the Champions League group stage for the first time since the 2010-11 campaign, but even if Jovanovic's side cannot upset the odds, a return to Europa League football after a seven-year absence would still represent considerable progress.
In contrast, Braga have regularly emerged onto the field to the Europa League anthem on Thursday nights - taking part in the continent's secondary tournament in each of the last four seasons - but a Champions League homecoming is now within touching distance. Jorge's side made light work of Serbian foes Backa Topola in the third qualifying round with a crushing 7-1 aggregate victory, while they also recovered from a sticky start to their Primeira Liga campaign before overcoming Panathinaikos last week, defeating Chaves 4-2 away from home.
